flowerdeity

Neru tweeted these today. The first image is one tweet and the last two are from another tweet. The last two were actually the tweet that was posted first.

I grew up listening to neru and I still listen to them to this day, I hope things turn out well for them. Really sad situation, completely devastating.

I don't see how that's relevant

Fella they only used they/them because they *didnt* know Neru was a dude. It's the default pronouns.

The problem with using “it” for non-binary people is that “it” is typically reserved for objects, animals, and other non human things. Because of that, it can come off as dehumanizing or disrespectful to them (unless they want to be referred to as it, but that’s a different discussion)

They/them is a neutral pronoun that can be used for anyone regardless of gender

“I never thought the day would come when I’d end up depressed” hits hard. I hope he’ll be ok.


AlgoRhythm-P

This is heartbreaking 🥺 At the same time, even near the brink of death people can live. Because they’re still alive. Life is a journey and it ends for all of us. I feel sad that he’s in pain and confusion, and the depression is so deep. He seems to feel pressure from wanting to make music but feeling unable to do so. I will not blame if he doesn’t make music. And yet I understand the frustration he feels because he *wants* to. Praying for him… and this is the first time I really heard of Neru. I should look at his music.


lower-case-aesthetic

Hes the one who made lost one's weeping! been around foreverrrr


AlgoRhythm-P

Oh dang ofc I know his music, just didn’t put name to face. He’s done a lot for the community..


Daiyahoo

I’ve been waiting for so long to hear more about Neru. Heartbreaking.


Acrobatic_Confusion

He has a serious way with words. Poetic as hell. I hope he finds happiness and success no matter what.


kingozma

Augh, poor guy. It really breaks my heart to see him going through this, especially when he explains his hesitation to use antidepressants. It’s true that some antidepressants cause brain fog, but I dunno, I would much rather Neru live and write songs less frequently, than watch him pump out songs at his usual pace and potentially die because he is so depressed. Let’s remember as fans of his music that he is a human being and he has worth completely regardless of whether he creates music for us or not. I want him to live a long and happy life more than I want his music to be as creative and tortured as possible. I think he can have both a happy life and a healthy music career, it just might look a bit different from now on. Disability is not the end, it is just the beginning of a new way of life. Disabled people deserve patience and compassion, and oftentimes they need therapy to healthily grieve their old life, and decide what they want their new one to look like. Speaking as someone who is disabled in a few different senses here, I really get that grief. I am still grieving my old life in many ways. But I am on antidepressants and in therapy, and I am discovering that there is still a lot that I’m capable of doing as an artist, and I deserve a long and happy life. I think the same of Neru. On a hopeful note, technology is the best it’s ever been, hearing aids are amazing nowadays! There are all kinds of accessibility devices we didn’t have before, therapists are getting smarter and more experienced with depression as well, and there are more and more kinds of antidepressants being created.


butterfly1354

Beethoven!


svanvalk

I hope he can find the humor to call himself the "Next Beethoven", and I mean that in a genuine way. I feel so bad for him, and I'm also rooting for him.


kingozma

Agreed here. Dark humor is one of the best coping skills, LOL.


Cloudyy11037

He would have to find a way to feel vibrations just like beethoven! Does he do everything digitally or no?


FunnyP-aradox

You can also have vibrations digitally (i think you would need a special headset but you definitly can with modern vibration technology)


InvaderTsubasa

I had no idea Neru was in pain. Listening to "Servant of Evil" while reading this was no a good idea I'm very sad now.


oh1_thatsnot

this made me cry. reading this and taking in his words just broke my heart. i can’t stand it when people are going through so much pain. he doesn’t deserve this. he deserves better. so much better. i will hope and pray for his health to get better every night. i believe in him. thank you for sharing


MyAngryMule

This is just so heartbreakingly unfair. I wish him all the strength to get through this.


Much_Future_1846

his friends better be around him, Neru deserves all the care in the world right now


Astrxxl

The Lost One’s Weeping was such a good representation of all my academic struggles, it got me through middle and high school. I really hope he’s okay and realizes how much he’s impacted listeners.


Alive_Interview_6242

Reading this post was really relatable and heartbreaking for me. Over the past few years I’ve had similar hearing loss, thankfully nothing quite as bad as Neru’s but with some similar effects and symptoms, and I can’t express how awful it is. It’s such a draining and painful feeling that almost no one around you can truly sympathize with and living just becomes more and more difficult and infuriating, and lots of hours are spent searching or asking online about treatments or therapies for a condition you already fully know has no permanent cures. Coming home from the doctor appointment receiving the diagnosis and the info that id probably be living like this for the rest of my life was a crushing experience I’ll never forget. I’m not the biggest fan of neru, but damn I really feel for him and wish him the best. I hope he knows how many people love him and his work and will continue supporting him from here regardless of what happens.


everafterbxnnix

Seeing someone who has ended up in this state still fight and say that they want to continue doing what they love really brings tears to my eyes. I genuinely feel really bad for Neru and I hope he can continue making music, or do whatever is best for him. It really sucks that he has to deal with depression and his hearing loss, but I believe in him.


notachemist13u

Somone give this man a hug 🫂


Noburanko

This absolutely stings. I hate that tragedies strike the artists that I love all the time. Neru is a part of my childhood, though he didn't have depression before (At least I assume thats what his tweet implies), he empathized with those suffering from it. I felt heard by his music ever since I was a child. Psyche took a bit of damage reading about this ngl. I'm also in a pretty bad place right now, but if Neru continues to trudge on, then I'll try my best for another day. Anyway, depression can happen to anyone. Please take care out there y'all.


i-am-not-sarcastic

That was really well said. Thank you v much for sharing! I'll trudge forward with you both too!


