'''Yang Watanabe''' (born July 9, 1993) is a Mexican [[furry artist]], music producer, actor, drummer and keyboardist for ''Xygen'' and writer.

== Musical style ==
Watanabe's musical style is based on the styles of many artists, such as [[w:Moby|Moby]], one of the various musicians who inspired him to start with his musical career; [[w:Pendulum (band)|Pendulum]], [[w:Junkie XL|Junkie XL]] and more.

== M37H0D ==
[[File:Growin_up.jpg | 150px | thumb | right | Album front artwork of ''"Growin' Up"'']] The first Watanabe's musical act was named "M37H0D", an ambient and minimalist project. There's only one rare demo that was produced as M37H0D, ''"Growin' Up''. One of the songs featured there, was dedicated to one of the Yang's friends [[TaniDaReal]], named ''"Growin' Up/Ashati"'', in the memory of the Tani's pet, Ashati. Recently, Yang confirmed on his Twitter feed, that ''"Growin' Up/Ashati"'' will feature on his second album, but under the name of ''"Ashati"''.
The album "Growin' Up" was fully produced and mixed over the [[DAW]] FL Studio.

== As "Xygen" ==
After the ups and downs that "M7D" had the last months, Yang decided to change the things a little bit more, one of these changes, hailed again upon the name, as revealed by Yang Watanabe's [[Twitter]] feed during May.
The cover for this album, was revealed for the public on May 22nd on his [http://twitter.com/yang_watanabe Twitter] feed and the album was officially released on May 31st.

==[[Infinity (album) |Infinity]]==

'''''Infinity''''' was a Xygen album to be released on August 5th, following the same style of 'Crux' from ''Codex''. Also features a brand new way to produce music. The official tracklist, album title and release day was announced via his Twitter feed and his Fur Affinity journal on July 15th. This album couldn't see the light due to some issues with production and post production. Recently, Yang announced on his Twitter feed that "Infinity" will never see the light because the tracks were deleted in a system crash.

==As himself==
On mid 2010, Yang starts a solo project which consists in production for his own tracks and a exclusive recording label called '''CDragon Records'''. With this stage name, Yang has made a few covers from artists like '''Owl City''', '''Carpenters''' and '''Pendulum''', and a few remixes from '''Nine Inch Nails''' and his fellow [[Dragonpurr]]. Also, he has collaborated with [[Dyle of Fire]] on the track '''Leather Apron''' and mastered his album '''Electricity... Tears'''.
In late-february of this year, Yang announces that his first album as solo, '''Hospitality''', has been finished, to be released in April 24th.
Also, a bit of a new verson of '''Dark Roads''' appears in the first minute of the minimix for '''Hospitality'''.
==Unser Kampf==
In 2011, Yang decided to take a break from music and dedicate some time to a project he had since 2009: a webcomic. In mid-May, Yang published his comic called "Unser Kampf" (Our Fight), but due to lack of readers, he decided to cancel it.
===== Plot =====
The story, as far as it goes, is about 5 classmates who go to as the first players of Dr. Zitko's new product: '''Unser Kampf: The Videogame''', which takes the virtual reality to another level, in which the goal is to kill [[Adolf Hitler]] and stop the [[World War II]].
===== The book =====
In June 29th, Yang published via Twitter that "Unser Kampf" will be adapted as a book, this by trying to find some writers to make a foreword for the book; ''"I'm such a bludger when I need to write a foreword, you know?"'', he said.
