Hisashi Tonomura (外村 尚, Tonomura Hisashi, born February 2, 1972, in Hirosaki, Aomori), better known by his stage name HISASHI, is a Japanese musician best known as the lead guitarist of the rock band Glay. He is particularly associated with the brand Tokai, designing a series of personal signature guitars, based on their Talbo model.

Biography[edit]

History[edit]

Glay Rare Collectives Vol 1969

Hisashi is the second of two sons, his father a surgeon. His family moved north to Hakodate, Hokkaido, by the time he began secondary school. As an adolescent and young teen, Hisashi took an interest in post-punk and metal bands, particularly influenced by Boøwy and X Japan. He states that when he first asked his parents for a guitar, it was given in confidence as it was the first thing he had truly wanted. He began studying guitar independently from that time and is a self-taught guitarist. He later produced collaborative tracks with many of his early influences.

At age 17, Hisashi witnessed the sudden fatal collapse of his father, an incident Hisashi cites as his departure from childhood. Before becoming successful, Hisashi worked in various part-time jobs including at a gaming center and a convenience store, while meeting to perform in live houses during the night. Hisashi first became familiar with Takuro and Teru as the two were a year above him in school and shared his interest in the local indie scene. Takuro sought Hisashi as a guitarist for GLAY but he found GLAY's music unappealing at the time because of their many pop and love songs. He had also gained a small following in another band, Ari (蟻, Ant), which better suited his own taste in heavy punk and experimental music. He claims that their performances were largely improvised, with the vocalist sometimes only screaming and throwing chairs. When Ari disbanded, Hisashi agreed to accompany Takuro and Teru, and after graduation relocated with them to Tokyo.^[1][2]

Hisashi has been a cover model on various magazines including guitar-oriented publication GIGS and fashion-oriented publication Silver Accessory, and is well known for his continually evolving personal style. Together with his bandmate Jiro, the two are particularly known for their visual kei looks and on-stage theatrics, however, in recent years the pair have toned down their image, sporting more contemporary clothing and hairstyles.

Songs by Hisashi[edit]

In addition to arranging the guitar lines and solos for all of GLAY's songs, Hisashi is the second most active songwriter and lyricist for GLAY, after Takuro. Songs written by Hisashi often display strong punk and electronic influences and his lyrics are typically more abstract and metaphorical than those of Takuro and the other members. He has also contributed a variety of instrumental tracks for the band's albums and live performances. In 2011, his track 'EverKrack' was the first of his songs to be given an official music video. His next official video was in 2016, a fully animated production 'Kanojo wa Zombie' for their single 'G4・IV', which reached #1 on the Oricon singles chart on his 44th birthday.^[3][4]
