With the end of December 2016, LOKA guitarist "SIN" will be graduate from LOKA. LOKA will advances their way of music with a more intense and difficult journey with a long-term tours in 2017. With a long term of schedules it is become very hard for member to adjust the time with band with their own personal life. After all the member thinking seriously about LOKA, it was decided that SIN" which is one of LOKA's driving force for three and a half years, will stop his band activity with LOKA. Respecting each other's music, each other's way of life, each other's way, we have reached this conclusion. We sincerely apologize that it was a sudden announcement. We look forward to your continued support for LOKA. LOKA members · All the staff Regarding the schedule which is currently announced, SIN will appear on all performances until end of Dec. Below is a message from SIN to everyone. =========================================================== === Hey it's SIN First of all, I am sorry that it was such a sudden announcement at an abrupt timing. I was worried that it has become uncertain that thinking about balancing the band schedule with my own work schedule, when the band deciding the schedule for live and recording recently . Among them, the story of the next long-term tour plan comes out, I think that it will become an obstacle to the band which should expand to the next activity to leap and as expected, it is finally becoming an obstacle, and the feeling that I want to challenge myself as a guitarist can not be suppressed, I had request the band to withdraw as a member so the band could continue with the schedule without being burdened with my own works. For me, my time with LOKA has been a lot of fun, because I had went to various places and having a lot of experiences since i was a support member and finally become an official member. The time with LOKA for more than three years will be a precious memories of my life forever and I think that it is the best treasure. Also the fans who cheered us up to now are also treasures of my life for me. Unfortunately, i cannot continue this journey together. Thank you so much for supporting me so far. Thank you so much for following me. I hope to see you again somewhere. I sincerely pray for the future success of LOKA.
