Kenji Eno will live on.

D, Enemy Zero, D2…legendary survival horror originals all from the mind of Kenji Eno. I remember playing D on the PlayStation when it came out and while frustrated by its difficulty and timed experience I was impressed by its atmosphere and story. I would go on to read an article in GameFan magazine that really impressed me about the man, the myth, the legend. Enemy Zero would, again, be hard as fuck, but engaging and original but it was D2 on the Dreamcast that one my heart and mind over. I was obsessed with it. Not wanting to wait for the US release, I imported it and with the help of GameFaqs.com I was able to play it and complete it twice in a language I didn’t understand. Of course, when the US port came out I would beat that one a couple times as well. I still have my import copy that I go back to from time to time.

Years later I would message Eno-San on Live Journal, My Space and then Facebook before his untimely passing. His responses to me would be short but very warm and friendly.

Fast forward to 2020. I started putting together a few songs dedicated to his creations. I’ve been tinkering with them on and off and hope to release them soon as an EP dedicated to his memory. Hopefully I can get them out before the end of the year, if not, early 2024.

Stay tuned.

Thank you for reading.
