Devil Kitty Gt.Akina & Ba.Ruchi hospitalized, new single postponed, + activity pause

Recommended Posts

Devil Kitty Gt.Akina has been hospitalized due to his poor condition, which was found to be caused by a cerebral infarction (blockage or narrowing of arteries supplying blood and oxygen to the brain; ie. a stroke), and the band has cancelled their lives from their tour schedule, which included a performance on Aug 29, and later in November. As for other live dates, the rest of the members will continue to perform in Akina's abscence.

 

As a result, their single, "裁きの悪魔" (sabaki no akuma) (due for release on Nov 1), has been postponed; the band will make another announcement about their activities in December, depending on Akina's condition.

Poor Akina. I was really hopeful for him after everything with Egoist, I hope this is something he can recover from given time.

:( that sucks! Hopefully he feels better soon. Is that a condition that gets better, or is it a chronic thing?

This is actually really serious. A third of the people who get a cerebral infarction die. I hope they caught it early.

Soooo this was almost a month ago. Has anyone heard anything yet? I'd go digging through the other members' twitter, but I don't speak Japanese and google translations are basically useless when you're trying to figure out more than just the topic of conversation...

Based on ruchi and Majyu's twitters, it looks like they're still performing. They just had a show at Ikebukuro EDGE yesterday.

 

Akina's twitter hasn't been updated in over a month, however, so I'm assuming he's still out of commission.

Ruchi has now been hospitalized, and he has been diagnosed with colon diverticulitus (An inflammation or infection in one or more small pouches in the digestive tract) after taking IV and CT scans. He is estimated to be in the hospital for 2-10 wks, so his session appearance on Oct 31 has been cancelled.

 

This band just can't catch a goddamn break...
