He attended Kansai University and earned a degree in Philosophy, Religious Studies, and Cultural Anthropology. After graduating, he worked as a manga illustrator and anime music composer.
He started his career as video game music composer in 1991, when he presented some demos of his work to Square , and was promptly hired to create the sound effects for Romancing Saga. Square then asked him to compose the soundtrack of Secret of Mana, which became a big hit. While at Square, he went on to compose the soundtrack to the next game in the Mana series, Seiken Densetsu 3, as well as Soukaigi, which was developed by Yuke's.
After finishing his work on Soukaigi in 1997, he left Square and subsequently founded his own game development company called Sacnoth while taking some of Square's staff with him. They went on to develop Koudelka, to which he acted as a Concept Designer, Game Planner, Scenario Writer, Producer and Composer. Due to friction within the company, the game did not turn out exactly as he wanted it to be, and became a commercial failure.
After development on Koudelka was completed in 1999, he resigned from his position as CEO and left the company. In 2001, he founded a new company focussing solely on music called Norstrilia Ltd., which is still active today. That same year he started working on a Taiwanese MMORPG called Chou Bukyou Taisen, for which he took the role of Concept Designer, Game Planner and Composer. However, development was discontinued after the closed beta test, and the game never saw a release.
He has since released several original albums, composed the soundtrack to the MMORPG Concerto Gate with Kenji Ito, and composed the soundtracks to several adult visual novels developed by Puzzlebox and Ciel.

ゆーすけNY - 旧ぴあの男爵
ピアニート公爵はもう１０何年以上前から神として崇めてます。
かてぃんさんとか菊池亮太さんとか新世代の天才ももちろん大尊敬していて好きなんですが、やっぱクラシカルなアレンジではこのお方こそ随一で異次元レベルだよなぁ…
ぽっち
思わずコメントせずにはいられない名演奏！！
0:59 からのメロディーの弾き方がオリジナル音源を彷彿とさせます…
アレンジも演奏も逸品です！！
AlexanderJanzPiano
02:25 The increase up to that moment was breathtakingly good.
作田健太郎
スーファミからのファンですがアレンジの理想系と感じます。このクオリティで楽曲集を作ってほしいなぁ。
最近のスクエニさんはいい意味で変わってきてくれて嬉しいです。

Yui once again proving why he's the best pianist featured on this channel and one of the best pianist in the world. I urge everyone to check out his personal YouTube channel especially his Gunbuster piano suite.

ちょこんといるラビに癒され
森下唯さんの素晴らしいピアノでもう泣きそう

公爵様の手に掛かると、こんなにも魅惑的なアレンジに…。体が違う世界に持っていかれそうになります。
