When Life Gave Him Days, He Chose to Live Fully

In 2016, Yousuke Yukimatsu, a construction engineer from Japan, was diagnosed with malignant brain cancer. Doctors told him he had only days to live. But instead of surrendering to the diagnosis, Yousuke made a choice that would change his life forever.

He quit his job, picked up his turntables, and began chasing his one true dream — becoming a DJ.

From hospital beds to music festivals, Yousuke turned pain into rhythm and fear into fire. His beats now echo across the world, from Tokyo to Berlin, from Boiler Room to Wonderland proof that passion can heal what medicine sometimes can’t.

Today, Yousuke is not just a survivor
he’s a symbol of defiance, a reminder that when life gives you an expiration date, you rewrite it with your own beat.
