Draft:Yabujin

Yabujin (born April 24, 1999), stylized as ＹＡＢＵＪＩＮ, is a Lithuanian artist who started releasing music in 2015. Yabujin produces the instrumentals for most of his tracks as well as doing vocals, which range from high-pitch, catchy clean vocals to rap. Yabujin takes heavy inspiration from late 00's culture for his visual aesthetic and lyrics, which reference video games that were popular during that period such as Tekken, Counter-Strike 1.6, Runescape and online flash games as well as references to the online culture and technology from that time.

Yabujin is also the creator of the Azeroy series; a fictional world of his with its own language and script, Azeroyyska, which is used in some of his tracks and many of his music videos.

Yabujin has gone under multiple aliases, such as 𝔇𝔍 6YRథ్‌٣٣A ЗАО (DJ Gyrotta Zao), LAMIANAGA, ligonis85, TTrauma, Sp1r1t0x, YABHIEL, and many more. A work-in-progress list of pseudonyms can be found under the tag Eck tatoo bleck tattooing.

Yabujin had been privating and unprivating tracks of his and uploading parody versions of his own music on both Yabujin and DJ Gyrotta Zao's pages. The further into his career, the more cryptic and prolific his releases had become - songs and remixes released under obscure pseudonyms, often employing extremely unusual samples and visuals. The most notable of these releases, the December 2022 album, DESIRE, is a parody of his 2019 album, Flash Desire.

Yabujin had 3 Instagram accounts which he used to activate and deactivate randomly. On 27th January, 2023, Yabujin posted an image of what fans have speculated to be a mental hospital. On 30th January, Yabujin deleted both his main page and his side-project, DJ Gyrotta Zao, from SoundCloud. Shortly after, he deleted the page for LAMIANAGA.

Yabujin had previously deleted many songs from his YouTube and SoundCloud accounts, but had never outright deleted his SoundCloud account until January. Many fans speculate Yabujin will not return to music.
