Trivia
Okamoto graduated from the engineering faculty of Doshisha University and when still in school, he sent a demo tape to BEING (a Japanese music company) and later signed up a contract. Besides being a guitarist, he is also MC for the music radio programme 'PASTIME PARADISE'. As an independt artist, he records and produces all his songs at home in his own studio called 'Okamoto Lab'. In acknowlegdment, he never forgets to thank the rest of GC members for their continuous support. He wrote a song for Mai Kuraki in 05 and in MFM interview, Mai commented that Okamoto is a mature and deep person, although the rest of GC might not agree so lol. (-thanks to k for some of the information written here.)
On Stage
Okamoto is kinda... cute lol, in a child like way. In all of the concerts so far (except the first one), you'll see him perform a solo cover for GC. His interpretation is very different from Yuri's and both are worth a listen! And to some extent, he seems to evoke laughters from the audience whenever he opens his mouth. (note: merely OPEN, no sound yet)
Nick
Oka, mochi (a Japanese rice cake), Charismatic Guitarist

Instrument

US Fender FAT Tele

heavenlypigsty: I'd like to call him 'mochi'. Judging by his look you'd think he's still in his teens (no offense! Mochi, that only proves how much we envy your youth!) His singing is nasal and more folk-style and I find many of his album songs quite soothing =D
