Usagi just put out a statement on his Insta btw https://www.instagram.com/p/DbNwMu2D1Xj/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
So far, none of the ex-members have addressed these questions directly. As much as I'd love to see the band return, that doesn't seem very likely. It may be some time before any of them is ready to talk about it that idea publicly. Usagi posted a story about visiting friends, so he's around, but we don't have any more info yet.
We don't know...
but he said in his statement that he will return as a vocalist, but didn't gave any info as he will return as lyrica or in a new band, or just will be a session vocalist.
Well see.
MIME deleted his SNS after Usagi's return, so no idea how the member relationships are.
We only can wait and see what will happen.
BAND is never returning and I doubt anyone would trust PERSON enough to ever start a band with PERSON again. PERSON caused both of PERSON's bands to break up, and this time PERSON's ruined everyone else's chance to play overseas for the first time.
Aughshsj I'm never gonna get over this, I'm gonna miss them dearly :[
I atleast hope the other band members will stay in the music industry for awhile and perhaps someday Usagi will return someday, his voice was so beautiful and unique (◞‸◟)
i know its disheartening to hear, but usagi most likely wont come back.
given his history with abusing his bandmates + randomly vanishing TWICE, it would be a true miracle if usagi was accepted into any group at all.
2026-02-27 Vocalist Mikan (未観) (from Sai no Kawara (賽の河原)) performs as support.
he didn't perform on Lyricas last live on March 13. they played without a vocalist that day.
So Mikan should be removed as current"support" vocal on the profile and set to past members.
Wild that it's already been 6 months since Usagi took off. He was something magical. This band's creativity was insane. I've still never seen anything like it. Losing them is a damn tragedy. I hope Mime, Kakeru, and Mona find new permanent places soon. Mime's compositions deserve to be heard.
eccentricagent could u explain it to me? i honestly dont know much abt him outside of lyrica
I'll explain it shortly, Usagi has really bad mental health issues, and besides that, in his previous band, he got fired and the band later disbanded shortly after because he used to abuse his bandmates, so the Lyrica stuff wasn't really unexpected considering his history
The chain of events surrounding them is truly tragic. This is because they were one of the top ten most highly anticipated bands—particularly within the unique subgenre known as the Menhera Kei—expected to lead the scene and exert a profound influence on the next generation of Visual Kei bands. Their vocalist possessed a distinctive, ethereal quality; their playing style was highly idiosyncratic, grandiose, and technically sophisticated, yet it carried an undercurrent of something unsettling and jarring—a sound akin to a broken hairdryer. The interplay between the texture of the vocals and the atmosphere evoked by their music videos—which often called to mind abandoned hospitals—created a beauty that was at once eerie and utterly unique. Their departure is, without a doubt, a truly lamentable loss.
They disbanded today. I'll miss them forever- especially Usagi. He was my personal favorite. It's great that he's okay though.. it's just really sad for it all to just end like this, but I understand- whatever the case may be. Thank you Lyrica! 🙏 <3
Man it's though to see lyrica go. Was looking forward to seeing them live in köln later this year, but I guess things just didn't work out with Usagi and the band・・・ Wish the members the best
Apparently wearing bandages once now counts as an entire aesthetic. Iryō-kei isn't a costume you put on for a single photo and then abandon — it's a sustained visual concept. Lyrica did it once, with no MV, no lyrics, no continuation, and no actual commitment to the theme. Slapping the iryō-kei tag on them because of one outfit just empties the term of any meaning. Same with kote kei.

the members haven't been able to make contact with him through text/email etc - he's not a missing person or in danger
usually bandmen just disappear like this when the music industry is too much
We don't know anything about what happened.
We don't know if he is in danger or a missing person.
Bandman do disappear like this more often, but this case he is being missing really long, longer than usually.
Usually it doesn't take this long until someone can get into contact.
But we should just wait, if they can give us info they surely will do.
if he was in danger or a missing person im sure his family would have contacted the band by now, the band only stated that they can't contact him, they know their fans are worried so they would give an update if they knew anything
& he has only been out of contact for around a week, that's not a long time. suica from damned went noncontact & was out of the public eye for years before he returned to the music industry.
there's a lot of fear mongering going around & people are saying he is missing, which is not true so I am just trying to reassure fans that are panicking
besides, usagi does not have good history
edit: told you he was fine lol
suji I think the reason people are so worried is because Lyrica is a pretty famous band and Usagi is also their vocalist (the most prominent role in a band), and people know the voice of a vocalist isn't easily replaceable, and could even cause the band to disband
one of the first vkei bands that i ever listenend to!
the first time i watched the mv of strange rabbit i was already like "wow i've never heard something like this before, this is so good"
at that time i was sad they only had one mv, so i searched them on spotify and they had 3 songs
they've grown so much since then!
aghh i see that their new release came out but idk where to listen :(( i checked youtube n i didnt see anything except for strange rabbit and they arent on spotify </3 i wanna buy the single but i cant.. is there any other way for me to listen? maybe itll come out on their youtube soon..
