Information
Juka debuted as a vocalist of Moi dix Mois in 2002, but three years later he left the band. He returned to singing in October 2006, when he joined HIZAKI’s session band – HIZAKI grace project. In 2007, Juka also started his solo career. He decided to go on hiatus on December 2007 due to throat polyps. At the end of 2008, Juka returned with a session band Initial D (頭文字D), which was covering songs mainly by Dir en grey and D. The band played a few concerts between 2008 and 2009. On May 10, 2009 the band XOVER was officially formed, and Juka changed his stage name to Shaura. A few months later, on November 27, 2009, XOVER disbanded. The same day, Shaura started his new project – VII-Sense. The band played their first concert on January 10, 2010 and the last – on May 26, 2012. On August 28, 2012, via his blog, Shaura announced his retirement from the music scene.
