Yoshitaka Nishimura

Yoshitaka Nishimura (西村宜隆) (born February 9, 1979, Kyushu), better known as DJ Yoshitaka, is a composer for Konami's line of Bemani games. He has been making solo songs since the release of Beatmania IIDX 11: IIDX Red, though he has had previous Bemani involvement as a member of Osamu Migitera's Des-ROW group. He often composes for the Beatmania IIDX and the Pop'n music series, and then began composing for the Guitar Freaks & DrumMania and the Dance Dance Revolution series in 2005 and 2007, respectively. DJ Yoshitaka still often works with Des-ROW for some Pop'n music songs. In the Reflec Beat series, DJ Yoshitaka regularly appears alongside fellow composer Sota Fujimori as a double act, Venus.
