Gara
In the early part of MERRY’s career, Gara did not speak onstage he did not want to detract from the atmosphere of the band. Instead, he communicated with MERRY’s audience through calligraphy. Nowadays Gara allows fans to hear his speaking voice, but he still sometimes performs calligraphy onstage.
Besides calligraphy, his performance style has other distinct recurring characteristics. Gara performs barefoot, and he always has a school desk at the front of the stage, on which he may stand or crouch during the performance. After calligraphy, he may pour the India ink into his mouth and spit it up onto his face, something that he began as early as MERRY’s secret lives in 2001. He often uses props, such as canes or a rabbit head mask. He has been known to stand on his head and clap his feet during lives.
