Brutal year. One of the best musicians from Japan RIP

RIP =(
2023 has to go (it seems like we say this after every year)

He was one of a kind, and he packed like three careersā€™ worth of music into those 55 years. A true rockstar right to the end. RIP.

Such a person has passed away. I still canā€™t believe itā€¦
RIP

RIP Legend!

They held today the good bye/flowers ceremony, also streammed on IG.

It was announced too, that following Chibaā€™s wishes, an EP will be released in spring (which I guess will be their final release since despite not ā€œdisbandingā€, without Chiba there is no band) with 3 songs he was working on before he got into treatment. The remaining 3 members will be finishing them.
