Kiyoharu

In his over two-decade long career, Kiyoharu has been the frontman for two popular and influential bands (KUROYUME and SADS), has his own solo work, and has worked with many other esteemed artists such as LUNA SEA's SUGIZO and MORRIE from DEAD END. Kiyoharu's main distinguishing feature is his powerful vibrato vocals, with which he's able to belt out songs ranging from angsty punk anthems to serious ballads and everything else imaginable in between.

Writing lyrics, singing and composing aren't the only things Kiyoharu is good at. In addition, he plays guitar, produces, manages his own label and has collaborated with many designers to create his own special articles of clothing and accessories. Due to his unique style and sheer number of years in the business, he's influenced many popular artists from younger generations, especially the visual rock band MERRY.
