== Trivia ==
* Prior to his full name being revealed in 2019, Kiyoshi had stated in an interview with the Japanese website [https://web.archive.org/web/20070815195132/http://www.gpara.com/contents/creator/bn_098.htm Gpara.com] that his commonly used "Seiya" alias wasn't his real first name.
* Kiyoshi did the rearranged pop'n music title screen theme heard in [[AC pnm 4|pop'n music 4]] and [[AC pnm 5|5]], as well as the new intro themes from [[AC pnm 9|pop'n music 9]] through [[AC pnm 12|pop'n music 12 いろは]].
* Kiyoshi is the first in-house BEMANI artist to use a VOCALOID in a song. He used Prima in [[Tekkou otome -under the steel-|鉄甲乙女 -under the steel-]] in [[AC EMPRESS|beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS]].
* Kiyoshi's V.C.O. alias is an abbreviation for "Voltage Controlled Orchestra".
** This alias is most likely a reference to Murai's favorite band, Yellow Magic Orchestra, which is often abbreviated as YMO.
* Famous KONAMI composers [[Michiru Yamane]] and [[Miki Higashino]] were Murai's seniors in the same department as him when he first joined KONAMI in the 1990's.
** The song comments for [[A SHOOTING STAR]] note how one of Kiyoshi's first sound specific jobs at KONAMI was making new sound effects for the PC Engine Super CD ports of some of KONAMI's games, like ''GRADIUS II''.
* One of Kiyoshi's tracks from ''Mitsumete Knight'' was later remixed in pop'n music as [[THE MAN FROM FAR EAST]].
** Likewise, an arrangement of his song [[Tenohira no kakumei|掌の革命]] from ''Tokimeki Memorial Best Vocal Collection 2'' has also made an appearance in pop'n music.
* According to the [http://www.konami.jp/bemani/popn/music9/qa/02.html pop'n music 9 Q&A], Kiyoshi notes that the Kiyommy+Seiya alias was decided after he placed his name at the end of said alias. Originally it was intended to just be Kiyommy.
** He also mentions that his natural bear alias was named by [[Katsuhiko Suzuki|Nazo²鈴木]] after he said to Kiyoshi, "Is it a natural bear?" (ナチュラルベアでいいじゃん？).
* Kiyoshi produced music for KONAMI's arcade game ''Otoca♥d'or'' (オトカ♥ドール), which launched on March 14th, 2015, until July 2017. Its website can be found [https://www.konami.com/amusement/ac/otoca/ here].
