Biography
Leda was born on June 9, 1987 in Mie Prefecture. His first instrument was an acoustic guitar; he played it in high school. Subsequently, he switched to electric guitar when he heard the cult Japanese rock band Luna Sea .
At 18, Leda and his friends - future Matenrou Opera members - traveled to Tokyo to begin a professional musical career. There Leda founds the GRAVE SEED band, which will later be renamed to Deluhi [4] [5] and in parallel joins the Galneryus band under the name Yu-To as a bass player. Since the group by that time had already significantly departed from the visual kei style, with the exception of the guitarist and leader Syu , Leda also performed in casual clothes at that time.
In the spring of 2012, Leda announced the start of his solo project, and in June details were revealed. He assembled his own band called UNDIVIDE, which is his solo project, in which Leda is responsible for guitar, bass and music writing. The invited musicians were former drummer of Deluhi and a friend of Leda - Sujk and vocalist of LOKA (previously Supe) Kihiro (Kihiro), who previously participated in recording vocals on Sujk's solo album. In August, the project will release their first single THE CATALYST, and in September their first album, after which the group will go on a tour of Japan [6] . The first single of the project was released in early August of that year.
Equipment
Over the course of his career with the Deluhi band, Leda has used 6 different ESP brand tools [7] , including his subscription model ESP Cygnus, which is a custom version of the ESP Phoenix 200 . In the description of the model, Leda writes that the final version of the guitar is the result of his musical experience and the search for the most suitable elements of the instrument [8] . Of the guitar amplifiers, Leda prefers Marshall Amplification , which his entire group also used [9] .
