And it sucks for drugs too. I can’t believe that they’re cancelling all their activities, especially their Latim Americans tour, imagine all the fans who were so looking forward…
For DRUGS, their announcement says that all scheduled activities will continue with a support drummer. Overseas performances might be exceptional (but it might just be that Killing Daze is covering their bases by talking about refunds for people who want to see Yoshiatsu in particular).
like most others have said their music is really unique and fun.
It’s not the most common sound, but for anyone looking for this kind of atmospheric, jazzy, chill v系、I’d give a try to eg. 人格ラヂオ and メリー from the older-but-active bands if you haven’t listened to them yet, or eg. 3470.mon and 私は浮かびながら沈む from the newer ones.
(Although they might come with various degrees of drama as well. Like with 3470.mon, I absolutely adore てんてん’s voice and his stage presence and have since KuRt, but trouble seems to follow)
Thanks for suggestions. I bookmarked to check later. I also was drawn to their unique sound and feel really disappointed. It kinda just all hit me today.
8-eit’s vocalist Tsubaki has his solo project called tsubaki superior still going afaik. Also there was The 8-eit as well, but not sure what happened to that
I don’t want to speculate on the things they haven’t made public, and I’m not privvy to any first-hand knowledge, but it’s pretty obvious that he’s mentally unwell, and it’s also pretty telling how many bands that are in essence just his solo projects he’s gone through. (added: i guess because of the topic we’re in, I should specify that I’m also not really aware of even any speculation it was for, how should I phrase this, any reason most of us would consider wrong. There was speculation that he was arrested like there always is when someone disappears, but it died down as soon as he posted the letter.)
I’m glad they managed to continue 3470.mon though.
Yes, the yomi post made me feel all warm and fuzzy
