遠藤ミチロウ (Endo Michirou) has passed away

Recommended Posts

遠藤ミチロウ (Endo Michirou), of the legendary Japanese punk band The Stalin (and a productive solo career) has passed away in a Tokyo hospital on 2019/04/25, after a year-long battle with pancreatic cancer. The funeral where only his close relatives were present was held shortly afterwards.

 

Rest in peace, the OG Japanese punk rocker!

I feel like this deserves to be mentioned here: on 2020/04/25, the 1-year anniversary of Michirou's death, some of his fellow musicians got together for an epic livestream performance celebrating his work. Thankfully the footage is still online in the YT archives of livehouse APIA40. It's a pretty long live so I haven't watched all of it yet, but it seems to be pretty outstanding.

 

The musicians involved and their connection to Michirou (where applicable):

中村達也 (Nakamura Tatsuya) - played in THE STALIN and TOUCH-ME

山本久土 (Yamamoto Hisato) - played in M.J.Q and Shidamyoujin

クハラカズユキ (Kuhara Kazuyuki) - played in M.J.Q

スガダイロー (Suga Dairou) - pianist, I don't know how he's connected but he is associated with Tatsuya for sure

西村雄介 (Nishimura Yuusuke) - played in STALIN, THE END and on some Michirou solo works

 

(The craziest thing out of all of this is that I didn't realize until now that Tatsuya used to be one of THE STALIN's drummers, haha.)
