    He probably left again. Official twitter is still up, though. He talked about working on music with Kisa not too long ago so there's still a chance they do something. 

     

    But he did nothing for almost a year now.  Not holding my breath. Hia twitter was very clear he wasn't coming back. Don't know if that's twitter or music. Or both.

    Took him long enough! XD 

     

    Jakigan Meister is the best solo project out of the lot so far imo, I wonder who'll play bass for Sakito now tho 

    Ni~ya still plays with JM. What I'm more interested in is knowing who the support members for Bull Field are, since it was implied they were the other Nightmare members. I wonder if Yomi sings for Bull Field.

    how he treated the fans really poorly and was instable a lot of times, even back during the old days.

    Let's not believe everything tanuki says now, please.

    he decided to leave after like 8, 9 months, without notice, the band had to tour without him  and then sending a note through a spokeperson and didn't want any contact with any of them or their management

    Yes, but the notion that this was done because he's madman is a bit of a strech. He made a serious, rational decision motivated by whatever circumstances he was going through. And history tells us that he's more OK with some baroque members than others.

    including Akira

    Because Akira wasn't leaving the band at the time. The first time he decided to leave everyone did, they disbanded.

    If you are afraid or think you've been wronged or abused you go to the police and negotiate you contractual situation

    Only if you care about your contract and if you are willing to put up with a burocracy driven, slow solution to the problem and you are willing to remain in contact for procedures. If you don't want a new contract and a restraining order or the offender to be fined, you just want to get out of there because you're being abused, you leave. You can do that.

    He abandoned his contract.

    Wich is an adult and lawful thing to do. The majority of people do that when they change jobs. Most people don't make the desision between their coworker's punches, though!

    if the situation was as you make it look like, he could get kei out of the band easily

    The situation was: Kei has a record of hitting people. Kei hits Akira, Akira leaves because he doesn't want that.

     

    Also, the asumption that Akira would want Kei out of the band is unsubstained AFAIK. He wanted to play with him, that's why they all got back together. But if playing with him involves getting hit he probably doesn't want it anymore. It's not about "keeping the band for themselves". At least not for Akira or Bansaku.

    but to me it looks like both Akira and Bansaku were in it for the quick cash.

    Maybe, but the reunion was literally free when it kicked off. By the time they left they just had released like 4 singles that cost like 500 JPY each. They probaly were not millionaires by the time they ran away.

    Most of the times bands actually are not a group effort.

    It's worth noting that:

    • The reason Kei punched Akira was that after the workload each of them had to deal with after Bansaku left was too great for their timeline and he was allegedly stresed about  it. Also, ever since Akira also left, Baroque's releases are have slowed down to a crawl. Simply because Kei doesn't do or even can't do everything.
    • When they disbanded they did it because it wouldn't be the same with Bansaku, meaning the band and their work would lose some of it's identity. Nothing points to it not being a group effort and a Kei puppet show instead.

    finalizing touchs and sprinkles sure, but heavy  composition work, not so much. And brq trademark style is so easy to notice during every work kei had done, the argument gets pretty much self explanatory when you get to analise the structures of songs like (...). Same with easy going ballads. That's all kei.

    Oversimplified again. Too eager to reduce everything to Kei (understandable, given how much he really loves to put out there of much he works on the post-Akira baroque, but it wasn't allways like that).

     

    Yes, composers tend to use similar structures, of course. But the style, the atmosphere and texture of the song, the upper layers, are decided upon by the whole of the band to set a direction they all find good, interesting, motivating or whatever. You can play any composition in an infinite number of ways. Not saying it's not important but it's not the end all be all of music. Non fiction was a good compropmise  between Akira's trademark rock inclination and the mellow stuff Kei and Ryo usually do. Now that Akira and Bansaku are gone, that aspect of their music is mostly completely absent or done in a way that is uncharacteristic compared to what Akira was putting out. So, yes, a huge chunk of their appeal was lost. The fact that it doesn't affect you or that you don't care because you like that style too doesn't change that fact. But even someone who loves sweets wouldn't have lunch at their favorite italian restaurant if it became a candy shop overnight.

    Dude I don't really know why do you keep going on this idea that kei and ryo are the devil incarnate.

     

    I don't, thats your own hyperbole.

