Profile

Yuichi Asami is known as one of the first KONAMI artists for the DanceDanceRevolution series, along with Naoki Maeda. Yuichi worked near exclusively on console DanceDanceRevolution titles until DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA; he's even served as a director on some titles, like MARIO MIX and the HOTTEST PARTY series. In the early 2010's Yuichi started composing songs for other BEMANI series like beatmania IIDX and REFLEC BEAT.

Yuichi's music mainly focuses on electronic genres in BEMANI. He's known for house, rave, and trance, with a couple of speedcore and hardcore tracks. Lately, he's ventured into EDM as well. He's also a proficient DJ and turntablist.

In 2011, Yuichi started sound directing the arcade DanceDanceRevolution series beginning with DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX, sharing sound directing duties with TAG. He left after X3 to serve as the sound director of the ミライダガッキ FutureTomTom BEMANI series until its end on July 31st, 2015. He returned to DanceDanceRevolution near the end of DanceDanceRevolution (2014).

As of DanceDanceRevolution A, Yuichi is once more the sound director of the DanceDanceRevolution series.
