In contrast to his mentor [[Mutsuhiko Izumi]]'s hard rock sound, Yoshihiko Koezuka's music in BEMANI tends to drift more into a 1980s pop rock / ballad style of music. Beginning with [[Dreams in the night]] in [[AC_GF9DM8|GUITARFREAKS 9thMIX & drummania 8thMIX]], he started singing many of his own songs. He's also one of the few GuitarFreaks & DrumMania artists aside from [[Asaki]] and [[Akhuta]] who writes the lyrics to most of his own BEMANI songs, even for those he himself does not sing. Yoshihiko Koezuka has also provided the bass for dozens of songs in the GuitarFreaks & DrumMania series, both KONAMI originals and licenses alike, and still does to this day. From [[AC GFDM XG2|GuitarFreaksXG2 & DrumManiaXG2 Groove to Live]] through [[AC GD NEX+AGE|GITADORA NEX+AGE]], he was the sound director of the GuitarFreaks & DrumMania series. | In contrast to his mentor [[Mutsuhiko Izumi]]'s hard rock sound, Yoshihiko Koezuka's music in BEMANI tends to drift more into a 1980s pop rock / ballad style of music.
