Takuya∞ as vocalist & programmer of UVERworld

Takuya∞ is the front man of UVERworld, he writes all of the lyrics (initially with the help of lyricist Alice Ice till Colors of the Heart era) and most music for songs performed by the band itself. He is a talented individual who is known to be able to play all the instruments (Guitar, Bass and drums) all by himself. Besides that, he is also known to play the piano and might be interested in learning the violins. He got his first try in violins in Kimi no suki na uta but he wasn’t the one who is playing it.

Takuya∞ & his approach towards music

Takuya∞ loves challenges. He likes creating new things. Takuya∞ asserted that if he can’t make a music better than the one he made previously, he should just stop writing music because it does not prove his potential (the reason for the ‘∞’ sign behind his name). Such attitude might also be the driving force in the creation of Taku-words and Taku-styles such as words like ‘Bakori’, ‘BUGRIGHT’, ‘Shaka Beach’ (with the help of Nobuto), ‘LIFEsize’ and his own definition of ‘Rock’ and ‘One and Only’. It is spectaculated that in the near future, ‘BUGRIGHT’ might even make it into the dictionary due to its interesting definition. Additionally, Takuya is very detail-oriented. Unfortunately, these ‘details’ is often overlooked by some fans. Simple songs such as ‘endscape’ is actually very detailed, but is shunned by some fans due to its overly simple outlook.
