Some sad news for Chemical Picture's fans, it seems that Jimi the bassist is going to be departing the band after their live on December 20th at Shimokitazawa Shelter. This is sad to hear considering they just got a new guitarist in September, you can see that post here. I'm unsure if this will be affecting their album set to release in January or not but when more information is released we will update you and it also seems that ,according to Jimi's blog post, it is not musical difference between the members of the band that is the reason for his departure but here is the messgae he left for his fans:
December 20th is my last show with Chemical Pictures.
There are lots of reasons I'm leaving--wanting to get my visa straight,
wanting a more stable life, ftc.--but none are due to 'musical differences' or
internal struggles.
I still believe CPS is a strong group of great musicians
and friends who should and will go all the way. I just won't be there with them.
You've all been great supporters and friends and I hope you've enjoyed
watching my little foray into music and such. And I'm sorry if this is a sudden
shock.
I don't see myself being in bands anymore, at least not as a main
member in an active vk band, but it wouldn't be fair to disappear forever. I'll
be around in some capacity, maybe, though it may not be soon. And I'll still be
in Japan.
Thank you all so much!!
We hope that Jimi finds his true calling during his absence from CPS and hope that all his fans continue to support him no matter what!!
