Artist Information

Profile

A long-time contributor to BEMANI, Osamu Migitera started off as a sound data analyzer in pop'n music and IIDX before he started writing his own music. He is best known for his happy hardcore songs and his rock tracks under his Des-ROW alias, though he's also dabbled in trance, rap, and poppy songs as well.

Osamu's first song for BEMANI was the opening theme of beatmania CORE REMIX. Shortly after he composed INNOVATION for pop'n music 5, though he mostly worked on beatmania as a sound director alongside Takehiko Fujii until its end in 2002. Afterwards Osamu has mainly worked on pop'n music, and has served as the sound director of several pop'n music games, as well for the spin off game ポップンリズミン. Recently Osamu has also branched out into almost every BEMANI franchise out right now, including jubeat and DanceDanceRevolution. He's also appeared in several GuitarFreaks and DrumMania installments.

Starting with REFLEC BEAT groovin'!! Upper, Osamu Migitera became the REFLEC BEAT series' producer, and was one of the sound directors of the REFLEC BEAT series alongisde DJ TOTTO until KONAMI confirmed in 2018 that REFLEC BEAT 悠久のリフレシア would be the last installment in the series.

Trivia

  • According to the song commentary for World Wide Love, Osamu is not a fan of his own voice. Ironically, he provided the lead/backup vocals of nearly every song of his with vocals in it following his work on World Wide Love.
  • Osamu's Des-ROW alias was first named by Takehiko Fujii. After Osamu developed an interest in the death metal genre, he was making jokes about "death pop" and other things with "death" in front of them, along with Akehiro Hidaka and Naoki189, and Takehiko remarked they were like a "death row". Osamu liked the sound of this, and took the Des-ROW alias for his metal song INNOVATION.
  • There is conflicting information on how to pronounce "Des-ROW":
    • The above origin of the Des-ROW alias suggests "dess row".
    • Osamu noted on his previous BEMANI fan site page that it was pronounced "dees row".
    • Keysounds at the end of Mychronicle have both pronunciations, with "dess row" using Osamu's voice and "dees row" at a higher pitch.
  • MTO stands for Migitera Osamu.
  • According to Seiya Murai in this pop'n music 11 Q&A, Osamu was the one who suggested the travel theme that later became pop'n music 11.
  • Osamu was the sound director of GuitarFreaks & DrumMania MASTERPIECE SILVER and GuitarFreaks V2 & DrumMania V2 CS.
  • Osamu was the music director of DanceMasters / DanceEvolution on the Xbox 360.
  • Osamu is also known as "The Famous Artist" (유명 아티스트) in Korean BEMANI fandom, originated from the TV show Do the G on Ongamenet introducing カゲロウ as "the song by the famous artist, Des-ROW".
  • Osamu has a teaching license, which is referenced on the jacket of 純白レジエンド –冬–.
    • Thus, DTO stands for Death Teacher Oresama.
  • Osamu has written music for the KONAMI game BATTLE CLIMAXX!.
