Profile
Hotaru Matsuzaki (better known as F-FLY) was a long-time artist in BEMANI, making her debut in beatmania completeMIX. Her art style is very distinctive, with large outlines around her characters, her art akin to underground comic art at times.
After beatmania ended in 2002, Hotaru joined the beatmania IIDX "VJ ARMY" during the production cycle of beatmania IIDX 9th style. Typography was a recurring theme in her beatmania IIDX videos, though her older art style used in beatmania could occasionally be seen in songs such as SPACE FIGHT, POODLE, and especially SHIFT. Her first video made for the series was The Biggest Roaster.
After over seven years of work on BEMANI titles, Hotaru left KONAMI in 2006 (as stated in her blog on 7/31/06). Despite her departure, she continued to make videos in BEMANI as late as beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS.
