Kra Loses Two Members

Kra updated their OHP with news that two members will be leaving the band. Guitarist Taizo and drummer Yasuno have announced plans to leave the band after their performance at Mynavi BLITZ Akasaka Kouen on January 25, 2019. The band and staff have talked about the request to withdraw, and they ultimately concluded it was best for each member to do what they wanted. They apologize for the sudden announcement and thank fans for their continued support.

In individual statements, no member indicated a desire to retire from music. Taizo states that he has felt the desire to go his own way for two years because he felt a gap in band values and priorities. Yasuno states that his future goals also have changed from Kra's current path. Vocalist Keiyuh and bassist Yuhra both state they'd like to continue and grow as Kra. Yasuno has been with the band for 17 years, and Taizo has been a member for seven years.

Kra still has plans to release their final album together on October 31. That release does not yet have a name, but it will be issued in two types.
