Yuji Takahashi

Staff Information

Profile

Yuji Takahashi, better known under his alias VJ YUZ, is a former member of the beatmania IIDX team's "VJ Army", who created videos for the series. His videos often contained art by GOLI. In addition to beatmania IIDX, he was also a staff member for the KEYBOARDMANIA series: a CG designer for the first game, and the director of its two sequels.

Although Yuji stepped down as a beatmania IIDX staff member after 6th style, he continued to occasionally create videos for the series until 9th style, his final BEMANI project.

Aliases

  • VJ YUZ / YUZ

Trivia

  • In Happy Wedding's song and video comments, both dj TAKA and GOLI respectively acknowledge that one of the beatmania IIDX male VJs got married at the time, but don't mention whom. Given that Yuji stepped down from the main visual staff after 6th style (later games only credit him as "special thanks"), wasn't involved with 7th style, only made one video in 8th style, and left BEMANI altogether after 9th, it's speculated to be him.
    • dj TAKA also mentions that Happy Wedding's original title was called HAPPY WEDDING ○○○!, leaving three letters for a VJ's name, further suggesting it was Yuji/VJ YUZ [1].
