Career

He was influenced early in his career by Tetsuya Komuro, and began to learn to play the synthesizer. Following the popularity of J-pop remixes, he became interested in club music.^[1]

Beginning with beatmania IIDX 11 RED, Saito started to use the teranoid name. He stated that he did not wish to be restricted to a certain style of music by his identity, so he used other names for different styles of music.^[2] ^[3] Gradually, he revealed that he also used the names StripE and Eagle in recording songs.^[3]
