KAGE stepped down as director of the beatmania IIDX series after beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem, with Kenji Watanabe taking his place. He then served as the as producer of the series from beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle until about halfway through beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA, when DJ Yoshitaka took over as producer. (Yoshitaka's first full producing credit, though, was for beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL.) KAGE then worked as the producer of the REFLEC BEAT series until the series' end in 2018.

It is currently unknown if KAGE still works at KONAMI.
