His real name has never been revealed, he almost never makes appearances in BEMANI events (only appearing in ''six'' events as of 2021), and very few pictures of him are on the Internet, most of them covering his face. Since the 2010's, even the '''lyrics''' to his BEMANI songs are affected by this; at his request, most only contain a few lines - if any at all - in the BEMANI OST booklets they correspond to, or, in the case of his English songs prior to 2014, are translated back into Japanese. Lyrics that he ''does'' release in full often contain lines that were not sung and tend to omit verses. | ||

Profile
Asaki is a BEMANI artist who made his debut in 2002 in GUITARFREAKS 7thMIX & drummania 6thMIX. He is best known for his songs in the GuitarFreaks & DrumMania, which combine elements of rock, visual kei, and industrial rock in them, most of them he performed and produced solo, with some exceptions. Prior to joining KONAMI, Asaki was the vocalist in a visual kei band called Blanc Neige (group pic here) back in his college years.
Asaki has been a large contributor to pop'n music and REFLEC BEAT, with occasional appearances in other BEMANI titles. He has also served as the guitarist for many other BEMANI artists, including wac, TOMOSUKE, and Yuei Uematsu.

His real name has never been revealed, he almost never makes appearances in BEMANI events (only appearing in six events as of 2021), and very few pictures of him are on the Internet, most of them covering his face. Since the 2010's, even the lyrics to his BEMANI songs are affected by this; at his request, most only contain a few lines - if any at all - in the BEMANI OST booklets they correspond to, or, in the case of his English songs prior to 2014, are translated back into Japanese. Lyrics that he does release in full often contain lines that were not sung and tend to omit verses.
