Profile
Kosuke Saito (born December 17th, 1983) is a commissioned artist for BEMANI who made his debut in beatmania IIDX 4th style, winning a Musicianship Trial to be in beatmania IIDX. (Ryu☆ won this same contest.) Kosuke returned in beatmania IIDX 9th style by request of dj TAKA, and has been a regular contributor to beatmania IIDX since, being one of the only commissioned artists (alongside Ryu☆) considered part of the "core" beatmania IIDX sound team.
Outside of BEMANI, Kosuke also has his own record label, S2TB Recording which holds it's own releases as well as Hommarju and Akira Complex ones.
Kosuke is by far, one of the most variated music artists inside BEMANI, while his earlier style was more trance and hardcore based under his teranoid alias, he also composes a lot of reggae and R&B. With the years passing he's also done a lot of happy hardcore/makina under the CANDY RAVE series which started with SigSig, as well as some notorious psy-trance songs under his Programmed series.
Lately, his style reminisces a lot of EDM, electro house and dubstep, positioning him as one of the big names in Japanese dance music, inside and outside of BEMANI. Also, under his Eagle alias, he does drum'n bass, drumstep, glitch hop and wobble bass based genres, including a handful of songs for beatmania IIDX.
Trivia
- Outside of BEMANI, Kosuke Saito has also composed songs for Pentavision's DJMAX series, under the alias Oriental ST8.
- Kosuke has admitted to being a big fan of the cartoon show The Simpsons. He did a remix of the opening theme once for MC NATSACK's radio show, and ay carumba!!!! was named specifically after character Bart Simpson's catchphrase.
- Poochie is also named after a Simpsons character.
