Yuichi Asami is known as one of the first KONAMI artists for the DanceDanceRevolution series, along with Naoki Maeda. Yuichi worked mainly as a CS artist for the series (until DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA), and he also directed some of the CS titles, like MARIO MIX and the HOTTEST PARTY series. Though Yuichi remained as a DanceDanceRevolution exclusive artist for many years, he started composing songs for other BEMANI series like jubeat and beatmania IIDX.

Besides his works for BEMANI, he also composed music for games like NBA POWER DUNKERS, RUMBLE ROSES and Police 911.
Yuichi was the sound director of the ミライダガッキ FutureTomTom BEMANI series until its end on July 31st, 2015.
As of DanceDanceRevolution A, Yuichi is currently the sound director of the DanceDanceRevolution series.
