Background

 * Jin was born in Rishiri Island in Hokkaido on October 20th 1990. His first try at music started around the 2nd year of his elementary school life. With an age of 6 he started learning to play the keyboard, seeing his uncle, who was playing the keyboard as well, as an inspiration. His teacher, who was a very kind person, allowed him back then to come over whenever he wanted, even if he didn't have lessons on certain days.


 * Seeing as the population in his area was still small back then, only 12 students were visiting the whole elementary school. Despite this fact, Jin managed to find 4 other children who were learning music as well. When he then entered high school and moved to a more populated area, he there formed his band for the first time. They started by doing covers of NUMBER GIRL and THE BACK HORN.
