He was featured in beatmania GOTTAMIX in 1998 and has since made several songs for Konami's music games such as: beatmania IIDX, pop'n music, and GuitarFreaks & DrumMania.
He and NO+CHIN are currently working together as the unit "Groove Rockers". He's also in charge of the band "ANIplugged", which performs unplugged versions of anime songs.
He started the shop "GUHROOVY" in the streets of Harajuku in 1995. It opened as Japan's first Mixtape/CD specialty store with connections with New York DJs. This year they will celebrate our 15th anniversary and continue to release Hardcore music.
