suji 8317 Posted August 13, 2017 Devil Kitty Gt.Akina has been hospitalized due to his poor condition, which was found to be caused by a cerebral infarction (blockage or narrowing of arteries supplying blood and oxygen to the brain; ie. a stroke), and the band has cancelled their lives from their tour schedule, which included a performance on Aug 29, and later in November. As for other live dates, the rest of the members will continue to perform in Akina's abscence. As a result, their single, "裁きの悪魔" (sabaki no akuma) (due for release on Nov 1), has been postponed; the band will make another announcement about their activities in December, depending on Akina's condition.

Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted August 13, 2017 that sucks! Hopefully he feels better soon. Is that a condition that gets better, or is it a chronic thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is actually really serious. A third of the people who get a cerebral infarction die. I hope they caught it early. 1 TomoMAD reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mahoujin 395 Posted September 7, 2017 Soooo this was almost a month ago. Has anyone heard anything yet? I'd go digging through the other members' twitter, but I don't speak Japanese and google translations are basically useless when you're trying to figure out more than just the topic of conversation...

Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted September 8, 2017 Based on ruchi and Majyu's twitters, it looks like they're still performing. They just had a show at Ikebukuro EDGE yesterday. Akina's twitter hasn't been updated in over a month, however, so I'm assuming he's still out of commission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alkaloid 3143 Posted September 15, 2017 If I'm understanding this tweet correctly, in addition to his cerebral infarction, Akina has also been diagnosed with Moyamoya disease and he will have surgery for this condition in October. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

suji 8317 Posted September 27, 2017 Devil Kitty has announced that they will temporarily pause activities on October 4 to wait out Akina's recovery; they will resume activities on December 20, hoping that the guitarist can come back by then. https://devil-kitty.com/contents/124121 1 zaa_zaa reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

suji 8317 Posted October 16, 2017 Ruchi has now been hospitalized, and he has been diagnosed with colon diverticulitus (An inflammation or infection in one or more small pouches in the digestive tract) after taking IV and CT scans. He is estimated to be in the hospital for 2-10 wks, so his session appearance on Oct 31 has been cancelled. This band just can't catch a goddamn break... *Corrections are welcome. 1 Alkaloid reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

suji 8317 Posted November 20, 2017 After 4 months in the hospital, Akina has finally been discharged. He apologizes for the trouble and will be practicing on his guitar during his recovery 🙌 Ruchi has also been tweeting a lot lately, so I'm assuming he's ok as well lol 4 1 Peace Heavy mk II, emmny, Kathy and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
