It's crazy to think how much time has passed by. Some of us 'kids' grew up with this journey alongside KMR. Most of us grew up to still be 'kids' with bigger toys. Looking forward to seeing what's next in this chapter for you. Forever kids at heart.

I freakin' love you guys =*( the love in the comments is unreal and im too emotional to be reading this sh*t in public hahaha EDIT: If I am ever feeling burnt out, or stressed I will come back to this video to remind myself there's importance in failures, just gotta keep fighting through whatever hardships you're facing, and you'll ultimately become a super version of yourself. Just try and try again & again until people pay you for your services because you've become too damn good.

Failure is the way to improve in life. Remember that bro!

8 years i was a broke highschool grad with absolutely 0 direction in life. All i knew was u made me want to be more creative, add my own flavor to things esp cars, and for going with the flow. Today, im in my own apartment with my fully paid off FRS sitting in my drive way (never had a drive way before). I attribute this small success, and my love for the car to you and TJ Hunt. Thank you for the motivation when i needed it the most, thank u for inspiring me to get my friends into cars and having a small part of my life reflect what ur experiences with cars reflected. I do not regret watching all 8 years of content, and thank u for always being my inspiration. I wish u luck on whatever u do next

Right in the feels… I remember finding a vid on wrapping your frs dash in 2015. Little did I know this would kickstart a love of modifying cars and jdm culture. A bunch of cars later, I owe you man. Thank you for kmr, for lost royalty, all the dope content and for everything to come. Can’t wait to see the new direction this channel takes!

Man the nostalgia hits like a mf takes me back to when i was like 13 and im 26 now! You were the reason i got my brz. Your work ethic is unmatched and is and always will be inspiring!! Keep inspiring others birdy and be you brotha❤ much love from Minnesota

Should’ve made a new channel to preserve the KingsMustRise name

I get the idea of making a new channel and trying to preserve the KMR name but he’s trying to move away from that and starting a new branding with “Badbata” and solidifying it instead of having that option of going back to the old brand. It’s kinda going against the starting new thing or ending of the KMR era.

@@neptriliumcypher7600 well renaming the channel doesn’t that kinda go against the idea too cause he still keeping all that he’s built with KMR, just with a different name over it

Damn brother, what a ride it has been. You've summed up our past years together so well and watching this video made me relive all those highs and lows; from the scorching hot 20+hr drives in the summers to the fiberglass filled air from cutting and installing the widebodies; I wouldn't trade those experiences for any other because they are part of what made me who I am and I was able to build our amazing friendship through that. I appreciate all you've created and put forth in the time that I've known you and you know even if we ain't always around each other, I'm always a phone call away ready to help or jump into the next crazy thing you can think of! Thanks for being the great creator and the story teller. The end of one is the start of another, See you soon!

I found out about birdy and kmr while I was in school, your passion for creativity and fun is what drew me in and got me into cars and a love for drawing, kmr is ending but a new journey begins and I can’t wait to see, I hope the videos continue in whatever direction you go

Let me tell you something bro. First of all, Thank You. Thank you for everything. Secondly, I found your channel in 2015 which just so happened to be the year I moved out of my moms house into a world I could call my own. I vividly remember binging your videos without even knowing why. I just knew it felt right. At the same time, I too was in pursuit of something. Every since I can remember, KZread was what I wanted to do. I guess we both shared a similar passion in creating. I fumbled along that journey for a year before I saw my any real progress. One day I posted one video on my channel. Just one video, and it changed everything. Before that one video, I posted vlogs but for some reason this one was different. I now understand why. That one video had something in it that none of my previous videos had. That thing is my personality. Before hand, I would just post what I thought ppl wanted to see but it began to feel inauthentic. But I kept pushing. Eventually an opportunity presented itself without me even seeing it, yet my instincts reacted to it. Son Goku. It was the episode where Goku first turned Ultra Instinct and I had to watch it. I don't know why but for some reason, I recorded myself watching it. I edited the video and posted it the next day thinking noting of it. That morning, I woke up to a frenzy of notifications. All from youtube. I checked my channel to find that the video had gone viral. I didn't try to do it, or plan it, it just happened. I say this to say, Sometimes you just have to go with the flow bro. Not one of us knows what we're doing in this life. We only know what feels right and what doesn't. We make mistake along the way but if you're strong, you're rewarded for your resilience with EXP points. Which you can trade in for better armor and weapons, which will ultimately help your journey go a bit smoother. Never!! Stand down from any challenge bro. Look adversity in the face the same way Luffy, Goku, All Might, or Your parents would. And you say, Phuck You, you're in my way. Thank you KMR for showing me that i'm not alone 💪🏾 Also. You should Create a new channel instead of rebranding. The algorithm will work against you if you just rebrand. Leave this journey behind so that you can step into a new one. Create a new channel and let your journey begin.

