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.

does anyone else think their upcoming anniversary will consist of a budokan last live and a disband announcement?

So does baroque. Ever since Planetary Secret this no more than kannivalism with a wig. 

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

I don't, thats your own hyperbole.
 
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"?
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
 
 

Let's not believe everything tanuki says now, please.
 
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.
 
Because Akira wasn't leaving the band at the time. The first time he decided to leave everyone did, they disbanded. 
 
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.
 
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!
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.
 
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.
 
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. 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.

it's a bit early to announce all of these things tho

No, no, no.
 
Money doesn't set this right. The child is still suffering by what is being translated. That man is very probably a risk for society. That much is clear. As a victim of him herself and the mother of another one this should not be the course of action IMHO. I don't know anything  about her motivation to do this or the bigger picture but I feels wrong Kisaki being able to buy his way out of THIS ONE.
 
Also, if she has trouble meeting/contacting him DON'T DROP THE LEGAL CASE YOU DUMB DUMB. IF HE PRESENTS HIMSELF IN COURT YOU WILL HAVE ACCESS TO HIM. IF HE DOES NOT, HE WILL BE DETAINED AND YOU WILL HAVE ACCESS TO HIM! What the actual fuck are you doing!?
 
I understand that having someone trying to dry you out of money to stop a legal procedure is fucking horrible, but you should not be complying after trying to get congressmen involved. It's easy to say (and probably unfair, so sorry for saying it, but I am just speaking out of my heart here) but if she endured all that abuse before coming out with the info, she probably can take it all the way. Has her case weakened? Has he presented or has evidence diminishing of her claims? What's going on? Her new actions make no sense. Is Kisaki impersonating this lady to damage control and taint her image so she appears to be a gold digger? I really don't know if I'm even joking about this. Seems like anything could happen now. 
 
 
On the topic of "this damages Vkei" I have to agree. It snowballs with terrible precedents. But assuming his bandmen knew precisely to what degree this guy may take things is going a bit far. It's clear nobody wants to work with him for the most part, so he was at least very disliked or even abusive on a work enviroment. But that doesn't mean people knew everything or were OK with it. 
 
The bigger issue here as far is what scene go is that Vkei doen't seem to be able to shake out it's bad rep.

No, no, no.

The kid’s father sounds like a class act too. Wants to sue over an affair, but not the abuse of his child. 

No, no, no.
