Midoru is believed to have worked as a session guitarist in France during the early to mid 1990s. He recorded a promotional CD Esclaves à Vendre in preparation for a 1996 tour of Japan, but this was never released. Midoru suffered a severe wrist injury in a riding accident, and cancelled the tour. He attempted to recover all copies of the CD and subsequently disappeared from public sight.
He described his style as "an avant-garde mix of classical and rock music, dramatic make-up, elegant costumes and stage sets with the atmosphere of a dark gothic movie". His music combines elements of European classical with rock, industrial and black metal influences, somewhat approaching the effect of a horror movie soundtrack.
