He has recorded many DVD demos for specialized magazines and even a VS with guitarist Jani Liimatainen , former guitarist of Sonata Arctica .
As an extra fact, he said in an interview that he got into the world of music thanks to the Japanese group X Japan , a band he admires and that served as an influence for the young musician. Syu played drums at the time, but when he saw Yoshiki (leader of that band) he said he couldn't reach his level, so he looked for another instrument, which was the guitar, he went from acoustic to electric, until he reached the level of being called "Virtuoso."