While I admit I haven't watched as much in the past few years as I once did, I'm looking forward to where life takes you next. I've been watching you since I was 14-15 years old and I'm now 21. Your car content is what started getting me into cars more at that age, and lead me to finding the car modding / enthusiast side of KZread. Thank you!

I still remember years ago when i discovered KMR and the time spent watching you learn and grow, I'll always be behind you no matter the path you take. Big ups

beautiful video, as sad as it is to see kmr go, im glad your moving in the direction you want in life as well as inspiring myself to take a leap of faith in my own. much respect🙏

Man it’s pretty crazy to me that you’ve been doing this for so long. You’ve inspired tons of people and done so much and honestly I think this rebranding is a great idea and I’ll try to be here to support your brand as much as I can. Thanks for all the videos and stuff under Kings Must Rise and here’s to the launch of Bad Bata

Thank you for sharing your journey, Birdy! Your videos served as an inspiration for my own life. They also really helped during the months when I brought my first puppy home, and she grew to become a fan of your channel as well. (And of cars!) The both of us will continue being fans and supporters, no matter what the next journey is for you.

Watched this channel since the start Birdy, always loved the vibes and the groups you surrounded yourself with and the visions you had. I'm kinda going through the same shit recently and it sucks to realize, but shit happens for a reason and we keep it moving. Can't wait to watch whats next for you on the Going Sunny! Best of luck my friend!

Been following you off and on since your Asian hair tutorials during high school lol. Huge respect to you for embracing you creative itch in life and not compromising even though life brings struggles in seasons. God bless you in your new journey and maturity through your raw experience this past decade. Life goes on and we live the life we're given 🤙

My brother Birdy, I hadnt realized how long ive been following you my g! Now I legit feel like i went to college with you. You helped me find myself in very confusing times in my life and shape who I am today by starting your KMR journey. Watching you learn, do the thing every day, be creative, drawing, driving, everything, became more than just me watching some dude on youtube. You always made me think beyond and go beyond my limits and i know you made many people feel the same. Im super happy youre able to evolve and shift your energies to focus on your joy! I'll follow you to the ends of the Earth, so keep creating, keep being you, and keep chasing your passion & goals! Im super proud of you and cant wait to see what you do and how you evolve brother! Love you B! 👺👺👺

Seeing some of these videos in the montage really gets you in the feels. Remember watching your vids getting inspired to create my own brand and do what im passionate about, just like how you showcased your passion to us all. Takes true strength to end something but to also take everything youve learnt to start something new. Look forward to seeing what BadBata brings, hope to see those OG style videos again. Good luck with your journey Birdy, stay passionate and inspired 👏🏽

Been a subscriber since 2015, and man what a journey it has been dude. You definitely inspired so many of us car enthusiasts/creatives over these last 8 years!! I remember during my college days, watching your vlogs as "good vibes" content during my rough days, and looked forward towards making my own memories just like yours. I loved watching you, Derpy FRS, and Reggie's FRS builds over the years, and always said to myself I'd make my own brand. Years later, it finally came into fruition, and I'm now slowly making headway with it! (it's called Shuto Night.) KMR helped grow many of us car enthusiasts in the mid to late 2010s man. Nobody does it like you! So thank you Birdy, for all of the amazing content you've made with KMR. You are truly one of the greats on here, and I look forward towards your next endeavor man! Bad Bata is an awesome name for a rebrand, and I sure as heck will follow you throughout this new chapter!!

