Excerpt: Yasuhiro Sugihara Sugihara Yasuhiro), born Yune Sugihara Sugihara Yune, on July 8, 1969 in Hadano, Kanagawa, Japan), is a Japanese musician, singer-songwriter and record producer. Referred to by his stage name Sugizo, he became famous in the 1990s with the rock band Luna Sea. In addition to being known to experiment with many musical genres, he is known for his political ideas and views, as well being an anti-war, anti-nuclear and environmental activist.
