Profile
Shigeharu Saeki is a long-time contributor to BEMANI, who's been around since 2002, when he debuted as a sound designer in GUITARFREAKS 8thMIX & drummania 7thMIX. He continued to work on the GuitarFreaks & DrumMania playing background instruments for various cover songs in the series. He eventually composed his first song for the series in GuitarFreaks V & DrumMania V; Destructive Wave. He also made a live appearance at GITADO LIVE 2007, playing most of the set's keyboard parts. Shigeharu eventually started composing songs for other BEMANI games as well.
Shigeharu's songs, even in GuitarFreaks & DrumMania, are for the most part more electronic/synthesized than most of his contemporaries, dabbling in techno and a bit of chiptune under his S-C-U alias, which he has used near exclusively the past few years in BEMANI.
Since jubeat knit APPEND, Shigeharu has been the sound director of the jubeat series.
