This is a man who has truly said, "fuck all this bullshit" and decided to live life to the absolute fullest.

keiko's lifespan halved by maintaining her professional spirit with nothing more than a smile, against soken's onslaught of antics

Soken is an absolute legend. He battled cancer for 8 months while still producing music and then he comes out and memes infront of millions with zero f*cks given.

Doctor, can i please leave the hospital, for i have to LAHEE.

"You're laughing. *Soken is Laheeing* and your laughing!"

"Video games can heal" - Soken

day 1: it looks like soken is full of energy and having a great time despite no audience day 2: oh.

I love how when Soken runs off stage you can see Keiko cover her face because you know she is laughing.

After listening to the closing speech .. about sokens struggle with cancer.. not telling anyone.. to not impact the dev. team in their work.. and asking his best friend Yoshi-P to please not tell anyone.. I see this in a totally different light. Him standing there and performing the goofy lahee was not just endearing and lovable. It was a celebration of life and to have fun and enjoy life while you have it.

Just imagine how happy he is in these moments. After over half a year of pain and hardship and being alone in a hospital room, he's able to be on the FanFest stage with his friends and colleagues again doing silly stuff like this. #WelcomeBackSoken

I'm so happy this absolute treasure of a musical meme lord genius survived.

Soken during A Long Fall is basically everyone in The Twinning

One thing I really like is that Soken is being a goofball, but when you watch the entire long fall performance, he doesn't even look up at the sheet music once. He knows it so well he knows we to fool around and when to play at the best moments.

Having seen the ending makes this even more precious.

Truly a national treasure, we must protec this man who gives no f*cks xD

not crying not crying not crying not crying not crying not crying not crying (after that bombshell on end of fanfest)

Soken and Keiko have such a lovely chemistry performing together. Love that she has now finally accepted the chaos that is Soken and is not as phased as she used to be.

The end to FanFest was so sad, #WELCOMEBACKSOKEN

Always the happiest guy in the room. We love you Soken!

The pianist is my hero. I can't believe she kept it together that whole time and managed to be a boss on that piano too

This fan fest makes Blizzcon look boring.

Keiko is awesome for supporting Soken in his antics. I love the amount of support and love they all have for each other.

oh god, i can stop laughin at the Keiko's face... she is so lost, and at the same time so adorable

The things he did for us on this day before that ending reveal. I love you Soken, glad to have you with us! ♥

LA HEE oh my god I'M GONNA DIE LAUGHING AT THIS, HE'S A FUCKING TREASURE

Genius composer, master memelord.

Now topping the charts for desired orchestration rolls - Soken's Lahee.

The community - dev team relationship is one of the reasons why I started to play FF14 and I'm not gonna lie I don't regret it at all, I've never feel so welcomed in a video game and it's one of those rare cases where I feel the dev team actually cares about the players Thank you so much Soken

A true legend, I am joining FFXIV just to experience something he was part of.

Singing bad on purpose is very difficult. Look into the musical comedy duo of Jonathan and Darlene Edwards from the 1950s.

The real Warrior of Light.

You know this has to become a orchestrion roll.

Stay healthy soken!!

I know someone already said that Soken looks like he's living his life to the fullest and he really doesn't care how he looks to a lot of people, as long as he's making them happy. And on the 2nd day of FanFest, we all realised why. What a hero of a man. What an idol to look up to. This is kind of person I want to be as I grow up. Despite how tough life got for him, he did everything in his power to keep making content for the community that he loved. And by the gods, do we love him too.

Keiko and Soken playing together is an absolute joy to watch. I hope they post at least parts of the musical performances from Fanfest so people who couldn’t get tickets can experience some of that, especially whatever shenanigans Soken gets up to.

Let us honor this performance - let it go viral, let it go a meme-song. DO IT! LET US RESCUE THIS WORLD!!!

Please be with us forever Soken

THANK YOU SOKEN AND WELCOME BACK

Soken is always amazing and Keiko always look so stunning. I love this duo.

stay healthy! soken!! #WELCOMEBACKSOKEN

#welcomebacksoken you absolute memelord and musical magician. We are blessed to have you.

The look on the face of the lady at the piano

omg lmao xDDD respect him so much after what he announced

Love this guy so much! It's been so amazing enjoying his work throughout the years.

As I listen to this at work, I'm trying (and failing) not to laugh out loud in front of my coworkers. Bless this man, who has so much joy to give in spite of the circumstances

Seeing this with Chat really makes me feel 10x better!

Keiko here reminds me of those poor secretaries that has to put up with a boss that is absolutely batshit insane while maintaining professionalism.

Thank you for uploading this. We must preserve this for future generations.

Soken thank you for everything you have brought to this community

we love you so much soken, glad you are getting better my friend! well wishes and stuff! please keep up the amazing work brother!

Absolute legend. Welcome back!

I already knew Soken's a legend as a composer, but this is definitely taking it to a whole new level. Props to the pianist for going along with his shenanigans. I've got some new respect for the man X)

Man is a freaking laheero

Man is a legend, glad he's in remission

The absolute madman :D Love this so much!

I need the chicken dance as an emote in-game. In other news, I wanna be Soken when I grow up.

1:38 Lmfao that wonky note always gets me. Keiko just sitting there trying not to laugh must be soooo life consuming. All these legendary shitposts🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol, That was great. I caught this when I woke up. Nice to watch it again.

Thank you Soken!!

i am not joking when i say this man and his performances is how i found out about ffxiv, and why picked it up then, too. now i'm absolutely in love with the game and all the amazing music he has composed.

Imagine having to keep up playing the piano during this

Hoping the upcoming Fanfest is also a streamed-only event so we can have more experiences like this.

he's such a king i love him so much

Oneyng always wanted famous musicians to sing horribly on purpose. This is for him

Imagine a moment if that chat had been an actual crowd witnessing this live down the stage.

Fanfest best event of this year change my mind !

Man I am a huge Fan of him now.

#WELCOME_BACK_SOKEN #WeLoveYouSoken 💖

I would like the meme version of La Hee for my house Ty. I will be waiting for my orchestration roll.

hope he gets well soon

I love how he likes to butcher the songs on purpose 😍😍also super glad he went into remission and i really hope it stays that way

In game there should be an option for whenever you go to Raktika Greatwood to be able to choose the original version or this version.

Soken is so wonderful haha

i come back to this video often jot to see keiko's reactions -or restrain-

He's killing it. No honestly, I think the instrument is screaming out in pain. xD

Soken is a national treasure!

Soken is a pure legend. glad this man beat the hell out of cancer. the ending to this fan event had me in tears with yoshi p. but damn it makes me happy he still being soken. ;)

from the very beginning the pianist ladys face is that of "im sorry whaaaaaaaaattt???" hahaha

What an absolute lord.

What a legend!

I NEED THIS AS MY RINGTONE!!!

The great forest be hitting different

Certified mad lad.

This is the only song I'm listening to 4ever

4:02 We need this dance in our emotes

Keiko's face when Soken just walked out with 2 of those 2 Otamatones "nani the fuck"

You must live you glorious man! T_T I can't believe he has cancer! ; ;
