Tomoyuki Uchida: Difference between revisions

A long-time contributor to both beatmania IIDX and pop'n music, Tomoyuki's work with BEMANI stretches as far back as November 1999, where he started off as a sound data analyzer alongside [[Osamu Migitera]] and [[Jun Wakita]] in [[AC pnm 3|pop'n music 3]]. Less than a year later he wrote his first BEMANI song for [[AC KBM 2nd|KEYBOARDMANIA 2ndMIX]], [[Ride on the Light]]. Shortly after he sound directed / supervised seven beatmania IIDX arcade games in a row, starting with [[AC 4th style|beatmania IIDX 4th style]]. He worked alongside [[Takayuki Ishikawa|dj TAKA]] from 4th to [[AC 8th style|8th]], along with [[Takehiko Fujii|SLAKE]] (who he once managed) in [[AC 9th style|9th]] and [[AC 10th style|10th]]. He also contributed covers / notecharts for pop'n music alongside his beatmania IIDX duties. From 2004 onward, Tomoyuki also made notecharts for the CS beatmania IIDX games, up until his departure from the series after [[CS EMPRESS|beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS + PREMIUM BEST]].

Tomoyuki left KONAMI in 2009, and was last listed in the credits of a BEMANI game as "special thanks" in [[CS pnm portable 2|pop'n music portable 2]]. He currently works at Sony Music Publishing Japan (Inc.) as a composer and arranger. Despite this, he still pops up once or twice a year in BEMANI games.
