In December 2009, Yonezu's song "Clock Lock Works" was featured on an Exit Tunes compilation album, Supernova, the first time a song of his appeared on an album. Yonezu renamed his blog Denshi-chō Hachibangai ( 電子帖八番, "Electronic Notebook 8th Avenue"), and it was one of five blogs awarded the Diamond Award at the 2009 WebMoney Awards. Though Yonezu had uploaded over 30 songs sung by himself, he deleted them when his Vocaloid songs became more popular. His 2009 song "Musunde Hiraite Rasetsu to Mukuro" ( 結ンデ開イテ羅刹ト骸) was his first song to receive over 1,000,000 views on the site.

While a student there, he started uploading songs using Vocaloid software Hatsune Miku instead, which were increasingly popular. Yonezu moved to Osaka after high school, and started attending a fine arts school. Yonezu created his blog in this period, and called it Tekitō Edda ( 適当EDDA). None of the songs were widely viewed, with the greatest, "Beelzebub," receiving only 23,000 views. Yonezu wrote songs for the band, and between April 2008 and March 2009 uploaded 24 original songs to video sharing website Nico Nico Douga using the name Hachi. In late 2007, he set up a website for the band, posting song lyrics and short novels. He worked as the vocalist, songwriter and occasional guitarist, while Nakajima was the guitarist. Yonezu's first foray into music was in 2006 during his second year of junior high school, where he formed a band with his friend Hiroshi Nakajima, called Late Rabbit Edda, to play for the school culture festival. He was diagnosed with autism after the age of 20 and also has Marfan syndrome. Yonezu typically felt that his mother understood him. As a child, Yonezu found it difficult to communicate with other people, especially his father.
