(This is a post from The Enigma TNG YouTube, but it also applies to Saiyan Enigma Facebook as well)
Hey there everybody, this is kind of long so bear with me here.
So I don't know how many of you were following my Facebook and Twitter (or X) pages, but I just wanted to bring to everyone's attention that I have chosen to delete them. I did this not only so that I have less social media to micromanage but also because I personally find them irrelevant and aren't very helpful. And Twitter in particular just seems like a cesspool for negative bullsh*t (pardon my french). Both of these platforms (at least in my experience) just don't really seem to be that great at making sure your posts are reaching the audiences that are following you.
It's been this way for years and it took me some time to think about whether I should just pull the plug or not as it doesn't really seem to be a huge loss ultimately. I would imagine the majority of people on those websites are following me primarily on YouTube anyways so I really don't see the point in keeping those other platforms around. Perhaps my mind will change and I'll open another social media page in the future as time goes on. But as of right now, my YouTube, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, and Instagram are the only pages that I care about, 3 of those pages being for obvious reasons. My Instagram is being kept because I like the simplicity of it.
So if you guys (and to anybody reading this in the future) can't find me on Facebook and Twitter, well this is why. I do have a Discord that is open for anybody to join which you can find in my video descriptions here on YouTube, and we have it setup so that a discord bot provides my latest uploads in our news channel, just incase that interests anybody. Idk if the Discord will be around forever, but as of right now it's open for anybody to come in. I almost forgot to mention that my Tumblr is also deleted as well, for the same reasons I deleted Facebook and Twitter. So with all that being said, I hope all of you guys have a good day, or night.

I just saw the news a little bit ago.
Akira Toriyama has died. Honestly it doesn't even feel real to me. I had to sit and think about it for awhile. This man's creations are probably one of the biggest things to ever happen in my life. I can't tell you how many times I teared up watching Dragon Ball Z, watching Gohan snap on Cell with tears in his eyes, I felt the pain. When Goku lost it and raged out on Frieza, I felt that pain. When a dying Vegeta teared up as he explained to Goku what Frieza has taken from the Saiyans, and that he needs to be stopped, I felt the pain. When Android 16 told Gohan to let it go, right before snapping on Cell. When Goku told Gohan to use the pain of loss, I felt that so much. I never really stopped to consider that Akira Toriyama was behind all of those moments and many more. There was so much emotional weight in that anime, and ultimately in that man. Part of my musical sound may not even be what it is without his creations. I'm sure there are so many forms of music, anime, and just entertainment in general around the world that probably wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for his work to inspire and influence so many people. So many Athletes, creators, and many more that were moved in some way, shape, or form by his works. It hurts to type all of this, real heavy knot in my stomach right now. The gravity of this is slowly setting in.
- Rest In Power, and in peace - Akira Toriyama.

Hey there everybody,
A few people brought to my attention that the discord link was broken in my vid descriptions. Sorry about that. It is now updated. For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, here's some info below:
My wife & I made a discord for, but not limited to, introverted and/or shy gamers (and non-gamers too). It was originally private but we decided to make it public in case anybody wanted to join. There are rules. Please read, agree, & follow them. Be kind & respectful.

Hope everyone has a good day, or evening.

Just a quick update, Z themes is now available on Spotify and other online platforms, for those who've been asking randomly. I originally had the intentions to put it up for you guys years ago but never got around to it for multiple reasons. Nevertheless, it's better late than never. Songs 1 through 18 (last one being Moro's theme from recently this year) are all there. Any future themes I decide to do will either get added to the Bandcamp version or I will just start a new album entirely (no promises so don't hold your breath guys). Ultimately I just wanna' say thanks for your support, if you would have told 8 year old me in 1998 that a bunch of people in the future would like dbz based music I created I'd probably have a convulsion from excitement lol. It may not seem like it due to me not being very social, and time does indeed change people, but deep down inside I'm still that same excited little boy.

Alright, so I'm not making any promises and don't wanna get anybody's hopes up, however.... if I had to pick 1 theme to make that you guys all wanted, what would it be? Perhaps it's more than one character. Maybe it's even a character from another anime, you know, like a cross-over sort of thing? Perhaps I should do a poll, but first I wanna see what characters you guys say. Original themes only, no remixes. This doesn't mean there's more themes coming around the corner as I do not know when or if I will do them, but I'm still curious to see what you guys say.

Saiyan Enigma (aka The Enigma TNG & Sylvangrove Serenata) is a passion project inspired by the American soundtrack of DBZ from the late 90's early 2000's. Here you will find original music inspired by the Dragon Ball universe.
Feel free to use my music in a non-commercial video, stream, or other project if you desire. YouTube videos (or other platforms) are okay, use whatever song you wish. Be sure to credit me.
If you want to use my music in a commercial project, you will need a license. You can obtain one through CD Baby Licensing at the link below. Just type in "The Enigma TNG" in the search bar. If you don't see a specific song, try my artist name again but with lowercase "ng" in the TNG of my name. They have me split up in 2 pages for some reason.
