How the fuck is tsuzuku a bad vocalist?

Are you kidding? 
MiA is great composer and he's really skilled

MiA is the reason why Mejibray became popular...  Do you find Koichi good musician? Does he do anything apart looking good in this band? 
Btw IF MiA was average, he wouldn't be asked to take part in so many projects and believe me, Asagi doesn't work with average people. 

Kana means chicken in Finnish. Just so you know

I’m going to try and cliff note this and if anyone else wants to chime in feel free.
 
I think it was in April (???) that Mejibray’s Youtube channel’s name was changed to Forum Official. Another band was added that no one gave a shit about it. People assumed or hoped that was the reason why.
 
Then in May, after the first show on the Hangman tour which was completely normal, they posted that announcement on the homepage and all about the hiatus. After that, there were no more encores. Moreover, there were no more MCs. Tsuzuku didn’t talk to audiences at all (bar shouting the name of the city and maybe “Mejibray”).  A lot of fans are of the mind that he was essentially gagged by the label and prohibited from speaking. No way to know this for sure, but it felt like it. Also worth noting is the instores switched from talks to 2shots before any of this. Also no way to know for sure this is related. 
 
Most of their one-mans ended with BI”name”JIKA. Sometimes Decadance.
 
Mobile member content was really sporadic from there. Even the staff blog hasn’t had images added since the beginning of the last tour.
 
Fast forward to the tour final at Shinkiba Studio Coast. Tsuzuku and Koichi emerged painted black. They’d each done this once previously this year. The live was 14 songs instead of 15. This may or may not have been deliberate as Tsuzuku had collapsed and stayed down at the last song, seemingly overwhelmed. Koichi went to him and checked on him before stepping in front of him and seemingly flipping off the staff at the back and then holding up three fingers to the audience. The curtain finally closed.
 
Koichi’s birthday was a lot more fun. During the breaks between songs at one point, rather than facing the drums, Tsuzuku faced outwards, staring at the audience. He still didn’t speak; it was Koichi that spoke at the end, remarking on the challenges of the year and said we’d meet again next year. Everyone was crying, but the general air was optimistic after the live.
 
Then when the end of December hit, an announcement was posted on Mejibray’s OHP declaring that Tsuzuku’s and Koichi’s contracts had expired and to wish them the best in the future. Koichi’s Twitter and Instagram have been wiped clean. Meto’s birthday live where he will be providing vocals under a different name was announced. Mia is busy as fuck all spring with various projects and sessions.
 
So it’s basically been a massive clusterfuck. _(:3」z)_

i literally have the same shirt as the guy in the top middle
 
it's from h&m & it cost $10 lol 

It might not be nice, but it's ensuring their relevancy and that way, their pay. I'm pretty sure that the only reason Kiryu has managed to stay together for ten years is the fact that BP is pushing them to continuously do something to stay relevant and on the charts, and that in turn ensures they get paid for what they are doing enough to do it full time.

I like how these are the only two options.
 
No they won't, unless someone gets hurt. Which would be my prediction.
 
Someone in Kiryu will be injured, possibly in a music-related way (carpal tunnel, voice cords getting wrecked etc.) forcing them to have a hiatus We will continue to hear absolute fuck nothing from HIKARU (Kameleo), Rame (Black Gene), Shun (Vidoll) and CO- (FUTURISM BOYZ) KISAKI will try to be relevant again in some scammy ass way

Same pattern as Royz and Codomo Dragon. It's BP RECORDS.

In my opinion, I don't find MiA average. I admit to being biased, but I'm usually pretty good at saying when my faves aren't actually that awesome. 
 
However, I do want to see him in more situations that challenge what he's capable of as a guitarist and to switch things up a little. He went to a high school specifically for guitar, he composed most of Mejibray's music, and from watching him - not to negate his showmanship, because he's always really fun to watch, but he makes his solos look so easy I feel like he could play them asleep at this point. I'll never be happy about this hiatus, but I'd like to see him do something exciting and different. (Not to say networking isn't a factor at all, boy networks his ass off lol.)
 
Also, re: shady business practices, SO MUCH THIS.

Agreed.
 
@Reikatsumi Lately I've noticed you've been quick to confront people when they share an opinion that's different from yours. Putting your two cents in and trying to maintain that it's fact to everyone else isn't gonna help anyone change their mind. Either chill out and let things be or don't bother posting if you have nothing constructive or nice to say.

MiA is beyond average y'all, he sat for 5+ years of his life watching deluhi DVDs trying to replicate leda's sweep runs and thrashy riffs and non-guitar players somehow think he's a god. he's not awful, he's probably well capable but by no means amazing--for christ's sake he reuses the same chord progression on a lot of mejibray choruses.
also people, talent =/= fame in vk in case y'all forgot; MiA got those spots in sessions because he had some success with meji and networked well within that time, leading to him being well-liked among bandmen (at least major men). a lot of people in all parts of the scene know of mia, it's actually kind of weird how he's literally everywhere.
if talent led to fame...screw should've disbanded after a year, not ending up going major
not really a fan but stating my opinion even though none of us can do anything about it, thats what this forum is about
its rumours, but considering how much tsuzuku claimed to love mejibray and live for mejibray, its a little sad to see the "mejibray" name being misappropriated to sell and push mia and meto just because they signed their souls away to forum. Im guessing ko and tzk signed up for that, but its just sad to see shady business practices, which i think people on this thread are trying to draw attention to, but we all have different opinions and thats okay.
as frayed said, they should proceed activities as solo artists, not using the mejibray name, as is done with most other bands in that case. so mejibray has been tarnished, especially for those of us biased toward tzk/koichi.

This person did a lyrics explanation for their entire discography. You guys should check it out, it's pretty cool

MiA (Mejibray) will become the first person on earth to die from forgetting to stop loving himself in the mirror 

New year, same old Kiryu pushing out bazillion singles and few albums and a couple of nationwide tours.

MiA is the reason why Mejibray became popular...  Do you find Koichi good musician? Does he do anything apart looking good in this band? 
Btw IF MiA was average, he wouldn't be asked to take part in so many projects and believe me, Asagi doesn't work with average people. 

Are you kidding? 
MiA is great composer and he's really skilled

Forum is the name of the label (or sub-label?). Not this forum.

They have been doing well for a long long time. That's why precisely they will want to branch off and get some rest. It's a gut feeling more than a well reasoned prediction.

Ok let's do something a bit more interesting
 
LSN will release a full 12 new  tracks album. Jakigan Meister will release 1 single, then one album, 9 new substantial no intro/SE tracks. DAV will release 2 singles. They won't blow anyone away. Metronome will release a new single. Neither Penicillin or Stereo CK will release anything this year. Take no Break will not disband and will release 1 more single before the end of 2018. BAROQUE will release an album in the second half of the year. Ex.Megamasso Ryohei will have a new band. Ex. boogieman gu. Akira will confirm he has completely left the scene by remaining silent. Kiryu will go on hiatus. Morrie wil have a new album. Jupiter won't get a new vo., it will just fade away. Megaromania will come back.

i imagine if Meto comes out  sounding like Trollollo  guy or  this freak:
 

i don't get why people arent literally shocked at this mejidrama like i know their popularity died in foreign fandom but this drama is literally WILD i have never seen management fuck over a band so hard, especially because it was literally tsuzuku's brainchild

If anyone here goes to the live with Meto on vocal please let us know what he sounds like and if he's good 

So it kinda seems this is what Tsuzuku and Koichi were 'signalling' at the end of the tour final then, interesting.
