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 canāt believe itā¦
RIP
They held today the good bye/flowers ceremony, also streammed on IG.
It was announced too, that following Chibaās wishes, an EP will be released in spring (which I guess will be their final release since despite not ādisbandingā, 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.
