From what it sounds like, he's a music producer, and considering what is listed... he's been around for quite a long time.

Either way, quite a sad thing, terminal or otherwise.

Poor guy...

Nooooooo! Just read his blog post about his cancer. How sad...

He is not just a producer. He's one of the reasons why GLAY was so damn good during the 90's and one of the main culprits behind Kuroyume's sound after Shin left. Also, Hysteric blue, JUDY AND MARY, wyse, PIERROT, CUNE, early Quruli, among others. =\

There's still a chance he can make it out. Kentz came back from terminal cancer even when he thought he was a goner for sure. It's not over for him until it's over.

He also produced L'arc en ciel's tracks kaze ni kienaide and I'm So Happy from the True era when they were trying out different producers.

I saw Masahide's blog posting on twitter somewhere and was wondering why he titled it 'Goodbye world'. Damn...

He says at the end of it that he would be undergoing surgery for the brain tumor on 8/14.

Hopefully he's doing as well as can be now!

Wow, this is terrible.

I truly hope for the surgery to be successful and that he won't have to suffer much pain now.
