Matenrou Opera’s drummer Yuu will depart after their 10th anniversary “PANTHEON TOUR -overture-” final on March 2nd. The reason is that he suffers from dystionia in his left hand and there is no known treatments at the time being. Hence he must retire from his life as a drummer completely. This is a really sad turn in the journey of Matenrou Opera, bit still very necessary.
Dystonia [Source: Wikipedia]Here follows the bands official message as well as comments by the members:
Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder syndrome in which sustained or repetitive muscle contractions result in twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal fixed postures. The movements may resemble a tremor. Dystonia is often intensified or exacerbated by physical activity, and symptoms may progress into adjacent muscles.

Thank you very much for always supporting Matenrou Opera.
Today’s 10th Anniversary “PANTHEON TOUR -coda-” Sendai performance announced the withdrawal of Yuu for drums.
Yuu of the drum has been working for treatment while continuing band activities in the state that the left hand suffered from occupational dystonia for some time and the left hand does not move.
In occupational dystonia, a clear treatment method is unknown in modern medicine, and we have made various efforts and made efforts, but Yuu himself has decided to withdraw from the band that it is difficult to recover completely It was.
As a result of negotiations repeatedly with the principal as a band, we decided to accept withdrawal in honor of his / her intention.
10th Anniversary “PANTHEON TOUR -overture-” FINAL’s March 2 EX THEATER ROPPONGI performance will be the last stage of drum Yuu.
I am sorry really by sudden announcement, but I am pleased if you can understand.

¿To everyone in the opera.
I am surprised by a sudden announcement, I’m really sorry.
I will withdraw from Matenrou Opera with LIVE on March 2 and retire music activities.
In the last few years, I have been hitting the drum while being plagued by the symptoms of the left arm, but I felt the limits of both my mind and body, I could not face seriously the drums and music, and rather than curing my arm, It was getting stronger I wanted to escape from.
Of course, I think there are cure and playing techniques that I have not tried yet. However, I decided somewhere that I will not get over it, and I lost my energy to give 100% of power for drums.
I am very sorry to push through my selfish decisions for the members who supported me for a long time, the staff, all the people involved, and the operators who support me more than anything else.
I am sorry for breaking my promise with goals saying “Continue Matenrou Opera until the 60th birthday” and saying “Stand on the stage of the Budokan with this member” that the band raised.
However, I thought that continuing activities with such feelings was disrespectful to everyone who was supporting me, decided to withdraw and decided to leave the band within the mind that can enjoy music.
It is really hard to get LIVE becoming the culmination of the 10th anniversary at the end,
Until TOUR FINAL on March 2nd I would like to give full support as Yuu of Matenrou Opera.
Although it was a short period of time left, as a member of Matenrou Opera, and as a drummer, thank you.
I’m really sorry I can not keep my promise.
Dr. Yuu
I met about 18 years old and it is about 18 years to date.Yuu kept beating the drum behind me.
The first incompatibility was around 1 or 2 years after major debut.
Worse hernia in the back.
In addition to repeating individual exercises to overcome the weakness, I missed the original way of beating, gradually the sound of the snare weakened.
Two years ago, when Anzi left withdrawal it was even difficult to have a drum stick, sometimes stopping the song even during rehearsal.
The disease name arrived before it happens.
It is said to be occupational dystonia.
It is a symptom that the body stiffens only when you hit a snare drum, even though you can live a normal life.
Yuu also sometimes paused activities.
Still it will not cure.
I also went for a number of hospitals.
Still it will not cure.
He did it for many years with mind alone.
But it seems that it is already the limit.
I was saying that I do not want to head to the drum.
The word that inspires Yuu has come to a point where it only becomes a burden.
I brought it.
I think I will take a day off.
I planned to continue Matenrou Opera with this member for decades, but Yuu will withdraw from here.
It has resulted in hurting everyone who loves Matenrou Opera again and my chest hurts.
Still it does not stop.
Matenrou Opera will proceed.
I will proceed.
I would like to have fun with Yuu and everybody carefully for the rest of the live show.

