Where's Koji?

[Kagayuzen]

Of Lacryma Christi? I want to know if he left or something, because I read this from a questionable source....only to find out that Koji isn't in any of the Zeus photoshoots after reading the recent Shoxx and Fools Mate!! Where'd he go?? (or maybe I was hallucinating that they had 4 members instead of 5?)

Yeah huh. The magazine you showed me he isn't there. Maybe he took a break but that is weird that he is not there.

"February 10th, 2005 - Koji will be leaving the band
In an announcement on their website, La'cryma Christi revealed that guitarist Koji will be leaving the band. Their new single, yesterdays, will be the last with Koji. It's sad to see that a key member of La'cryma, always known for having such solidarity between its members, is leaving, but the band plans to continue. Good luck Koji and may La'cryma be stronger than ever as a four-man band.

Here is what was posted on the official website:

It has been decided that Koji (g.) will be leaving La'cryma Christi. We hope that you will understand that it is a positive and mutual decision so that all of us can freely enjoy making music. For ten years, together with Koji, we've made music together, but if we as La'cryma Christi and you all as well can think of the special and treasured things which will remain, by no means will we think of calling it quits. From now on, we hope that you will wish for best for Koji and La'cryma Christi.

La'cryma Christi"

"After the live on March 21st I will have left La'cryma Christi. I'm facing forward and see this as something which allows all of us to go down a new road, but that doesn't change the fact that it's unfortunate. However, I think this was a necessary decision for all of us to keep leading a rich musical life.

I feel that while there are all these people cheering me on, to come to this conclusion is really inexcusable. You cheer me on, you give me such warmhearted words, I want to be able to give back these same feelings and emotions of gratitude. When you say 'Cheer up!' or something like that, I want to be able to say the same thing back through music. Right now I can't do that and it irritates me, so I really think that if everyone would try their best to again smile happily and meet me with smiling faces, I'll get my energy back.

I'm thinking that first I'll write a lot of songs and slowly begin to calm down again, but I'm not going to slack off. I think this is something I can't do with the other members of the band, so now it's time to go. I'm thinking that I want to meet lots of different people through music.

I'm really looking forward to the live on March 21st. The world which just the five of us made, we made it over these ten years. Let's see that world for the last time and then I think all of us can walk down our new roads."

I guess he really did leave. So now La'cryma Christi, after so long, is now a four-person band. Dammit, it's not going to be the same. T_T Koji.... ;_;

P.S. Global mods can close this thread. I've come to a close on my search. I'm going to sit in my corner and listen to my collection of La'cryma Christi MP3s *sniffle*
