  Hisashi Imai
Hisashi Imai (今井寿, Imai Hisashi, born October 21, 1965 in Gunma Prefecture) is the lead guitarist and founding member of the Japanese rock band Buck-Tick.
Imai Hisashi is a popular guitarist within the Japanese rock scene and has performed in musical side-projects such as 'Schaft'(1991-1994), 'Schwein'(2001) and more recently 'Lucy'(2004).
Members Imai Hisashi and Raymond Watts, both having worked together with Schaft, were joined by Sakurai Atsushi(vocalist) of BUCK-TICK and Sascha Konietzko of KMFDM.

 Imai - JRRPWiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
It became plain to Hisashi that he wasn't as needed in the community as previously thought, so he dropped for the first time in April of 2004, after only 2 months.
A short few months later, on the eve of his first solo show, Atsushi chose to announce his marriage (to Ochida Daisuke) to the world without having told anyone of the event beforehand.
Hisashi was so outraged and hurt that he announced he was quitting Buck-Tick (though he later recanted), and refused to see any of Atsushi's solo shows.

Hisashi quickly decided this was some one he needed to meet, and thus their meeting was arranged.
Maki fell deeply in love with Hisashi, but while his bandmate clearly cared deeply for him, there was really no room for anyone else in his heart except his muse and vocalist, Sakurai Atsushi.
This news got around to the Imai's other son, their surrogate one, Atsushi, and the man took it upon himself to take Shaku to Gunma to meet Imai's parents and share the news.

Schaft - Maki Fujii + Imai Hisashi + Raymond Watts
With this small, 1st release (1 track on the compilation), Schaft (Maki & Hisashi) ventured breifly on the live venue circuit, performing their "noise" music.
In August of 1993, the duo of Maki & Hisashi were reunited during the japaese "LSB" tour which consisted of Luna Sea, Soft Ballet, Buck-Tick, and occasionally Schaft.

It was rumoured that in 1995-ish he and Imai were married (doesn’t Love Letter sound like a marriage proposal?), but this has never been confirmed, but damn they make the HOTTEST couple.
Hisashi and Raymond cooroperate again in their second experimental project Schwein (2000).
He was the first to be asked by Imai and Uta to join their band Hinan a Go Go.

 Buck-Tick (pszabi has a forum)
Although B-T came from a long way, they don't seem to be really famous (unlike X-Japan for example, who almost started at the same time), "thanks" to their different styles that don't incorporate the pop-hooks of current musical trends.
They are one of the few bands who mostly try to re-enact their album sound by utilizing all kinds of effects live, meaning: they try work with as less "playback sound effects" as possible (Imai's bell-sounding guitar in "Taiyou ni korosareta" or Toll's raw electronically distorted drumming in "Chikashitsu no Melody").
If you're new to Buck-Tick I suggest picking up one of their recent albums (I recommend "13kai wa gekkou" for those who want to listen to a good theatrical goth-rock album and "Kyokutou I Love You" for those who are fans of a more elctronic and musically varied sound) or any of their live dvds.

When it was about to form the band, he was designated to become the singer (just because he looks cool ^^) but he preferred to be guitarist, a more discreete position.
He doesn't compose as prolifically as Hisashi, but he is the author of magnificent songs such as "Jupiter" or "Flower of illusion".
Also called "U-ta", he is the younger brother of the drummer Toll.

Hisashi began recruiting from his fellow students, catching the interest of Yutaka "U-ta" Higuchi (bass), Hidehiko "Hide" Hoshino (lead guitar), Atsushi Sakurai (then-drums), and Araki (then-vocals).
It was then that Atsushi stepped up, and after a long argument with Hisashi, became the vocalist.
In 1989, there was a scandal when Hisashi was caught with drugs, but unlike Sakura of L'Arc~en~Ciel, he was not thrown out of the band.

The first name of Hisashi creates individuality, independence, self-confidence, initiative, and an inclination to physical activity.

03 Dec 1994 — Maki Fujii's group Schaft (Maki Fujii, Hisashi Imai, and Raymond Watts) have released an industrial-techno album called Switchblade with a companion remix album called Switch, both under the Victor Entertainment label (J.V.C.).
Switchblade is highly varied and imaginative, ranging from the vampiric trance-eroticism of Olive to a darkly humorous rap mocking the glories of the InfoBahn called Information.
