Hiroki will leave Crazy★shampoo on September 4

I was waiting for some announcement, but I'd have been much happier about a new single or something...
This is from their mail magazine (or their blogs).

We are very thankful for your continued support.

It has been decided that our drummer Hiroki, who was with us since we started our activities, will leave that band on September 4, 2012, after our guest appearance at Ikebukuro Cyber.

We apologize deeply for this sudden news.

We discussed the matter among the members and staff many times, however, due to Hiroki's strong intention and wish, he will now leave the band.

Yet, nothing will be changed about Crazy★shampoo's schedule.

Member comment:
We are very sorry about this sudden notice. Hiroki will leave Crazy★shampoo next month on September 4. It is the result of countless discussions we had before that. But we would like everyone to understand that this is a positive decision. There was by no means a discord between the members, and we think everyone knows that the 5 members of Crazy★shampoo get along very well. It is not like Hiroki has come to dislike Crazy★shampoo. However, Hiroki, during his activities in Crazy★shampoo, formed the dream that "as a drummer, I would like to try to do activities in another place". At the first, the members have stopped him, however, no matter how many times the discussions continued, we thought "isn't it wrong to continue to unreasonably restrain Hiroki's dream like that?". Therefore, we have officially announced our conclusion.

Crazy★shampoo will continue without changes, and Hiroki will also continue with drums. Our paths become separated paths, however, for our mutual dreams, from here on
With all our might
We promise to not stop. Please, from here on, give your support to Crazy★shampoo and also Hiroki. And also please treat Hiroki well as the drummer of Crazy★shampoo until he leaves on September 4.
