Tomosuke Funaki (舟木智介, Funaki Tomosuke; born January 1) is a Japanese composer who has contributed to the Bemani series of music video games. He has produced songs for Beatmania, Beatmania IIDX, Pop'n Music, Dance Maniax, Guitar Freaks, DrumMania, Mambo a Gogo, and Dance Dance Revolution (Dancing Stage). He collaborated with the Shibuya-Kei vocalist "EeL" to provide original songs for BEMANI under his "EeL" pseudonym.
Between 2000 - 2004 Funaki produced a series of Lounge Music compositions to accompany games created by Bemani Works using the name "Orange Lounge". The tracks were recorded with French-speaking Japanese vocalist Shizue Tokui. In all they recorded just 14 tracks, with another eight or more extended remixes Orange Lounge's signature track, "Love Is Orange" is a reference to the 1967 instrumental hit "Love Is Blue" by Paul Mauriat, whose work Funaki has cited as an influence.
"Nick boys" is the pseudonym for his Hip hop-influenced collaboration with Des-ROW. "Zektbach" is the pseudonym used for his classical music influenced concept pieces by forms of fantasy worlds, usually with choirs and classical instrumentation.
