Sakura also leaves Venus

sakura-also-leaves-venus

We talked about Kanade leaving Venus at their December 30th live with other SEQUENCE RECORD bands. Now Sakura will also be leaving at the same live – the main site states this will be the last live with the current members which hints that Jun and Shigure will be trying to continue on in the new year.

The guys aren’t leaving without a bang, you can actually get a free live only single called 『Lucifer』. So if you’re going to their last live (with current members), be sure to get that.

In other random news, Sakura seems to be suffering from back pain and headaches and has visited the hospital – earlier in the month he suffered his second car accident but so far he seems okay and this hasn’t had a play with his withdrawal from the band.

Random Fact of the Day

random-fact-of-the-day

It is that time again, time for the random fact of the day. Today’s random fact comes from none other than Shigure of Venus. It also involves likes…because I need to take a break from talking about hate. What does he like? He likes Sleeping and baths.

Who doesn’t like that? ST readers, tell me some of your likes.

Random Fact of the Day

random-fact-of-the-day

Its that time again, time for the random fact of the day. Today’s random fact comes from Sakura of Venus. It involves my favorite subjects of all…hate and likes. Everyone knows how much I like talking about those. Anyways, what does he hate? Apparently he hates ‘time and insect’. What does he like? Freedom and Chocolate. Who doesn’t like chocolate? Everyone loves chocolate! Well, everyone loves chocolate besides you Hideko.

I am going to show up at Mija’s doorstep wearing a red glittery thong while toting a box of chocolates. I’m coming for you baby, beware.

Okay ST readers, what are some of your likes?
