He recounts (3:21) that he became curious about it after visiting an older student from his schools light music club.

Pictured next to his Bogner amplifier is his custom Shinos Luck6v amplifier, which he got in approximately early 2012. The exact customisations are unknown, as Shinos do not publicise how they build their one-off amps for artists, however we can see from the width and microphone position that Kita's has two speakers, as opposed to the standard single speaker that the public Luck6v is made with, as well as a couple of extra controls. Kita's custom version has been previously confused with another custom Luck6v used by Haruna Ono, because they're both white. However, even though the exact specifications of both are unknown, we still know they are in fact different as they are different sizes, have different speakers (one vs two), and a different number of controls (Haruna's has more).
