He was reluctant at first although a phone call from one of their guitarists, Mana, persuaded him. Due to Malice Mizer's previous drummer, Gaz, leaving (who would shortly thereafter join Kneuklid Romance), the band was very keen on introducing Kami to their style of music. Performing mainly live shows, Kami soon attracted the attention of Yu~ki, bassist from the visual kei rock band Malice Mizer. As a result, he joined an up-and-coming musical group called Kneuklid Romance. Upon leaving his previous group and moving, Kami spent a brief time in a punk band before taking a liking to the visual kei style. Realizing that he could not achieve a large amount of success in his current high school band after graduation, Kami decided to go to Tokyo. Thus, he took up a part-time job and subsequently saved up the necessary money. Kami's fondness for drumming began to evolve, and a personal drum kit became a necessity. At some point, Sakura became his drum mentor. Initially, his interest was in being a guitarist after practicing for a short time, he decided to return to the drums. Between this time, Kami devoted his after-school hours to practicing his favorite hobby, tennis, as he was fond of exercise.Īt the beginning of his high school years, Kami was invited into a friend's band. Early influences of Kami included many of the British new wave bands, including Culture Club and Duran Duran. Kami left and didn't return to drumming until early high school. His first interest in playing his own tunes was in his fifth year at school when he began to practice on a drum kit. As a child in elementary school, he was very much interested in traditional Japanese brush writing and using a soroban ( abacus), therefore studying these fondly. ![]() Kami was born in the city of Ibaraki, Japan on February 1, 1972.
