Retirement... What Comes Next?

Thank you so much everyone for such supportive feedback! I was initially afraid that you might not react well to this announcement, which is why I set an extended waiting period hence the January 1, 2025 goal to give some more needed adjusting space. But now after your overwhelming show of support, I've had some moments to rethink things. Just a tiny change, so instead of doing the change in Jan 1, I will instead GRADUALLY implement the changes as soon as they're ready, LEADING to Jan 1, instead of doing so only in Jan 1. :_spgRock: As of this post, still lots of behind the scenes stuff that need to be sorted out, but expect changes to happen gradually as the weeks and months pass by, instead of all in one go, as I implied on the video. :_spgVibe: Again, really, THANK YOU. :_spgPog:You have made this grown man tear up. 😢

Gotta say, Diwa de Leon is an epic name. Like, if I saw a paladin NPC in full plate armor in an CRPG with that name, I wouldn't even question it.

I got REALLY worried for a second. You're one of my favorite channels and I don't even know how I'd react if you ACTUALLY retired!

lionmight is actually a sick name imo

Been a huge fan of StringPlayerGamer for years, and I am so proud to be a fan of LionMight, too. Thank you for the fantastic content so far and for the amazing musical journey to come! Happy 44th birthday!! And many more!!

When a book is closed, another can open up Will be excited for whatever is going to happen

Got a bit worried for a sec lol- Good on you for branching out! I'm excited to see where this goes

So excited to this announcement man. I've been watching your videos for about 10 years now, and I can't wait to see what happens next :)

Happy birthday, SPG/Lionmight! Congrats on the rebranding, that's a really cool name! Looking forward to your future works! :D

Congratulations man! I’ve been a huge fan for years, and I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of awesome new stuff you’ll make going forward. Diwa de Leon is an absolutely epic name, and LionMight is a really awesome way of using your name to inspire your new brand name. Happy birthday, and May the Fourth be with you! And hey, if you’re expanding into anime, I recommend checking out/reacting to “Unicorn” from Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. It’s an excellent track, and it’s one of many great songs from the Gundam franchise.

Words are always hard for me to formulate. But the best way to describe how I'm feeling is excited. Congratulations on the evolution of your growth, and so stoked to hear your repertoire will be expanded. I'm very excited to be here to see your rebrand. And here's to a successful future for you, Lionmight.

Congrats on the new adventure, friend! ❤

Happy Birthday LionMight! It's nice to meet you! I look forward to next year getting the full experience of the rebranding.

Lionmight merch would go crazy! Especially with that incredible logo 🦁💪

Dang that's a cool name. Looking forward to your future endeavors!

I totally understand your point of view, and I hope your new name can help you to achieve more freedom as a way to even more enjoy your music making. But : Whatever your name is, whatever you are called, your music will always speak for itself. You are a great artist, no matter the name. You have so much passion for your work, and it is without question, that it has great impact on all of your work. Please continue to make great music, not just for us, but for yourself. Music is emotion, energy, life. You have this talent, this blessing, to be able to express yourself through your music. I hope you will continue to enjoy making videos for us, to share with us the love you have for this form of art. I am glad you are not actually retiring, but If ever the day comes, I, as many people, will remember the emotions and joy we felt watching your music videos, and for that, I am grateful. You always seem such a nice, calm person, with a peaceful mind, and I wish you all the best. I watched your videos for years, but I rarely ever comment on Youtube, didnt even had an account. But I want to write this to say thank you. And yes, Diwa de Leon is an awesome Name. Lionmight is a powerful name, also. Looks like its time for a new chapter to write. Looking forward to it. Change can be good, or bad. But Change must happen. In this case, Change does not mean something bad. Its not just Change, its personal Growth, Evolution, in a way. You have overcome your limits, and you break free. Soar to new horizons, explore what the world has to offer! A new adventure awaits. Happy Birthday, my friend. May you live long and in peace.

You are a fantastic person, Diwa, and I'm so happy to see you growing with your brand as you learn more about yourself and where your passions lead you.

Had me worried there for a second, phew. Lionmight goes insanely hard as brand name and even a badass character in a game, but I gotta say, your real name? Good lord. Diwa de Leon. Just saying it out loud makes me think of 80s Pinoy action movie scenes. Ang angas. Ang GWAPO lol. Awesome to see you wanting to expand your horizons. Very excited to see where you go from here. Happy birthday and congrats on the rebrand, Lionmight!

I love this! Happy Birthday!
