Artist Information

General Information

• Name: DANCE☆MAN (ダンス☆マン)
• Real Name: Hideki Fujisawa (藤沢秀樹)
• Website: http://www.danceman.co.jp

DANCE☆MAN started his career in 1998, and has since established a rather lengthy and successful career centered around re-arranging 70's and 80's American disco, funk, and boogie songs and replacing the lyrics with often humorous Japanese lyrics. He also makes his own original songs, as the ones heard in IIDX are such. His career started by being signed with the Japanese music label AVEX and releasing singles and albums, but in 1999, he began a career arranging and re-arranging music written by popular Japanese composers, beginning with the single "Love Machine" by female group Morning Musume, which had very large popularity and got DANCE☆MAN's name known in this business.

DANCE☆MAN is very secretive about his identity to the public, as he is never seen without wearing a large afro hairstyle wig and sideburns with large sunglasses and does not release his personal info on websites or in CDs. He performs and records with a band who he aptly names "THE BANDMAN," consisting of 8 musicians and backup vocalists. He formed a group of 4 girls to do the lead singing in his song "We are Disっ娘よっつ打ち命" from IIDX HAPPY SKY, who he names "Disっ娘."
