Jigsaw9 6783 Posted July 21, 2015 As if the recent barrage of sad news wasn't enough: ex-member of 黒色エレジー (Kokushoku Elegy) and founding member of experimental band OOIOO, Kyoko has passed away on 2015/07/19, due to an ongoing illness. OOIOO band member Yoshimi (also member of Boredoms) had this to say: This is Yoshimio. I regret to inform you that my friend, Kyoko has passed away morning on July 19th. Kyoko came from same hometown as I am . We started OOIOO together. She was the first guitar player of OOIOO. She left the band to concentrate to cure her illness but she came to help selling merchandise sometimes to our shows. She started the band with Itoken who was also her longtime partner. Kyoko was 183cm tall. She was on her own pace , optimistic and natural blur. I loved her very much. I do not like to believe she is no longer with us anymore. I love to see her again.
