So it seems that my birthday is in 3 days?
I decided that I want a Pop'n Music ASC.
In case you're still interested, I'll update on Des-ROW.
Some random facts you probably didn't need to know of Des-ROW Group's members:

Des-ROW (leader, guitarist, vocals)

(Des-ROW wrote that he clipped his right hand for obvious reasons. In other words, he stuck up the middle finger. I knew that even before I translated his caption. Haha.)
Des-ROW is actually involved in writing up patents for the Pop'n Music machines. Interesting.
He likes to play guitar, swim, surf, and play soccer. I believe he plays soccer in the morning on a daily basis since he was late for both AOU2007 and Pop'n Bukansai from it. He also dislikes baseball and catepillars. He apologized recently for not updated his site for nearly 4 months and promised that will commit to it as well as his blog. One of the entries from last year described his trip to America, and he commented on how large the food is here for such a cheap price. Now I can actually confirm that he is involved with Reiji Sakurai. Reiji even confirmed it himself when the question was presented to him on his site from a fan. Well, Des-ROW has been his mentor and messenger ever since Reiji joined BEMANI in 2004. He goes under the name "leap-d" whenever he works with Reiji and usually helps in the music composition, lyrics, and mostly advice. It was quite obvious in [Vivid]For Dear~ from Pop'n Music 12 since Des-ROW's guitars sound like they're in the background playing. For those who said I was wrong, I told you so.

mur.mur.kurotoh (2nd guitarist, vocals)

(mur.mur. in a recent photoshoot during a conversation with his other band. He actually got his hair back to the half mowhak, half shaved look though. Des-ROW did make a good comment on his perm too.)
mur.mur.kurotoh works in his own band, which I shall not reveal the name of. However, he is still an active member of Des-ROW Group. In May of last year, he visited NYC (New York City) for his birthday and stayed for a while. I surprisngly didn't even know of his visit and didn't get the chance to meet him in person. He even stayed in a town 26 minutes away from mine and yet, my town is still closer to NYC. It would have been grand if I did. He has finally completed his entire NYC report and he stayed here for about 3 weeks. From the looks of it, he didn't seem to have alot of money in the beginning, but got some from a friend and something called "Japan Society". The comments and opinion he has about NYC are very interesting for a foreigner's perspective and I actually agree with some of the stuff he presents. Plus, I would have loved to see him fight a guy in order to go up the stairs to his apartment due to Asian stereotypes anyday. Oh yeah, the song "murmur twins" from Beatmania IIDX has absolutely no relation to him whatsoever.

Naoki189 (bassist, bg vocals)

(Naoki189 drinking in his own home. Des-ROW decided to visit him before the Pop'n Bukansai since Naoki189 wasn't going to be present for the concert.)
The "189" stands for his his height. In other words, he is 189 cm long, or 6.2 feet tall. (He's really tall! ...or at least compared to my height.) Des-ROW also calls him "wanpaku" occasionally. Not much has been on him, but I am quite sure he also does the bass for mur.mur.kurotoh's band sometimes. Many of the fans were surprised when Des-ROW mentioned him and showed these pictures since we haven't seen him ever since the Pop'n Music Artists LIVE4.

YU (rapper)

(Tsuboi YU from his rap band, ALPHA, in their latest album, Gone Going Gone!)
YU also is doing work in his rap band, ALPHA, and continues to be an active member of Des-ROW Group and Des-ROW Alpha. If you have wondered why YU's face isn't shown in any footage of the live performances, this is why. Apparently, YU works with Des-ROW against his record label's wishes, so they have to conceal his identity whenever he works with Konami. The also explains that name change from "Des-ROW feat. Tsuboi for ALPHA" in Daikenkai to just "Des-ROW Gumi" or "Des-ROW Alpha" for later songs. I'm surpised since they got one of ALPHA's songs liscensed in Pop'n Music 14. Lastly, YU obviously grew out his hair now.

(Other members, not featured all the time. Des-ROW Group is usually followed by "Special...")
DJ Yoshitaka (DJ, vocals, guitar)
Yes, DJ Yosthiaka is part of his group. He does the scratching for the Hip-Rock songs as well as other songs that Des-ROW makes. He sung in SUN/Kousen in case you didn't know, right after YU's rap intro, before mur.mur.kurotoh sings. He also plays guitar and plays for Des-ROW in case mur.mur.kurotoh can't make it. One of his performances was the GFdm vs. CHOKE SLEEPER performance. Also, he filled in for YU to rap for Des-ROW at the Pop'n Bukansai.

wac (piano)
Wac is also known as dj.wac, or the artist who made murmur twins. He performs as the pianist when Des-ROW plays live and yes, he is the guy in the cat suit. I just love his voice though, it's so cute. No wonder he was made to dress up as a neko! His piano skills own everyone as well.

Death-o (drums)
He is the recent drummer for both live and song recordings. If you didn't know, he also is the one who sings, or yells, "It's not a grain..." in Retrospect Road from Pop'n Music 14. There's another drummer, who participated in the LIVE4 as well as the D. album recording, but it doesn't seem he is a full member like Death-o.

Deku
I don't know why I included him, but he still is there. Anyways, he's the guy that updates Des-ROW's news on his website, but his relation to him, I don't know.

Yes, I hope you enjoyed that....somehow. Or at least, I did. >>
Des-ROW was recently at AOU2007 and Pop'n Bukansai. As I said earlier, he was late for both of them from soccer, except the second day of the Pop'n Bukansai, which was a live performance.

AOU2007

Des-ROW was scheduled to be interviewed with DJ Taka by Naoki. I found a video of his interview as well as some pictures and I noticed that he likes to talk slowly and put emphasis in his speech. Well, actually it could also be a result that he had to think of what to say quite quickly and sound like he knows what he's saying at the same time. He reminds me greatly of a Social Studies teacher I had in junior high. Plus, they used Meikyou Shisui as his background music which made it own 10 times more.

Pop'n Bukansai (Day 1)

This was on the first day of the Pop'n Bukansai. It was basically when wac, TOMOSUKE, DJ Yoshitaka, and Seiya Murai were seated around a heated table to converse in front of the fans. I guess is seems like a more comforatable type of panel discussion. Anyways, Des-ROW just ran in on stage and jumped into place next to Yoshitaka and explained why he was late, which is why he is holding up his soccer shirt here. I find it ironic that his number is "69" and his birthday is on 9/6. He wore that shirt at the GFdm vs. CHOKE SLEEPER performance too.

Pop'n Bukansai (Day 2)

Day 2 was a whole day of live performances by several bemani artists. DJ Yoshitaka filled in for YU that performance as the rapper. Naoki189 was there and mur.mur.kurotoh also performed.