    Bansaku bailed on the band not once, but twice. Dude is clearly fucked up on the head

    Citation needed. He didn't want to leave when he was in another band. He just left everytime he was in baroque. Maybe Bansaku and Baroque don't gel too well. But knowing he was with Akira in another band, it would seem like the problem for him were Ryo and Kei.  Wouldn't you say this is more reasoned and grounded that "he's fucked in the head lol wut do u expect bruh"?

    Now, grown up dudes being PUSHED OUT OF THE SCENE by their ex-band members is so laughable it's not even an argument. poor helpless grown ass adults...

    Being an adult is not a factor, sounds you're just dismissive of the actual situation here.

     

    Leaving a band without notice in the middle of production of an album for a major label is the kind of stuff that gets you blacklisted, regardless of how much of an adult you are. And Akira didn't leave because he wanted.  He left because he was dealing with physical abuse. But hey, Akira should be the bigger man here and behave like an adult! Sure, man. Sure.

    boogieman disbanded not because they sucked or anything, but simply because they couldn't sell enough to maintain what's was invested in them. The last hurrah with heartless vocalist wasn't enough and their called it quits.

    This is true. But the situation generated by Ryo and Kei prevented Akira to have a real second chance at music with boogieman or else.

    And even by going with that "sounding like brq", get Sug Life or most of their old releases and look up for the composer. 90% is kei

    This is a oversimplification. Rock bands are a group effort and every single member contributes and the resulting music is somthing that fits all of them in some way or another. The main composer is important, but arrangements and production mold the style of a song and that wasn't exclusively done to Kei's wish: the sound makes it self evident. If Kei's and Ryo's tastes and inclinations were the same as Akira's and Bansaku's Kannivalism would not had continued after baroque was formed. There wouldn't be the need for branching off again. Sug Life and Nonfiction have a sound that is distinct from kannivalism and Kei's solo work. This does not happen with Planetary secret onwards.

     

    Plus: when brq disbanded in 2004 the reason cited was "it wouldn't be the same without Bansaku". They temselves considered him an integral part of the band. Now they're ok with that AND Akira leaving. But they're not hypocrites, not saying that. They just openly abandoned what makes baroque, well, baroque.

    lately you don’t sound like Brq

     

    And they never will because the members that were the actual heart and founding members of the band were punched out of it and the whole music industry by the dudes that remain.

     

    Right now baroque is a just a way of getting more attention for songs that are kannivalism in everything but name, because kannivalism was never as good or popular as baroque. If baroque remained split the fans would have won and we would have the music baroque is currently producing released as kannivalism or Kei's solo work and we would have Akira's and Bansaku's band(s?) too keep that style alive too. But Ryo and Kei are just too selfish and toxic and pushed other members out of the industry and them kept the band for their own selfish good.

     

    If they were making good music or had any respect for the sound and the legacy of the band I would not be has harsh. But it ain't the case.

     

    Fuck these guys

    What is the main vocalist from? They seem to book pretty big venues, but I can't tell if that's because he's popular or because Hakuei is there + a backing from Euclid Agency 

    He was a popular musical theatre actor (big roles like Sasuke and such) and he is being produced by Hakuei so he has a lot of pull when you put those together

    I don't know what laws are like in Japan, but should Kisaki sue on the terms of defamation, both parties could land themselves in large amounts of debt

     

    Then it would be a matter of wich case gets dealt with first and if Kisaki can really hold his own in a defamation case if he goes first. But if she goes first and her lawyer  and the assigned judge are decent and she is able to properly present her case and evidence, she wins everything by defeault -Kisaki would also have to pay for HER legal defense after this first case would close. He would also should drop his case if that happened since the veredict could by defeault prove his case has no footing unless a) something weird happens b) she went overboard with claims she can not prove and Kisaki steers the case to focus on those ones.  

     

    About the father, he just should sue for everything if he can. Kisaki maybe can take on 1 legal process but 3 or 4 is going to be hard financially.

     

    In the end, all this ordeal leaves me in disgust. The woman exposed all the info grabing our hearts with her story and her child's and everyone was shocked by how Kisaki ruined a childs life, probably forever. Now that she thinks she has the general opinion on her side, her child (wo was also unproperly too exposed on the net just for storytelling means) and her health and state has taken a back seat and it's all business now. As it is not hard to pick a side, it is hard to think this was properly or considerately mananaged when it comes to the child.  In the end all leaves a terrible feeling regarding all parts involved.
