Asaki is a BEMANI artist who made his debut in 2002 in [[AC GF7DM6|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'' ([http://www.last.fm/music/Blanc+Neige group pic here]) back in his college years.


Asaki has also been a large contributor to pop'n music and REFLEC BEAT, and even has done a few beatmania IIDX songs. He has also served as the guitarist for many other BEMANI artists, including [[Jun Wakita|wac]], [[Tomosuke Funaki|TOMOSUKE]], and [[Yuei Uematsu]].
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 [[Jun Wakita|wac]], [[Tomosuke Funaki|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, and very few pictures of him are on the Internet, most of them covering his face. Even the '''lyrics''' to his 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, are translated back into Japanese.

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.

Artist Information

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.

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.
