i feel really stupid asking this question, but...
is Naoki a boy or girl?
I heard somewhere it was a boy, but there are some songs where its just a girl singing, or just a boy....
I also heard naoki has other names to go by...does anyone know these also?
biggrin.gif thanks

EDIT: i didnt mean to call Naoki "it", but...what else was i supposed to say lol.

Click at your risk.

You probably think I'm kidding, but that's a scan from an interview that was in Arcadia a while back.

Naoki Maeda is the best MALE composer in the DDR series. (I kow you will argue with this, somebody.) The girl singer you hear in his songs is Paula Terry; who is often uncredited on the song label. Also, Naoki goes by the following names:
NAOKI
NM
OMEGA
Z
ZZ
STM
DJ NAGUREO
Luv Unlimited
... The list goes on. I know that there are namy more of his aliases out there. I just can't think of any.

I never knew that Naoki made the Max songs... Konami should fire all morons and promote Naoki Maeda to make all future DDR songs.

Here's a portion of an interview from the April '01 issue of Tips and Tricks Magazine, showing how Naoki got his start at Konami:
Naoki, from an interview in the April 2001 issue of Tips and Tricks magazine wrote:
(How did you get started at Konami?)
I was a university student and I spent my free time involved with music-related activities. During my senior year, I went to a certain music audition and was selected. I started out learning from a certain music arranger. So, I got my start in the music industry as someone's assistant...I had some personal issues at the time and I couldn't leave my hometown of Osaka to go out to Tokyo. I then came across an ad in a music magazine that said that Konami was hiring. I passed the company entrance exams and started at Konami.


And to think that Naoki gave up going to Tokyo to work for a major music company just to work at Konami. He just became like the best composer in DDR, if not, the gaming world.

GUY!! Strangly, my friend says he's a girl (saw him as dancer from Max2) because of "special features"..........I kept telling him, but he wouldn't believe me! Also, did ya know Naoki M is an anamon(Rearrange his name) to make Konami!!!

Also: He MAKES the music! He doesn't sing them!

Correct. STM remixed Paranoia Eternal for some sort of musicianship contest for DDR 5th Mix. He's made other songs that aren't in DDR; Stepmania players might recognise STM from songs like Vanish Into Thin Air and Gleam In The Dark.

For some reason I'm thinking he might have a Muzie* page. I'll look around a bit and see if I can find it.

*Muzie is some sort of Japanese site where independent artists can upload their music.

EDIT: Here we go.
