the first thing that made me know that the intro of a song played on radio is Laruku's song, is from his bass.
not many bassist (or at least I've never met one but him) who can play that kind of bass.

just watch his fingers dancing on the bass. and you'll know he truly is the best.

salatinada

the leader of l'arc-en-ciel can give us his awesome hard-to-do bass solos and he is also a great composer

ronluna

very responsible person, a bassist who always have bananas to throw and play with it. also, he founded a popular, great band in japan.

ronluna

No doubt about it.

Soovey

a bassist with bananas that can still do very fast bass-line as he rocks the stage with his tremendous aura

ronluna

The best bassist, best leader and founder of a notorious band in Japan called L'Arc~en~Ciel. He maintained the band after serious incidents like sakura's (ex-drummer) heroin possession and relationship with him. tetsu is well known on having the most complicated bass riffs in japan. The song finale that he created is one of their masterpiece. Their 15th L'Anniversary in Tokyo Dome is one of their most wonderful shows that I'd every seen.

ronluna

Yes, Finnaly, a site that realize the true godlike genius skil of TETSU

He is bass, his skin are made of bass, his brain are made from bass, his heart are definitely BASS

But..
SHAME ON YOU

NO JOHN MYUNG, BILLY SHEEHAN, VICTOR WOOTEN ON THE TOP 10?

SHAME!
SHAME ON YOU ALL!

Osiris

There is no doubt...
Tetsu is the best...
