Who-ya /Vocal, Lyrics, Composition

  • Who-ya was 20-year-old when they debuted.[18]
  • He started to listen to the music influenced by his parents, especially his mother who likes international rock-bands. He was especially influenced by Chester Bennington from Linkin Park.[19]
  • He was not a good singer until his primary school days.[20]
  • He started to play music when he was in the third year of the junior high school. At that time, his friends asked him to join the band as the vocalist for a school festival and there for the first time he sang in public. Then he was fascinated by the greatness and possibility of entertainment and started to hope to play in the bigger places, which is the reason why he became a musician. The biggest turning point for him was the moment when he met the current members in Who-ya Extended when he continued to play in a band in the high-school.[21]
  • His character is straightforward and stubborn.[22] He likes to do things to make people happier.[23]
