Ridiot disbanding

ridiot-disbanding

Lots of unfortunate news today, it seems. Ridiot has decided to disband after their oneman on December 5th, according to the announcement which appeared on their OHP:

Thank you to everyone who have supported Ridiot.
and, to all those who have helped
staff and all, we bring news.

After the one man on 2010.12.5,
Ridiot will disband.

With members leaving the band suddenly,
and much more obstacles than imagined
the best decision was a disbandment.

We’re terribly sorry for such a sudden decision.

We plan on continuing the remaining lives with everything we’ve got,
and hope to have your support until the end.

2010/10/29 Ridiot

The oneman live will take place on December 5th at Shinsaibashi FunJ and will be entitled 「SIGNAL OF MIXED IMAGINATION」. Tickets are 2800 yen in advance and 3300 yen at the door.

Ridiot down one

Thanks to Piiyan for the heads up!

Ridiot have announced that as of their performance on June 17th at HOLIDAY OSAKA, their bassist Akito will be leaving the band.

The following announcement was placed on the band’s OHP:

We are truly sorry for the unexpected announcement, however,
since the beginning of June, due to various reasons, our bassist Akito has realized that it has become impossible for him to continue on in the band.

For our scheduled lives from June 17th and onwards, we will be performing with the remaining four members, so we hope that everyone can continue to support us.

We will update as the occasion calls about our future schedule and so forth, however, we want to offer our sincere apologies for the abruptness of this announcement.

June 9th, All members of Ridiot

first-single-for-ridiot

I don’t if it’s been up for a long time but it’s the first time I actually notice this announcement on their website. After a really promising demo (“THE FIRST JUDGMENT”) that they gave out for free, Ridiot is going to release its first single this summer according to their website.

The release date and other details such as the price or the tracklist are yet to be revealed.

Random Fact of the Day

random-fact-of-the-day

It’s Big Ern here again with your daily random fact! (Do you like how I switched it up? I don’t want our relationship to get stale, afterall).

Today, you’re in for a special treat. I’m bringing you three for the price of one! I couldn’t decide which I liked best, so here three different facts about SUICA, the vocalist for Ridiot.

What is something that when you’re doing it, you feel happy?
Putting the medals from the slot machines in a box.

If the world was going to end tomorrow, what would you do?
Put all my money into the slots

If you could change what you were born as…
I’d want to become water

… those are some very interesting answers.
Big Ern has never been a slots kind of guy. Take me to the ponies instead!
