faze vocalist Toki has sadly passed away earlier this month, as announced by the band on October 31st.

The sudden passing comes a year after the soft visual band announced its revival after a 15 year absence. faze was in the middle of pre-production of a new CD when Toki fell ill and eventually succumbed to pneumonia caused by coronavirus on October 8th. The CD in question, GO BEYOND THE LIMITS - which will be their last release - will feature re-recorded and rearranged versions of their past works, and it will be released in advance at their live performance on December 11th at Osaka Big Twin Diner Shovel. The original members of the band will perform along with previous vocalist ko-zi (巧次), who agreed to perform in Toki's stead. A general release of the CD is also in the works.

Lineup on 12/11

The announcements were compiled in video format, which features comments from current and past members and a touching tribute to their fallen vocalist in pictures.


faze was originally active from 2001 to 2006 and gained success in the visual underground; Toki joined the band in early 2003 and was their longest serving vocalist up until their disbandment in Halloween 2006. However in 2021, he, along with guitarist RYUTARO and drummer s.d.e (who now goes by the name Sexy Dynamite Elesy) would then reform the band with two new members to the shock of fans after 15 years, having joined the likes of other older groups that have surprisingly reunited to a new generation of visual kei in the wake of the pandemic. Tragically, that run may have come to an abrupt end, but please keep supporting them until then.
