Artist Information

Profile

Takahiro Fukase is a Japanese techno and drum'n'bass music producer. He has become popular with the SOUND VOLTEX series after winning a few SOUND VOLTEX contests and most of all, by creating charts for some of the most known boss songs of the game, such as Max Burning!! and For UltraPlayers. While he doesn't participate in FLOOR contests anymore, he's currently one of the regular effectors. Takahiro has also worked as a beatmania IIDX and pop'n music chart designer.

Outside BEMANI, he appeared on SOUND VOLTEX-centered compilations such as the ones from the Movement on the FLOOR doujin label and released solo albums and compilations under his label, PHQUASE PHRASE. He was also a member of the Riverside doujin circle, during the years when it was led by DJ TOTTO.

Takahiro Fukase is part of the beatnation Records label as of May 28th, 2014, as 猫叉Master's choice. As of late 2017, he is now employed at KONAMI as a member of the BEMANI Sound Team.

Takahiro is currently the sound director of the SOUND VOLTEX series.

Trivia

  • Takahiro's PHQUASE alias is pronounced as "FUKASE".
  • Takahiro composed the system BGM for SOUND VOLTEX VIVID WAVE.
  • Since I, all of Takahiro's effected songs in the SOUND VOLTEX series are credited as ~PH~ rather than his usual PHQUASE alias, except those credited to Ether99. This is likely a result from the BEMANI Sound Team branding policy.
  • In a similar manner to BlackY, Takahiro has effected at least one of the Highest Excellence Award winning songs in every KONAMI Arcade Championship original song contests since KAC 2012.
    • The only exception to this is 666, which was effected by MAD CHILD.
  • Ether99 being an alias of Takahiro's was confirmed in both the effector credits for SuddeNDeath, as well as his Tweet on April 5th, 2023 (the date of the restream of the finals of BEMANI PRO LEAGUE SEASON 2's SOUND VOLTEX division).
