Fare thee well, Sakurai Atsushi
I received the news of his passing while I was out of the country. He passed back in the 19th of October, but they announced it only five days later. I tried to post about it here, but ever since the 25th Anniversary back 2012, the community became quiet.
I still remember 2012 and its exciting news every week. 11 years after, Sakurai Atsushi finally left this world. The Day in Question 2023 was cancelled, however, the staff and the band decided to rename it Buck Tick Phenomenon 2023. It's reminiscent of their starting indie years before they signed with Victor in the mid 80s.
