Less than a year later he wrote his first BEMANI song for [[AC KBM 2nd|KEYBOARDMANIA 2ndMIX]], [[Ride on the Light]]. Shortly after he sound directed / supervised seven beatmania IIDX arcade games in a row, starting with [[AC 4th style|beatmania IIDX 4th style]]. He worked alongside [[Takayuki Ishikawa|dj TAKA]] from 4th to [[AC 8th style|8th]], along with [[Takehiko Fujii|SLAKE]] (who he once managed) in [[AC 9th style|9th]] and [[AC 10th style|10th]]. He also contributed covers / notecharts for pop'n music alongside his beatmania IIDX duties.
