notes: 'Also known as DJ COTTON.

  Akihito Ito was the main member of Blasterhead, which was at different points a
  music unit of several composers and a solo project of Ito.

  He disappeared in 2013 following the financial failure to develop Makki, Shoujobyou
  -Lyrical pop World''s end- under the Blasterhead brand; he was scheduled to DJ at
  the Aki-Bug Super event on March 9 but failed to show. In his final tweet on March
  4, he suggested that he might attempt suicide.'
