Following Hisashi's high school graduation in 1990, the three moved to Tokyo to try to further expand their musical career.ĭuring one of these shows in October 1993, Yoshiki, then drummer and pianist for X Japan, saw their show and offered them a contract to his label Extasy Records. By the time of Takuro and Teru's graduation, Glay were enjoying some popularity in their hometown of Hakodate and were playing full live houses. Hisashi eventually accepted Takuro's offer and became Glay's lead guitarist after Ari disbanded. On the search for a second guitarist, Hisashi was asked to join but declined the offer, as he was already part of a locally well-known heavy punk/rock band called Ari, which better suited his taste in music. When Teru made a tape of his singing and gave it to Takuro he was immediately recruited for the part, leaving the drums part to be filled by another person. They found a bassist but had difficulty finding a vocalist.
Glay formed in 1988 as a high school band when Takuro asked Teru, a schoolmate, to play the drums.
As of 2008, Glay had sold an estimated 51 million records 28 million singles and 23 million albums, making them one of the top ten best-selling artists of all time in Japan. Originally a visual kei band, the group slowly shifted to less dramatic attire through the years. Glay primarily composes songs in the rock and pop genres, but they have also arranged songs using elements from a wide variety of genres, including punk, electronic, R&B, folk, reggae, gospel, and ska. Glay is a Japanese rock band, formed in Hakodate in 1988.
