allkpop


It has been announced that rock band MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS will lose their guitarist,�Ishimoto Chiemi, after the last stop of their national tour on December 11th at CLUB QUATTRO.

MASS OF THE FERMENTING DREGS was formed in 2004 by lead vocalist and bassist,�Miyamoto Natsuko and Ishimoto Chiemi, who has been the guitarist for the past six years.� The reason for Ishimoto's withdrawal is a medical panic disorder, one that the guitarist hopes to cure with treatment.

Ishimoto commented, "my personal health was a burden to the members and staff. �I always had this anxiety.� This was a part of what caused my fits.� I felt I had just become a burden."

After discussing the health issues with the other members, they decided there was also a division in their musicianship. �For activities of the band from here on out, Ishimoto will be officially retired.

Regarding Ishimoto's retirement, both Miyamoto and drummer Tsutomu released a comment.� Miyamoto said, "For the three of us, we have to be healthy every day.� We are constantly making music because we love it.� We had lots and lots of� meetings and this is the answer."� Tsutomu commented, "Right now, all I can say is that I love music and I want to continue doing music.� We will complete our soon to start tour all the way through December!� Just like that!"

The final concert tour with Ishimoto starts on October 29th in Kobe.� Ishimoto's last performances will be held at the Shibuya CLUB QUATTRO in December.
