"Sota Fujimori, an artist affiliated with Konami's Dance Dance Revolution and Beatmania IIDX series' recently announced the release of his first album [there are some studio shots at the link also featured in the second video below].
In his music, you might notice he's not afraid to just put synths all over the place, he even has a track called 100% minimoo-G - lots of fun.
Beatmania IIDX [last video below] is supposed to be a DJ simulator, with an interface of 7 buttons resembling a keyboard and a turntable, but I'd say it's really more of an MPC equivalent of Guitar Hero (though it's much older than Guitar Hero). Notes scroll down the screen and you hit the buttons or spin the turntable accordingly, and for each press or spin, a sample will trigger so you're actually sort of performing the song. The game has a really steep difficulty curve, with the hardest songs having upwards of 2000 "notes" over the course of about two minutes."
