He used to be famous for having been deaf since 2002, so he was once called "the rebirth of Ludwig van Beethoven in Japan". However, since the issue of kiss-and-tell article about him on a weekly magazine published in February 2014, it was revealed that most of his compositions was written by Takashi Niigaki Takashi Niigaki, who conducted his compositions dedicated for "Onimusha," Japanese video game. Besides, all the biography about his music career and his handicap was proved to be false.
