Behind The Drums: Tomoyuki Hamada @ t+pazolite

Born October 10th, 1985, Tomoyuki Hamada (浜田知幸) is an hardcore-speedcore composer and one of the eldest members of the HARDCORE TANO*C music circle. In activity since 2004, his first works include a wide variety of Bemani Simulation Files (BMS for short) behind the signature of many aliases; for his musical compositions, however, he sticks with the t+pazolite alias. He's the owner of the C.H.S. music label (standing for "Cutie & Headshaking Sounds"), under which all of his albums are published.

The t+pazolite alias has to be read as 'topazolite', referencing the yellow-green variety of the andradite garnet mineral. Still, the reason behind this nickname choice is (and possibly will remain) a mystery, as Tomoyuki Hamada himself has admitted in a late 2015 interview that he simply forgot about it.

Being introduced to Taiko grounds thanks to the first edition of the Tenkaichi Otogesai cross-over tournament, t+pazolite eventually made it having some songs made especially for Bandai Namco's drumming franchise, as well as being a guest in several of the Taiko Team's Nicovideo livestream events.

Outside of Taiko gaming, his scores can be found on SOUND VOLTEX as contest-winning entries, as well as being generously relevant in Taito's Groove Coaster series and Sega's Maimai and Chunithm.
