He also has a career and a great deal of experience working worldwide as a video game composer.

He has played the guitar in a prog rock band called Happy Family in the late 90s. He worked on two albums, which were released by Cuneiform Records in the US. After the band broke up, he has worked on a number of productions for major artists in Japanese music industry, starting Dugo around this time.
