Biography



History


He also founded the side-band rally, with Hisashi (Glay), Kouji Ueno (The Hiatus and ex-Thee Michelle Gun Elephant) and Motokatsu Miyagami (The Mad Capsule Markets). The band recorded the song "Aku no Hana" for Parade -Respective Tracks of Buck-Tick-, a tribute album to Buck-Tick. They've played in festivals.

Besides singing, Teru is also an artist. He does some design to Glay's products and some non-Glay related campaigns. He's also worked as a narrator for the animated movie "Highway Jenny", in 2006. As a child, he used to play soccer and baseball and believed he could become an athlete. However, as a teenager he became interested in music and started to play the drums.[1]

Teru has been involved in several humanitarian campaigns as the White Band and the Red Ribbon Live. In 2007 and 2008 Teru starred an Ad Council Japan (AC) CM to show people of having the blood tested for HIV awareness.[2][3]

In 2017 he teamed up with Hisashi, Inoran, Pierre Nakano (Ling tosite Sigure) and Ery (Raglaia) to cover "Lullaby" by D'erlanger for the D'erlanger Tribute Album ~Stairway to Heaven~.[4]

Teru hosts a radio show, "Teru Me Night Glay", on Bay FM.
