Long before leaving school, he was already thinking about going to Tokyo in order to become a musician. However, his father didn’t believe in his strength of will: "You are coming back home soon!" were his words.
During his time in high school, KARYU's biggest desire was to create a band, so he put out an ad in "Bando yarouze" and tried to look for members in this way. Luckily, he found a few candidates for Dieur Mind, but the project did not last long. Even before high school ended, though after the release of the demo-tape MESSAGE, he was already threatening to disband.
KARYU was still playing drums at that time and studying. On the last tour with his band, he more or less randomly met 零-ZERO- and his group. They were sympathetic from the beginning, and during one of their dinners they found out they had the same desire and goal in mind. A little later, he met HIZUMI and finallyTSUKASA.
Not infrequently, KARYU loitered around the Takadanobaba AREA, thinking about his next band - an original one. He even thought about it being a visual kei band, and suddenly it came to him to call HIZUMI. This strengthened his decision, and later he called 零-ZERO-, HIZUMI and TSUKASA, telling them, "Let’s get together and record a demo-tape!" The timing could not have been more favourable - after all, the others' bands had just broken up - and voila, +DéspairsRay+ was born.
