Artist Information
Reo Nagumo joined KONAMI in February of 1996. He can be considered the grandfather of BEMANI as he was one of the co-creators of beatmania in 1997. He was also the first sound director, the first in-house composer, and did the first title screen music. He's also the only BEMANI composer to sound direct all three beatmania series, as well as write songs for the short-lived ParaParaParadise. His musical styles are especially focused on rave and pop music, though he dabbled in a few other genres as well.
In October 2000, Reo Nagumo left KONAMI to work for Sony Computer Entertainment as a director. However, he continued to provide tracks as a commission artist until 2006 for beatmania IIDX and 2008 for pop'n music. In 2007, he also did a remix of GRADIUSIC CYBER for once-colleague dj TAKA's album milestone. In 2008, all of his post-4th style songs were removed from the beatmania IIDX series as of beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS, and so were all of his songs in the DanceDanceRevolution series as of DanceDanceRevolution X (and quite a few in the pop'n music series as of pop'n music 17 THE MOVIE as well). However, in 2023, his song "Logic Board" was revived in beatmania IIDX 31 EPOLIS, making it his first post-4th style song brought back to the series in nearly 15 years.
It was hinted that he inherited a sushi restaurant (see the music production Info for tiger yamato), though this was later proven untrue. Since March 2003, Reo is the CEO of a Japanese company called Yudo Ltd., and wrote music for the WiiWare/iPhone series Aero Revolution. A link to an article on this can be found here. Currently, Reo also owns and runs the company DoYou Lab.
Trivia
- One of Reo's first credited works being the prize game Miracle spin (みらくるすぴん), which had a hidden feature to play drum sounds alongside the music while the glass door to replace prizes was opened.
- The "'73" in Reo's jam master'73 alias is a reference to his birth year, 1973.
- pop'n music character Reo★kun is based on Reo.
- Reo provided music for the PlayStation 2 game Racing Battle C1 Grand Prix, alongside Sadahiro Nakano.
