Amane Haruto (天音ハルト) is ICE MOUNTAIN’s keyboardist. He is a genius musician who can play any song he’s listened to only once without ever looking at the sheet music, thanks to his perfect pitch. He can master any musical instrument. He’s a colleague of Kiyoteru, and considers Tohma more as a friend than a coworker. He usually changes his gear and uses different combinations depending on the song, but his favourite instrument is the Roland RD-700NX + YAMAHA MOTIF XS + KURZWEIL PC361.
