DANCE☆MAN started his career in 1998, and has since established a rather lengthy and successful following centered around his re-arranging of 70's and 80's American disco, funk, and boogie songs and replacing the lyrics with often humorous Japanese lyrics. He also makes his own original songs, such as those featured in IIDX. He began his career when he signed with the Japanese music label AVEX and started releasing singles and albums, but in 1999, he began arranging and re-arranging music written by popular Japanese composers, beginning with the single "Love Machine" by female group Morning Musume, which was extremely popular and got DANCE☆MAN's name known in this business. | DANCE☆MAN started his career in 1998, and has since established a rather lengthy and successful following centered around his re-arranging of 70's and 80's American disco, funk, and boogie songs and replacing the lyrics with often humorous Japanese lyrics.
