GLAY iƒOƒŒƒCj is a popular Japanese rock (or J-Rock ) band, comprised
of four main members--Takuro, Hisashi, Teru, and Jiro--and a changing
cast of support musicians. During the 10 years since their professional
debut, GLAY has created many hit songs and gained huge popularity in
Japan and the rest of Asia.
GLAY's name (pronounced 'gurei' in Japan, a deliberate misspelling of
GRAY/GREY) was chosen to mean 'that which is neither white nor black',
to illustrate the type of music they wished to play. Rather than limiting
themselves to pop or hard rock, GLAY experiments with many different
sounds and styles. Although Takuro is the main songwriter in the band, all
members of GLAY have composed songs on various albums. They are
often considered to be a visual kei band, but sport a cleaner image and
enjoy more mainstream popularity than many.
