A solo artist since 1999, his songs blend rock and classical touches.
If you want to hear what he does, put on 'Emu - For My Dear' or 'Tsuki no Uta.' That's the sound right there.
He started with the album 'Mizérable' in 1999 and kept putting out records like 'Rebirth' and 'Moon' through the 2000s. Songs like 'Emu - For My Dear' and 'Ash' show that mix of rock drive and something more ornate. He's one of those figures who built a lane in Japanese music without ever sounding quite like anyone else.
He went solo in 1999 after some earlier band work. The albums came steadily, 'Rebirth' in 2000, 'Moon' in 2002, 'Diabolos' in 2005, and he kept collaborating with people like Miyavi along the way. There was a plagiarism thing with Luna Sea in 2003, but he kept releasing music, including the single 'Redemption' in 2007.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
