Reo Nagumo joined KONAMI in February of 1996. He can be considered the grandfather of BEMANI as he was one of the co-creators of [[AC bm 1st|beatmania]] in 1997. He was also the first sound director, the first in-house composer, and did the first title screen music. He's also the only BEMANI composer to sound direct all three beatmania series, as well as write songs for the short-lived [[AC PPP|ParaParaParadise]]. His musical styles are especially focused on rave and pop music, though he dabbled in a few other genres as well. | Reo Nagumo joined KONAMI in February of 1996.
