New Featured Artist: -45
New Featured Artist: -45
Famed for composing songs for 07th Expansion's cult classic Umineko no Naku Koro ni, the legend -45 (a.k.a. Akito Yoshikawa) finally joins our Featured Artists!
-45's sound has been a constant presence on osu! for more than a decade. Introduced through AngelHoney's 2010 beatmap for Aci-L and further popularized by Natteke's 2011 beatmap of Eiji Kuinbii, this old-school electro sound has become a staple to circle clickers worldwide.
There's no shortage of -45 tunes around here. We've picked up an unfathomable 117 songs for -45's Featured Artist listing, all of which are available for mapping until literally the end of time.
