Yeah, when he mentioned he was trying to do medical school at the same time as the band, I was pretty sure it wasn't going to end well... His ambition is really commendable, but it definitely seems like it would be way too much to manage at once.
 
He was the main thing I liked about Asty, so it sucks that he ended up having to quit, but I wish him luck with finishing school.
 
I mean, while Asty seemed to be doing kind of okay-ish for an independent young band, it's not like they were on the way to selling out the Budokan before COVID hit or something, so I don't think anyone can fault him for making that decision. Especially with the current circumstances.

Takeru leaves the band, but due to some interestingly difficult situations:
He is a medical student in Tokyo and was severely punished by the university for being in the band. He was conflicted and had to make a decision to leave the university to pursue the band full-time, but ultimately decided to quit and concentrate on his medical studies at university. His mother died at the early age of 50 and a few days before his mother passed, he pledged he would graduate from medical school and pass the national medical exam. He feels he can't betray his promise to his mother and had been struggling with managing his school load and band activities over the last few months. He apologizes for his selfish actions while contemplating his decision and temporarily cutting ties with the band and thus has decided to leave the band.
 

Huh, I wonder what the deal is, since it always seemed like he was the most enthusiastic about the band. He mentioned on YouTube a while back that he is also a medical student or something, so I wonder if he's just overwhelmed.
 
Hope they're able to work things out.

Japanese culture really needs to start to realize that mental illness exists. Even though I'm not a fan of the band, I'm glad he's alive and I hope he can work things out with his bandmates if only for him to grow emotionally.

I'm glad he's safe but I'm worried about the poor man's mental health. With all that's going on, I don't blame him for having a breakdown. I wonder if they're gonna wait for him to come back when they hear from him, or will they find a new vocalist?

アスティ (asty) has announced that they have lost contact with Vo.タケル (takeru) as of July 21, as he has deleted his social media and has not answered calls from the rest of the members. On that same day, the band had to resort to having their out-store event and live without him.
 
The next day, they confirmed that Takeru is safe, via his relatives, but the band has still not be able to contact him directly. They plan on having a discussion about the situation after their next free oneman live on July 23(?).

One of my friends committed suicide last night. The reality is still setting in.

Kote is used by Japanese bands and bandgirls. When Panic Channel started out, MEGURU would point out the different sides of the band by calling the dark side kote and the pop side C-H. What you think is kote and what they think is kote is probably different. Yeah that was from a Visual Kei styling vid.
 

 
Koteosa is basically all those bands back then that are labelled wrong by the foreign fans. i.e; J∀CK11, Я苺-アールベリー, Early Ayabie, e.t.c. Look at their costumes vs the costumes of bands which are considered Osa like; ラブCAN, ヒメユリ, Shelly Trip Realize, e.t.c.
 
And if you let's say, Listen to a J∀CK11 song then go listen to ラブCAN song. You can really tell that J∀CK11 isn't as poppy as you think they look. The koteosa bands are heavier than the osa bands, but they sure aren't gonna be heavier than the kote bands.
 
I've never seen any other term for a visual band besides Kote, kotekote, Koteosa, Osa, Soft, Nagoya.
