Jason Michael "Stillwind" Borenstein provided the image (but not voice) for Michael a la Mode in several tutorials in the beatmania IIDX arcade games, as well as the "voice" in [[GOLD RUSH]] and [[B4U (BEMANI FOR YOU MIX)]]. In the DanceDanceRevolution series he served as a sound director on the Xbox DanceDanceRevolution Ultramix games, as well as the Wii title HOTTEST PARTY and the 2008 arcade game DanceDanceRevolution X. (He also worked on several other Konami games as part of the sound sound staff, too.)
