Taku Sakakibara is one of the biggest names in beatmania IIDX despite his long absence from the series. Friends with both [[Takayuki Ishikawa|dj TAKA]] and [[Osamu Kubota]], his music is known for its full sound and more complex rhythms compared to some other beatmania IIDX artists. He stopped composing for beatmania IIDX in 2004 shortly after [[AC 10th style|10th style]] to focus on other musical endeavors outside of video game music, some of which are available to listen to on his website listed above. He did, however, provide two pop'n music songs with German lyrics after his departure. | |||

At the ongaq studio in 2011, he launched [https://www.gaqdan.com/ gaQdan], a studio recording orchestra business group. | ||
