lynch.'s Akinori arrested, departs band (12/20)

[desparejo86 160]

Man, being in a popular rock band in Japan sure sounds sucky.

 

Alltime great jrock drummer caught with drugs? Kicked out of band. (L'arc)

Fuck with groupies? Scandal causes so much heat that the band breaks up. (Femme Fatale )

Antisocial act/sack-o-weed? Kicked out of band. (Lynch)

 

but, hey

 

Choke some girl out/possibly try to kill her?????........ Eh it's all good (12012)

idt a normie officejerb sarariman will hold his position for much longer in the unfortunate event of getting caught with meth or weed.

 

~antisocial behavior~ consequences probably have more to do w. major label's loss of face in media (jinkaku radio got cancelled swiftly after a relatively innocent snide comment on some aidoru hussie)

lynch. potentially would get away with akn's antics if they were signed to kenzi's independent label for example or even firewall div., but they'll get way less money from having a permanent indie career.

they downshifted from universal (that didn't help shit with their sales anyway) to firewall div/free-will first tho, and had two (?) more full albums before going on a break.

12012's final years were strange. Why is there absolutely no live footage of them performing the newer material? There was one video of them doing a track from the self-titled, but it was studio audio, not live.

There is. 

Before the hiatus, they released a DVD. Sadly none of it is uploaded on youtube or anything but...an audio rip was released here.

they are back!

& a national tour for June/July including a bunch of prefectures they haven't been to before (or at least haven't been going to in recent memory). interesting. probably have some costs to recoup after those free shows + their two months off. none of the venue sizes are really a downgrade for them except maybe? Fukuoka and Sapporo?? so it'll be interesting to see how the venues fill out post-AK.
