"Guitar virtuoso"

from what i know, more like mime virtuoso

Disappointed to see he’s heavily relying on a bunch of features for his debut LP. Wish he’d get back to his original sound (Forn EP era). His newer sound has been more gimmick focused.

"from what i know, more like mime virtuoso"

Read my mind. His stuff is so clearly sped up and edited. And it just sounds like the starting of every anime from the last 10 years.

TIL he's a fraud. At least a Herman Li can't play shit live. Guess that explains why Illusory Sense never had a full recording video, lol

How do we know he's a fraud? Is there a video of a shit live performance or smthing?

Yeah I saw one and with the other claims I saw of edited videos I don't see any reason to doubt. As I said, that Illusory Sense song I really like I found it odd that you need to see fan covers to see it performed in full. I'm not saying he's a fake, but he clearly needs a lot of behind the scenes work to play on the level he presents as.

Calling him a fraud is a bit of a stretch, he recently wrapped up a tour and he played pretty well. Not doubting there’s been behind the scene shenanigans going on for some of his more intricate stuff he can’t pull off live.

watch his videos and look at his hair. Either he is in a room with 4x the gravity of earth, or he is speeding his videos up.

Also, just like, nobody plays that perfectly really.

Alright so watching a few of his live videos, he seems pretty uncomfortable with the setting. A lot of fiddling around with in-ears, pedals, random feedback, etc. He's always sitting down lol.

I'm sure he *can* play at least most of his shit when he's in his bedroom and has infinite takes to get it right before editing and uploading.

Some vids do *look* totally sped-up tho - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouEs_whiQlg

"Ichika is most known for providing guitar features with numerous bands including..."

I'd say he's most known as a 30 second instagram guitarist lol

Damn I was ready to doubt, but that is extremely obvious

Someone made a video on how he's a fake. Its... thorough:

New album is decent. Just removed the three tracks with vocals (they’re horrible) from the album and it’s a lot better. Few tracks remind me of his early Forn EP
