This weekend internationally well known post-rock and instrumental rock band té announced that their guitarist Hirotoshi Kuroda passed away on Nov 30th due to cerebral infarction.
They’re holding a farewell event in January.
The band has toured internationally before, is quite popular in the post-rock bubble and Hirotoshi Kuroda had strong ties to the VK scene.
He was in the band of Ryuutaro Arimura’s (Plastic Tree) solo project and apparently was active as a vk vocalist before he joined té.
Oh no, what a loss… rest in peace, my dude.
Some more reactions from befriended musicians:
Seek (Mix Speaker’s,Inc./Psycho le cému)
Takahashi (ELLEGARDEN)
Yohei (cinema staff)
Takashi (ex-Plastic tree)
This is awful. Rest in peace.
Damn, that’s wild. My condolences.
I saw this a few days ago, this is terrible. I knew him as the man behind playing the soft and soothing tones of Ryutaro’s solo works… His art was beautiful. May this good man rest in peace 
I just got chills. This is really tragic
