Profile

Shuichi Kobori is a former BEMANI artist who mainly worked on beatmania IIDX. His first BEMANI projects were doing notecharts for beatmania IIDX 3rd style CS and beatmania APPEND ClubMIX before moving up to composing songs and even becoming the sound director of one of the early CS IIDX games. He mostly did drum'n'bass during his BEMANI tenure, though he also dabbled in a couple of instrumental songs with guitars, as well as a couple of 2step songs. Prior to joining KONAMI, Shuichi worked at SQUARESOFT as a sound effects designer.

Outside of BEMANI, Shuichi worked on sound editing for KONAMI's METAL GEAR SOLID series, eventually moving up to doing music for the third entry in the series, METAL GEAR SOLID 3: Snake Eater, as well as METAL GEAR AC!D.