Like many others I'm getting emtional seeing the montages in the vids man wow. Got my '13 FRS (hot lava) in 2016, found your vids on wrapping the interior as I was doing the same to mine. Your channel was such a positive force for me at the time. I did not have any car enthusiast friends and your channel really captured and shared that car enthusiast lifestyle with your friends. In a way you were a friend to many of us. Your innocent and non-judgemental approach to being a car guy shared an example many could learn from. Its great that you are chasing those feelings of the fun of the journey. As we get older I think we realize nothing else really is that rewarding. Glad I found your channel and was able to follow along these years. Thank you man much love.

I didn’t expect to get so emotional over this, man! 🥺 Feeling really proud and lucky to be a day 1. Thank you for sharing the journey of KMR with us. It’s been an incredible one! Can’t wait for Bad Bata next 🥹💚

Love the new fresh perspectives and directions! Enjoy the journey and be you through it all.

The KZread algorithm led me back here and it’s crazy how much you’ve grown, I remember watching your videos as a kid I’m now 23 with a family and the nostalgia feels good I hope your doing well as an individual and appreciate the stuff you’ve always pursued I hope your journey brings you even more Happiness and Success.

I’m glad to see you back making vids, I have also struggled to find something that gives you the most peace. I will always be in your corner love the vids and will always watch 👍

I watched the channel since before kmr on my old yt acc. You have literally been my favorite person in existence. Your videos helped me through some of the hardest times in my life. Your name has never been what I was connected to. Its always been you and your real content. Nothing manufactured, nothing for views. Everything for personality. Everything for life. And I appreciate you and everything you did. And i look forward to everything you do and will do in the future. You are doing great birdy. You really are.

Thank you for all the fun and shares. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for being with me when I am battling my depressions and anxiety. Watching you shares and build your cars really calm me down. I hope all the best for you. I hope everything is fine. I wish i stay near to your place so that i can buy all your merch.

Thank you for the countless years of inspiration and content‼️ Can't wait to see what the new chapter has to unfold💪🏾

Been a follower ever since you had those hair tutorials back in 2010. Will still continue to watch throughout your journeys! Sad to see it close but cheers to a new chapter!

this video was so inspiring thank you so much for everthing you coming back is hype af BADBATA is going to be epic super hyped to see the future of this channel and i mean this re branding is perfect im excited cant wait to see more

Thank you for making this video Birdy. I don’t think I’ve ever commented before on your videos.. but it’s crazy, watching your videos for years and watching this almost felt like the end of the best series I’ve ever invested my time on. Thanks for all the great memories, I’ll gladly stand by and continue to support you man!

KMR Just Evolved! Its A BADBATA!!! Much Respect

Thank you Birdy for taking us on this journey. It was a fun ride and i definitely got motivated along the way by all the creativity. I will always be a supporter in whatever direction you go in and I'm excited to see what's next👌🏽😁

you are a goat

Had the pleasure of meeting you at Driven in Toronto years back. Your videos inspired me when I was 16 and had my first car. I wish you nothing but the best on this new journey!

Thanks for the good times. I got many a compliments from your stickers on my car lol. I've watched from the beginning, and I can't wait to see what's next! Your re-inspiring me all over again to get to it!

weather you make hair tutorials or car videos, i'll always support you 😂😂 I'm so glad I've been here since the beginning and now you're starting a whole new chapter!!! The journey never ends! Over the years you're projects changed but something I admire is your dedication never did. Always inspiring!!! Cant wait to see BadBata Grow!!

this vid brought me tears bro. i watched your stuff since the beginning and i always felt like you where a homie to me even though you may not know me. people get burnt out and its only a matter of time that great things come to an end. thank you birdy for showing us all what you can do as an artist showing your passion and living your best life. i still rep the lost royalty cap to this day as its one of my favorites.

