Name: Inaba Koshi 稲葉浩志
Nick Name
Age: 47
Original Band: B'z
Instrument: Guitar, Harmonica, Piano, Drums
Year: Teacher
Image:
Height: 178cm
Weight: 73kg
Zodiac: Libra
Personality: Inaba is a kind soul, the epitome of a true gentleman with his chivalry and soft-spoken demeanor. He possesses a quiet sense of humor and has a great deal of loyalty for his loved ones. The man has many aquaintances but only keeps a few close by. He is the daydreamer, the poet and the scribe, and uncannily still retains the innocence and naivete of a child. Always inquisitive, Inaba's sensitivity shines in everything that he does.
Habits: Day dreaming, sketching, exploring new places
Likes: People, animals, nature
Dislikes: Smoking, drinking, spices, air conditioning, inconsideration
History: Inaba is the vocalist and lyricist for the Japanese hard rock band B'z. Their debut album was released in 1988 and he started his solo career as a side project some 10 years later. As a vocalist, he is known for his wide vocal range with the ability to cover three and a half octaves. He plays a wide range of instruments, from the acoustic and electric guitar to the piano and harmonica, and is very versatile.
Together with Matsumoto Takahiro, Inaba has covered all aspects of rock and B'z are essentially the Japanese music industry staple.
Due to their enormous success and consistent productivity, the vocalist was invited personally by the director of Ageha Academy to provide seasonal lectures for both the student body and the teaching faculty themselves in order to enrich the overall education and experience at the Academy.
RP Example: Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this was it.
His very first lecture right smack in the middle of Ageha Academy, surrounded by clusters and clusters of Japan's top-notch musicians, each one brighter than the next. After all in a society such as competitive and struggling Asia, things have always been harsh.
But exciting.
Those were the very first few words that left the professor's lips to start off the speech for today. Standing right at the podium in the large, well-lit lecture theatre was a man in his mid-forties but hell. He sure didn't look it. Not one bit.
"Good morning everyone, my name is Inaba Koshi, please address me as Inaba or 'Excuse me' is fine if you forget my name. If all else fails, Sir would do."
A soft murmur of amused voices chime throughout the room, followed by the man's wonderfully charming smile. It was a smile that was rich and comforting like a good mug of hot cocoa during a white, wintry night.
...Ah....No wonder the man looked so startlingly familiar. This personage was the one and only Inaba Koshi from B'z, Japan's best-selling, chart-topping rock & roll duo, whose frontman had recently won the 2011 Grammy Awards. There was a collective sound of gasps as the audience slowly came to realise that it was the man himself indeed.
"...I just got back from L.A, so please pardon my jetlag. Matsumoto-san sends his regards. Thank you so much for inviting me into the family, I appreciate the warm welcome!"
The audience consisted of both the student body and the teaching faculty, and everyone clapped heartily.
