Today’s fact is about ZORO! Do you remember when Mija wrote about their comeback live? It is successfully over, but do you want to know who were the support members?
Well…

Teruki (An Cafe) and Ketch (ex-KYOKUTOU GIRL FRIEND)!
They are still searching for new members or supports, so unfortunately it seems that these two won’t join the band officially.
Anyway – ZORO also has released new single 「POLICE」 during our hiatus, and here is official preview of the PV.
Do you like it?

ZORO to continue activities with 2 members

ZORO recently announced their hiatus.
However, yesterday during their last performance with all four members at C.C. Lemon Hall,
ZORO announced that drummer Yuya and guitarist Taizo will be leaving the band eventually.
But vocalist Ryuji and bassist Tatsuhi also announced that ZORO will not disband completely,
because the two of them will continue their activities in the future.

Amongst the sounds of sobs and crying of the audience,
Ryuji said: “ZORO won’t break up. I and Tatsuhi will protect ZORO.”
Is this considered good news or bad news ?

Was this a shock to ZORO fans? Lets hope for a speedy return!!

It’s time to share some interesting hobbies with you! This time I looked closely at what Zoro’s members are interested in
Ryuji – production, collecting
Taizo – looking for delicious alcohol, doing hair & make-up
Tatsuhi – buying things
Yuya – appreciation of music, walking
Well, I surely do love looking for delicious carrots! Oh, and combing my shiny fur as well, that does count as doing a hairdo, right?
