Sho Kiryuin is a Japanese singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who is also the co-founder of the band Golden Bomber, a band distinguished by the fact that none of the members, save for Kiryuin, can play an instrument. They are in Kiryuin's own words, a 'visual kei air band' which means that in essence, Kiryuin plays all the instruments during recordings and the rest of the band mime during live performances. The band are able to overcome the limitations of not playing instruments because the main thrust of their live act involves parodies and imitations of famous bands and singers and is an environment where musical ability is secondary to comedic performance.
