In the winter of his second year of high school, he decided to go to a music college, and later entered the Department of Composition at Kunitachi College of Music. After that, Sakabe studied under Toshihiko Sahashi—a composer and arranger—, while working as his assistant.{{cite web |title=Professional Background 坂部剛・音歴|url=https://www.ashbunny.com/artist-go-sakabe |access-date=May 27, 2022 |website=Ash Bunny |language=ja |archive-date=August 5, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210805191117/https://www.ashbunny.com/artist-go-sakabe |url-status=live }}