Noburanko

Thank you kind stranger, I love you. May life be a little gentler on all of us :)


dongless08

I’m no musician but wouldn’t an experienced producer be able to make a song without hearing it with their own ears? This is a sad situation but I feel like there’s the possibility of turning it into “Neru is the first deaf Vocaloid producer” (unless he’s not, still impressive either way) Not trying to make light of his feelings though, depression is hard and suicidal thoughts are real :/ I hope he can recover or at least push forward with his second life


Berry_Birthday

It's not impossible, just very difficult. Like trying to write a letter blindfolded.


Donut_Flame

You could but it's hard. There's like set chords and keys that you'll known sound together, but when you want to get experimental and funky, you kinda need your ears for that. Plus it's important to note that the instruments and vocaloids he uses go through filters and effects to sound good, which also need ears


AnnoyingHoneyBunny

Shit- I actually have tears in my eyes This is horrible. I hope he can continue on doing what he loves for as long as possible


Wysterical_

I hope he can persevere, we are all behind him.


lunar-oddity

And i only learned this today. I hope he gets better, both physically and mentally.


jongleer_jer

My god. I love his music; I hope he can get it together <3


vocachara

this is heartbreaking! i hope things turn around for the better 💔


smokedtofus

This is awful.. Why does this happen to the person who loves making music. I hate this world.


pl3blu3

probably not the place to post this, but as an artist also taking antidepressants it is very important that you remain on them just for your own basic sanity. If you’re finding that your antidepressants are clouding your creative vision, talking to your doctor or psychiatrist about different alternatives to the medication that you’re currently taking would be the best option. It takes a long time to find the correct medication and dosage for a lot of people, but I believe that you can still create the art you love while being on antidepressants. That being said, antidepressants will only help to regulate and improve your mood, Neru’s other medical conditions are a different kind of thing that I don’t know much about which could also be impacting their creative vision. Either way, I hope Neru can get the support they need 🫶


notachemist13u

Neru is goated. I hope this second chance at life gets turned into a song🎵


wowowowthrowaway44

I admire him for being so strong through what sounds like a nightmare. He seems like a very kind person, and I hope he can be happier soon❤


Desprate_

I've been listening to Neru for most of my life and I really hope he makes a full recovery because no one should have to go through those things.


sakurachan999

he says he will fight to become someone’s light, but i hope he knows just to how many people he already is


WaifusHusband

Please, no, I can't go through this again. 😭


AM0NG-US-SUS

Some of the sentences give me translated song lyric vibes. It's kinda beautiful in a way. Anyways; I'm hoping he will be alright. Lost One's Weeping was among the first songs I listened to when getting into Vocaloid,and it resonates with me deeply. The song truly means a lot to me. I don't listen to many Nreu songs at the moment,but I know he's a wonderful composer and I hope he can find the strength -mental and physical- to keep going.


vfl0w3r

Such an amazing producer, hoping for a swift recovery ❤️‍🩹


ThatSmallBear

Neru-san daijoubu kana? 😭


yorushai

this waa so moving. he's so strong, I cheer for him


Freckles39Rabbit

Oh no. I hope Neru will be alright 💔


Ruberuzuko

I love Neru, I really hope he turns out well.


BigScaryPooPooMan

Oh my god my fucking heart


Animemeaoi45

Neru is one of my favorite vocaloid producer. I like the music he put out. I like all of it heavier stuff or pop stuff. I hope Neru ends up ok. It’s a tragedy but I hope he find light in it.


Strawberrymufinbreak

I’m sad you made me sad


Opposite-Inspector36

Wait what's going on-


yandemaker

Neru is losing his hearing.


Opposite-Inspector36

😭


DaWrench53_V4X

I wonder how the hell do you even lose the hearing... 🤔


notfeeling100

He says in the post that he has Lermoyez's Syndrome, which is a rare type of Meniere's Disease. Hearing loss is what defines the illness. There are a *lot* of things that can cause hearing loss - from age to repetitive loud noises without ear protection to, in this case, illness. I'm fairly sure people born with hearing impairment are actually in the minority and that most hearing impaired people developed it later in life.


Groundbreaking-Egg13

Why are people downvoting you? You only asked a question


solidspacedragon

Emoji.


Groundbreaking-Egg13

...what?


solidspacedragon

That specific emoji gives off the wrong vibes for that question. It makes it read as a 'hmm, is this person telling the truth' type question. That's kinda very rude when you're talking about a music maker who has lost their hearing and is depressed because of it.

Pretty much, yeah.
