The official website of the band Boom Boom Satellites announced on Tuesday that vocalist/guitarist Michiyuki Kawashima (top image) passed away on Sunday, October 9 at 5:12 a.m. The singer had been suffering from partial paralysis as an aftereffect of his fourth brain tumor relapse.

Family and close friends will hold the wake and funeral services. The band's staff is planning a farewell event for fans, with more details to be announced at a later date.

Masayuki Nakano (below in image right), the bassist for the band, left a comment, translated into English in the band's official Facebook page:

At 5:12am on October 9th, BOOM BOOM SATELLITES's vocalist Michiyuki Kawashima set off on the next stage of his journey. I imagine he is soaring around the world, finally freed from the restrictions of his body. His passing is not a tragedy, but the achievement of a lifetime goal and a happy ending. The love of our many fans supported Michiyuki Kawashima and BOOM BOOM SATELLITES on their journey, and we are truly happy and lucky because of you. On behalf of Michiyuki Kawashima, I would like to thank all our fans and colleagues again.

"Thank you for supporting us up until now. Live your lives with passion and energy and keep the music we made, the time we spent together, and the memories we shared close to you."

“One more thing, we are BOOM BOOM SATELLITES!!”


Kawashima had suffered his fourth brain tumor relapse in August 2015. The band had cancelled concerts in Osaka and Tokyo last November due to his worsening condition.

Boom Boom Satellites first debuted in Europe in 1997, and they released their ninth album Shine Like A Billion Suns in February 2015. The group has created music for anime projects such as Appleseed and Vexille - 2077 Isolation of Japan. They also performed theme songs for Xam'd: Lost Memories, Mobile Suit Gundam UC, Ninja Slayer From Animation, and contributed to Guilty Crown. Their latest and last song "Lay Your Hands On Me" debuted as the opening theme song of Studio Trigger's Kiznaiver television anime, and the song's EP single was the band's last work.

Talent agency Aoni Production announced on its website on Tuesday that voice actor Kazunari Tanaka passed away on Monday due to a hemorrhage in his brain stem. He was 49.

Tanaka voiced roles in such anime as Haikyu!! (Keishin Ukai), Planetes (Hachimaki), Marmalade Boy (Tsutomu Rokutandou), Hell Teacher Nube (Katsuya Kimura), Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (Shinichiro Tamaki), Freedom (Dorowa), Soul Hunter (Kou Hiko), Tenshi na Konamaiki (Ichiro Fujiki), Brave10 (Miyoshi Seikai Nyūdō), Gintama (Kato Ken), Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny (Olson White), and Majin Bone (Kengo Ryūjin).

Aside from anime, Tanaka has also voiced roles in games such as Persona 5 (Junya Kaneshiro) and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle (Tamami Kobayashi).

LOL She starts naming off stuff and Dr. Phil adds to it. He must be the one paying for the trips.

Miss that big 80s hair.

I tell ya what: you try printing off 180 copies of a unit test (each of which are approximately 3-4 pages long) and 180 study guides while standing in line behind 10 other teachers and tell me if you don't get just a wee bit frustrated.

Says Brave Exvius has a new version out, but when I go to the Play Store it doesn't say Update, nor when I go into the "My Apps" section, just says Open. ; ;

Hooked on Stardew Valley and Feed The Beast - CrackPack (modded Minecraft) lately. I guess I'm in a survival sandbox mood. Any others you guys can recommend that I might not know about? I already have:

Terraria
Starbound
Dig or Die
Crea
Portal Knights
Forsaken Isle
Don't Starve (Together, Shipwrecked, Reign of Giants)
Gnomoria
Edge of Space
Crashlands

mobius final fantasy

ARK if you like dinosaurs.

I meant survival sandbox games :P
I tried Mobius, wasn't that enjoyable to me.


Crap, forgot to mention I had that too.

Have you tried The Long Dark?

It isn't quite as complex as some of those titles, it focuses more on scavenging and survival. Especially if you play on the difficulty with wolves, fk those fking wolves.
