The Members:

Hyde – vocals, guitar
Hyde (HAIDO) His voice is incredible! He can go from falsetto to tenor all in one line. You know sometimes when you sing a song and there is a part that is too high in pitch, you would lighten up your voice to avoid going off key.The contrast would cause a very awkward "gap". But Hyde ~ he can just jump from octaves to octaves back and forth with no trouble at all.

Tetsu – bass, backing vocals
He is the leader and he has got the best bass player in Japan.

Ken – guitar, backing vocals

Yukihiro – drums
