_history and info

Lida first showed up in the Japanese music industry in the band MYU, which he was in with his childhood friend DAISHI. After the break-up of MYU, Psycho le Cemu was formed, and they've been climbing since then, going as far as to perform in the United States in May and June 2004, with another tour in 2005.

Within the band's RPG-like roles, Lida is the fighter, and is usually seen kicking ass in their videos. Lida feels that he is that way off-stage as well, but DAISHI seems to have other ideas -- however, no one can deny the fact that Lida is quite the pervert: a duality when glimpsing Lida the lyricist, whose songs are almost always about true love.

In late 2005, after the PLC's drug scandal and the band's subsequent hiatus, Lida joined Yura-sama to form the band DACCO. DACCO is about as far as away from the PLC sound as one can get, sounding a lot more like ... folk-pop, if that can be imagined. As of the current date, they've released one 3-song single, Koi ga oka, and a full-length album, titled BABY. While PLC may be on extended hiatus, and we'll probably never hear from them again, I wish Lida the best of luck in all his musical endeavors.
