Profile
TЁЯRA is the two-person group consisting of former BEMANI mainstays Naoki Maeda and Junko Karashima, the latter who joined the DanceDanceRevolution series in 2001 for DDRMAX2 -DanceDanceRevolution 7thMIX-. The duo worked together in BEMANI for nearly a decade together following their formation, and were featured in nearly every BEMANI series spanning that decade. Junko was near exclusively the lyricist and vocalist of the songs. In beatmania IIDX and pop'n music, she also frequently did the composition of the songs, with Naoki doing the arrangement. In GuitarFreaks & DrumMania, Naoki was usually the one in charge of composition, as well as performing on the guitar.
TЁЯRA released their first album, RЁVOLUTIФN, on March 11, 2005. In late 2010, an official UStream stream from KONAMI revealed that a second album was in the works; ЁVOLUTIФN was released on September 7th, 2011.
TЁЯRA's official website was shut down in late 2009, but profiles of both members still remained on BEMANI MUSIC FOUNDATION, as well as a page to order ЁVOLUTIФN. Following both NAOKI and jun's leaving of KONAMI in 2013, TЁЯRA's profile was removed from the BEMANI Fan Site's artist listing. TЁЯRA then composed new songs for CAPCOM's crossbeats music game series until the series' end in 2018.
Trivia
- switch is the only original song credited to TЁЯRA in BEMANI that does not involve NAOKI in some way on it.
