Career

While attending high school, Shinya and his friend Sugizo were members of the power metal band[1] Pinoccio. They were then briefly both in Kashmir. When Shinya was asked to join Lunacy on January 16, 1989, he insisted that Sugizo also join.[2][3] In 1991, the band changed their name to Luna Sea and released their first album. They went on to become very successful, having sold more than 10 million certified units in Japan, and are considered one of the most influential bands in the visual kei movement.

Shinya played drums for the track "Back Line Best" on his fellow Luna Sea bandmate J's 1997 debut solo album, Pyromania.[4] Also in 1997, Shinya started a solo career where he was vocalist and drummer, his first release was the single "Rakkasuru Taiyou" released on September 26. The single "Hyōryūsha", a duet with Hekiru Shiina, followed on November 21. His first album No Sticks was released in December 1997,[4] and produced by Yasushi Akimoto. After Luna Sea disbanded in 2000, Shinya worked as support drummer for musicians such as Miyavi, Nanase Aikawa, Maki Ohguro, Kyosuke Himuro, and numerous others.[5][6][7] He also occasionally teaches drums to students at the Osaka School of Music.[7]

Around 2005, he started the band Potbelly, with a younger singer named Milky. Although, they only released the single "Crash, Crash, Crash" on August 22, 2005.[4] In 2006 he collaborated with Fake? (fellow Luna Sea member Inoran's band) for songs on their album Songs From Beelzebub. Also in 2006, he became a support drummer for Dead End front-man Morrie's project, Creature Creature, and teamed up with La'cryma Christi drummer Levin for several exhibitions in celebration of the 60th anniversary of Pearl Drums.[8]

On December 24, 2007, Shinya reunited with Luna Sea to play a one-night only concert at the sold-out 55,000 seat Tokyo Dome.[9][10] The band would reunite once again at the hide memorial summit on May 4, 2008.[11] From 2008 to 2009, Shinya was support drummer for X Japan vocalist Toshi's project, Toshi with T-Earth.[12] On August 31, 2010, he appeared with the other members of Luna Sea at a press conference in Hong Kong, where they officially announced their reunion and their 20th Anniversary World Tour Reboot -to the New Moon-.[13]

In response to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Japan on March 11, Shinya supported Toshi at eight concerts throughout western Japan.[14] All of the shows were acoustic due to the electricity shortage and also featured X Japan's Heath and the Orchestra Ensemble Kanazawa. All proceeds were donated to the Japanese Red Cross to aid the victims.[14] In 2011 Shinya also joined Yellow Fried Chickenz, a band that also included Gackt and Chachamaru.[15] However they disbanded after their July 4, 2012 concert, after only one year together.[16]

Shinya participated in the HIV/AIDS benefit concert Hope and Live ~ HIV/AIDS Support and Treatment Benefit Concert 2013, which was held on August 26–28 at Club Citta and included many other artists such as Zigzo and his Luna Sea bandmate Ryuichi.[17] He also contributed to the Dead End tribute album Dead End Tribute - Song of Lunatics -.[18]

Having had to postpone most of their 2020 30th anniversary tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan, Luna Sea were set to perform at Saitama Super Arena on December 26 and 27, 2020. However, both were also postponed after Shinya tested positive for COVID-19 on the morning of December 26.[19] On May 6, 2023, Shinya was appointed an ambassador of his hometown of Hadano, Kanagawa.[20]

Musicianship

As a child Shinya was trained in the traditional Japanese taiko drums.[7] When asked about his drumming style, Shinya said his concept is wa or "harmony"; he enjoys making other people happy, and therefore believes it is his "duty" to play drums for others.[7] He also used hana (Japanese for "flower") as a word to describe his style, explaining that a flower blooms at all times, even when no one is watching. So one should try to "shine" at all times; "it is beautiful when you are blooming for yourself."[7] In contrast, the third and final word he listed was in'yō (Japanese for "yin and yang"), referring to how a drummer must act according to the circumstances, including staying in the "shadows" if appropriate; "When you are playing a dark song, if you try to shine, there's no point to it."[7]

Shinya's drum instructor was Soul Toul, drummer of Daddy Takechiyo & Tokyo Otoboke Cats.[21] Shinya said he normally does not practice drums at all in his daily life; "If you keep on thinking 'I have to get better at drums', then playing would be like studying, and your playing style would get more and more restricted and rigid. To me, that's horrible."[7] After singing on his own 1997 solo album, Shinya said his drumming style changed to became more conscious of vocals.[7] Shinya's protégé and roadie was Siam Shade drummer Jun-ji.[22] Kra drummer Yasuno cited Shinya as having been his inspiration to start playing the drums.[23]

Personal life

Shinya grew up in a family with two older brothers, an older sister, and a younger step-brother from his father's second marriage.[24] As a child he was trained in the traditional Japanese taiko drums, although cited Led Zeppelin's John Bonham as his favorite drummer.[1][7] While known as a rockstar, he prefers to listen to Japanese pop music and enka, such as Ikuzo Yoshi and Saburō Kitajima.[1][7] He became an avid golfer in his 40s due to health reasons.[25]

Shinya married former Morning Musume member Aya Ishiguro (石黒 彩) in May 2000.[26] Eight years his junior, Aya largely retired from the entertainment industry and became a housewife shortly after giving birth to their first child.[25] They have three children: daughters Rimu (玲夢, born November 2000) and Sona (宙奈, born September 2002), and son Youta (耀太, born August 2004).[24][26] Due to Shinya's unusual schedule for work, he rents a workspace separate from their home, and has spent more than a week there without returning home.[25] The couple said they had no hobbies in common until Aya also became hooked on golf in 2017.[25] In 2019, Rimu made her first television appearance and announced she was taking vocal lessons to become a singer.[27]
