Asaki has been a large contributor to the GuitarFreaks & DrumMania and REFLEC BEAT series, with occasional appearances in other BEMANI titles, such as pop'n music. He has also served as the guitarist for many other BEMANI artists, including [[Jun Wakita|wac]], [[Tomosuke Funaki|TOMOSUKE]], and [[Yuei Uematsu]]. | Asaki has been a large contributor to the GuitarFreaks & DrumMania and REFLEC BEAT series, with occasional appearances in other BEMANI titles, such as pop'n music.

His real name has never been revealed, he almost never makes appearances in BEMANI events (only appearing in ''six'' events as of 2024), and very few pictures of him are on the Internet, most of them covering his face. Since the 2010's, even the '''lyrics''' to his BEMANI songs are affected by this; at his request, most only contain a few lines - if any at all - in the BEMANI OST booklets they correspond to, with songs with English lyrics written by him occasionally translated back into Japanese. Lyrics that he ''does'' release in full often contain lines that were not sung and tend to omit a few verses that were sung. | ||
