I don't know how many folks here are fans of BUCK-TICK

[memento-mori]

The singer, Sakurai Atsushi, passed away from a brain hemorrhage.

My username is a tribute to them. And it's also a reminder to please, please, remember your own mortality and that of the people you care about. Tell them you love them. Give them a hug. Write them a letter. Don't put it off. It's too short. It's all too short.

man, i just saw the tweets from kozi and kaya... that hurts. i really loved his voice.
buck-tick felt like they were just gonna go on forever.

I can't believe he is gone, he will be always in my heart.

 

[novaloquendo]

i cannot believe he's gone just like that, brain hemorrhages are such bitches.
may he always be in our memories, the people he influenced will never forget him.

I forgot about scape and came back when I heard the news. It's so surreal; he was still so young.
Is it really that common to die from brain hemorrhages?

 

[MorganIvy]

Not even 3 months after ISSAY's death, and they were both so young...

I guess I didn't expect to be this heartbroken (I was more of a casual listener than fan) but I've been listening to BT all day and I can't quite believe he's gone.

This year has been really freaking shitty.

I also rushed to scape forums after hearing the news, it just feels so unreal. Buck-Tick had not only been active for much longer than a lot of other groups in the visual kei space, but with them having the same members for virtually their entire run, it felt like they would go on forever. I can’t process that Izora is be forced to be their last release as we know it.

This one hurts especially... I have no words.

Is it really that common to die from brain hemorrhages?

I know it's just a bias but it seems like a disproportionate amount of japanese musicians suffer from this.
I did a random google search and this came up. But I have no idea what any of these medical terms mean.

It's really heartbreaking. I also didn't know Issay had passed away 3 months prior. What a loss for the community.

its quite saddening to find out specially when you listen to their songs old and new and you can hear how beautiful his voice and the way its sounds makes it feel as if its not true yet if yk what i mean
