Sugizo is best-known as lead guitarist and at times-violinist of LUNA SEA, and recently became the lead guitarist in X Japan, taking the late hide's place. He also had played a major part in The FLARE, but have since parted ways.
In 2007, Yoshiki and Gackt announced that Sugizo was the lead guitarist in the so-called superband known as S.K.I.N. along with Miyavi. Currently, the future of this project remains unclear. Sugizo is also a member of trance/world music act, Juno Reactor since that year.
Sugizo is still heavily involved with LUNA SEA and in December 2013, recently released 'A Will', LUNA SEA's new studio album after thirteen years. He has also composed original soundtracks as well as acted in for several theatre pieces, including the play '7 Doors' in May 2012 which was a staging of Bartók's opera 'Bluebeard's Castle'. In November 2013, Sugizo was also the musical director and composer for a new staging of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
While in Luna Sea, Sugizo almost exclusively used ESP guitars and has around sixteen signature models with them. For his solo projects he often uses Fender guitars and basses. For live violin playing, and recording he uses signature ESP electric violin.

キミを失つて 時は凍りついたままで
傷を求めても 毒にまみれても
だけど今は
(少しだけ)キミが導いてくれた
(少しだけ)道が見える
さあ...
どうかこえを思い出して
いつかうたごえをきかせてね
ボクはもう大丈夫だから
二度と閉じないでずつと步いてくから
Cry そしてめざめて Fly Away
(少しだけ)キミと離れて生きてく
(少しだけ)ゆうきが見える
さあ...
どうか罪を振りほどいて
いつかイタミも許してあげてね
ボクはもう大丈夫だから
二度と閉じないでずっと步いてくから
遠く離れてもずつと愛しているよ
いつか二人もう一度であえるから
Cry そしてめざめて Fly Away
二人のみらい そして羽ばたいて Fly Away
The lyrics of SUGIZO's song "Rest in Peace & Fly Away" are about loss, healing, and moving on. The opening line speaks of time standing frozen after losing someone important to the singer. Despite searching for solace and healing, the pain is still present. However, the singer can see a path forward, thanks to the person they lost. They urge themselves and the listener to remember their voice and keep walking forward with courage.
In the second verse, the singer talks about living apart from the person they lost and the courage they gained from that separation. They implore themselves and the listener to release themselves from guilt and forgive themselves for their pain. They are okay now and will continue walking forward without ever stopping.
The chorus repeats the message of the title, cry, wake up, and fly away. The final lines of the song speak of hope that the two may meet again one day.
Overall, the lyrics portray a deep sense of loss but also hope for a brighter future. A future where the singer can remember the person they lost and continue living their lives. It's a touching tribute to someone they loved and their unwavering determination to keep moving forward.
