The Leader's Birthday

The Leader of GLAY, Takuro's birthday was yesterday. He's now 36 years old, even if I can't tell that just by looking at him... (^^)

Takuro is the composer of almost all the GLAY songs. He's been influenced by the Beatles and John Lennon.
With his friend Teru, they started the band GLAY in high school, at the beginning just for fun, like any usual high school student. Hisashi came as a guitarist, and later on, Jiro as the bassist.

I really admire this person, not just because all the beautiful songs he's been written and will write in future, but he's maturity and kindness. He's the cool but kind guy in GLAY (sure, Hisashi's cool too, but in another way). He really takes the lead-job, and the other members have told that whenever they have something in mind, they go to Takuro to discuss things out. Takuro is "Onii-chan", the Big Brother in the band.
And the last but not least, he's the tallest bandmember, which brings a model-like, very beautiful figure.

And, last a picture of what I call "Takuro Pose":
