Yuji YOU Adachi TonePrints
Yuji Adachi, best known as the guitarist “YOU” from the Japanese rock band “Dead End”, started playing guitar when he was in his teens. He quickly gained reputation among various guitarists and joined one of the hiking heavy melodic rock band, Dead End in 1986. Although the band was separated in 1990 and didn’t release that many albums, there are a lot of major Japanese artists today who profess their influence from Dead End’s early adaption of gothic, and new wave tastes to heavy metal. Dead End was re-united in 2009 in conjunction with 20 year anniversary project, and released their come-back album “METAMORPHOSIS”. They are planning to come up with another new album in early 2012 and tour around Japan after that.
