Reo Nagumo joined KONAMI in February of 1996. He can be considered the grandfather of BEMANI as he was one of the co-creators of [[AC bm 1st|beatmania]] in 1997. He was also the first sound director, the first in-house composer, and did the first title screen music.

His musical styles are especially focused on rave and pop music, though he dabbled in a few other genres as well. | Reo Nagumo joined KONAMI in February of 1996.
