'''Takuro''' (久保 琢郎, ''Kubo Takuro''; born May 26, 1971 in [[Hakodate]], [[Hokkaidō]]) is one of the guitarists and leader of the popular Japanese rock band [[GLAY]]. He is the main composer and lyricist of GLAY's songs. |
|||
As a composer and a musician, Takuro has worked with different artists. He's also released solo works. |
|||
Takuro and his older sister were raised by a single mother, as she never re-married after his father's death, when Takuro was three years old. He considers his mother an early influence in his musical career, as he was strongly impressed by her singing. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Arena/4919/mnsons.html|title=Takuro's 1996 Mother Rock Magazine Inteview|accessdate=2008-09-19 }}</ref> <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Arena/4919/history2.html|title=NHK TV Documentary "GLAY Kiseki to Eikou no Mukouni"=2008-10-05 }}</ref> |

{{Quote|When he was a child, his mother used to sing while crying. He didn't know what was wrong with her but he felt what she felt as she sang, and he listened to her. The tone of singing becomes stronger as one sings. He was impressed by how his mother sang. He felt the power of singing. Before he started thinking about her situation, he listened to her singing. She started softly but became stronger and he felt that the power of singing encourages people. He has believed in that power ever since| GLAY Kiseki to Eikou no Mukouni (NHK Television's 1999 Documentary on Glay)}} |
|||
Later on, during his adolescence, he would be influenced by [[John Lennon]], and would develop a great interest in writing lyrics. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Arena/4919/takuro03.html|title=Takuro's 1998 Groovy Magazine Inteview|accessdate=2008-10-05 }}</ref> His lyrics are often based on his feelings about different situations in his life, as well as events in the world.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Arena/4919/mnsons.html|title=Takuro's 1996 Mother Rock Magazine Inteview|accessdate=2008-09-19 }}</ref> |
|||
In [[2003]] Takuro released "Kyoukai", an auto-biographical book, in which he writes about his personal life and his musical work. Among its topics are his childhood in Hakodate and a woman who he loved for ten years and who turned him down when he proposed marriage to her. |
|||
Takuro is married to Japanese model Seri Iwahori as of May 2004. They have one son, born in October 2005 and a daughter, born in October 2007. They own a house in [[Los Angeles, California]]. |
