Osaka-born rock guitarist Ken (full name Ken Kitamura) first became known as a member of the Japanese visual kei legends L'Arc-en-Ciel, whom he joined in 1992 at the request of its bassist, Tetsuya Ogawa, his childhood friend (Kitamura dropped out of architectural college two months before graduation). He penned quite a few of L'Arc-en-Ciel's songs, and after the band went on a hiatus in the 2000s he established his own hard rock unit, the charmingly named Sons of All Pussys, abbreviated S.O.A.P. Over the course of 2002-2004 S.O.A.P. released three albums, only to vanish without a trace afterwards. Ken went on by himself, releasing the solo album In Physical in 2006, but then he returned to L'Arc-en-Ciel when they resumed activity in 2007. ~ Alexey Eremenko
