Kra’s performance on December 28th, 2010 at Shibuya C.C.Lemon Hall, will be the last together with guitarist Mai, as he will be retiring from the music business thereafter. Apparently he had been suffering from poor health previously and had already confessed this in his blog, which had been closed in September this year.
Please find the official comment below.

We would like to inform you that, after Kra’s TOUR FINAL 2010 “Heart to Heart ~Kanjo no Rinkaku~”, to be held on December 28th, 2010 (Tue) at Shibuya C.C.Lemon Hall, Kra’s guitarist Mai will be withdrawing from the music industry.
He had been continuing his musical activities for a long time, despite poor health and as the result of lengthy discussions with Mai himself, the other band members of Kra, as well as the staff, it has been decided that he will “retire” in order to concentrate on his physical treatment.
Concerning Kra - the band will continue their musical activities with the three remaining band members Keiyuh (Vo), Yuhra (Ba) and Yasuno (Dr) and we hope you will unchangingly keep up your support and encouragement for them.
It is our wish that you greet Mai for his last time as the guitarist of Kra together with everyone.

In his blog he wrote on November 16th in 2009: “No matter how much worry and sadness, for me the band and music is hope.”
In respect to these words, we hope that music will keep on being hope for Mai in the future as well.
On December 28th, he will be climbing his last stage with Kra at Shibuya C.C.Lemon Hall.
