GLAY STORY
Eien no 1/4
Masahiko Isozaki
Sony Magazines
96.06.20
¥1,553
ISBN4-7897-1089-0


Comments: This book gives each member's story before and a bit after Glay. It's got some pictures of the group in Hokkaido in the front, but it's really like a story book--it's full of text. This book is a useful source of information on the band's history. It also has childhood pics of the members.

Comments: This book is a follow up to Midnight Sun. It contains a lot of the pictures already in Midnight Sun plus more. I'd recommend buying this book to Midnight Sun itself because it's got more pictures and it's also more informative (it has Glay's story, biography, and discography at the back). 10 Questions.
