Despite being with KONAMI since 2002, though, very little is known about Asaki. His real name has never been revealed, he almost never makes appearances in BEMANI events, and very few pictures of him are on the Internet, most of them covering his face. Even the '''lyrics''' to his songs are affected by this; most only contain a part (if any at all) of the lyrics in the BEMANI OST booklets they correspond to. It is known, though, that he was the vocalist for a visual kei band called ''Blanc Neige'' ([http://www.last.fm/music/Blanc+Neige group pic here]) prior to joining KONAMI back in his middle school years, though.
