Trivia
Rumor has it that during one concert, Furui was so excited he broke the keyboard. Furui is GC's leader and the saying is that he had the vision to form a new band and started auditioning for a vocalist. At that time, NANA and Okamoto already established a name for themselves in the industry. Yuri being the newbie was the last to join the band and she could sing AND write. Well, the origin is rather unfounded. That makes Furui somewhat equivalent to Dai, the leader of 'Do as Infinity' (If you know the story). However we do know that GC members met each other when they were recording songs in studio.
On Stage
The wild beast in action. 'I'm Furui and am high high high'. Crazy and Passionate. That sums it all.
Nick
God-hand (the way he plays the keyboard and how he brings music to life)
Quote
"You can do it as long as you dream!"
Instrument

YAMAHA MOTIF7, HAMMOND XB-1 etc.

heavenlypigsty: Furui is a veteran arranger who's been working for various GIZA artists and knows the music biz like the back of his hand. Being the old one in the band, his position as a leader brings a lot of confidence and assurance.

Individual Project

Imagination
Soundtrack for a TV programme on ancient Amazon civilization and it features GC's 20th Single 'Rai Rai Ya' as the theme song. However this soundtrack is only available for purchase online. It includes several remastered versions of 'Rai Rai Ya'.
