PUMPKIN HEAD

the Pumpkin Head was an Rock Band from Japan. They were founded in late 2001 and held their first live concert in march of 2002.
In June of 2007, the Pumpkin Head had their last concert along with a distributed live DVD.

The vocalist is フライパン (Furaipan, Frypan) but he’s had other names. He was known as 605, 605.com, 605±2 and then he settled for Frypan.
He actually calls himself the pierrot of the Pumpkin head instead of the vocalist. He’s known Izumi for a long time: they used to play basketball or some sport on the same team when they were in school. He keeps all the letters his fans send him, too.
He wanted to play guitar originally, but learned bass because he was unskilled at guitar. His first band was a little cover band called Gesshoku, where he played bass. Then he went on to be a poisonous doll roadie (along with Izumi) and then stopped to play with SAT along with Tomo, before finally starting the Pumpkin Head.
He really likes Chage & Aska.
After Pumpkin Head disbanded he retired from the music industry.

The guitarists are トモ (Tomo) & Rui.
Tomo used to be in a band called SAT under the name Tom. He has two dogs, Lucky & Spanky.
Rui’s favorite movie is ET and he used to be in a band called Kurea.
After Pumpkin Head disbanded Tomo played in chariots but retired after leaving that band in February 2010.
Rui played for Chemical Pictures but also that band disbanded in 2012.

The bassist is ロキ (Roki).
The first CD he ever bought is glay’s review and he listed it as his #1 treasure. He used to be in a band called Dios=Kuroi.
Also Roki decided to play for chariots but left the band together with Tomo.

The drummer is いずみ (Izumi).
As mentioned, he & Frypan have been friends for ages and in almost every band together. However, when Frypan was in SAT, Izumi was in CRUEL.
Izumi played for Juliette until the band disbanded in 2010.
