At a young age, Suneohair began to gain a real interest in music. In 1998, he sent in his first demonstration tape. Later that year, he began to play the bass for a band. Suneohair played several lives with the band.

In 2000, he began his own solo career. He began to receive awards such as "Best Mail Video" from SSTV and his releases were ranking in Oricon’s top ten chart.

Suneohair is well known outside of Japan for singing the ending theme songs for both seasons of Honey and Clover. "Waltz" was the theme song for half of season one, and "Split" was the ending for all of season two.

By the end of 2010, Suneohair and actress/singer Tomosaka Rie are planning to get married. It would be the second marriage for Tomosaka Rie, who divorced from theatrical producer Kawahara Masahiko. Suneohair has previously been married twice to the same woman, with whom he has two children. Their relationship apparently started with the movie Aburakusasu no Matsuri which is scheduled for release in late autumn. They sing a duet for the ending theme song.
