For those who never heard about tetsu :

Bassist & Leader of L'Arc~en~Ciel!

Tetsuya Ogawa (born October 3, 1969, in Osaka, Japan), known professionally as tetsu, is the leader and bassist of the Japanese rock band L'Arc~en~Ciel. He also does backup vocals and has written some of the band's songs, including 'Link', 'READY STEADY GO', 'finale', 'Driver's High' and 'Pieces'. In the band, his name is 'tetsu' (All in lower case).

Tetsu is renowned for his melodic style of bass playing. Many of L'Arc~en~Ciel's songs involve Tetsu playing counter melodies with ken (guitarist of L'Arc~en~Ciel) while still holding a groove with the drums. Tetsu's songwriting can be seen as more 'poppish' as compared to ken's who has a heavier and sometimes bluesy approach. Slides and hammer-ons/pull offs are frequently used in his playing.

tetsu solo :

Since 2001, he had solo work under the name 'TETSU69' (Number 69 in Japanese pronouces 'rokku' which is similar to pronunciation of the word 'rock', and 1969 is his birth year). As of 26th November 2006 he changed his solo name to 'tetsu'.

Tetsu has also a side-project Creature Creature, where he's as a basist. Band's vocalist is the legendary rock singer Morrie and the guitarist is Minoru of THE MAD CAPSULE MARKETS.

In 2008, Tetsu and actress Ayana Sakai got married.
