Hideto Sei “ Hide “ Started Playing Music with Some Bands in Cities near Mt Fuji , Moved to Tokyo 1988, formed a Band Called “ Gunboy’s “ with that Band Hide Played at various Tokyo’s Clubs , Mainly “ Club 49 “ which is near “ Yokota U.S Air Base “ and the Experience inspired him very deeply to become an International Musician. Gunboy’s released a Compilation album from F.E.I records and got a good article in “ Player magazine “ and Some of the Gunboy’s original songs were played on “ Bz’s “ Radio Program on FM Tokyo. So the Band wasn’t that bad , but Hide couldn’t think there was a big future for the Band so in 1994 after he went to the USA a couple of times he finished the band , and then went to Sydney Australia , to play and check it out the music industry there. In 1995 he went to back to Tokyo , he was thinking a lot about the Image of the New Band and thought “ How could I make a sound with an oriental taste of pop rock “ In 1996 he went to Mongolia to study the roots of Asian people ,and he got inspiration from the Amazing Mongolian people. “They ride horses like the wind ,they are a spiritual, confident people, they inspired me so much and gave me new ideas and created a new image for my music”. In 1997 Hide met “ Shogo Uruno “
They wanted to concentrate on the international market . Hide was very inspired by the American & Australian music scene and the people he met abroad along with the incredible experience he had in Mongolia, helped shape his unique style of music.
Shogo lived in over seas for over 4 years. All the experiences he had in all of that overseas travel made him a very unique individual, especially as a Musician. They called themselves “ One Piece “ and spent a lot of time in the studio , playing , discussing ideas but mainly composing .
Shogo can play various instruments including the bass & acoustic guitar, piano and keyboards. Shogo is also very good at programming with sequencer’s.
Hide is mainly a singer songwriter and creates melodies but also plays guitar .
In late 1998 they finally made a demo with 3 original songs Little wing , Lake Baikal & Where I am Hide took the demo to Sydney Australia and made a good contact with a local music agency and made a deal with the Agency in late 1999. “One
