Karyu: Difference between revisions
Had to revert DOB again. Note: Its 1978, 1986 is impossible. That'd make him 13 at the start of D'espa, which started after he quit college. |

Karyu (カリュウ, born in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan) is a Japanese musician, best known as guitarist for the now disbanded D'espairsRay.[1]
Early life
During middle school Karyu's father gave him an electric guitar and taught him how to play; this was the start of his interest in music. While in high school he started to search for band mates, and eventually formed the short lived Dieur Mind.[1] They performed Boøwy covers, until recording their demo tape "Message". But by then Karyu, who at the time went by the name Yoshitaka, was threatening to disband. On Dieur Mind's last tour Karyu randomly met Zero and his band at that time. After dining together they had found they shared the same goals. Later Karyu went and saw Le'Viel, Hizumi and Tsukasa's band. Karyu was so impressed by there performance that he asked Hizumi to join him, but he declined until Le'Viel had broken up. Karyu finally met Tsukasa after Hizumi suggested him for the band. Eventually, Karyu called Zero, Hizumi, and Tsukasa one day to record a demo tape; that being the birth of D'espairsRay.[1]
Post D'espairsRay, Luv Parade
After D'espairsRay disbanded on June 15, 2011, Karyu along with Zero and Tsukasa, participated in Luv Parade, a live session band, with defspiral singer Taka.
