Profile
A long-time contributor to BEMANI, Osamu Migitera started off as a sound data analyzer in pop'n music and IIDX before he started writing his own music. He is best known for his happy hardcore songs and his rock tracks under his Des-ROW alias, though he's also dabbled in trance, rap, and poppy songs as well.
Osamu's first song for BEMANI was the opening theme of beatmania CORE REMIX. Shortly after he composed INNOVATION for pop'n music 5, though he mostly worked on beatmania as a sound director alongside Takehiko Fujii until its end in 2002. Afterwards Osamu has mainly worked on pop'n music, and has served as the sound director of several pop'n music games, as well for the spin off game ポップンリズミン. Recently Osamu has also branched out into almost every BEMANI franchise out right now, including jubeat and DanceDanceRevolution. He's also appeared in several GuitarFreaks and DrumMania installments.
Starting with REFLEC BEAT groovin'!! Upper, Osamu Migitera became the REFLEC BEAT series' producer, and was one of the sound directors of the REFLEC BEAT series alongisde DJ TOTTO until KONAMI confirmed in 2018 that REFLEC BEAT 悠久のリフレシア would be the last installment in the series.
2020年之后，右寺修没有再给BEMANI提供任何曲目。

After Osamu developed an interest in the death metal genre, he was making jokes about "death pop" and other things with "death" in front of them, along with Akehiro Hidaka and Naoki189, and Takehiko remarked they were like a "death row". Osamu liked the sound of this, and took the Des-ROW alias for his metal song INNOVATION.
