The Ages of Bemani Artists

So, this is a thread to discuss the ages of Bemani artists & to be shocked once you find out just how old some of them actually are.

I'll start with a few shockers:

sanodg ("Playball" from IIDX GOLD CS) is actually 43.

Yoko Shimomura (commissioned to do "Majestic Fire" from pop'n Carnival) is really 44.

But, the real shocker is Yasuhiko Fukuda. He's the guy that did MASARA from pop'n 2. He is actually 54!

Super Star Mitsuru is ONLY ONE years old

---

30?

35-40

---

"Naoki Maeda was born in Toyonaka City, Osaka Prefecture, Japan on April 28th,1961 "

He's 50 now.

---

---

Christ, that's half a century. This guy is probably still going to pump out new songs until he's laid to rest.

---

I know, that actually really surprises me that he's that old. He doesn't look it; he looks late 30's IMO.

---

SLAKE does not have an age.

BUT HE WAS HOT IN THAT PICTURE.
he's cool, regardless.

Before asking what can easily be Googled...

Kors k appears to be 28.
Sota is 32.
... can't seem to find Tag right away and I would like to know.

---

Tag is irrelevant.

---

Fixed

---

Akira Yamaoka is 44.
U1-ASAMi is 40.

---

FUN FACT: virkato was born in 1873 and died in 1974.

Yoshitaka is 33. L.E.D. is 39. Asaki will forever remain a mystery.

---

Kanako Hoshino was born in 1979. She looks a little bit younger than her natural age.

---

That's Asians for you.

It's amazing what bathing in the blood of retired BeForU members does for the skin.

---

And Super Star -Mitsuru- ?

---

I love this post so much HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Well what do you expect, DDR/Bemani isn't exactly new...if they all started in late 90s/early 00s, you could guess that some of them are quite deep into their middle-age by now.
