[edit] Discography

Toshiyuki Kakuta primarily composes for the Beatmania IIDX series of Konami Bemani titles. Formerly under the pseudonym of "L.E.D.LIGHT", he has since shortened his name to "L.E.D.", with a -G suffix primarily being applied to his more hardcore-type music. The use of all three aliases has been done as well, creating "L.E.D.LIGHT-G".
