He first appeared in the GuitarFreaks & DrumMania series in 1999 for GUITARFREAKS 2ndMIX, and composed at least one song for each mix from GUITARFREAKS 4thMIX & drummania 3rdMIX until GuitarFreaks V4 & DrumMania V4.

After 16 years at the company, Motoaki left KONAMI in January 2003, but continued to contribute as a freelance musician in BEMANI until 2010. On September 28th, 2007, he started his own music label - M's Art. He also currently serves as the guitarist in the band VOYAGER.
