It is said they will continue their activities nonetheless.

holy shit what.

[appl- 313]

wtf

[Zeus 7997]

He's a core part of their sound! I wonder if Sono can find anyone talented enough to fill his shoes. Any stated reason for departure?

No trace of one in the official statement. Just the usual fluff about heartache and copious apologies to fans.

[ShanethVarosa 1209]

This is incredibly shocking, he is insanely talented and possibly the best part of this band the way it stands. I mean sure they can continue activities but it'll never be the same again. 

[Spectralion 394]

What the?! 

[Bunny 1140]

I can smell the disbandment ....

[doombox 4421]

Yeah, this doesn't bode well. : | 

Then again I haven't been into them in a while some maybe some fresh blood will be interesting if they choose to continue.

[Yuuko 76]

That's sad news, he's a fantastic guitarist. I haven't been into them for a long time either however. I'd be interested to hear how different they'd sound with a new guitarist, though I also wouldn't be at all surprised if this disbands them. Good luck to them! Maybe Sizna will join and jazz it up? Haha.

[Pretsy 1343]

Either a ) disbandment or b ) they will find someone else from Anzi's guitar circles (since has some prominent friends from non-vk metal scene)

[emmny 4139]

he's an AMAZING guitarist, his spot will be missed eitherway.

[leafwork 814]

wait what the fuck

[Elazmus 1873]

So depressing, wishing the best to MO

[Deathtopi4 428]

Oh no how sad ;~; really hope they don't disband

[Scarlet Obsidian 383]

I come home from work and I find this...totally unexpected! Anzi is astonishingly good, so I will miss him a lot

[Ada Suilen 652]

That's bad... Matenrou Opera's sound will change inevitably imo, is hard to find a skilled guitarist like him

[Cristate 249]

inb4 Meku joins

[tetsu_sama69 1119]

Wow, that's a pretty serious blow to the band overall. I wonder what he will move onto or perhaps he wants to work closer with Kamijo.

[ruki11 965]

I don't want to imagine how will matenrou opera become. Maybe those bands active a long time with original member is a miracle.(really a small amount)

[chris 31]

this is depressing.. i was really hoping to see them live again sometime but i guess it won't be the same without him..

[YuyoDrift 1540]

So shocked. Much questions.

[LIDL 692]

So sudden. What?!

 

Is that it for Man-Ou?

 

[Vercingetorix 185]

Well if there's one thing Japan doesn't lack, it's capable metal guitarists. Seems safe to assume they'll be fine.

 

Now, if it was Yuu leaving, that would be different.
