DJ Yoshitaka

[kannazuki]

Unrelated but...

For the first time ever, I cleared Tashikamono on DistorteD CS. Now, I've been trying to clear this song since I got the game. The reason why I didn't clear it was because I couldn't clear it skillwise, but I kept getting distracted by Yoshitaka. I don't get it, seriously. This is the same problem I had with INFERNO - I just can't clear the song unless I don't look at the video if Yoshitaka's in it. I am now officially a hopeless Yoshitaka Nishimura fangirl.

I made the Wikipedia article a few days ago:
Yoshitaka Nishimura - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some info may not be accurate. Most of them are a copy-paste from the Japanese one. I wrote the intro myself. (I might be wrong in some parts)

*presses the EDIT REVOLUTION switch on*

Nice job, t7r, for that article!

Anyway, at the intro, you seem to forgot DJ Yoshitaka's earlier involvements with Des-Row.

Quite a few misconceptions there..
Tatsh had a song on IIDX 10th. And Yoshitaka had been making stuff long before RED, just not solo..

And Yoshitaka had been a sound producer since RED! xD

dj TAKA I think was the sound producer in 11. Tatsh was the sound producer in 12 and 13.

I'm still under the impression of the

CONCEPT of IIDX RED/side:SOUND/by TAKA

...whoever's name is there is the sound producer. Someone clarify please.

Have you ever watched the endings for IIDX RED, HS and DD? There isn't just one sound designer/producer credited in each one.

YouTube - beatmania IIDX RED ending <- IIDX RED ending, credits Yoshitaka, Taka and Tatsh.
YouTube - beatmania IIDX HAPPY SKY ending <- IIDX HAPPY SKY ending, credits Yoshitaka, Taka and Tatsh.
YouTube - Beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD ending credits <- IIDX DistorteD ending, credits Yoshitaka, Taka and Tatsh.

Although he may have been in Des-ROW for awhile before he started making stuff solo, I couldn't find any information anywhere where he composed stuff for Des-ROW before Pop'n 12, which came out roughly at the same time as IIDX RED. I guess Chihiro may know.

DJ YOSHITAKA first appeared on the bemani scene with "D.A.N.C.E.!" from IIDX RED. He was scouted by Naoki, who recognized his ability. Since his turntable abilities were very good, he was called upon by Osamu Migitera to participate in "Close my eyes for me" (still on IIDX red) and he became involved as a member of Des-Row soon after that. His self fashioned title is "IIDX's Comical Boss" (IIDX no Shabekuri Taishou or SKT for short.) Coincidentally, his first song for pop'n was MY, credited as Yoshi-kun to Aramaki Youko-san and he also participated in the song 雪上断火 (Hip Rock 3) as a part of Des-Row, which strangely mirrors what happens in IIDX.

So yeah, that's basically Yoshi-kun's starting point, from Wikipedia, few stuff cleaned from mixi and whatnot.

So, guys, we can't confirm Yoshi-kun's eariler involvements with Des-ROW at the moment, right?

[[x]Pepe[x]]

Guess not..

I know he helped with Endless cruising.. Which was also the same year as Red.. :/

Yup, this pretty much sums it up.
All I can say for now, is probably that Yoshitaka was with Des-ROW from IIDX RED/Pop'n 12/GFdmV on, since they were all released in the same year of 2004. I don't think there were any earlier involvements than that, assuming that more of the hip-rock duties were taken care of by ALPHA (アルファ) back then.

[shungokusatsu]

I found a misinterpretation I tried to edit on the Wikipedia page, but was changed back. Taiyou no Battle (Pop'n 13) is not Yoshitaka with Tsuyoshi, but Yoshitaka and Yoshihiko Koezuka. Yoshi + Yoshi = 2 Yoshi = Tsuyoshi, as stated on the Bemani Expo page:ƒ|ƒbƒvƒ“ƒNƒCƒY‹ÈA

What, I was always under the impression that wac did Message Song.

Now that I think about it..
Yoshitaka has a release on every version of GFDM starting with V..


Same thing starting pop'n 12...


>_>
Woah..
So I guess we can classify this guy as a not only IIDX artist then? :P