I've been subbed since like 2017 but haven't really kept up with your videos since 2020, so stoked to see what you've created and what you are currently building up!

Thanks for everything so far Birdy and I'm sure this is the start of something special! Lots of memories in this vid, my favourite I think was the Hawaii trip - that was so epic!

God this made me so emotional 😢❤ I watched this whole journey and loved every bit of it as I’m sure everyone else that’s apart of this channel did ! Your creativity for this whole brand and car scene is what made me fall in love with cars! Can’t wait to see what this new journey brings, forever will be a supporter 💯🤞

Birdy your one of the most creative people I've seen. Everything from your art, to apparel, to car builds. The amount of effort and detail that went into every project was incredible. Times change, people change, but what you create lives on.

Love KMR and won’t be forgotten! Inspiring so many especially me! We all here for the new adventure

Your channel along with Lowcals were few of my favs during 2015-16 and introduced me to the Canadian car scene, always felt you are so down to earth and just really enjoyed the content overall! Will be sad to see kmr go but good luck with the next chapter!

I remember when you first started KMR and your FRS was black with the white wheels and wing. I thought it was so cool and inspired me to get one myself. I really liked your take on car modification, it was different and original from everyone else. I still have one of your old one piece sweaters and a couple stickers from back then. It's so cool to see someone grow like you have on KZread. Take care and good luck ✌️

Dude this is so crazy! I remember watching your channel in highschool when I 16. I’m 23 now. When I was kid all I wanted to do was get involved in cars. Life happened and I fell away from it and then when I was 22 I got back into cars and have been building my ride ever since and becoming a part of the community. This video popped up on my feed today and I was like, “why do I recognize this guy”. Then I realized who you were! Life is a journey man. It’s such an inspiration to see you still doing this and starting something that will make you happy!

been here since your hair tutorials and art videos. amazing to grow up with your channel and witness your growth. keep going!

thank god i was able to cop alot of merch now its all gonna be good memories,doesn’t matter what u do birdie i will always do my best to support u , lots of love from chicago✌🏻

Been here since you first bought the frs, you've been consistently my most watched channel. You've been so inspiring towards my outlook on life and I appreciate that so much. Once again glad to see you've grown even more and I look forward to this upgrade.

Duuude! This is exciting! Sad, but I'm excited to see what else you come up with! I've been watching since your hair videos. You continue to inspire me and remind me that I can do more and that it's ok to have multiple interests!

It's been such a crazy journey, I have been so absent from this community for a long time, I remember popping by the shop ages ago. I told you I'd make you a shirt, and I never did. Life got super turbulent but I was inspired to make a brand of my own. My brand had sustained me in some of the toughest times, I've also had to rebrand, lost friends, made a lot more. Honestly I don't think I would be where I am, with what I have if it weren't, at least in a small part, for you. Thank you so much for being a massive inspiration to so many individuals. Even if I don't tune in, I wish you all the best. 💕

Your honestly the reason I got a FRS today. Initial D played a big part but u actually made me pull the trigger. Love you bro

The ending montage hit me right in the feels bro. Looking forward to seeing new content. Wishing you good luck on your future endeavors.

I'm not going to lie.... I'm heartbroken 💔... seeing everything you have achieved was so amazing and glorious! I for one understand getting lost and having to find yourself again, it's the process of growth, but for me to see this change is hard. Following you for as long as I have I feel one with the content you have put out and the vibe. All i ask is that this new chapter have some of the essence of the old chapter. Kings will always rise! .... and I will be here to continue to support you Birdie in your new vision... just with a tear in my eye. Much love Brotha!

Dang this hits me, I remember watching your channel since you first had your FRS. You were part of the reason and inspiration why I began modifying my tC. From your builds I got inspiration and built mine using my own creativity. What I also really enjoyed watching your channel is that you are a Scion/Toyota lover just like me and I loved watching all of your content. I loved all the vlogs of you and your friends, your build processes, and clips of all the shows you went to especially. Since I began building my car, I got really excited how after many years of the process, I ended up being in shows just as how you did with your cars. You were def one of my top favorite car channels up there but I’m really excited and looking forward to see what you have in store with your new channel and the direction you’re going to take it Birdy🤙

I remember you going around on ur first events, all ur long trips. Its crazy that I was a young boy from Sweden watching ur content. Also pumped and glad that u have been reborned once again! :D Looking forward for ur next chapter in life :) Hugs from sweden!

