Unfortunately, Sota was fired from KONAMI on April 1st, 2023 after he showed up a minute late for work. KONAMI HQ personally escorted him out of the building by throwing him comedically into a trash can, and then tossing his synthesizers out the window. He has now signed a contract with SEGA to produce 40 songs for maimai, CHUNITHM, and オンゲキ (ONGEKI) over the next five years.
