dai in 2011
dai is a composer who began working with Ryukishi07 starting with Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai. He has since become a staff member of 07th Expansion. dai is known for composing "you", considered to be Higurashi's most iconic song.
History[]
While producing the Higurashi Question Arcs, Ryukishi and his brother were using royalty-free music from various websites and tried to make the volume for them all match, which resulted in there being a lot of noise. dai sent them an email criticizing the music, and Ryukishi sent an email in response asking what kind of music dai would make instead. Ryukishi thought he'd blown off dai, but he actually replied back with some music tracks of his own; Ryukishi and the rest of the 07th Expansion staff decided to hire dai then.[1][2]
