Profile
One of pop'n music's most frequent composers, Seiya's history with Konami dates back to as early as the early 1990's, where he started off doing music for various Mega Drive games and music tracks for the (at the time) popular Tokimeki Memorial Vocal CDs, as well as the 1998 Red Company-developed RPG / dating simulation Mitsumete Knight. (One of the tracks from that was later remixed in pop'n music as THE MAN FROM FAR EAST.) His first project for BEMANI was the 1999 pop'n stage EX, a re-release of pop'n stage with two new songs, one of them being his song WE TWO ARE ONE that was soon ported to pop'n music 4. Since pop'n music 4 he has appeared in every arcade entry. He also served as head sound director of 4 and 5, as well as being the co-director of KEYBOARDMANIA 2ndMIX with Naya~n and head sound director of KEYBOARDMANIA 3rdMIX, the final entry in the series. After pop'n music 5, fellow BEMANI composer Jun Wakita would handle the sound direction of pop'n music with pop'n music 6, though Seiya continued to sound direct various pop'n music entries up to PARTY♪. Seiya also appears regularly in IIDX as of DistorteD.
Seiya is currently the sound producer of ミライダガッキ FutureTomTom.
