Masayoshi Ōishi edit

  • ... that the song "Yōkoso Japari Park e", which was written by Masayoshi Ōishi, topped Amazon Japan's soundtrack ranking and ranked third in the country's iTunes song chart? Source: [1] (English language source), [2] (大石ありました(笑)。まとめサイトでも、僕のtwitter上の発言がピックアップされていたんですけど……。僕自身もヒットに嬉しい驚きを覚えながらも、7位や6位の頃は「これはネタになるな」と思いちょっと煽る感じでツイートしていたんですよ。でも、5位になった辺りから「えっ、5位ってマジ!? ここまで上がるの!?」となり、3位を記録したときには下手な煽りは出来ないと思うようになりましたからね(笑)。)
    • ALT1:... that the song "Yōkoso Japari Park e", which was written by Masayoshi Ōishi, was viewed over one million times over the span of two weeks on the Japanese video-sharing site Niconico? Source: [3] (大石勝手にアップさせていただきました(笑)。もちろん、自分も公式の立場の人間ですから、事前に「アップしますよ」とアニメの音楽チームに声はかけました。僕としては、ニコ動というメディアの特性として、「みなさんに面白おかしく二次創作していただき、この楽曲やアニメの裾野が広がったらいいな」という意識でアップしたんですけど。まさかの、二週間で115万再生回数を突破。過去のニコ動の中でもミリオンに達した記録的な速さじゃないか!? とまで言われてますからね。)
    • ALT2:... that in 2017, Japanese singer-songwriter Masayoshi Ōishi covered the song "Yōkoso Japari Park e", which he originally wrote for the 2016 anime series Kemono Friends?

  • Comment: Open to other hook suggestions if I can find more sources about his life and career. I might also write an article for "Yōkoso Japari Park e" and add it to the article if I can find more sources about it, considering the song was extremely popular in Japan.

  • Article seems ready, WP:QPQ does not seem to be an issue. Good faith on the foreign-language source, the English-language sources seems to be more of a fan site for anime than anything else. All the hooks work fine in my opinion. The only slight issue I can see is that there is no image, but that should not prevent the article from making it to DYK, so all in all looks good to go.
