VIGILANTE MIFA 2005 Speed Metal Harmony
by Hiroshi & Kaz @ BEHRINGER
VIGILANTE Live In Rosa 01/14/2007
People often say that Kazuaki and Hiroshi are perfect twins on the stage! Well, that's true in their looks and perfect guitar harmonies.This laid-back and friendly guitarist joined the band more than ten years ago. And since then he has been devoting himself to the song-writing and the construction of the intricate musical sound that can be found in VIGILANTE's music.
He loves to play his Hamer guitars and his flashy solos are influenced by the likes of Richie Kotzen and Jeff Kollman to name a couple.
He is well-known for his intuitive song writing skills in the band. The way he creates the music is almost beyond theory. Without his contribution to the intro section of "Chaos-Pilgrimage", this masterpiece would not have been created.
He is also a good partner for Hiroshi in the creation of sound. He's taken part in many recordings as an assistant engineer, supporting Hiroshi, who serves as chief engineer. The team is second to none in sound production for heavy metal music in Japan.
Besides the music, he is a big fan of Japanimation films like Akira and Evangelion, and so on. His free mind to create something new is derived from this visionary world.
