well I'm thinking yes to that tone still being there, to a certain extent since people who had never heard Hirama were saying he had a unique tone and then picked it up again when I was all over them insisting they listened to TJ and his solo stuff after.
He's had that SG for a while whilst playing with MONORAL, since summer. I still think he will be playing his psychederhythm on his own recordings though perhaps?. A workfriend of mine is seeing him play his series of solo shows when he is supporting ROBOTS soon, so I'm going to ask what set up he has in Japan now, cos I'm not sure if he would of either dragged his Orange gear around South America or specifically requested for similar equipment at the gigs there.
Yeah
the hair, his fear of being mistaken for a woman seems to have disappeared and been replaced with remembering how awesome he looks with it all long and lovely.
