UNDER FALL JUSTICE’s guitarist Takei “got the flu” and disappeared

UNDER FALL JUSTICE’s popular guitarist Takei Yukiya departed from the band yesterday. One part of me is not surprised. One part of me is.
As far as I understand, Yukiya had been complaining for some time about being in the band and one day he called in sick, claiming he had the flu. When they went to his apartment to check up on him, they found it unlocked and with a note inside. The note said he wanted to leave the band. No one has been able to contact him since.
The other members of UNDER FALL JUSTICE are shocked and the management regret to say that he’s no longer part of the band. They ask for forgiveness and hope the fans will continue to support the band.
One part of me wonder – why seem Japanese band members have such a hard time to just speak from the heart directly? Anyway, I hope everything is OK with him.
