Pride of mind (1992-1996)

Masanori Ito was the final piece of the puzzle that is Pride of mind. When Atsushi Fukuyama and Masaki Haruna founded the band, they decided they needed a third person to complete it. As luck would have it, Fukuyama-san and Haruna-san came across him while attending the first live of a friend's band, and immediately decided he was right for the project. While Ito-san's previous musical experience was as the vocalist for a student band, in Pride of mind he started as a keyboardist, doing digital mixing and recording for the first time. In Pride of mind's day-to-day operations, Masanori appeared to act more in a support role than a creative leader. His current whereabouts are probably unknown, though a certain "Masanori Itou" has resurfaced as a jazz drummer in 2002. Coincidence? You be the judge.