Inspired by your journey as I've watched your channel throughout the years! Excited to see what is to come!

Bro...sending you nothing but positive blessings to your new endeavors Bad Bata🎉 As they say moving on is growing 🤙

Even though I came in about half ways through the KMR journey it feels like forever ago. Definitely consider KMR(BADBATA) one of the best car/art and fellow artist to artist, following this channel only inspired me to branch out and create a new car club from a previous club i was in so thank you for the being one of the few inspirations in my own journey for sure! All in all never actually thought I would see the end of Kings Must Rise BUT definitely feeling optimistic about the new things that lie ahead with this new concept here's to future ventures bro we're here for it LET'S GOOOOOO!

Hope to see what in store for you and this channel, I followed this since it was namesbirdy. I wasn't in to cars that much but I still enjoyed the vlogs from this channel. Cool to see the evolution and good luck with bad bata brand.

I feel you bro. Same sentiments on my part. I even can't continue again on my vlogs as well. It was one hell of a ride watching you guys since the early 86 days. This vlog today is gloomy but it brings this weird vibe of heartwarming happiness while watching the old memories at the end of the video. Wish you guys success again in the future

Been watching since 2015, FRS drew me in, your passion and consistency kept me around. No dream is too big! Can’t wait to see what else you create bro!

What a journey ❤. I remember watch japan vlogs and back to the beginning of the frs. A great mentor to us all and can’t wait to continue watching where you will go 🎉

I grew up with KMR and loved the brand for a while it even got me into the car scene. I just graduated highschool and my dream car is a BRZ. I remember watching all the vlogs back in the day and eventually i was able to get some of your merch! I am really glad you are back and can't wait to see where BadBata will take you.

To think that I used to watch your hairstyle Vids during my freshman year of high school, then after seeing you first wrap the 86 interior, inspiring me to work and buy my very own. You've definitely come a long way and have inspired countless people. I look forward to your new chapter and to supporting your new brand :) Midnight Kids 4 Lyfe

aw man its been nice keeping up, been following since the old instagram account was banned and then found out you had a youtube account when my brother got himself a scion xb, cant wait to see where you go birdy! also i too am an artist thats into cars, kept up w my old beater/project car because of you and other neat car channels! keep it up dude!!

Been following the journey since the hair tutorials💪🏽 excited to see what you do next

I used to always check for new KMR vids on Sunday when I had time early in the morning, and it was always so enjoyable when one had been posted sometime in the week or on the weekend. I loved seeing videos of you driving through Canada, and going to Japan, and all the creative cars I would only RARELY see in my own life, and in a time where I had no close friends of my own and not much going for me in life, I could always count on new posts or videos from Birdy and all the car crews I followed on social media because of you, and honestly you guys felt like friends to me (yes, parasocial but hey I was lonely) at the time. 💚 I never bought merch but now I wish I had. For the memories. 💚

thank you for real

Will always be a supporter bro. Wish you the best of luck on everything 🙏

the first accessory i ever put in my car is that turn signal extender of yours, and your style has been a major influence on how i want to mod my car. Sad to see KMR closes down its door, but excited for where you gonna go from here man. Good luck!

been subbed since 2016, but I will still be watching your new journey unfold! Looking forward to it!

Very bittersweet. Been on this ride with you for over a decade. It's crazy how much time passed. Even though it's sad the KMR brand is done, you gotta do what you gotta do and I look forward to see what comes out of the new brand. Side note, I still have and wear the hoodie you have on at 3:15. One of my favorites.

man i have been following you since like 2011 on facebook and all you had on youtube was a hair tutorial and 2 pokemon drawing videos or something lmao. You have inspired me to follow a career in art and keep pushing to reach my dreams and goals. We all love and support you. Looking forward to seeing what’s next!

