Playlist Manager for RADIOSEGA. Trusted Editor for VGMdb.

• Country: South Africa
• Date of Birth: 2000-08-21
• First Soundtrack Purchase: SEGA RALLY 2006 ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK
• Playlist Manager since: June 29, 2020

Frequents various SEGA websites for music-related info. Cares deeply about Production Credits. Unnofficially heads the SEGA side of VGMdb's product line. Half the year, I host the weekly podcast/LiVE show Individual on RadioSEGA. It's a Wednesday show in which I go over the histories and sounds of SEGA sound designers (or at the very least, the musicians with substantial ties to SEGA). A lot of edits you see during the second half of the year, it's to do with me researching for Individual.

Todo list

• Complete Harmony 1994 joins (finished all in development section)
• Rewrite early 90's R&D pages so Management is separate from history, and AM divisions have Management pages.
• Complete UGA staff page (last finished 野田 恵市)
• Complete Hitmaker column profiles (last finished Masaru Kurosawa) (skipped 井上 太郎, 太田 篤史, 村松 梨恵子, 世永 玲生, 大貫 尚紀, 宮内 理恵, 大村 遊, 清水 亜紀)
