Random Fact of the Day

random-fact-of-the-day

Hello my lovely readers!

I’m so happy to hear that so many of you are glad to have me back!

Today’s random fact is about Awoi. The new mini-album, CHILDREN, is coming out at the end of the month, on October 26th. In one of his most recent blog entries, Shin compared their newest work to the White Album by the Beatles!

He said,

Without fear of being mistaken, so to speak, the Beatles’ “White Album” was like an experiment, and in the same sense, so is Awoi’s “CHILDREN”.

Are you guys looking forward to hearing Awoi’s new work?
You can find more information about the release in this post!

Awoi loses Hiro

awoi-loses-hiro

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

アヲイ (Awoi) have announced that their drummer, ヒロ (Hiro), will be leaving the band after their live on April 17th at OSAKA MUSE.

The following comment from Hiro has been posted on the band’s OHP:

To the Fans of Awoi,
I’m sorry for the unexpected announcement.
At this time, we have decided that after our live on April 17th, I, Hiro, will be leaving Awoi.

There are many different reasons as to why I’ve decided to leave, however, the biggest reason is due to personal circumstances.

I’ve been worrying about it a lot, and we had many discussions about it.

As a result, I chose the path of “leaving” [the band].

I don’t really know what I should say, but this is how I honestly feel.

It’s been about three and a half years since I started as support and became an official member of the band, and the time I’ve spent with Awoi has honestly been packed with great things, and it’s something that would be difficult to replace.

The last live with the current line-up will be on April 17th, and I hope that we can make that an amazing live to bring things to a finish [for me as a member of the band].

There isn’t a lot of time left, but I’ll put all my energy into Awoi until the very end, so I hope that you will continue to support me.

Hiro

In his personal blog, he also states that this is not an April Fool’s joke.
