General Information
Junko Karashima is a long-time artist for BEMANI. She joined back in 2002 in DDRMAX2, moving up in the series to becoming head sound director of DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2, as well as several of the HOTTEST PARTY entries. She is best known for her series of songs under the TËЯRA alias alongside Naoki Maeda. She also wrote lyrics for a few of Naoki's songs outside of said alias, including at least one for his J-POP group BeForU.
She also did the music for the first installment of Konami's Japanese arcade game series, QUIZ MAGIC ACADEMY.
Following Naoki's retirement from Konami in 2013, TËЯRA's profile was removed from the BEMANI Fan Site's artist listing, so it's currently unknown if Junko still works in Konami.