Yuu-kun, who has been involved in long-time pleasure, has decided to withdraw.
Occupational dystonia, a terrible disease. My favorite drums can not beat, and playing my favorite music turns pain.
It erupts both physical and mental aspects, it is a painful and cruel disease.
Yuu killed me for a long time in the drum while fighting with this disease.
Of course, sometimes the drums were getting hilarious at the live.
Even so, everyone can enjoy live with fun and hot feelings, there was also a feeling of enriching such band activities.
However, from the discussion this time, Yuu had a word “toil”.
As a musician, I can not keep continuing while feeling music activity as “tough”.
When I heard the words, I thought that I had no choice but to offer this withdrawal offer.
Everyone in the opera has made me feel painful with the conclusion that we made. I’m sorry.
Matenrou Opera also had a difficult time.
Still four people worked together, and JaY-kun’s help was also available, now I am pushing a nationwide tour with everyone in the opera.
The tour also finally bends the last corner, and discussion about the next stage as well as the band, recording, and schedule of live are decided The withdrawal at this timing is, of course, very shocking.
Maybe some people say “Yuu-kun” as a “traitor” or “I was sick”.
But who wants musicians to think that music is a painful thing?
Again, occupational dystonia is a cruel disease.
It is an illness that deprives of music that betted life.
Yuu-kun fought over the years. Thank you very much.
If you do not fear further misunderstandings, this is unlucky.
It happened to be bad, something to do evil happened to come to Yuu-kun.
Yuu-kun happened to catch the poor scratch whom anyone could draw.
Who can blame such Yuu-kun?
Myself, I want to continue Matenrou Opera from now on with the thoughts of Yuu-kun.
Although there are few live shows, I think that I would like to create the best space with the members, JaY-kun, and everyone in the opera.

Yuu invited me to Matenrou Opera.
Without Yuu I was not doing this band.
Since long ago Yuu liked music, I like drums, I’ve been watching all the time so far, I think that still has not changed.
But, a few years ago, there has been a change in his body.
“I can not beat as hard as I want to beat the drum pleasantly.”
As a drummer, I think music was a tremendous pain because I like music as a musician.
Because I do not understand the cause, I was thinking about all the members all the time, how I get better.
Looking for specialty hospitals together, taking a rest, sometimes encouraging, sometimes angry.
I always looked for something that would make me demodulate something.
If there is a possibility of a cause due to a mental factor, it is not one way to recover, once you leave the band, music, and everything you might feel pressure at the moment Or, by thinking so, after the tour of the current 10th anniversary, it was a headache I personally suffered as to whether it would be better to consider stopping the band until Yuu demodulated at some timing. (It is totally my own idea.)
I intended to wait forever until Yuu demodulated.
However, it did not come true.
Too honest I am regrettable, I am angry and lonely, but I thought that such a “trust in Yuu” that included me, on the contrary, he had tied him back, when I heard the intention to withdraw a few days ago It was.
I think everyone in the fans know that, but Yuu is anyhow friendly person.
While struggling for years in an invisible tunnel at the exit, he still got over the milestone of Matenrou Opera ‘s 10th anniversary.
And, with courage, I told myself of my determination.
I’m sorry I got betrayed by all of my fans, but I guess Yuu got through to the limit.
Now I am full of gratitude.
I was saved many times in a figure that was hitting the drum while laughing.
It is sad that I can not see that figure anymore, but I will take care of every single live up to 3/2
Finally.
I am sorry that it got me saddened by all my fans following 2016.
I am sorry for letting me feel sad for the convenience of all of you.
Although it may be frustrating when looking from the edge, all members are facing forward.
Although it may be awfully bad, I will keep the whereabouts of people who will still come.
I also do things that I can do with Matenrou Opera, I still have something I have to do before I have it.
As long as the dream continues, I will do my best.
Ba. You
