sebbivism 134 Posted June 26, 2012 Today, it was reported that baroque bassist Bansaku is missing, nobody has heard of him since June 24 afternoon. They have reported him missing to the police. Today on June 26, their new tour will be starting but since Bansaku is missing they've changed the tourname from the original one to TOURバロック現象 第3現象 激しいライブハウスツアー ～ばんさくをさがせ～ http://pigmy.jp/bansaku.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wonrei 108 Posted June 26, 2012 What the hell.... I hope he's alright. What's the translation of the new tour name? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sebbivism 134 Posted June 26, 2012 They've just added ～ばんさくをさがせ～ which means ~ "searching for bansaku" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nick 10212 Posted June 26, 2012 oh, hope he is safe and sound. kind of bad news to their fans though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madygrain 515 Posted June 26, 2012 He's also boogieman's bassist but we may count that as disbanded already, right? Hope he's okay. Might it be he's hiding of the other baroque members? he wanted to leave the band in 2004 and that's why they dissolved, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you want to leave a band, you can just say it, you don't need to worry all your friends and relatives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pretsy 1343 Posted June 26, 2012 I am sort of worried too but this is not the first time Bansaku disappeared though He went missing once in Brq's early major/indie days and his mom even asked folks on band's official bbs about his whereabouts...no clues about how he got found though Hope he will show up...

Furik 832 Posted June 26, 2012 This isn't good news. I hope everything turns out alright as brq has always been one of my favorite bands. Any news on bassist replacement for the tour? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saishuu 3220 Posted June 26, 2012 Oh man, it's all starting again. Hope he returns/they find him soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeus 7997 Posted June 26, 2012 Yeah, this seems to happen every two years or so. Usually the person in question just had a freakout and had to get away from it all. I hope that's what's up with Bansaku. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robelibobban 2 Posted June 26, 2012 This sucks... I hope he's okey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sebbivism 134 Posted June 26, 2012 Any news on bassist replacement for the tour? It seems that they won't have a bassist replacement since the tourname was changed into something like "tourname blablalbalba ~Searching for Bansaku~" But something strange is definitely going on, I mean they've even reported him missing to the police office so I guess this is something serious. Of course he will show up sooner or later, but I wonder if it's dead or alive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miyuu 40 Posted June 26, 2012 Yeah, this seems to happen every two years or so. Usually the person in question just had a freakout and had to get away from it all. I hope that's what's up with Bansaku. has he done it before? or you mean generally from other bands too. and we never learn where they were? i wonder where can you go to be missing. i hope he is ok and this is just a freak out thing nothing serious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skulljoke 1 Posted June 27, 2012 Honestly, I fear for the worst. These kinds of disappearances rarely end well. If something bad has happened (and i soooo hope not) we can say bye bye to baroque. But i hope he's okay and we can just feel relieved. I love this band and i'd hate to see something tragic happen to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Candy Holic? 1 Posted June 27, 2012 I hope he is alright! I love Baroque and would hate for Bansaku to be missing >.< Maybe he's under a lot of stress at the moment cuase of the tour ........or he could be trollin' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't remember this guy's name or band off the top of my head but I remember he was a bassist and went missing after the earthquake. I never heard any follow-up as to what happened to him. Trombe corrected me and reminded me that it was PIECElang's Kana, who returned to his hometown to ensure his family members were safe, so he doesn't apply here. However, Trombe did bring up ex-Soarr Gt.migii, who was suddenly missing and other members have searched for 2 days and eventually found him injured in an accident. migii finally departed from the band as he needed to recover from his injuries (so there are still three examples). I also remember Kei from Viored disappearing for a few days without telling his bandmates. He signed on to his blog a few days later and announced his departure suddenly before disappearing again. Turns out it was his girlfriend pressuring him to leave the band due to her and health reasons, I believe. Someone who knows more can correct me. I think I also vaguely remember Sora from brodiaea skipping town suddenly and when he resurfaced, announcing that he was leaving over money issues (he actually got kicked out by Ren & Lin). So yeah, it doesn't happen often but often enough so that I can remember two or three. Hopefully nothing bad happens to Bansaku though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted June 27, 2012 NightenGeil had a guitarist who went MIA as well. But I don't think he went missing so much as stopped talking to them / ignored them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ficsci 50 Posted July 9, 2012 Err am I just not seeing the updates or is he still missing? Ryou tweeted this yesterday: 次は万ちゃんも一緒にまた来るから Does that mean he's found? Or is he just hoping for the next time they tour again? Well, there are rumors that Bansaku did drugs and that was the reason why he left before, but that's just a rumor... or rather I'm hoping at least it's not true now and that he's not in some kind of serious trouble.

ficsci 50 Posted July 10, 2012 I just ran into the Mourning Thread in the other forum and got scared that this year it's going to be Bansaku. I hope not. I'm tired of musicians dying every time July comes around. Stupid fucking July.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
