Profile

Yuichi Asami is known as one of the first KONAMI artists for the DanceDanceRevolution series, along with Naoki Maeda. Yuichi worked mainly as a CS artist for the series (until DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA), and he also directed some of the CS titles, like MARIO MIX and the HOTTEST PARTY series. Though Yuichi remained as a DanceDanceRevolution exclusive artist for many years, he started composing songs for other BEMANI series like jubeat and beatmania IIDX.

His sound is very variated but always ranging inside the electronic genres. He's known for doing a lot of house, rave, and trance with a couple of speedcore and hardcore tracks. Lately, he's ventured into EDM-based genres as well. He's also a proficient DJ and turntablist.

Besides his works for BEMANI, he also composed music for games like NBA POWER DUNKERS, RUMBLE ROSES and Police 911.

Yuichi was the sound director of the ミライダガッキ FutureTomTom BEMANI series. Following its end on July 31st, 2015, he returned to the DanceDanceRevolution team, and is now the head sound director of the series.

Trivia

• Yuichi's NPD3's alias is a reference to the NBA POWER DUNKERS 3 game, where he composed music for.
• Yuichi currently has the third longest career of any in-house BEMANI artist, performing music for BEMANI since early April 1999, only two months behind Mutsuhiko Izumi and dj TAKA.
