Other Important Info[2][3][]
At the end of May 2011, Mari-san, 【Ren】's girlfriend, had died in an accident. Eight days after the accident, he wrote on his Nico Nico Douga Community about her death and the torments she had endured from a fraction of his fans. But even though she was harassed, it didn't shake their relationship and Mari-san continued to support and encourage 【Ren】 to keep on singing. “No matter what happens, please don’t give up singing.”
In honor of Mari-san, 【Ren】 sang "Namae no Nai Uta", which can only be viewed in his community.

Trivia[]
- He often calls himself an "ossan", which is slang for a "old man".[citation needed]
- Despite retiring from Nico Nico Douga on March 8 2017 [4], he still collaborates infrequently with Dasoku as DSK x REN, with uploads made on Dasoku's channel. In addition, he is slated to perform live at Chang Gero Sonic 2019[5], although it is unknown whether his return will be permanent.
