Sou leaves Lolita 23Q


Lolita 23Q announced that their vocalist Sou will be leaving the band after their October 27th live in Shibuya AX. Sou stated his reason for leaving the bands is "his views on the path he wanted to follow, and the goals of the band have varied from that of the other members."

This news came as quite a shock to me. It's no where near as shocking as Jasmine You dying, but it's shocking all the same. I'm not going to claim that I am the biggest Lolita 23Q fan out there, because I'm not. I like Lolita 23Q though, they're a good band. Their recent single Ceramic Star was one of my favorite singles by them. Sou's voice improved a lot over the years, it seemed like they could have been even better in the future. It also seems like all his "necessary" chin surgery will go to waste. It just seems like a waste all around.

And does anyone else think Sou's reason for leaving the band is obnoxiously similar to Bou's reason from leaving An Cafe? This makes me think he'll either stop making music all together like Bou, or the both of them made up reasons to overshadow their real reasons for leaving.

I also want to see if Lolita 23Q is going to continue on with a new lead singer. The rest of the band hasn't confirmed or denied that happening. I really want to see Sou and the rest of the band to continue to make music. I don't want them to go on to the ranks of not doing anything, like Bou and Kousei.

This is going to be one tearful final concert. I can't wait to see footage of it.
