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.
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.
Again, really, THANK YOU. 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!
same
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!!
Thank you so much First Admiral Heat!
lionmight is actually a sick name imo
lionmight is really a marketing genius move.
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
Also, happy birthday!
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.
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 :)
Thank you so much my friend!
Happy birthday, SPG/Lionmight! Congrats on the rebranding, that's a really cool name! Looking forward to your future works! :D
Thank you! 😄
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.
"You were good, son. Really good. Maybe even the best."

I love this! Happy Birthday!
Thank you Lara!
Happy Birthday LionMight! It's nice to meet you! I look forward to next year getting the full experience of the rebranding.
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 UA-cam, 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.
Lionmight merch would go crazy! Especially with that incredible logo 🦁💪
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.
You're the best Bonnie!
Love what you do, Diwa! Great to see where you're taking your music, good luck!!
Thank you so much!!
Dang that's a cool name.
Looking forward to your future endeavors!
All the best for this new path :)
It‘s always cool to see someone having the willpower to change and break out of his own bubble.
I‘m excited for the new content :D
Congrats on the new adventure, friend! ❤
Thank you! 🤗
happy birthday Diwa!!!! Excited for this new direction, congrats!!!!
Much respect! Glad to see you continuing to follow your heart and making music that is true to you without limits.
I have found your channel because of Calamity OST reviews, but I realized I really enjoy your videostyle. Good luck forwards, the new name sounds really cool, especially knowing the meaning behind it😁🥳
I originally joined bc of the totk trailer reaction video. But I also love your style and take and talent!!
this seems like an amazing step forward for the channel, and your career as a whole! i can't wait to see what you, lion night, have to offer in the future
Thank you so much!
QUE BUEN NOMBRE BROOOOO, seriously it rocks beyond belief. Beautiful poetic translation, too! Best of luck on everything!
Thank you!
I never saw this change coming, but it has my warm welcome! Also happy birthday and May the 4th be with you!
No matter your channel name I will follow you on your UA-cam journey until it’s done; happy birthday Lionmight. 😊
Also I was literally humming roar of the jungle dragon before you announced it that’s so funny.
Oh my goodness! You made me panic for a second! 😅
I'm so excited for you and what you do next! I'm so proud of how far you've grown and evolved.
I hope you have an amazing birthday, Diwa! Hope your day is as awesome as you are! And may the 4th be with you!
I love your work and I'm glad to see you're still growing. Can't wait to see whats next!
If you are no longer limited to specific types of music. That means we may get a look some anime osts. Personally I’m hoping for one piece.
Woah that’s a change I didn’t see coming!
Thank you for all the great content throughout the years Diwa de Leon, and I’ll stick around whichever name you change to 😄
Happy birthday!
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!
Thank you! And yes, I agree, my real name sounds amazing, but in the Philippines. It's a different ballgame in the international arena.
happy late birthday! looking forward to the new direction this all goes in, and you have such interesting history too.
Thank you!
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial no problem! I'm glad to see everyone else around giving you support as well, I think you really deserve it.
Truthfully, you have been my greatest inspiration in the world of music. I follow and watch each of your videos to take notes about music, and you are a great mentor. I truly hope that each of your goals and dreams comes true. With much affection, I send you a hug.
Wow, thank you!
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial Please keep it up, you've undoubtedly become one of my favorite music UA-camrs.
Glad to hear that the music isn't going away! Been a fan for years and looking forward to more. BTW a Ghibli inspired album sounds like it would be incredible
I literally only just discovered your channel and subscribed so I got worried for a moment there lmao.
Excited to see what you bring in the future!
Love the Rebrand Man, funny you used LionMight on games along time ago haha, Good luck and wishing you the best of following your music dreams ♥🎶
I'm happy about this growth for you. Many UA-cam content creators end up boxing themselves up like this, and either fade into obscurity, or make an outrageous change that upsets their community. I'm glad that you're making a leveled, well thought-out goal for yourself to expand further, while keeping the roots you laid here healthy. One question though.
Can we call you "The Artist Formerly Known as String Player Gamer"?
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Can we call you "The Artist Formerly Known as String Player Gamer"? Absolutely, some of my friends have joked around with this as well.
Sorry for this late message. Happy birthday to you with wishes for a lot of good, and strength, fortune and joy where you can find, make and share it in times good and bad and in-between alike. Not just for the channel but in general, outside of the camera and the screen.
Curious for the future. Take care as well as a cookie when nobody is looking.
LIONMIGHT would also be a excellent name for a record label🙂
It already is. It's both.
