===Early Life - [[THE ALFEE]]===
 +
In elementary school, Takamizawa was introduced to [[Wikipedia:The Beatles|The Beatles]] by his older brother. Later in his third year of middle school, his parents reluctantly bought him his first electric guitar.<ref name="hmv">"[http://www.hmv.co.jp/news/newsDetail.asp?newsnum=308150078 Top 100 Japanese pops Artists - No.92]". HMV. August 31, 2003.

July 15, 2007.</ref> Takamizawa attended Meiji Gakuin Senior High School like [[Sakurai Masaru]], but unlike his future bandmate, Takamizawa liked rock music. He formed a cover band with some classmates and performed songs from Western rock bands like [[Wikipedia:Led Zeppelin|Led Zeppelin]] and [[Wikipedia:Deep Purple|Deep Purple]]. He didn't like folk music, but that changed when he discovered [[GARO]].<ref>"[http://otona.yomiuri.co.jp/people/takamizawa/100121.htm 先輩「ガロ」との親交]". ''Takamiy Ouji no Himitsu''. January 20, 2010.

 +
===Solo Career===
 +
In 1991, Takamizawa released his debut solo album, ''[[Ism (Takamizawa Toshihiko)|Ism]]''. For the album, he worked with Western producers, including [[Wikipedia:Steve Hillage|Steve Hillage]] and [[Wikipedia:Mike Vernon (producer)|Mike Vernon]]. The songs on the album have a common theme of romance. For promotion, he performed his first solo concert tour, ''[["Ism" Solo Tour Live]]''.
 +
 
 +
His next solo release would come fourteen years later. In 2005, Takamizawa released the mini-album ''[[Berlin Calling (mini-album)|Berlin Calling]]''. The title track was used as the image song for the [http://www.tbs.co.jp/event/berlin/ Masterpieces of the Museum Island, Berlin]. The mini-album also includes an acoustic [[Self-Cover|self-cover]] of [[THE ALFEE]]'s song "[[Kabe no Mukou no Freedom]]", written in 1989 about the [[Wikipedia:Berlin Wall|Berlin Wall]].
 +
 
 +
Takamizawa's second full-on solo activity after ''[[Ism (Takamizawa Toshihiko)|Ism]]'' was in 2007. He released his first single, "[[Sennen Romance]]", followed by his second album, ''[[Kaleidoscope (Takamizawa Toshihiko album)|Kaléidoscope]]'', two weeks later. He collaborated with many songwriters for the songwriting, including [[Tsunku]] and [[DJ OZMA|Ayanocozey Show]]. Takamizawa embarked on his second tour, ''[[Kaleidoscope ~Tenshi no Kyouen~|Kaléidoscope ~Tenshi no Kyouen~]]'', featuring support guitarists of [[LUKE TAKAMURA]] ([[SEIKIMA II]], [[CANTA]]), [[ANCHANG]] ([[SEX MACHINEGUNS]]), and [[KOJI]] ([[La'cryma Christi]], [[ALvino]]).
 +
 
 +
The following year in 2008, Takamizawa developed a more [[Wikipedia:Heavy metal music|metal]] sound. His second single, "[[Tsukihime (Takamizawa Toshihiko)|Tsukihime]]", employed four electric guitarists comprised of himself and the three from last year's live concert tour. He continued with the same sound with his third single, "[[Vampire ~Yuuwaku no Blood~ / Yatterman no Uta|VAMPIRE ~Yuuwaku no Blood~ / Yatterman no Uta]]", in 2009. In October 2009, Takamizawa participated in the [[Visual-Kei|visual-kei]] festival [http://v-rockfes.com/ V-ROCK FESTIVAL '09].
 +
 
 +
===Appearance===

Takamizawa has been dying his hair since 1992. It was red from 1992 to late 1995, dark brown from late 1995 to 2000, then red again. He has worn blonde wigs in the 2000s as well. Takamizawa also has a wide range of costumes that he wears for performing.

Information

Takamizawa promoting "Ism" Solo Tour Live (1991)

Early Life - THE ALFEE

In elementary school, Takamizawa was introduced to The Beatles by his older brother. Later in his third year of middle school, his parents reluctantly bought him his first electric guitar.[1] He also developed a liking for basketball and eventually became captain of the basketball team.[2] Takamizawa attended Meiji Gakuin Senior High School like Sakurai Masaru, but unlike his future bandmate, Takamizawa liked rock music. He formed a cover band with some classmates and performed songs from Western rock bands like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. He didn't like folk music, but that changed when he discovered GARO.[3] After graduating high school, he enrolled in the Department of English Literature at Meiji Gakuin University and joined the band Confidence, now known as THE ALFEE.[1] Sakazaki Kohnosuke was originally the leader, but passed the title to Takamizawa in 1982 after switching genres from folk to rock.

Takamizawa promoting "Sennen Romance" (2007)

Solo Career

In 1991, Takamizawa released his debut solo album, Ism. For the album, he worked with Western producers, including Steve Hillage and Mike Vernon. The songs on the album have a common theme of romance. For promotion, he performed his first solo concert tour, "Ism" Solo Tour Live.

His next solo release would come fourteen years later. In 2005, Takamizawa released the mini-album Berlin Calling. The title track was used as the image song for the Masterpieces of the Museum Island, Berlin. The mini-album also includes an acoustic self-cover of THE ALFEE's song "Kabe no Mukou no Freedom", written in 1989 about the Berlin Wall.

Takamizawa's second full-on solo activity after Ism was in 2007. He released his first single, "Sennen Romance", followed by his second album, Kaléidoscope, two weeks later. He collaborated with many songwriters for the songwriting, including Tsunku and Ayanocozey Show. Takamizawa embarked on his second tour, Kaléidoscope ~Tenshi no Kyouen~, featuring support guitarists of LUKE TAKAMURA (SEIKIMA II, CANTA), ANCHANG (SEX MACHINEGUNS), and KOJI (La'cryma Christi, ALvino).

The following year in 2008, Takamizawa developed a more metal sound. His second single, "Tsukihime", employed four electric guitarists comprised of himself and the three from last year's live concert tour. He continued with the same sound with his third single, "VAMPIRE ~Yuuwaku no Blood~ / Yatterman no Uta", in 2009. In October 2009, Takamizawa participated in the visual-kei festival V-ROCK FESTIVAL '09.

Appearance

Takamizawa has been dying his hair since 1992. It was red from 1992 to late 1995, dark brown from late 1995 to 2000, then red again. He has worn blonde wigs in the 2000s as well. Takamizawa also has a wide range of costumes that he wears for performing. An exhibit called "PRINCE TAKAMIY'S DRESS ROOM" opened to the public for the month of August in 2008.[4]

Guitars

Takamizawa is known for his collection of custom ESP guitars, with shapes and designs ranging from angels to swords, and even cartoon characters. He has reportedly over 420 guitars.[5] He said the most disastrous guitar in his possession is the ESP Trump 4 Neck and it is not practical for playing.[2][6]

In June 2007, one of his ESP Angel Sword models was auctioned on eBay for US$4500 and became popular among many English-language blogs and online guitar communities. The guitar was made to celebrate THE ALFEE's 20th anniversary in 1993. Another model sold for US$3880 in March 2010.[7]
