Good bye to one of the biggest modern rockers from Japan.
What an end of the year 
Had them on my bucket list for yearsā¦ and was going to finally see them live in their 2020 China tourā¦but covid appearedā¦ RIP.
bro this has to stop 
RIP legend.
Looks like Iāll be blasting some TMGE for the next few days. RIP, garage-rock king.
Damn how many famous jrockers are going to pass away this yearā¦
What a goddamn yearā¦ 
Another legend, seriously fuck this yearā¦
R.I.P. manā¦
What is going on in the world 
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
RIP Legend!
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.
