Sakura was Laruku's drummer from 1991-1997. In February of 1997, he was arrested for drug possession. In November of 1997, Sakura left the band. But, because of this misfortune we have drummer, Yukihiro, who officially joined in 1998.

He did join a band called Zigzo along with ex-vocal from Malice Mizer and also ex-members of By Sexual. Sadly, they broke up in March 2002!

To add to another chapter in Sakura's life.... he has not lost his connections with L'Arc~en~Ciel. He is the drummer to Ken's solo band Sons of All Pussys (S.O.A.P). You can visit their official website [here].
