Who Is LED?

[1306]

I'm a little confused. There's L.E.D-G, L.E.D LIGHT, L.E.D, & L.E.D LIGHT-G. Are they the same people?

[rmz]

Yes. All of those aliases are Toshiyuki Kakuta.

I'm not surprised not many of his newer songs haven't made it into Supernova. I know one of the Ultramixes did get one of his songs but I think it was remixed by someone.

Unless my memory decieves me, I don't think any of L.E.D.'s songs were remixed for any DDR game.

There was Outer Limits (Akira Ishihara mix) and The Strong Jaeger (UFO! Remix) from UM3.

Haha, wow.

When I read the title to this thread, it started with me thinking, "This is why I'm starting to hate DDR-only people."

But with your question explained, I can see it is already answered.

L.E.D. writes lots of good stuff, like the Strong Jaeger, which I now want to play.

UM1:
INFINITE PRAYER
MGS2 mission R

UM2:
LOVE IS DREAMINESS
THE BIG VOYAGER

UM3:
OUTER LIMITS (Remix)
The Strong Jaeger (Remix)

UM Songpacks:
INFINITE PRAYER -floating flock style-
OUTER LIMITS
SOMETHING WONDERFUL

You are right in saying that none of his later stuff has been crossed over, but his songs are often used in CS releases and the Ultramix series. It's too bad there aren't any recent crossovers, because some of them would make great notecharts. Even some of his old stuff would be great (Erasermotor Maximum).

Ah, thank you. I can never remember the songpack remixes.

[iconoclasm]

Yes they are... In bemani many composers use many pseudonyms, is a little bit confusion...

NAOKI...
I always thought LED being a Beatmania artist, since Hellscaper in Hellscaper (Slashing Mix) was in the Core Remix. Hell, It even had a genre for it: GABBAH. So, what's Gabbah? Does L.E.D make this kind of music besides Hellscaper?

GABBAH = GABBA

It's not it's own kind of genre. There are other Gabba songs in beatmania and pop'n and the style dates back some time ago. And then there is Nu-style Gabba which is a specific genre for slower gabba songs, like gigadelic and ay carumba!! There is also Nuskool Gabba which is for the even slower gabba songs.

Am I wrong, or there's a L.E.D. song in DDR Extreme 2? (a Infinite Prayer, if remember well)

[LAMBORGHINI FCUKER]

Correct. It has the Ultramix steps plus Festival's revised steps as Challenge (on Single only).

Only the UM3 songs are remixes. If you're counting everything he's done in DDR though, you forgot The Earth Light, and Genom Screams.

L.E.D. hates gabba... or unlease 250bpm... check out the sound commentary about this song
