AVANCHICK (アヴァンチック)'s vocalist NOAH announced on Twitter that the band has since left ROCKSTAR RECORDS as of December 7th.
"赤坂BLITZありがとうございました!
たくさんの盲目少女、関係者様に祝ってもらえて幸せ者です。 ありがとうございました!
3月に全国リベンジワンマンツアー決定しました。
そして本日付で事務所を離籍し自主活動となりました。 今後とも宜しくお願い致します。#アヴァンチック"
If you've been following the drama surrounding this label since the fall of 2016, you might also be under the impression that this was the very last straw for RR. Currently, there is only 1 artist remaining with the label and he seems to only act more as an MC for shows rather than actually producing music.
Here is the current state of all of the bands associated with the former Eternal head's new label:
DEVIL KITTY: Seceded in the fall. Currently independently produced
THE EGOIST: Seceded at the end of the summer and is also independently produced.
Dear: Disbanded at the end of August and immediately became a new band known as Irodori with a new bassist.
Meary: Disbanding at the end of December.
Betty: Also disbanding at the end of December. Former band of their vocalist, which was also signed to Eternal, Cherry, will hold a revival show.
Visual-kei Enka Kashu Takashi: Still signed to the label, but he doesn't really seem to be active.
Is this the end for ROCKSTAR RECORDS? What else is in store for Avanchick?
Avanchick Has Departed From ROCKSTAR RECORDS
Daaaamn!
If the stuff about them being financed by other bands is true, they might have a hard time lol. Hope that oneman tour works out
Edit: I have to say though, it's been neat to watch ROCKSTAR implode in real time. Has any other label had such a shitty ending?

Approve Edit Restrict Delete Lock threadI have the feeling the worst is still yet to come. If the rumors about Yayoi are true, Avanchick's Twitter drama is only the tip of the iceberg.
