believe what i say

“it’s been a long time since I last met you, but you’re still the same no matter how old you are! you’re the best! thank you always!” — taka to ryota.

babymetal’s crowd and fans are always wild and very responsive. but this crowd just hits differently, i personally think that they top every babymetal live performances! the energy, the fox god hand signs and their fanchants... damn they are beyond passionate with what they are doing.

The official website of his office announced today that The Guitarist Toru of rock band ONE OK ROCK has been infected with the new coronavirus and is hospitalized.

On July 27, the site says, “We are displeased to announce that our artist Toru (ONE OK ROCK) was confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus. On the morning of July 27, due to fever and chills, I took a PCR test on the same day and confirmed a positive test.”

He continued, “It is Toru, I have received a positive test and am recuperating at a medical institution in Tokyo, but my condition is stable at present. Other members do not fall under strong contact and are in good shape.”

“In addition, we have established a countermeasure committee to prevent the new coronavirus infection of artists, manage the health and activities of artists, and are working on measures such as requiring the staff in charge to thoroughly disinfect and ventilate in the field, and to carry masks and disinfectants. Going forward, we will continue to make efforts to prevent the spread of infection even further, with the first priority being to ensure the safety of artists, employees, and related parties.”

he was a man who can literally light up an alley with just his smile. a man who had inspired tons of individuals with his craft, and a man who showed nothing but kindness and indulgence to this cruel world. life is indeed excruciating and sometimes, suffocating, and I personally know how hard it is to deal with all these by yourself. unsaid thoughts and fears will keep eating you up. i just hate the fact that you had to endure all that, you had to deal with the world’s bullshit. you didn’t even showed weakness in front of the camera, you are always radiant and jovial. it is just so hard to accept, even more painful to think that you are gone because of how fucked up and how badly this world could ruin you.

this man made my adolescence, even my adulthood more meaningful and little less horrible, for he and his dramas, as well as his films helped me a lot to easily cope up with life and distract me from all the bad things that i could encounter outside my house. how i wish i could do the same thing to you.

i will surely miss your smile. my heart is still in pain and i am not sure how long i will suffer from this grieve. but always know that, wherever you are right now, i only wish you nothing but genuine happiness and solace. you are a wonderful person, HARUMA and I am beyond thankful for your existence. gone too soon, but you will remain in our hearts forever. we just love you so much.
