Mikio Shirai (白井 幹夫 Shirai Mikio?, b. May 31, 1950) is a Japanese keyboardist who was born in Tokyo's Minato ward.
[edit] Personal History
In the late 1980s and early '90s, he worked as a support member for the The Blue Hearts and played the keyboard for them on their tours. After The Blue Hearts broke up, Shirai joined with the band's two lead members, Hiroto Kōmoto and Masatoshi Mashima, to form a new group, The High-Lows, in 1995.[1]
Shirai left The High-Lows in 2003, and eventually joined with a third former member of The Blue Hearts, Tetsuya Kajiwara, and formed The Big Hip.
