Interesting duality, Alan Merrill and Hiroshi Oguchi. They sort of balanced each other out in a very positive way artistically. One's energy fed the other's.

A positive symbiosis.

RIP Hiroshi Oguchi, Jan 26, 2009. Yes, a great conceptual artist is gone, but not forgotten. Never.

Keith Richard and Hiroshi Oguchi are very different characters, I assure you. However, both are "one of a kind" men with powerful and uniquely individual personalities, who make their presence

felt in the world through talent and energy..

Drummer Hiroshi Oguchi, in the cool shades is known as Japan's answer to Keith Richards. The two have a similar flair for fashion and daring, with a powerful dark aura.
