Wow, so fast! I just listened to the latest full album a couple days ago, lmao.
Also this is just my interpretation/speculation, but I think the guitarist dude will probably still play on the songs and/or compose stuff for the band in the background, but who knows, we’ll see (iirc he stated that he’s not quitting the band but still working with them ‘from the shadows’ so to speak). I’m imagining a situation like the black metal band Immortal where the main guitarist stepped down due to an illness but continued to write lyrics for the band and such.
he will take a break at 2021/12. He said he will stay in the background (composition, production etc.) so I guess he will continue to play guitar for the band
I really like it, at first I was pretty neutral about it but it actually is getting much better with repeated listens, also I appreciate their experimentation with their sound, this doesn’t really sound like most other Kiryu songs.
