Shortly before micro-celebrity Fujisaki Shintarō IV (Legal name Fujisaki Yuu) was reported missing by his family on the XX of September 20XX, the account for the independent band SCHRÖDINGER— renamed 'THE SCHRÖDINGER ARCHIVE' after the band disbanded late last year— became active once more, uploading a scheduled video at midnight of the same day.

The video titled ⟦ ⌜IN_MY_HEAD⌟ - SOLO // 🦊⟧ follows loosely the same format as the defunct band's online discography, with the distinction of the clear label of it being a solo project of the 'Fox' member of the band. It is 3:29 minutes long and has no visuals nor visible lyrics in the subtitles. The description, which usually directed users to the band's social media instead held only one word; ⌜Goodbye⌟.

During their active days, SCHRÖDINGER stood out within their specific niche by being fastidiously cryptic about their identities. The faces, names and other personal details of the members had been theorized by netizens ever since they won the Downtown Tokyo battle of the bands of 'XX that secured the band's local high-school a grant of XXXX¥ for the development of the Light Music Club after graduation. Yet, their decision to maintain their anonimity had been unchanged even after reaching certain recognition within their community. The most adamant, according to interviews with the then six band members, was Fox-san. Which only sparked further rumours about his identity.

The link between the Fujisaki family and SCHRÖDINGER had been a theory passed around by a few fans of the band, but it had been dismissed by most of the internet as a way to discredit their achievement as some sort of nepotism move. Yet, as the Kabuki troupe's heir's disappearance becomes a more heated topic on social media, people have brought interesting parallels regarding Fox-san's lyrics and tweets from Fujisaki-san's private Twitter account.

The police, relatives and personal circle of both Fujisaki-san and Fox-san have yet to make a statement, and the supposed note left by the dancer at the scene is still under investigation, so no official information regarding its contents has been made.

Whether both incidents are related or not, Fujisaki-san's family have asked for privacy and understanding as the search for him continues, and SCRHÖDINGER's leader, 'Kappa', has also urged members to not spread rumours about a possible comeback, and that all information regarding the band's updates will still be shared through the official NicoNico, Youtube, Twitter and BlueSky accounts to which all band members have access to.
