I just found out about something. About Leda, DELUHI's guitarist.

Well, all DELUHI fans must have already known about Leda's ESP guitar, Cygnus. I wrote about that guitar some time ago in this entry:

"Cygnus" is a northern star constellation, symbolized by a (white) swan.

And, just now, I happened to google the name "Leda", and was quite surprised.
According to Wikipedia:

In Greek mythology, Leda (Λήδα) was daughter of the Aetolian king Thestius, and wife of the king Tyndareus (Τυνδάρεως), of Sparta. Her myth gave rise to the popular motif in Renaissance and later art of Leda and the Swan.

Yep, Leda and the Swan → Leda and Cygnus! =D
Leda is a smart guy so he probably chose the names intentionally, but if this is a coincidence, then... what a coincidence! xD And LOL yeah, Leda is a girl name.

According to the "Leda and the Swan" story, the swan is actually Zeus disguising in order to seduce Leda. So, the swan in that story isn't directly referred to Cygnus.
But still, Cygnus is the symbol of the swan. So "Leda and the Swan" is just like Leda (DELUHI) with his guitar, Cygnus.
It's an interesting name origins! I love it. =D
