Biography

Sugizo is a longtime leader of the visual kei movement in Japan, having performed with Luna Sea since 1989 and X Japan â one of the best-selling rock acts in Japanese history â in 2009. He was born as "Yasuhiro Sugihara" on July 8, 1969, in Hadano, Japan. His parents were professional musicians in the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, and they encouraged their son to become a classically-trained instrumentalist at a young age. Sugizo soon moved away from his classical training, though, and launched the alternative rock band Luna Sea as a teenager. Although the group's 1991 debut failed to chart, the five albums that followed were all platinum-certified hits, with Sugizo serving as the band's guitarist. He later launched a solo career with 1997's electronica-influenced Truth?, which charted at Number 12 in Japan. Sugizo pursued multiple solo projects and collaborative partnerships during the early 2000s, performing with groups like Juno Reactor, S.K.I.N., and The Flare. He also joined X Japan's lineup in 2009, performing a handful of shows with the band before making his studio debut on the 2011 single "Scarlet Love Song." Continuing to perform with multiple projects, he remained one of the most consistent members of Japan's rock & roll elite throughout the 2010s and early 2020s, scoring a chart-topping hit with Luna Sea's single "The Beyond" in 2020 and maintaining his solo career with albums like 2022's The Voyage to The Higher Self.
