Profile
TËЯRA is the two-person group consisting of former BEMANI mainstays NAOKI and jun, the latter who joined the DanceDanceRevolution series in 2002 for DDRMAX2: DanceDanceRevolution 7thMIX. The duo worked together in BEMANI for a near decade together following their formation, at one point featured in nearly every BEMANI series from the early 2000's to the early 2010's. jun is near exclusively the lyricist and vocalist of the songs: in beatmania IIDX and pop'n music, she also frequently did the composition of the songs, with NAOKI doing the arrangement. In GuitarFreaks & DrumMania, NAOKI was usually the one in charge of composition, as well as performing on the guitar.
TËЯRA released their first album, RЁVOLUTIФN, on March 11, 2005. In late 2010, an official UStream stream from KONAMI revealed that a second album was in the works; ЁVOLUTIФN was released on September 7th, 2011.
TËЯRA's official website was shut down in late 2009, but profiles of both members still remain on BEMANI MUSIC FOUNDATION, as well as a page to order ЁVOLUTIФN. Following both NAOKI and jun's leaving of KONAMI in 2013, TËЯRA's profile was removed from the BEMANI Fan Site's artist listing. TËЯRA then composed new songs for CAPCOM's crossbeats music game series until the series' end in 2018.
Trivia
- switch is the only original song credited to TËЯRA in BEMANI that does not involve NAOKI in some way on it.
