Lestat 2167 Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) http://weloveucp.com/blog/sami-ex-cindykate-passes-away/ Quote According to SHIBUYA-REX booking manager Yuya (裕也), Sami (沙美) (ex-CindyKate ~ FOODED SEAL) passed away on 2017-07-18. Yuya's tweet states that Sami passed after an accident. A wake and funeral for his family and friends has already been held. Sami (沙美) was most well known for his stint as CindyKate's drummer, but he was a multi-talented musician who also sang and played guitar/bass. He acted as a support musician for tons of bands and sessions over the years, and was set to act as support drummer for session band FLAMINGO (フラミンゴ) on August 30. — Text courtesy of ©weloveucp.com, @inartistic Horrible news. I don't even know how to react to this. CindyKate meant a huge deal to me. Rest in peace, dear Sami.

Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted July 27, 2017 Cindykate was one of the most underrated bands in the scene. They deserved way better and it's sad to see him go like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ada Suilen 652 Posted July 27, 2017 Really sad guys, Cindykate was one of my first visual bands... really bad R.I.P. Sami Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kareta-uta 99 Posted July 27, 2017 Just so that there are no misunderstandings: It seems like weloveucp used google translate because I can't see ANYTHING in Yuya's tweet hinting that it was drowning. I put his tweet in google translate and there the wrong translated "drowning" comes up but the Japanese tweet only says it was "a sudden accident". 1 suji reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The post at weloveucp was already corrected, and I tweeted out a correction a while ago. Thanks! 2 suji and kareta-uta reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peffy 3568 Posted July 27, 2017 Damn, CindyKate is still one of my all-time favourite bands EVER (not just in VK), and Sami wrote/performed some great songs with them. RIP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, that is written in the tweet in the first post of this topic. Here is a tweet from CindyKate bassist Ma-aya (currently Shohei, bassist of Arlequin) Interestingly, I think he mentions that he'd been discussing CindyKate revival with Yui? :/ Listening to my fave song right now.
