ZOMBIE Dr.REIKA will depart after their live on 12/5 due to differences in direction and will then change to a support member.

Oh this is sad 
.
NO
these seem to be the reasons
"I’m just an ordinary person now, so I’ll be honest.
The reason I left my previous band is because, except for me, everyone else was doing playback during live shows, they didn’t practice, and on the day of the dress rehearsal before our important one-man final, the vocalist said to the staff, ‘We don’t need five hours for this, right?’ That was the last straw"
“For me, the thing I hate the most is continuing a band out of inertia without any ambition. It’s also disrespectful to the fans.”
“If you openly say ‘We’re an air band!’ then that’s actually super cool. But saying ‘We’re a band!’ while essentially being an air band is just the lamest thing ever.”

Interesting. Do I understand it correctly that he states that Zombie were unprofessional?

now looking back everything suddenly makes sense.
that you have a label with beside a big airband only one “real band” sounds overly fishy.
Honestly it was super obvious if you went to see them, Reika was the only one who was actually playing.
I went to see then a few times in 2022-23, midori wasn’t playing, kanata sounded worse than he did when i saw them in 2018, and izuna just isn’t a very good guitar player to begin with. If midori, the supposed songwriter, isn’t playing at lives then wtf is he even doing there lol. It’s not like he’s writing any songs anyway lmao

That makes so much sense. No wonder the band has been so irrelevant and out of the spotlight lately. The disband to me could be great!

Didn’t they basically released the same album twice? I remember having the album they released before the name change and getting the one one the did after and I swear they have the same songs (adn I liked the first one better…)
This is … sooooo disappointing ?
Never got into them fully but the small bit of what I heard was nice. And their cover of Kurenai was great ! ( which is how I discovered and started to like them ).
This kind of behaviour is inexcusable and I just feel grossed out by the members now ew…
anyway, thanks Reika for the honesty, the morals, and the pretty face !
