Yeti Gt.荒牧幸久(aramaki yukihisa) will depart after their one-man live "新生活。(shinseikatsu)" at Shimokitazawa MOSAiC at 2015/02/23

Damn! Did he mention why?

[hiroki 5521]

awful news. he didn't mention why exactly, only something along the lines of 'it has become clear i must do this'...

btw the band will continue activities with support members after his departure.

Is he a composer?

[hiroki 5521]

Is he a composer?

seems like all members compose, so hopefully this wouldn't affect their overall sound.

I really hope this doesn't mean a disbandment. I like Yeti way too much for them to disband.

This is terrible news.  I really got into their latest offerings, especially the 賛成の反対 [sansei no Hantai] Mini-Album.  I hope that they will find the right replacement to continue on.  They make solid music.

Sad news indeed. They are one of the few constantly releasing good songs...

I'm late to comment on here, but rumors are he's getting married (once again: these are rumors)
But it makes sense with members' comments etc. from what I read
A lot of people said it would have been better if he left at the end of the oneman tour, though. And I agree with that..

 

Satoshi is the main composer. Bikkey also composed a song. I honestly can't remember if Yukihisa did. I think he did compose one? But it's basically mostly Satoshi, so I'm not particularly worried about the sound changing.

I wonder what the atmosphere will be like on stage though. 

 

I'm also curious if Yukihisa will participate in recording the CD. When was that supposed to come out again? 
And I wonder who will do support...

 

Man, he was nice. He at least attempted to talk to me (unlike Naoki) it's hard to believe that the last time I met him is... the last time I'll meet him. And he had a nice energy on stage :\ I'll miss him.

Are they still considered VK that marriage is a big deal? They seemed to be indie enough that any of the members doesn't have duties to keep fulfilling fangirl-fantasies. A girl departing due to marriage is understandable especially if they are going to be expecting a baby but a guy doesn't necessarily have the same problem.

[anakuro 847]

Even if they don't have heavy visuals they are a band in the scene. 

Though, when reading about the gossip everyone was generally supportive. Mostly, they are wondering if he'll be able to find a job.

[Trombe 22025]

Gt.優一(yu-ichi)(ex-AUBE) will commence to act as their support Gt. since their live at Sendai MACANA at 2015/03/14

 

[Trombe 22025]

Gt.優一(yu-ichi)(ex-AUBE) will cease to act as their support Gt. after their live at Ikebukuro EDGE at 2015/05/06, and new Gt. will join the band at their one-man live at Ikebukuro EDGE at 2015/05/20

[smilesxchibi 265]

they're pretty quick to add another member if they are announcing a new line-up

[Trombe 22025]

their new Gt. is Gt.沢村英樹(sawamura hideki)(ex-我楽(gagaku)-->朱ィ。(仮)(benny-kari)(support)-->「あゃ」(aya)-->BrainStein-->Annie's Black-->合法ロリ☆パンクドリーミングディスコ(gouhou loli☆punk dreaming disco)(support)-->LiPS(support))

[ricchubunny 2013]

who

[anakuro 847]

Lol, I actually love 「あゃ」 and have seen Annie's Black so I am slightly familiar with some of his work... but it seems most people don't know him.

Hope it's a nice fit for the band
