Profile
Tatsuya Furukawa is one of BEMANI's best known commission artists, and for years was one of the most active composers in beatmania IIDX and pop'n music. He has dabbled in genres ranging from house, R&B, and disco to even metal rock and '80s new wave, usually using Japanese or English vocalists. While he no longer writes music for beatmania IIDX, Tatsuya can still be found in GuitarFreaks & DrumMania and pop'n music on the occasion.
As of late 2015, Tatsuya has started his own indie label, G-C VIBES. He's also part of the A2COOL unit with Atsushi Shindo. He's also popped up on a few albums from the Diverse System doujin circle.
