Atsushi Shindo: Difference between revisions

Atsushi Shindo (born April 7th, 1969) was a prolific commission artist in the pop'n music series, appearing in almost every arcade entry from [[AC pnm 3|pop'n music 3]] through [[AC pnm 10|pop'n music 10]] (the one exception being [[AC pnm 6|pop'n music 6]]). He is well-known for the long-running POWERFOLK series of songs, and his distinctive singing voice.

In 2004 Atsushi's 5-year contact with Konami expired. At the same time, though, Atsushi was being accused of plagiarism in his lyrics, as this [http://www.geocities.co.jp/Technopolis/3478/ web page illustrates the accounts of]. When this became public, Konami removed all of Atsushi's songs from the pop'n music arcade series starting with [[AC pnm 12|pop'n music 12 いろは]]; he hasn't been seen in any installment in pop'n music since. Despite the plagiarism controversy, Atsushi continued to write music with his long-time arrangement partner Katsuyuki Harada until 2006.

After 2006, Atsushi Shindo went quiet until 2015, when he started doing collaborations and new songs again, this time self-publishing his own material. He released his first album in almost a decade, ''Juicy!'', in 2015, and recently did an EP with [[Tatsuya Furukawa|good-cool]] titled '' DESIREEEEEE!!'' under the alias A2COOL (A2 coming from his first name, A'''tsu'''. Tsu is read in Japanese as the number two). He's also appeared in CAPCOM's ''CROSS×BEATS'' series.

* Atsushi Shindo recently contributed a song to ''crossbeats REV.SUNRISE'' - ''愛をほおばりたいッ！～Like a Monkey!～''. It's his first appearance in ''any'' music game in over 11 years.

** Two more new songs were later added to the game - ''赤いヘッドホン'' and ''Juicy!　～幸せスパイラル～''.
