His real name has never been revealed, he almost never makes appearances in BEMANI events (only appearing in ''six'' events as of 2024), 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, with songs with English lyrics written by him occasionally translated back into Japanese. Lyrics that he ''does'' release in full often contain lines that were not sung and tend to omit a few verses that were sung. | ||

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 visual kei and industrial rock in them, most of them he performed and produced solo. 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 the GuitarFreaks & DrumMania and REFLEC BEAT series, though he has made occasional appearances in other BEMANI titles, most notably in pop'n music. He has also served as the guitarist, and recently as the bassist, for many other BEMANI artists, including wac, TOMOSUKE, and Yuei Uematsu.
Despite being with KONAMI since 2002, very little is known about Asaki. His real name has never been revealed, he almost never makes appearances in BEMANI events (only appearing in six events as of 2024), 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, with songs with English lyrics written by him occasionally translated back into Japanese. Lyrics that he does release in full often contain lines that were not sung and tend to omit a few verses that were sung.
Trivia
- Asaki was the sound director of GuitarFreaks V5 & DrumMania V5 Rock to Infinity and GuitarFreaks V6 & DrumMania V6 BLAZING!!!!.
- Asaki is the only BEMANI artist that provided songs (new, newly arranged/sung or lyrics) for every single installment of REFLEC BEAT up to VOLZZA 2 (including updated versions and REFLEC BEAT plus).
- Asaki co-hosted the ceased BEMANI Backstage radio show with Yuei Uematsu.
- Asaki showed himself at the 101st BEMANI生放送(仮) (BEMANI Namahousou (kari)) episode, one of the very few appearance he's ever made at a KONAMI event.
- After the video was set to private for a week, Asaki's face in the episode is now censored with a caricature of his face.
- Asaki is one of the very few in-house artists whose songs have not been remixed or arranged by other BEMANI in-house artist.
- All songs credited solely to Asaki have titles in Japanese, with the majority of his instrumental songs are titled either in English or Latin.
- All songs composed and sung solely by Asaki do not contain the BEMANI Sound Team moniker written in their jackets even with Asaki's logo, despite being credited in-game as such.
- Asaki's logo was created by Takao Yamamoto, who also designed the artwork and logo of 天庭. It is based on the logo created by MONOCHROME INK for 神曲, itself based on Asaki's signature that first appeared on 月光蝶's banner in GUITARFREAKS 9thMIX & drummania 8thMIX's website.
- All songs composed and sung solely by Asaki do not contain the BEMANI Sound Team moniker written in their jackets even with Asaki's logo, despite being credited in-game as such.
- According to a 4Gamer interview, Asaki joined KONAMI to get money to buy an amplifier, knowing about them after playing their RPG games (even though he claimed it was just a coincidence).
- On the same interview, Asaki said that he writes the lyrics before composing a song (a practice he has held since middle school), and that he started mixing his own songs after a suggestion from 天庭's mixing engineer.
- Outside of BEMANI, Asaki composed Reason For Being, the opening theme of KONAMI's arcade game ARMORED PRINCESS: BATTLE CONDUCTOR.
