Dubious notability, only claim to fame rests on the back of SEGA. A good chunk of the sources come from the artist's blog, the artist's Twitter account, or from blogs owned by SEGA or by their employees.

 * Keep Artist has widespread presence in international press and online communities. He has had several high profile releases including a major label album and single (EMI Music Japan) which was widely reported in the Japanese press. Other releases and productions are currently available from retailers around the globe and have been for very notable artists and labels (cited sources). Request for page deletion seems uninformed, perhaps a request for source improvement would be more appropriate. DolphinBlueUK (talk) 16:37, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe, but I still stand by my nomination, for the simple reason that I fail to see any notable sources outside of SEGA and other related sources has not been established adequately in the article's lifespan. ShawnIsHere (talk) 00:06, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete lacks coverage in independent reliable sources (if there is widespread presence in international press why can't we see it? and why is it sourced by non independent, non reliable sources?) nothing satisfying wp:music. duffbeerforme (talk) 09:58, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Google is your friend... (http://www.google.com/search?q=%E3%83%99%E3%83%B3%E3%83%88%E3%83%AC%E3%83%BC%E3%83%BB%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A7%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BA&btn=). A plethora of international press and coverage from many reputable sites can easily be found if you input his name in Japanese. I maintain that this nomination seems uninformed and that a source clean-up may be more appropriate. DolphinBlueUK (talk) 00:07, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
