Profile

Yoshitaka Nishimura, better known as DJ Yoshitaka or DJ YOSHITAKA, is a BEMANI artist who made his debut in BEMANI in beatmaniaIIDX 11 IIDX RED. He was one of the sound directors in IIDX RED alongside dj TAKA and Tatsh. He is well known for his trance/pop songs, especially his CaptivAte series of songs, his contributions to the jubeat series like Evans and FLOWER, and his first boss song in the DanceDanceRevolution series Valkyrie dimension. His songs are also known for having a lot of scratching, including some for Des-ROW. DJ YOSHITAKA made his DanceDanceRevolution debut in DDR SuperNOVA2, with Vem brincar (with TOMOSUKE, who also made his debut in DDR SuperNOVA2 as well). He was the head sound director for the beatmaniaIIDX series from GOLD (2007) to SIRIUS (2009). His position as sound director for the series was met with mixed reception amongst the non-Japanese BEMANI crowd.
