It seems he didn't just try to jump from the balcony, but also walked onto the highway to end his life during tour. This is rough stuff. Japan has got to start accepting that depression is a serious illness and not something that one can just "get over."

This is my favorite message of the week. Hahaha!

I just assume you can't take pictures at lives every time. That was you don't get in trouble, unless you're explicitly told photos are okay. Sounds like a real petty reason to dislike a band.

I agree that I feel like there should be some harsh vocals, but if Keita joined them, SLOTHREAT would essentially just be Misanthropist.

It may be a slightly different version of Ignite (like they did with Ajna or Hellraiser). Plus, I'm sure they didn't plan on having the single being sold to the masses (and not a live-limited) when the EP itself was announced and planned.

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.
 

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.

Not bad! I liked the BtBaM-esque high scream part, but the drums still sound programmed. The cymbals aren't sustained enough to sound realistic.

Ikebukuro RUIDO K3 announced on their OHP that they would be shutting down at the end of August due to the influence of COVID-19. Their twitter has been suspended, though in their announcement, they state "for more information after 09/01, reference https://twitter.com/revoice_music," which states "From September 5, 2020, live house "Ikebukuro Revoice" will open at the site of Ikebukuro RUIDO K3! 160 people.
It seems to me like this is a change in ownership and whether or not they will continue to cater to VK bands is to be seen, but DEVILOOF's Daiki seems be pretty disappointed in RUIDO's closing. He says that he's seeing a decline in the scene because bands are disbanding, but no new ones are forming (probably due to the pandemic) and is scared to think there will be fewer and fewer venues for bandmen to play.
 
EDIT
Looks like the same goes for Shinjuku RUIDO K4 ... They'll close at the end of September and a new venue named Shinjuku WALLY will open in its place in October.

Kagami from dexcore said something about his throat, so I don't think it's strictly a mental thing.