Since tabs are now open, i recommend listening to jujutsu kaisen music, since its a mix of many genres. Happy rebranding.
Congrats on your rebranding.
Can't wait to see whats to come up next. 👍👍
Brooo you really got me worried for a good minute there!!! 😂
More genre of music to react with you. I may not be a musician, but I do enjoy music soundtrack. And to know I can understand a bit more on "why" I like music~
Happy birthday you legend, and congratulations on the new direction!!
Congratulations and happy birthday! So happy for you, Lionmight!
Happy Birthday, Diwa "SPG/Lionmight" de Leon! ^_^
After supporting you for how long, 12 years? This will take some time getting used to, yet it makes so much sense for your future!
Super excited to see what more you'll bring to the table! I'm incredibly proud of you Diwa. Happy birthday friend and May the 4th be with you 🥳❤️
I appreciate that! Thank you so much Sorah!
🎉 This is AWESOME SPG! It sounds SO cool, re branding hypeee🎉 i'm so happy for you and so proud 😭💚 I wish You all the Best, enjoy this new stage! And Feliz cumpleaños amigo! 🎂🎈
Thank you so much Tay!!
You're looking great for 44 years man
keep up the awesome work, I've binged all your vids and I love your musical insight
Rock on!
Lionmight, that's a cool name and love the new logo as well! Can't wait to hear your movie and anime covers!
Happy birthday! I'm excited for you in this new evolution! I hope all goes smoothly. Looking forward to what you come up with next! 😁
Happy birthday!
I'm not sure if you've heard of the game called Furi but I'd love to see your reaction to that soundtrack
Happy birthday, and congrats!! 🥳 Such exciting news for you, and it was really great to hear your story as a musician and the meaning behind your name. Wishing you all the best as Lionmight! ✨️
Thank you so much!!
Good luck on your venture, lad. Hope you'll get the recognition you deserve
Much appreciated!
Congrats on your birthday and rebranding! I think that is the right choice and i definitely will watch and support upcoming videos, anime soundtrack is a massive hole of unexpected combinations and masterpieces, so ill give you just one for now, tho, i didnt really get, are you rebranding on 1 jan 2025 but you start reacting to anime and other stuff from now, or from when you rebrand completely? Anyways i will also fill the suggestion forms for this one, and that is Made in Abyss OST "Hanezeve Caradhina" by Kevin Pekin. Good luck my man!
Thank you! I will be doing everything step by step, one step at a time. But I won't be as strict now.
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial Thats nice! Will be waiting for the next upload!
I’m so happy for you man!! I’ve been a longtime subscriber and it’s crazy to see how much your channel has grown and I’m proud of your accomplishments. I’ve loved your old content and even your new content with OST analysis has kept me hooked. Here’s to a new chapter Diwa, welcome to the scene Lionmight!
sky's the limit my good Sir I'm also excited what the future will hold for this channel Congrats and may the Lion Might be with you hehe...
Congratulations on this, I'm really excited to see what the Loin might do
An early pun over here, we're off to a great start!
I'm so used to calling you "SPG" on the rare occasions I come out of lurkerville to comment, but in truth I love your name Diwa. I am a writer and I love word etymologies as well learning as the original, literal meanings of names (like how "Bert" originally meant "bright"). Many years ago-seven years, in fact!-when I saw your real name I looked it up and fell for "Diwa" right away-so much that, since it's a popular enough name (in some places), I gave it to the protagonist of a book of mine. (Just your first name, not your whole name, lol. Not trying to be creepy.) It's a small homage to my enjoyment of your music, but also as you say it's just a really poetic name.
Anyway, congratulations on the rebrand. I like "Lionmight." It makes me think of artistically-named bands and artists like Illapu, where the name is immediately evocative and very easy to associate with the musical style and the onstage presence of the performer(s). I've been happy to see you do well for yourself in the art world, which is very difficult to break into / earn a living in, and to see you succeed well enough to be able to come to the US with your family and pursue your passions with a larger audience. While the "music producer reacts" content isn't my jam, UA-cam still shows me your original / cover music too and I still check it out when I can, and I am excited to see what "Lionmight" will bring us in the future! I'm gonna have to reset my head though to get used to thinking of you as "Lionmight" instead of "SPG." (Though I appreciate you giving us the option to call you either!)
Thank you so much Josh! Glad to know that my name's origin inspired your writing.
I totally understand not resonating with the newer video formats, but I'm happy to hear that my covers and originals are still reaching you. You'll be glad to know that I am actually doubling down on covers and especially originals with a new fantasy metal album being worked on full of my original compositions.
