A couple weeks ago, we posted that lynch. had cancelled all activities following their bassist Akinori's arrest. The band has followed up on that and recently announced on their official Facebook page that Akinori will leave the band. Here are their official statements:
To everyone who has supported lynch.:
I, Akinori, was arrested by Aichi Prefectural police and charged with possession of marijuana under the Cannabis Control Law on November 22nd, 2016. I was indicted on December 13th.
Due to my own reckless behaviour, I have caused an unforgivable scandal and given a great deal of trouble to the band members, staff and related parties. For that I am deeply sorry.
Also, to all the fans that have continually supported me, I apologize for upsetting and disappointing you. I am so sorry.
I told the other members directly that I planned to leave lynch. which they acknowledged, so this is my official announcement.
As this is the final word, I am extremely sorry to all the fans, staff and related parties for all the trouble that I have caused. I’m extremely grateful for all the support you have given me till now.
Thank you so much.
