Juka


PROFILE
Juka first became known to the public in 2002, when he was discovered and recruited by Mana (Ex-Malice Mizer, Moi dix Mois). Later he also became the vocalist for HIZAKI grace project, before he went solo. He is gifted with a beautiful and emotional voice, which improves with every single release. If you like the music of HIZAKI and KAMIJO you should definitely give Juka a try.


BIOGRAPHY
Juka was born in Yamaguchi, Japan on October 4th. He has been interested in music his entire life, and his first main influence was his father, who is also a skilled singer. Encouraged by his mother, he began learning to play the keyboards and various wind instruments. Juka's career began in 2002 when he was discovered by the famous visual kei artist Mana, who immediately recruited him for his solo project Moi dix Mois. His identity was kept a secret for several months, before he was exposed to the public during the band's first live at Shibuya AX on July 31st. Juka, who was said to be a voice fusion of Gackt and Klaha (both former members of Mana's first major band, Malice Mizer), remained with the band for three years. He contributed with his vocals for three singles, two albums and two DVD's. However, in April of 2005, he announced his departure from Moi dix Mois, the reason being "disagreements in musical imaginations." He took his leave after the last concert of the Invite to Immortality tour, which took place the same month. It didn't take long before he was heard from again: in October 2006 the guitarist HIZAKI announced that Juka would be the vocalist in his project HIZAKI grace project. With this band, Juka released one album, Dignity of crest, a live DVD, Monsho, and a mini album, Ruined kingdom. However, in February 2007 HIZAKI announced that he and KAMIJO (ex Lareine) would start the band Versailles together, while Juka would begin a solo career. These activities would take priority over HIZAKI grace project.On 28 March 2007, Juka released his first single as a solo artist. Both HIZAKI and KAMIJO helped out writing and producing the music and also backed him on his next release, the mini-album Luxurious, which was released in June. Juka also participated in a concert to celebrate KAMIJO's birthday and all three performed together with Kaya (ex Schwarz Stein) in the rock musical Node of Scherzo. In October he released SAINT CROIX, the first song he had written himself, but in December he announced that he would retire from the stage due to throat polyps. His upcoming project, the band Seventh Sense, was called off and the name instead used for his final release, a "best of" album containing all songs from his short solo career.
