DEXCORE has announced that bassist -to-ru- will depart from the band today on December 28, after their “CLOSE TO HAPPINESS 2020 limited.40min×4MAN” performance.
The announcement published on DEXCORE’s website doesn’t indicate anything nor gives no reason for his departure. Despite the lack of details, it doesn’t seem to be for a negative reason, with -to-ru- giving his thanks to all the members, fans, and people who have met through DEXCORE since joining on July 30, 2017.
Here is the translated announcement from the blog post:
Thank you sincerely for always supporting DEXCORE.
We have the regret to announce the withdrawal of DEXCORE’s bassist, -to-ru-.
We express our sincere apologies for such a sudden announcement to fans who keep supporting us.The band will continue its activities with the current lineup until the December 28 show.
to-ru- will leave DEXCORE after the show, therefore we beg for your attention until the end.This situation may be very worrying to all of you, but DEXCORE will keep going and reach you as always with beautiful songs. We ask for your support from now on, for DEXCORE as well as for -to-ru-.
This, unfortunately, marks the fourth member and second bassist to leave DEXCORE since forming in 2016. Earlier this year saw drummer Naoki leave in February who was eventually replaced by Reizi before the release of their brilliant album [METEMPSYCHOSIS.].
