Yeah, I always got the impression that Mana and K were pretty close. Some of the others are probably just "That guy who works in my band" to him, but I figured the two of them were for-real friends outside of the band.
Mana just can't catch a break these days, it seems.

I stayed away from Jrock/VK news for some time. One of my friends kept posting pics from K, that is why I checked out Moi Dix Mois news..

It was not what I expected. May he rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers go to his family and friends.

Yes, I think it's a great personal loss for Mana. K was much more than a band member to him. K believed in Mana as an artist.

This fucking sucks. Ever since he got in this band he would be my fave guy (K Brigade forever!). I remember discussing his future within the band on this very board, back in the day.

Rest in Piece dude, may you rock with the gods \m/

This is so surreal given that he posted a picture on instagram 1 day ago. Rest in peace. :cry:

What's his name on Instagram and FB?

I met with the other members of Moi dix Mois.

We discussed many things and I'm starting to calm down a little.

I found out not too long ago that K has passed away. I offer my condolences.

@Wandering _Fox : thanks a lot for translating.

Seth's words are beautiful.

I can't even begin to imagine how they all feel.

Wow, this is actually really shocking news.
Lem (?) texted me about it about half an hour ago.

Considering the secrecy that surrounds it, I bet it was probably drugs.

First time back here in years, for such a horrible reason.

I always adored Kengo, and I wish I could have seen him again, just once, before he passed.

Considering the secrecy that surrounds it, I bet it was probably drugs.

Please don't assume stuff like that, I didn't know him either, but to say it like that sounds like he wasn't a good person. (Unless there was a side to him I never heard about.) Besides, it's only been a couple of days, they might not even know what killed him!

In any case, his death is tragic, and I will miss him! <3

In Japan when people die they don't always release the cause, regardless of what it was.
Someone said heart issues ran in his family, for example.
They're thinking things like suicide, drugs, and murder on 2ch - let's not be like 2ch ::kisaki::

Part of my job is to research trending hashtags. On the day this happened, on a complete whim (and even though I hadn't been in the m10m "scene" for a while) I started searching for Mo Dix Mois related terms. I kept scrolling thinking the news was a rumor =/

I'm very sad about this news... So suddenly (no evidence that will happen according to his FB account...). Certainly, future songs of MdM will be very depressing, dark and full of sadness :(

Normally i would very much like that, but not because of an actual death.
But yeah, i do wonder how Mana will process this with his music, if possible at all.

On Kami's birthday this year he posted a picture of melon pan with "HAPPY B-Day to Drummer K from MM !!!" Now he's gone too :( I think Mana is cursed? It really sucks I can't believe it!!

When Kami died, did they officially say it was a brain hemorrhage? Or did it just get out? I wonder if/when we will find out what happened.

When Kami passed away Malice Mizer was still signed under a major label and there were some articles in reputable newspapers that stated he died from a cerebral hemorrhage. Admittedly I didn't know about the band when that happened and don't know how long it took to get the word out but I'd imagine there would be an autopsy and due to how indies K's bands were I doubt it's going to get much exposure other than on other band members' personal sites. Depending on the cause and how much privacy the family requests we might never know for sure ^^;

True, his cousin Kazune (ex-MALICE MIZER/Art Cube) had to retire from musical activities after a heart attack on the street, so I'm also considering a heart attack or something like as a cause. He was alcoholic, smoker and used to have a agitated life, habits that don't really help someone that has this kinds of issues on family.

btw, if anyone has interest genet from tokyo dark castle has published some pictures of the funeral, at his blog I think. (Don't really know a link, a friend of mine has shown me the pictures)
