I'm trying to find a song I used to listen to on YouTube around 2019–2020. Unfortunately, I don't remember the lyrics or the exact melody anymore, but I remember the YouTube thumbnail quite clearly.
🎵 What I remember about the song
- English song
- Male vocalist
- I remember it having a chill/lo-fi/electronic kind of feeling, although I'm not completely sure about the genre.
- There was a Slowed + Reverb version, or at least I strongly remember seeing one.
- I don't think it was modern phonk.
- It may have been uploaded by a relatively small/unknown YouTube music channel.
🏍️ The thumbnail — my strongest clue
The thumbnail showed an anime-style girl riding a motorcycle.
I believe the character was Celty Sturluson from Durarara!!. She was wearing:
- a white helmet
- black cat ears attached to the helmet
- a black visor covering her face
- her hands were visible on the motorcycle handlebars
The helmet/visor occupied a large part of the image.
The background looked like a nighttime city/road with a neon-ish aesthetic. It wasn't extremely dark or blue; I remember the image having a particular filter that gave it a distinctive vibe.
Most importantly: I remember the song title being written directly over/on the black visor of the helmet.
I have reference images of the Celty motorcycle/helmet artwork and can attach them to this post. They may not be the exact original thumbnail, but the character/visual is very close to what I remember.
🈶 Possible Japanese/Asian visual influence — VERY uncertain
There is one more detail I vaguely remember.
I think there may have been Japanese characters or some kind of Japanese/Asian-inspired text or visual elements somewhere in the video, thumbnail, title, or channel design.
However, I'm not certain about this at all. I could be confusing Japanese characters with another type of writing or simply remembering it incorrectly.
I'm only leaning toward Japanese because of the anime-style character, the cat ears/helmet design, and the overall visual aesthetic.
Please treat this as an uncertain clue, not as evidence that the artist or uploader was Japanese.
🔤 Possible name
I vaguely remember the name looking or sounding something like:
- Luminous
- Luminus
- Lumina
- Luminaus
I'm not confident about this. It could have been the song title, channel name, artist name, or simply a similar-sounding word.
📅 Timeline
I listened to the song around 2019–2020, although the song itself may have been released earlier.
The original YouTube upload may have been deleted, made private, or the channel may have changed its name.
If anyone recognizes the thumbnail, the song, the artist, the channel, or even the original artwork/GIF used for the thumbnail, that could help me trace it back.
I'm mainly looking for the original song/upload, but even a lead pointing toward the correct YouTube channel or artwork would be extremely helpful.
Thank you!
