This is an incredible opportunity to boost the campaign. Don't waste it!


Hop on twitter and thank him! And be sure to retweet this to help this tweet go big.

You may know Kavinsky from his music featured in DRIVE. He named an album Outrun, so he's clearly been a Suzuki fan for a long time.

EDIT: Just followed up his first tweet with this.

Kavinsky wrote:I should go home. Ine-san will be worried about me.

Amazing!

That's very neat. I guess someone brought the campaign to his attention.

I've been tweeting him a bunch... Worried he was going to get annoyed, but it worked.

Can those of you who are active in the Kickstarter comments please post the Kavinsky facebook post and direct commentators to LIKE it because that will boost it on to more dashboards?

Kickstarter comments are definitely a real jungle, but clearly a lot of activity there...

Famous electro-pop musician. Had his music in Grand Theft Auto 4 and the Ryan Gosling movie Drive.

Huge Yu Suzuki fan, named his album after Outrun. He's actually quite talented.

Wow! There was an electronic music album inspired by OutRun released in 2013. Why am I only finding out about this now?

Seriously, it's awesome that Kavinsky is supporting Shenmue 3 in such a big way. This might help the campaign a great deal.

As an aside, I just listened to listen to NIghtcall to get an idea of what his music sounded like. Moments after that trrack ended I grabbed the whole OutRun album off Google Play. I like what I hear, I can definitely notice a Daft Punk influence in the songs I've listened to so far - which is fine by me.

Yes this is a really rare opportunity to bring Shenmue into contact with a more mainstream audience than usual.

Celebrity endorsements can really help campaigns.

Good electro musician although often lacking of imagination. I'm glad that we share the same passion.

Not true. The "Outrun" album alone is insanely well put together.
Some of his stuff reminds me of a younger Jean Michel Jarre.

Facebook post already has 450 likes! Not bad at all! Keep them coming. Again it would be helpful if people shared the link to that post on the Kickstarter comments and other places where Shenmue fans are congregating.

Really enjoy his work as well, I think the Jarre comparison is apt.
