Takahiro Matsumoto was born on 27th of March in 1961 (aries, bloodtype 0) in Osaka-fu Fuchu City He can be considered the founder of B'z. He went to a music school and aspired to be a solo guitarist . At the time (and isn't it still like that) it was hard for solo guitarists to make a good career.
He decided he wanted to make a "real band".
He met Kohshi through a message in the newspaper, and they instantly worked well with each other.Tak basically writes the music and Kohshi the lyrics.
Whereas girls mostly are into Kohshi, Tak is the idol for many guys. His guitar skills are outstanding and he can easily be counted in with the guitar pro's in the western hemisphere. Tak also worked with Steve Vai.
Tak like going out to bars and have a drink with his friends. When it comes to three things he can't live without, the answer could not be more rock and roll :
Guitar, women sake.
Tak is also married and has two daughters (?). He released two soloalbums in 2002, "Dragon from the West" and "Hana".
Tak hardcore fan Glen has a lot of info about Tak's equipment and solo works on his website.
