In 1992, Klaha formed Pride of Mind. They released four demo tapes, appeared at "Image Sonic -society market 02-" omnibus, released by Song Bird Label on August 29, 1994, features 2 songs by Pride of mind: "The sky was blue" and "Hikari no naka de" . It also features two songs by Ér, whose vocalist Hinao provided chorus vocals on the "Systems of Romance" album. This 35-minute tape documents the August 29, 1994 live at the Shinsaibashi MUSE HALL. And an album titled "Systems of Romance" in November 1995 featuring 10 tracks and was released by Song Bird Label. However at 1996 the fourth demo tape titled "Revival demo tape" appeared.

Malice Mizer

After leaving Pride of Mind, he resurfaced under the name "Klaha" in 2000 as the session vocalist for Malice Mizer's final album, "Bara no Seidou". The band Malice Mizer was in a difficult phase following the departure of their singer Gackt and death of their drummer Kami. Though Klaha provided the vocals for the single Shiroi Hada ni Kuruu Ai to Kanashimi no Rondo, he did not appear in any promotional material and was not officially revealed until the band's 2-day live at the Nippon Budokan.
Klaha also starred as a Jonathan Harker-like character in Malice Mizer's interpretation of Dracula and other vampire stories (a silent film called Bara No Konrei) and appeared in several photobooks during this period.

Solo career

After Malice Mizer went on an indefinite hiatus on December 11, 2001, Klaha started a solo career. Klaha billed himself as a pop artist, his solo work comprises piano driven ballads as well as more epic, orchestral pieces, and he dropped the Elegant Gothic Aristocrat fashion style. His first album, "Nostal Lab", was released on December 4, 2002; shortly thereafter, he followed it up with the single "Märchen". Both of these releases were accompanied by short live tours and instore appearances. Following "Märchen", Klaha went into seclusion for around a year, reemerging in early 2004 with his mini-album "Setsubou"; he played one live to accompany it.
