Duwang 676 Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Roji will leave XAA-XAA and possibly retire from musical activities after XAA-XAA's free oneman celebrating his birthday on 8/11. XAA-XAA will continue activities without pause with a support drummer.

anakuro 847 Posted August 1, 2017 I wish the reason was to join another hardcore band like GNz-WORD but I think he's retiring from music activities in general, which is a damn shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anakuro 847 Posted August 1, 2017 He's the most talented i've ever seen. I hold all other drummers to his standard tbh I'm having flashbacks to Belmosaic when he Quit Did support drums for them the whole time Rejoined Belmosaic broke up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qotka 433 Posted August 1, 2017 This is a real bummer. One of the most impressive things about their sound is his drumming. 3 Seimeisen, -NOVA- and anakuro reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anakuro 847 Posted August 1, 2017 Couldn't agree more. I didn't like where XAA-XAA had been going for a while but now I..really dont have high hopes... 1 qotka reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saishu 1589 Posted August 1, 2017 As far as I'm concerned the only drummers that could fill his shoes are already tied up, so nuts to this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doombox 4421 Posted August 1, 2017 Finding a replacement on his level is gonna be insanely hard for them. He's so good. ;_; Damn, this sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ada Suilen 652 Posted August 1, 2017 Damn! He is a good drummer and anyway it is good that the band will continue, hoping that they can fulfill the empty spot... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shmilly 519 Posted August 1, 2017 That seems like a sudden announcement. I was looking forward to seeing them live for the first time with DADAROMA in September but I guess I've missed the window for the original lineup. It's a shame, he's a talented drummer.

Seimeisen 4406 Posted August 1, 2017 Usually, when a band member leaves, it doesn't bother me or worry me too much... this is not one of those times. I am not okay with this! 2 Chikage and qotka reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r... 720 Posted August 1, 2017 Fuck! One of the best drummers in the scene. ザアザア needs to find someone who can pummel the kit just like he does. Shame he is "retiring", but I hope he changes his mind in a couple of years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shir0 1303 Posted August 1, 2017 Wishing him good luck with whatever he has planned after this his retirement will leave quite a gap :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lereku 717 Posted August 1, 2017 Damn that's really suck I love his drum style and techniques , I'm happy they decide to continue without him but at the same time I wonder if they will be able to find a session drummer or a new drummer who has the same level as him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saishu 1589 Posted August 1, 2017 There are tons of amazing drummers, and I'm sure they can find one that can play his parts perfectly. The real question is can they find someone with his passion? They also need someone that can write their own parts for future material that fits the band's energy. 1 Seimeisen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
