Damn. I wonder how the heck he fell from there? 

[Devilish_Eye 1168]

Fuck.... 

[patientZERO 1066]

That's too soon. And to leave behind two daughters and a wife. He will be missed.

[Licio123 181]

What a tragedy! RIP

[Kiyoharu is God 283]

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm in total shock. Was wondering why I hadn't seen a lot of tweeting from him recently. I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally  loved his music. Always searching for anything he was involved in because I loved his playing.

 

Was such a fan of his. He had two daughters too. Heartbreaking.

 

 

[YuyoDrift 1540]

Wow, and he was only in his 30's.

Too damn soon.

[maryeon 28]

Another great talent lost. May he rest in peace T-T

[Ro plz 1290]

RIP :/

[Wicked Teletubby 528]

damn. I kind of liked the way he always looked super happy to be on stage like it was his first time ever.

RIP.

[yuugure 92]

Jeez, I can't believe it. He was so good at what he did - he always stood out to me the most during the times I saw them live. Really no words. RIP.

Heard about this via Mina (Destrose, FATE GEAR) before the English-language music press started breaking the news.

 

I think she studied under him at MI Japan, but yeah, this video she posted broke my heart.
 

 

[LIDL 692]

Damn, I misread at first and my heart skipped  beat.

 

Still, it is sad, isn’t he also the growling vocal for BM? 

 

Such a loss. R.I.P

[maliceandmisery 9]

RIP. All the great talents are gone too soon...

Quote

Guitarist Mikio Fujioka san has departed to Heaven.

We shared the stage many times, and he has taught me really a lot of things.
Whenever I felt lost or I was troubled about my musical performance, I always contacted Fujioka san.
Despite all my constant and troublesome questions, he always replied in a gentle and polite way.
Occasionally, he made an explanation attaching a video.
I really admire from the bottom of my heart both his guitar playing and his personality.

I wanted to learn more from Fujioka san.
I wanted to play more music together.

No matter how much I think about it, I still can't believe it, and it's heart-breaking. I feel a pain in my chest.

But towards the end of the funeral, Fujioka san's mother told me this: "Mikio kun was a boy who loved cheerful things, so please see him off with a smile, do this for him. I will also spend my days as cheerfully as usual as I did up to now. Because I think that is what would make Mikio-kun the most happy."

When I think about Fujioka san, he was always playing with a smile, showing that he was having fun.
Always laughing.

Therefore, with Fujioka san's thought always in my mind, I'd like to keep living every day with a smile.

Fujioka san, I'm truly grateful.
I'm happy to have met you.

I pray from the bottom of my heart for your happiness in the afterlife.

Leda