KMR was for a big part of my carlife. Made color choices, car choices all with the inspiration of KMR. Birdy you saw it more as a "clothing brand" but i guess most of us saw it as a family (most part for the car scene), that we are proud of representing and seeing you guys work on cars and be that creative in the carscene was simply awesome. I hope you find your way on your new journey❤ build big things brother 🙏💪

I remember I used to watch you and lowcals back in my senior year of high school, which was like seven years ago. Everything seems so surreal back then, so I was doing things with cars that I wanted to do so I eventually end up getting two cars that I love and actually built for a change gonna give you guys the respect because you guys motivated me all those years ago

You and this channel were a major part of my reason to finally pick up a FRS after years of watching you mod yours. While its sad to see KMR end, the journey of progression will always be remembered and etched in stone. One door closes and the next one opens. Here's to the next part of the journey.

Been here since the beginning started watching when I was 14, the growth has been insane. Hopefully one day I’ll take a trip out of the US to get a chance to meet you. The grind don’t stop

Gonna miss KMR but i was def happy to follow the journey ♡ I cant wait to see the next path ~ i can def relate to this

Best music, edits, and narration this got me almost to tears

I used to watch your FRS and other car build videos on my old channel when I was super heavy into the car culture. Do what you have to do and do a good job at doing it.

been suppoting your content since i was a kid, I now make content because I was inspired by all that you do. Going to miss KMR but I also can't wait for what you do in the future. Moving on is a way of growing up, you got this birdy! 💚

Man I’ve been watching you since 2015 also and it’s crazy how much you’ve impacted me to do mods to my truck

Lost royalty pixel art, kmr, birdy art...so many fond memories. We've all grown up and gotten mature, changed directions in life. But please know the happiness and fun I've had thanks to you since my early childhood is something that will not be forgotten. I'm sure your next steps and plans in life will be smth I'll be able to enjoy whenever I'll stumble over your content. U go and keep living life birdy, much love for real. You've played a big part in me still being alive when I was younger...❤

You’re the reason I got into cars when I was in middle/high school… thank you bro

best of luck in your endevors thank you for being a car scene OG and sharing creativity the world lacks now excited to see what you put together!

Your day once will always have your back. Whatever journey you go through. We need more KZread vids birdy!!!!!!

What a journey. Onto the next, all the best homie, you're going to kill it. See you along the convention circuit✌️

Always been fun to watch the adventure. take care. I hope you the best in what is to come. I will keep following along.

Man I’m going to miss kingmustrise but I’m going to always support your choices bro love man I’ve always loved your channel since you guys first started but I’ve haven’t been able to watch all your channel for 6 years I’ve been dealing with family losses and it’s been really tough life has been really hard but no matter if you’re at your down fall never give up life may take a lot but don’t let it take your happiness and what you love to do love you guys i wish you guys good fortune in your new journey

So Emotional The Last Part with the pics and the song city of mine. You inspire me during the past 8 years, to have a sport car, to have a own business and now i have my own Wrapping Business here in Le Mans in France. I am a big fan, never lose one of yours videos, and am going to continue to see the new ones. Thank you for all bro and stay strong. I'd love to have one of your Sweat Shirt of your brand, so style 🏁 JP, your fan of Le Mans in France.

Glad you're back. Loved the videos

Glad to be apart of the legacy 🙏 thanks for inspiring and being a homie as well now ❤

Found you during COVID and always loved the vibes from your videos. Excited for the next chapter and cant wait to see what's instore! also whats the ending song?

What ever your plan bro, we always support you from behind, keep it up the good work

I just wanna say. I miss watching you. I watched every video you made. You tought me so much on cars. You tought me how to do wraps, change my steering wheel and even my body kit. Thank you. Never leave. We all want you to stay and maybe try just having fun for a while. Screw all the craziness. Start small.

Noway man haven't watched a vid in a minute but this is sad to see as it takes me back. Good luck on your future journey!
