M 's Departure from Art Cube

Art Cube have announced that their keyboardist M has left the band as of October 6th.

M has been suffering from poor physical health since June and said that while he took a rest and managed to recover to the point where his condition did not hinder his everyday life, he was still uneasy about performing live. As a result of this and discussions with the other band members, M came to the decision that it was for the best that he withdraw from the band. He thanks the fans for their support and apologises for this decision, but hopes that they will continue to support Art Cube.

In addition to this, Art Cube will release a self-titled best-of album on December 22nd. It will feature twelve tracks, including previously released singles Rengechuu, Rurisame and Hanahikage ~Petal~, which was released in April this year.

It has been stated that those who purchase the album at Jishuban Club in Shinjuku will get a ticket to participate at the band's next instore event on January 29th 2011, so it seems that b>Art Cube will continue their activities despite M's departure.
