I love Yoji's song Samurai (Keyboard Cowboys), it's got dialogue from the movie Hackers.

Yoji is nothing anymore... a caricature of what he used to be.
Seriously though, there used to be huge parties in Japan with people all decked out in cyberdog with their hair braided (they were called mehanikas) that would fill out 2000 person concert halls for his sets... now that stuff is all on the decline for him.
Personally, I like him... but there is an insanely more talented Japanese DJ playing in the same vain called Energy-Dai. He has only produced two tracks, and doesnt have a visual gimmick like Yoji, but Dai has superior mixing skills, superior track selection, and superior vibe at all his parties.
He plays everything from Hard Trance to Hard House to Techno on 3 turntables with constant effects going. What is sick about it is how it seems he is never mixing... he spends more time dancing that mixing and his mixes are still insanely tight.
Currently in love with:
Thrillseekers - Synaethesia (Ferry Corsten Mix)
Ferry Corsten - It's Time! (Ferry Corsten mix)

A fair amount of it is shit... the til tears do us part remix for instance.
However, when he plays some stuff like Gaz West productions... you cant really fault that.
Completely different to the prog/trance stuff this board was made for, but it doesnt make it "garbage" or make Yoji a "cyber-cheese freak". He is actually a family man, and though a bit arrogant, he is a stand up guy.
The man who created the Osaka club area died recently, and all the major DJs from Osaka showed up and played one track as a send off. Yoji showed up in a black suit like everyone else, and played one of his early underground tracks for someone every really respected. Something about that doesnt scream "cyber-cheese freak" to me.
