Artist Information

Profile

Osamu Kubota majored in linguistics at the French literature faculty of the University of Tokyo. His debut in music was a band keyboardist in 1989. Prior to that, he began piano lessons at the age of four. In 1999, he joined KONAMI at the recommendation of TaQ, good-cool and dj TAKA. Being one of the most unique artists to step into BEMANI, Osamu provided the games with a variety of tunes, often incorporating sounds from all over the world. Unlike other artists in the series, Osamu was more driven to a more classical sound, offering jazz, classical and swing pieces.

Aside from BEMANI, he works extensively with both TaQ and onoken on TaQ's ongaq production company and recording studio. Osamu also participated in a range of video games, television and movie scores, albums, and band projects.
