Profile
Aru Azumaya (born December 10, 1991) is a translator, musician, game developer, and visual artist to be with various hobbies. His first exposure to BEMANI was at a Las Vegas arcade with the first US version of Dance Dance Revolution, with interest in the BEMANI franchise rising slowly afterwards.
He began branching off to various BEMANI games such as GuitarFreaks, beatmaniaIIDX, and Pop'n Music as early as late 2010 and has been rising a bit since. He's been in and out with BEMANI in general as of late, but he still enjoys playing BEMANI games every once in a while.
He also makes music as A-zu-ra with some limited exposure and success. He has formerly participated in One Hour Compo (OHC) on ThaSauce Network and is currently releasing for 9-Bit Records. He has plans to eventually invest more in his musical endeavors.
