Redrum's Soto is now Goro?

Feb 21, 2012 00:32

Redrum's former bassist extraordinaire Soto has long jumped in-and-out of projects. He left Redrum once, was support bassist for Sugizo's Spank Your Juice, was in Human Tail with ex-Redrum's Kazi, but now it seems that he's in another band: Burns.

The weird part is that he's changed his name and makes no mention of his history with Redrum. He mentions his time with Sugizo, but the band he was with for years doesn't even get mentioned once? And his blog is only about ramen and food which is completely useless and deciphering this mystery. I'm sorta puzzled by this burn the past that many Japanese artists do once they move on from a project, at least leave the former bands' webpage up for legacy purposes!

One mention on Michiro's (Burns' guitarist and former roady of Redrum) twitter feed confirms that Soto is indeed Goro:

BURNSのベースってREDЯUMのSOTOさんなの?って聞かれた。はい、そうです。
Is Burn's bassist Redrum's Soto? Yes, it is.

I hope he plays some of those amazing basslines again. Currently Burns' music is just a mish-mosh of stuff with no discernible style or basswork! I want him to get funky like he used!
