**GLAY**
GLAY was formed in 1988 by TAKURO in his home town of hokodate in hokkaido. TAKURO was a member of a punk band called GUEST-AP, after then he wanted to change his music style and write some elegant melodies, so GUEST-AP was disbanded and GLAY was formed. The name GLAY came from a bassist of a band called jun gray. TERU was a schoolmate of TAKURO during primary and secondary schools. During high school, TAKURO realized that TERU could play drums, so he invited TERU to join GLAY, and TERU said yes immediately. After hearing TERU's voice, TAKURO thought that he should sing instead of playing drums, so TERU became the vocal of the band. after high school, TAKURO wanted to go to tokyo for the continuation of GLAY. However, HITOSHI the bassist and the drummer decided to continue their studies, so they found another bassist SHINGO and four of them (TAKURO, TERU, HISASHI, SHINGO) went to tokyo. it was GLAY's 'dark age' since their arrival in tokyo until JIRO's joining. they worked in daytime and performed in live houses in the night. TERU worked in a construction company, HISASHI in a game center and convenient store, TAKURO in construction sites and then a video tape shop. the members lived in long distances and it took them hours to get together for practice. It was the toughest period for GLAY and which lasted for about 2 years, until JIRO joined. 93.10.17 was a date that changed GLAY completely. at that night, GLAY was having a live show at CLUB GIO, and in the audience there was X's YOSHIKI. He invited GLAY to join Extasy Record during the live. All members of GLAY were very surprised; at first they decided to reject YOSHIKI's offer, but after chatting with him, they were moved by YOSHIKI's confidence and determination. TAKURO said they would accpet if YOSHIKI would play piano in front of them, and YOSHIKI played GLAY's 'JULIA', which was later the debut single 'RAIN'. in 94.5.25, GLAY released their only indies album "grey and diamond" by Extasy Record, as well as the debut single "RAIN".

He is very good at cookery, and all the members appreciate his food. he is married to PUFFY's onuki ami.They have a baby girl who was born in 03.3.9.




 * HISASHI** was in the same high school with TAKURO. before joining GLAY, he was in a band called ANT. At first, HISASHI didn't like GLAY, thinking that they were just a copy band of BOOWY. Later, however, he appreciated TAKURO's determination and joined GLAY after ANT's breakup. He has a elder brother and his father passed away when he was in high school. He got married in 1999 with a woman named izumi.




 * JIRO** was the last one to join GLAY. before joining GLAY, JIRO was in a band called PIERROT. In 92.10, JIRO joined GLAY after the former bassist quitted. He was the one who pulled GLAY out of the 'dark age' and shortly after JIRO joined, YOSHIKI of X became their producer and changed GLAY completely. JIRO has one elder and two younger sisters. JIRO's name used to be linked to Judy & Mary's YUKI, until JIRO got married with reiko on 00.12.3, who is an editor of the music magazine "WHAT'S IN".
