CAT5 9075 Posted January 19, 2018 Fuck [999]. This isn't the downy news I wanted to hear this year. I hope that dude recovers, as he's an integral part of their sound. 1 suji reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiddybombs 40 Posted March 20, 2018 Downy's guitarist, Yutaka Aoki, died at the age of 48 on Monday, March 19, at 14:50, with acute bone marrow sarcoma leukemia. At the funeral, only relatives will ceremony by the wishes of the bereaved family. I am afraid that you will be able to decline the attendance of the general public. http://downy-web.com/news/news20180320.html 8 Anne Claire, Ada Suilen, rekzer and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
