Tomoyuki Hamada (Japanese: 浜田知幸; born 11 October 1985),[1] known professionally as t+pazolite (トパゾライト, topazoraito), is a Japanese electronic musician that frequently contributes music to rhythm games.
Hamada started writing music since third grade, having been a fan of rhythm game music from a young age. He had a period where he did not work on music for some time due to harsh criticism on samples he posted to bulletin board systems. After graduating from university, he worked as an IT engineer and only produced music as a side job. He quit his job as an engineer to focus on music production around 2014. He has stated that his music takes inspiration from Japanese folk music, Shibuya-kei, guitar pop and bossa nova.[2]
