I liked the video because of the parking lot. I'm a parking space enthusiast, and I've got to say it. This is one of the most inspiring slabs of asphalt I've seen in all my years wandering this planet. You sir have reignited the dying flame that is my love for parking spaces. Bravo sir, bravo.
2:57 he has already done this with his masked figure "tobi" (his inner thoughts he is trying to fight) and his maskless which is him. tobi is referenced in multiple songs.
Surprised I haven’t heard about this considering the research I’ve done before. Either way, a similar but fresh spin on it with the visuals could be cool.
I think the best approach would be the smooth transition with different characters. He already has some lore that already has these different characters.
I was pretty worried that without the mask he wouldn’t be able to convey the same energy in his performances & promotional videos, but I’m glad so far he isn’t taking the “Dream” option and instead following a similar approach you suggested for being faceless
Also going through the comments, when it comes to the “Tobi” lore there’s videos on BoyWithUke’s channel explaining the origins. I’ve also made some deep dive videos into the lore to breakdown the information
I wonder if part of the reason BoyWithUke showed his face was to tap into an Asian audience. It's no brainer that Asia is exploding with massive amounts of fandoms, and they're insanely loyal to Asian artists (think about the millions of fans 88Rising artists have). Universal Music Korea posted a short from the Seoul Jazz Fest where Uke reveals he was born in South Korea and starts speaking Korean -- the crowd cheers and the comments of the video are mainly Koreans saying how awesome it is that Uke is Korean like them. Also, there's not much Asian representation in the Western music industry aside from K-pop, so maybe Uke wants to inspire a young Asian artist to take alternative paths in life. Idk, just a thought I haven't seen anyone else point out
I definitely think it’s refreshing to have some Asian representation. Capitalizing on the Asian super fans is not something I considered but I guess it could be a factor. At the end of the day I hope all goes well because he seems like a cool dude.
BoyWithUke never wanted the mask to be his symbol. He only used it so people wouldn’t find out who he was and while part of it does reflect his personality, one of the reasons he even had the mask in the first place was so people would focus on the music and not his face. However that exact same thing happened with the mask, some people thought that’s the only thing making him “special” in the industry which is obviously not the case. So now he wants to show that, with or without the mask, he is still BoyWithUke, still makes great music and can still grow.

Glad I could do that for you
Damn ur right thats a nice parking lot

For the Uke fans
I feel like I want uke to mostly use mask but stil, have his face out there
Abandoning the mask is just too risky
he does NOT look at migraine geniusinterview
He said the mask was smelly
@SushiWithUke I forgot about that but the searches were just a joke anyway lmao
The smooth transition makes sense especially with the lore of Tobi but he's said that he's tired of playing a character
I am not at all familiar with tobi, this is a uke character?
@@MattMiranda Tobi is the voice in bwu's head, manifested as the mask itself. Watch his BoyWithUke Origins series on his youtube channel it'll help
Did someone say LORE?
@@BoyWithUkeLIVEtoo, bwu live? Where's the next theory vid?
his genius interview shows that he HATES the mask for migraine, i think hes gonna abandon it
That would make sense, maybe still a fair amount though
Boywithuke said that the mask has been hurting him mentally so he will probably just go mask off completely.
That’s tough, in that case it might be worth any potential hit to his career.
2:55 that was really really smooth
Lmao, thank you
I think the best approach would be the smooth transition with different characters. He already has some lore that already has these different characters.
yeah, I think it's generally great if they do it right, I guess he is not interested
can you do story about Ollie MN?😊
anything is possible
You could've got a lot more info if you watched his genius interview.
Which one? I’ve definitely seen atleast 1 before but maybe I forgot everything
There are 3 genius interviews so far and also he has done a lot of interviews.
I SENT HIM YOUR VIDEO HE KNOW"S DAM BRO LOL
Wouldn’t necessarily be surprised, worth mentioning that my videos aren’t supposed to be more than a random guys advice/thoughts and entertainment
I was pretty worried that without the mask he wouldn’t be able to convey the same energy in his performances & promotional videos, but I’m glad so far he isn’t taking the “Dream” option and instead following a similar approach you suggested for being faceless

I think he did well for the most part
Im going to his concert
You're just lucky bro
how was it?
Its better to keep the mask, everything involved the mask
I mean yeah, but there’s also the dude behind it who had his reasons. For branding tho, ideally you keep it

Idk if he will ever put the mask on again. I just hope that doesn't ruin his career.
I am with you

I wouldn’t sleep on the influence of the mask but fair enough
I want ukey to tour in colorado
He will get around to it
@boywithuke do what this man tells you. and i like your vids. uke's and matt's. see ya
Lmao I appreciate you
I DID SENT HIM YOUR VIDEO I THINK HE"S KNOW ABOUT U
It’s a possibility
He just face revealed on genius
he abandoned it
Am I the only one who did not want boywithuke to do a face reveal 😭
On my last video a few people agreed
Ii am with u
He is going for the mask off sadly
Did he say anything or is this just a feeling you’ve got?
He said it in his live stream that he is not sure if he will ever put the mask back on
honestly wish he didint do a face reveal
Doesn’t really make a difference imo, but I would still like to see the mask around
