== Profile ==
Yuichi Asami is known as one of the first KONAMI artists for the DanceDanceRevolution series, along with [[Naoki Maeda]]. Yuichi worked near exclusively on console DanceDanceRevolution titles until [[AC DDR SuperNOVA|DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA]]; he's even served as a director on some titles, like [[CS DDR MARIO|MARIO MIX]] and the [[CS DDR HOTTEST PARTY|HOTTEST PARTY]] series. In the early 2010's Yuichi started composing songs for other BEMANI series like beatmania IIDX and REFLEC BEAT.

Yuichi's music mainly focuses on electronic genres in BEMANI. He's known for house, rave, and trance, with a couple of speedcore and hardcore tracks. Lately, he's ventured into EDM as well. He's also a proficient DJ and turntablist. 

In 2011, Yuichi started sound directing the arcade DanceDanceRevolution series beginning with [[AC DDR X3|DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX]], sharing sound directing duties with [[Yasuhiro Taguchi|TAG]]. He left after X3 to serve as the sound director of the ''ミライダガッキ FutureTomTom'' BEMANI series until its end on July 31st, 2015. He returned to DanceDanceRevolution near the end of [[AC DDR 2014|DanceDanceRevolution (2014)]].

As of [[AC DDR A|DanceDanceRevolution A]], Yuichi is once more the sound director of the DanceDanceRevolution series.

== Trivia ==
* His main alias, U1, reads as "yu-ichi".
* Yuichi's 2MB alias refers to the amount of RAM found in Sony's PlayStation gaming console. 
* Yuichi's NPD3's alias is a reference to the ''NBA POWER DUNKERS 3'' game (released in North America as ''NBA IN THE ZONE '98''), which he composed music for.
* Outside of BEMANI, Yuichi has also composed music for games like the ''NBA POWER DUNKERS/IN THE ZONE'' series, ''RUMBLE ROSES'', and ''Police 911''.
* Yuichi currently has the second longest career of any in-house BEMANI artist, performing music for BEMANI since early April 1999, only two months behind [[Takayuki Ishikawa|dj TAKA]].
* Almost every song Yuichi composed has its song comment center-aligned when shown in the game title's website.
* All of Yuichi's beatmania IIDX songs have their genre starting with ORBITALIC; this was also used in [[Flow (Scotty D. revisits U1)|Flow]]'s appearance in [[AC pnm 15|pop'n music 15 ADVENTURE]].
