Közi tweeted about this: ã¤ã‚‰ã„ã€ã€çªç„¶ã™ãŽã¾ã™ã‚ˆã€è³¢ã•ã‚“ã€
Badly translated it reads something like "Painful,, and too sudden, Ken"
Sugiya's tweet was longer: ã¾ã ä¿¡ã˜ã‚‰ã‚Œãªã„ã§ã™ã€‚ ZIZ&森岡賢コラボã‹ã‚‰ãƒ©ã‚¤ãƒ–や飲ã¿ã§ã”一緒ã™ã‚‹æ©Ÿä¼šãŒå¢—ãˆã€ã„ã‚ã„ã‚ãŠè©±ã§ããŸã‚Šæ¥½ã—ã‹ã£ãŸæ€ã„出ã—ã‹ãªã„ã§ã™ã€‚本当ã«æ®‹å¿µã§ãªã‚Šã¾ã›ã‚“。 è³¢ã•ã‚“ã®ã”冥ç¦ã‚’ãŠç¥ˆã‚Šã—ã¾ã™ã€‚
Which using online translators to get the jist of this, he wrote about it being unbelievable, ZIZ and more joining Ken Morioka live and drinks. Something about collaborating and fun memories. He ends it with rest in peace or praying for Ken's soul.
I'm sure someone who reads Japanese can come up with a better translation.
It is touching to see different artists pay their respect to Ken Morioka.

That's a shame indeed. He was only 49 too, it seems.

This is terrible news 
A part of me was still hoping for another Sofuba cd some day...
He was much too young.
I guess a good place to start is Ai to Heiwa.
My personal favorite is probably the Engaging Universe single though.
It's got a special version of Engaging Universe that differs markedly from the cd, and a nice mix of Threshold.
As for their most well known songs, I think "Twist of Love", "White Shaman", and "Body to Body" seem to pop up the most.
damnit. 2016 really has lost a lot of fabulous people.
Bowie was sad, but this is just too much. World needs to stop this s***

Is this Ken, the one Kiwamu treated badly? Or some other Ken?
RIP either way, I'm just not familiar with who he is.

This is a different Ken.
Incidentially, it's not this Ken either.

I'd say Earth Born or Ai to heiwa would be a good start!

I still haven't heard minus albums.... 
I read some reviews on amazon and it seems some people weren't that pleased with their latest because it was mainly composed by Maki Fuji if I remember correctly.

I dunno. I tried getting into their solo projects and couldn't, so I haven't even tried Minus.
Is it any good?
I have an Ends cd that I listen to from time to time.
(omg though - it was only 1 euro since hte Paris Japanese book-off was closing for good)
And I gave Morioka san's solo projects a fair try, etc.
Not the same.

Indeed, they've met, and here's the writeup of that very meeting:
