DJ Yoshitaka

Yoshitaka Nishimura is a BEMANI artist who made his debut in 2004's beatmania IIDX 11 IIDX RED, appearing as one of the sound directors in his debut game alongside veteran dj TAKA and Tatsh. Yoshitaka was the head beatmania IIDX sound director from beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD through SIRIUS, after which L.E.D. took over. He's only made three original songs in the series since then.

Shortly after he stepped down as sound director following SIRIUS, Yoshitaka assumed head sound direction for REFLEC BEAT, position that he would retain until REFLEC BEAT colette when he assumed as a general director instead, as well as sound producing SOUND VOLTEX BOOTH alongside dj TAKA. Since then his BEMANI appearances have been rather scarce; most of his appearances in the past few years have been in unlock and cross-game events, or as a vocalist.

Soundwise, Yoshitaka is a pretty versatile artist, making a lot of trance, house, R&B, hardcore and drum'n bass songs, he's also a very skilled DJ, being versed on scratching and live mixing. He's also keen on pop music, often collaborating with artists as ERi and Kanako Hoshino.

Since March 20th, 2019, Yoshitaka is now an Executive Officer of the Konami Amusement branch.

Yoshitaka is currently the producer for the following BEMANI series: beatmania IIDX, pop'n music, and SOUND VOLTEX.
