Scarlet Valse to Lose Two Members

This has been a tumultuous year for visual kei band Scarlet Valse. Their drummer Hiroki retired in June citing a struggle with persistent back pain, and now two more members have announced that they will be departing at the end of the year.

Guitarist Jun and bassist Takuya will withdraw after Scarlet Valse's live at Ikebukuro RUIDO K3 on December 31st due to musical differences. The band apologized for the sudden announcement, stating that they plan to continue activities and they hope that fans will continue to support them in the future.

In addition to their latest mini-album, Darkness Circus, which came out in October, Scarlet Valse recently released a live DVD. Titled 2016.09.23 Takadanobaba AREA Secret Eden ~Kakusei~, it was limited to sale at lives and through Starwave Records' online store.
