History
Toll Yagami is not his real name, in his own words; "he will not reveal his real name because he is selling music, not himself". He dropped out of high school in the tenth grade. Toll's first bands were called Shout and Spots (later known as SP). In 1984 when all Buck-Tick members moved to Tokyo, except Atsushi Sakurai, Sakurai asked Toll if he could join SP as vocalist, but was refused. A year later, when B-T's vocalist Araki was fired and Sakurai replaced him, Yutaka then convinced Toll to join as their drummer.
Throughout Buck-Tick's long career, his only writing credits have been lyrics for two songs; "Feast of Demoralization" (on Taboo) and "Dizzy Moon" (on Aku no Hana). Toll is the head of Banker, the management company that Buck-Tick formed in 1996.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“A great proportion of the inhabitants of the Cape are always thus abroad about their teaming on some ocean highway or other, and the history of one of their ordinary trips would cast the Argonautic expedition into the shade.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Boys forget what their country means by just reading “the land of the free” in history books. Then they get to be men, they forget even more. Liberty’s too precious a thing to be buried in books.”
—Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
