While he is actually nearly a born pianist, starting to play at the age of three, Ryo now also plays the guitar. Though, after learning it at the age of seventeen, two years later he decided six strings weren't enough and switched to a seven-string.
His first project was the band "AciD FLavoR" in 1999, for which he wrote all the music and all the lyrics. He and bassist Tei began working together and the other members soon followed. He chose the name because he wanted the fans to be addicted to the band's music, just like addiction to a drug. Seven years, two albums (Speed-BALL and Next Story) and several maxi-singles later, AciD FLavoR signed up with EMI's Japanese label.
In 2008, they gained enough European fame to be able to perform at the Japan Expo in Paris. Unfortunately, they split up two years later and Ryo Fujimura now performs solo under his own name. October 2008 saw the release of his first solo single, though it included instrumental songs only. Its second version, with vocals, was released in February 2009, followed by his first solo European tour in that same year.
Ryo Fujimura works together with Râmen Events, and will perform at their sixth year anniversary event on 30 November 2013 at Roubaix, France. (More details here.)
