OMG! I didn't see this coming. I was just relistening to Last Moment the other day because I needed to hear some early SPYAIR songs again. IKE's voice was so impactful in that song. Easily my favorite part of the song. Now to hear he's leaving? SPYAIR isn't fully SPYAIR without IKE. No one can replace his voice. This hurts so bad that IKE has to leave like this. I wish nothing but the best for IKE. Thank you for the amazing memories.

I don't know much about this band, but I have UC as well, so he has all my empathy. This is a pretty crappy (literally) condition, and unpredictable as well, even remissions don't last forever... so long-term planning for travels, public appearances, etc. is nigh impossible. It really affects one's life. Good luck to him!

Wowser.. I had my first major flare up in 2020 and was diagnosed with that. Fortunately I've been in remission for 18 months without any continued medical treatments.

I hope he gets proper treatment and takes the time he needs to properly rest and recover.

I hope this doesn't lead to the band breaking up altogether. SPYAIR is one of my favorite Japanese bands so I really hope IKE can eventually recover and return to the band; I feel like it won't be the same without him.

Nooo! IKE's vocals were amazing! It's too bad that this had to happen. I hope he can recover, if there is even a way to recover. The band won't be the same without him...
