Yoshinori Sunahara

Yoshinori Sunahara (砂原良徳, born September 13, 1969) is a Japanese record producer, DJ, and musician from Toyohira-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. Active since 1991, he played in amateur bands in Sapporo before joining Denki Groove in 1991. He remained with the group until his departure in 1999. He began a full solo career in 1995. His debut album, "CROSSOVER", favored sampling over analog synthesizers and pursued a mondo-lounge approach. The later album "LOVEBEAT" moved toward a simpler electronic sound. Sunahara has also worked extensively as a producer and remixer. Later, he became a member of METAFIVE and TESTSET. Associated with downtempo and electronica and linked with Kioon Music, he contributed "Kamisama no Iutoori (神様のいうとおり)" as the opening theme of "Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei".