The reaction videos are actually earning good revenue that it's allowing me to fund my passion projects even if they are more behind the scenes now from a UA-cam content standpoint.
I'm about to be testing a newer format that takes advantage of reaction video's visibility and injecting covers and/or originals within the video for more reach. It will be tested soon.
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial I am looking forward to seeing your music continue to evolve, covers and originals alike. (Original work is where the heart lies, for most artists, and truth be told I don't play many games these days (too busy), so most of your covers are new to me anyway.) And I am happy your reaction content is making money-as an artist myself I completely understand that you have to pay the bills and take care of your family.
Well done Sir Diwa! Love the update, I'm excited to see this evolution. Maligayang bati sa inyong kaarawan at bagong artist name! 🎉🎂🎁
I'm so happy for you! I'll keep tagging along for sure. I'm excited to see studio Ghibli stuff!!! And other stuff! What!!!
❤
Thank you!
Congratulations on your rebrand! excited for the future
I randomly stumbled upon your Mini Mario Orchestras & acapellas of Final Fantasy songs a decade ago! Been a fan of your styles ever since.
I will still think of you as SPG, but Congratulations on the rebrand, and all the best for your career 🙏
Ah, a rebrand! Looking forward to seeing what the future holds!
I get that, fully, I stand by your rebrand and your decision to move on from purely gaming, It's definitely the best choice, and I'm all here for it.
You really think you have enough until you realize the flaws it brings you.
Totally agree! Thank you so much!
@@StringPlayerGamerOfficial You're welcome man! (づ-ᴗ-)づ
I've been a fan for about 15 years-excited for you and looking forward to what you create as Lionmight!
Will you still be continuing with any of your collab projects like Scarlet & Violet and Axe & Ale?
Thank you! And yes, all those collabs are gonna be bigger than ever.
Good for you for doing what’s best for your brand and passions! The name is absolutely rad, and I’m excited to see where you take the channel.
You're one of the most genuine people I've seen on the platform so I'm glad you're making it feel like home.♡
Thank you for the kind words!
i like the new brand name lion might i hope it go great for you
So happy for you, Lionmight! I love the explanation of your name ❤
Omg I would soooo love breakdowns of LOTR music! D:
RIGHT!?!?!
I appreciate the dead serious lightsaber followed by casual chit chat.
Darth Vader ignites saber (pauses) "...lovely weather today huh?"
Love the new name and the plans you have :). Keep being awesome:)
Thanks so much Jerry!!

Looking forward to the future!
Awesome! Love the rebranding. Happy Birthday Diwa and May the 44th be with you! ❤🎉
You should check out Sky Children Of The Light's OST, it's a beautiful soundtrack, my favorites are aviary village and vault of knowledge
i have never commented on one if your videos before but have been an avid watcher for years. Im passionate about all kinds of music, and Im so excited about the rebrand and expanding your horizons. ive been a fan for a long time and i look forward to continuing being a fan for years to come.

I wish you the best! Cool new name! Sorry for the late message
Happy birthday man, you got a cool name
Always strive higher!
I was almost heartbroken. I can't wait to see everything you cook next and I'll bombard you with suggestions because I live and breathe music. I will absolutely be along for the ride.
Happy Birthday and Congratulations! Can't wait what you have in store for future content
Wow, love your philosophy! Looking forward for more of your releases and videos:)
Thanks so much!
Edit: Happy Birthday!
I was so close with Bard Lionheart. I've already got the track on Bandcamp like I said.
happy birthday and congrats on the rebrand!
Happy Birthday!!! I'm looking forward to the additional content! I can't say I'm surprised or disappointed to hear that video game music will still be tops for you. Once a VGM lover, always a VGM lover!! 😂 May this new journey be epic, surprising and fulfilling for you! ♥
You and me both! Thank you!
Great discussion on this, Diwa! I can relate on benefitting from a neutral-sounding artist/brand name! Mine has stuck around for more than a decade as I went through different phases!
Happy Birthday!
Lionmight is an awesome name. Wish you the best in your new musical journey ahead!
Love the name, love the song, so incredibly excited for you!!!
Looking forward to what this next chapter of your lfe has in store!
I forgot to say happy birthday on my newly sent content suggestion lol.
Happy Birthday!
LIONMIGHT HYPE!! I love the new name and I can't wait to see the new amazing creations this new phase will bring! Happy birthday, Diwa 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎂🎂🎂🎂🦁🦁🦁🦁💪💪💪💪
Thank you so much Firabelle!!! 🔥🦁🤟😎🫂
