Hmmm... maybe because he didn't write the song himself (words and music are by hide as far as I've found out at http://www.jpopasia.com/lyrics/6626/hide/eyes-love-you.html) and because it's a cover it wasn't worth to mention it? Or only INA participated and published it under Sonic Storage? Don't know... He can only answer that question himself I guess.
Btw, I also found this:
http://www.earth-inferno.com/jrrpwiki/index.php?title=INA
Quote:SONIC STORAGE - Following the ambiguous end of Dope HEADz, INA got together with fellow Spread Beaver member Kaz, who was also following the ‘freedom’ philosophy of music making, and they formed a “band” called SONIC STORAGE, which is primarily a platform for collaborations both in the studio and live. Regardless of being in a band, they rarely work together - for example, INA spent an extended amount of time in Korea to produce Seo Taiji's seventh album, while Kaz produced and toured with Hyde. However, they still find time to hang out, get drunk, and draw offensive comic strips about each other.
ActuallyKazu didn't write any of the Spread Beaver song, but he's credited for that, he worked on bastardEYES with Zilch, he also worked on Tetsu69 and Mega8ball and Fake? he didn't really write the songs for Mega8ball and Fake? only remixed their songs. So I think if Sonic Storage had done something there would be credit for him somewhere. Also you have to be careful what you believe and what you don't. There are alot of role play/fake info out there that do not state they are fan/fake/role play. I've come across this before.

Hm, that's of course true. And those weird bits of information are no things you would ask someone about (for example J via MySpace). I mean: "Do INA and K.A.Z really draw offensive comic strips about each other?"
As for the crediting of K.A.Z for the Sonic Storage song, hm... I don't know if it makes sense to send K.A.Z an email to his homepage email address and ask him if he forgot it in his discography or if he actually really didn't take part. He doesn't reply ne and it's nothing of major importance anyway I guess
so...
RE: to all the K.A.Z experts out there ;-) - derMauersegler - 07-08-2010
Sorry, I've got new questions again
...Does K.A.Z know how to play any other instrument and did he ever attempt to sing somewhere?
and
Since when does he know how to play the guitar?
and
Does he have any role models concerning his guitar playing and/or concerning music in general?
And the MOST important question...
Did he watch Ponyo or not ROFL
? Do you know on which occasion he drew that boy version of Ponyo? I peeked into your LJ today .

The only singing I've ever heard him do is back up vocals. The only one I know he looked up to was hide, hide was a friend and a mentor to him and he misses him even today (he usually puts up a little thing about hide on his blog on hide's anniversary of his death). I really don't know how long Kazu has been playing guitar but I'd assume it has been a long long time, maybe since he was a teen?

Yeah at one of the Vamp Addict meetings they had last tour he drew Ponyo and APPARENTLY has no idea Ponyo is a girl not a boy...or he doesn't know the difference between a boy and a girl or got Ponyo's boy friend confused with Ponyo LOL I laughed hard at that it must've been what he was giggling about during the Meeting LOL

The liife of a rock star just isn't what it's rumored to be at all D: if this is possible.
*shaking my head, troubled*
RE: to all the K.A.Z experts out there ;-) - derMauersegler - 07-08-2010
Hmmm... when I think about it... he should be able to play the piano, he composed piano duet, so...
Wow, so he played everything himself on Satsugai, I didn't know that.
And as for Ponyo
, I watched the movie without subtitles once and until Ponyo transformed into a girl I also thought it was a boy, so maybe Kazu only watched the first part of the movie or he thought Ponyo was crossdressing 
.

Yeah he produced, programmed, played all instruments on Satsugai.
Maybe he never saw Ponyo? Hyde didn't know who Spongebob was (well he didn't remember what he looked like or something LOL) I don't know what Kazu was thinking but it was comical at least :3 Surely in Japanese they say or indicate she's a girl.

Ponyo is definitively a girl, she wears a dress later in the movie and has longer hair, see:

Rating: ?
Genre: ?
Summary: K.A.Z is fishing, catches Ponyo and finally finds out that she is a girl
Next question (omg, somebody tell me if it's too much):
How did K.A.Z and Hyde actually get to know each other, is it known? For how long do they know each other?

LOL @ the fanfiction.
In MONTHLY VAMPS I remember a microsection called VAMPSKINS or something like that, which consisted of a double page featuring the tatoos of a band member. I don't remember if K.A.Z had one.
Thanx to all that have provided Kazufacts!!1 he sounds very interesting... and I also thought he was younger than HYDE
