Biography
Hata Motohiro was born on October 11, 1980, in Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture, as the youngest of three brothers, and moved to Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture in July 1988. When he was 12 years old, his eldest brother got him the guitar for 3,000 yen for the first time, and he started composing music from junior high school and started making music in earnest from high school.

At the last live in high school, he played in front of the audience for the first time, and by the time he entered university, he began to appear at the live house F.A.D YOKOHAMA in Yokohama with a friend of him. Since then, he has been performing live activities in Shibuya and Shimokitazawa, mainly in Yokohama.

On January 20, 2004, Motohiro released an indie mini-album "Orange no Haikei no Akai Seibutsu".

At the end of 2005, the staff of Office Augusta, who happened to celebrate at the live house where he performed, called him out, and soon he has been a member of the agency since March 2006. Motohiro appeared in "Augusta Camp 2006" held in July and acted as the opening act. He then made his major debut on November 8, with the single "Synchro".
