I couldn't believe it when I read it: Reuben Kee is dead. Death is such a sad thing, especially when it's unexpected and accidental. It would be much different if we were all 80 years old and we got used to our loved ones dying, but this is not the case: he was young. He had talent. He had a life filled with music right in front of him, I know it. *cries for two minutes* Words over the internet cannot express the emotions we may be filled with right now, not even emoticons could do justice; not even a thousand "" smilies. All I can say is that I miss his talent and I expect every one of us to look over the backs of everyone here. If any of us die, I expect the news to come out, and I promise to do so if I ever do hear of a death and no one has posted it.

Also, I've done a tribute to Reuben Kee. The background song is a remix of his called "Reflections" and it's from a game called Shenmue.

Dear Reuben Kee

Oh, and by "straight face" I meant is as "keeping myself from crying like I have been for the past hour."

so terrible and sad

It always hurts when something like this happens...

Nario: Your voice shows how shaken up you (understandably) are. It sort of makes me feel like I should be more upset, or should have more to say. Unfortunately, though, I didn't know of him... But that doesn't mean it's not still incredibly sad.
R.I.P Reuben.

Before today I only knew of 'Ascension to Cosmo Canyon' by him and now I treat him as if I've been in touch with him all the time. It's quite amazing, really. I guess I just simply need a catalyst to look closely upon someone and I'm sure I can use this experience to look closer into others, whether they be here at The Shizz or elsewhere, mainly because I'd be sad if I died and no one cared about me until I was already dead. "NEVAR SAY DIE" is a positive way at ignoring the inevitable end, but it's kind of difficult to tell that to Reuben Kee right now...

I can't say that I'm familiar with his remixes or anything (I'm not really an OCR fan), but still, this is a total tragedy, especially considering his age. Damn...

Agreed... That's what gets me. When someone with so much potential in life just loses the opportunity to further pursue it at such a young age.

[pingosimon]

Yeah it sucks when people die, k bye.

Your space bar is really broken, isn't it?

PROTIP: Take out the top-right Choppa Man to get the power of Space Bar Repair.

On a more serious note, yeah, on the second page they basically confirm it's the same guy. Same age, same interests, last login times match up, etc.

:\ I really enjoyed some of his work too and messaged him a bit about it. RIP.

[thesamareaye]

No way...

Dude, he made such beautiful music...crap...

[nEwT]

To anyone who isn't familiar with his work, visit

Some of my favorites:

Once Upon a Lifestream (FF7)

To Far Away Times (Chrono Trigger)

Ascension to Cosmo Canyon (FF7)

Legend of the Snake (Metal Gear Solid 1,2,3)

Awesome musician, I'll miss him

[Spookmeister C]

That's pretty damn tragic. Shit.

[Corax]

I've never heard of him before, however I'm on his site right now and his music is beautiful. His style is EXACTLY how I've imagined piano can be amazing. This is very sad, I can't believe he wont be making more beautiful music.

Death means so much more when it's not a statistic sometimes.
