HISASHI

I've always had a soft spot for HISASHI, because there's something so right about a guitarist from snowy Hirosaki up in Aomori ending up as the wild, melodic backbone of GLAY. He's the guy who makes those big, anthemic rock songs bite, all swirling tone and effects-pedal mischief, and yet offstage he reads like the friendliest gadget nerd alive, geeking out online about gear, robots, and whatever weird toy caught his eye that week. I love that contrast: a player who can be genuinely loud and inventive on a record but keeps a low-key, tinkerer's grin in real life. He's never struck me as the self-promoting type; he just shows up, plays with real craft and personality, and lets the riffs do the bragging. Quietly one of my favorite Japanese rock guitarists, honestly.
