guess that means there will be a release without him, but what could we have expected otherwise?

I wonder whose going to be playing guitar after he “takes a break”? Yume? Shiki? Kuina?

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.

am i misreading things or isn’t Takemasa just planning on taking a break from the band? sounds like he fully intends to be back…

(i have the japanese skills of a 3 year old but doesn’t 活動を休止 sound like pause activities? i’m more familiar w/ 中止 in situations of finality)

& he said the date is dec16, not… today
so can’t imagine this release wouldn’t have him on it, it’s finished a month before he leaves

even then, i wouldn’t be surprised if a single coming out in march might still have Takemasa in the PV; they can take a good while to edit

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

First listen through I wasn’t massively into it, but the second time through hit me hard, and I’ve had it on repeat since.

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.

I haven’t listened to them in some years, but I’m glad to hear their sound is unchanged.
