Kazuno, the vocalist of the visual kei band Charlotte, has unfortunately passed on to the next life.

According to an official statement on the band's official website, the young singer passed away back on April 5th due to a sudden illness. A funeral service has already been held for close relatives.

Charlotte made their major label debut under Universal Music in 2006 with the single "Yokohama Love Story / Diamond Busaiku". The band became popular on the visual kei scene for their catchy melodies and their lyrics, which often feature themes of youth.

Our prayers go out to Kazuno's family, friends, and the members of Charlotte.
