Kyo was inspired to become a musician when he saw a picture of Buck-Tick vocalist Atsushi Sakurai on the desk of a junior high school classmate.
Увидел фотографию -- и захотел заниматься музыкой... Вижьюал кей, бессмысленный и беспощадный

Про BT, с bucktickzone.com:
Toll's history: he began to learn the drums because he and U-ta's older brother had played the drums. This brother was five years older than Toll and unfortunately got into a motorcycle accident and never completely recovered. He died within a year in May 1977. Toll was interested in music and practiced on a cheap SG type of guitar. But memorizing chords was boring for Toll, so he decided he would continue his brother's drumming. It's a sad story, but if this had never happened, there probably would have never been a Buck-Tick like there is today.
Под тэгом «это менталитет (с)»:
Buck-Tick used their friends as staff members. A former classmate of Hide and U-ta named Hitoshi Ojima has been a roadie, road manager, and other sort of manager for the band for several years. (Ojima was last credited in 1994 in a Buck-Tick release but he has been thanked in Hisashi's side project Lucy.) The same basic backstory for Shigeo Azami, although he continues to work with the band as Toll's drum tuner.
