What happened to Canival drummer Luvia? I know he had a private twitter but the last thing I heard was he was very very chubby his tattoos and piercings were streched due to his skin he looked polar oppsite to what he used to but that was many years ago
And what about the most important member of the black swan - kotetsu the kitty ?

Always wondered what became of Zanin. The first drummer for Nightmare.
Last i heard someone asked Yomi that before their show in Houston (2014?) and his response was to look confused for a beat and then say …he disappeared

I wonder about Sala or Daisuke from kameleo
Hi hi! I saw this topic get bumped up and I’m happy to answer for some bandmen.
@softbubblegum sorry for replying more than 1 year later. Manabu pretty much comes back exclusively for Screw’s Kazuki afaik lol.
Officially speaking he’s retired, true to his word when Screw disbanded.
But he always makes a yearly (or so) appearance for Kazuki’s birthday lives! Here’s some photos from the most recent one earlier this month:
So usually I get my updates on how Manabu is doing whenever Kazuki posts on Twitter, since Manabu has no publicly-acesssible social media account.
@anadentone I can answer for Kazi, I was a big fan of him previously!
There was no sound from him for a while, then he decided to make a little comeback live in 2019 with ex-Fest’s Tomo as well.
He would then do some regular YouTube drum covers and Twitcasts, but he’s since paused or put a stop to those. He’s more active on IG now to update his whereabouts for work.
He started on two jobs: first one being shisha/hookah bar staff at shisha cafe&bar VENOM(シーシャバー) iirc Masaumi (ex-Buglug) owns the bar too, so that’s, two bandmen’s whereabouts in one piece of info. Hehe.
Kazi’s second job is a part-time? drum school teacher at Eight Beat, which is owned by Guild’s Koichi!
He does appear for lives once in a blue moon; he supported Golden Bomber’s Kyan Yutaka solo birthday live in March this year, alongside Aki (Lynch) and Leda as well. I went to this one to support Kazi lol
There he is between Kyan and Leda.
Kyan was the one who extended the invite to him! It was really nice. Kazi got really flustered when Kyan was detailing about how he met Kazi during their Eulicid agency days and how Kazi was previously from Fest Vainqueur, etc etc.
I don’t know enough Japanese or FV’s dynamics well enough, but I’d think this is because Kazi is rather respectful of his ex-members, and a little too mindful/regretful of the impact his departure had.
He asked permission, even, to hold the first live after he left the band.

I don’t know this guy enough myself, but Mizuki of Sadie has been posting about this guy and his restaurant a lot so I did a little bit of a search.
Masami (According to vkgy, his bands are as follows: Cyber to KOBUSHI as Masami (真巳) → faze → Scar. → the birdman , → Scar. → retired → faze) now owns a restaurant!
The restaurant is called 肉バルAlaVotre.
You can see Mizuki’s passionate promotion of his restaurant here: x.com

I saw that interview it was a bit weird. Everyone else in the room sounded confused too like “umm ok. Didn’t know there was a missing guy ?”

Not saying the dude is ugly, but it’s always amazing to me what make-up can do to a person.
