Rock band Fukuro announced on X on the 4th that it has disbanded, four months after suspending activity indefinitely. The remaining three members said they could not restore trust among themselves and would dismiss Yoshiatsu, the band's frontman and lyricist.
Fukuro went on indefinite hiatus on July 6, 2026. At the time, trust between Yoshiatsu and the other members was already fraying, and some members wanted him fired, according to the announcement. The band could not reach a consensus and found continuing difficult.
In the statement, the members said they had chosen to step back and re-examine what Fukuro should be, hoping to regain the trust of fans and people in the industry and to find a way for all four to work together again. They arranged a meeting to discuss the future, but concluded that trust could not be restored and that Yoshiatsu could not continue as a member.
“With the above in mind, as the unanimous will of the remaining three, we have decided to dismiss Yoshiatsu from the band.”the band's statement on X
The band said it could not continue without the frontman who wrote the lyrics to all of its songs, and that since its formation the members had held to the view that continuing with even one member missing would be difficult. Fukuro therefore ends on the day of the statement.
The members apologized for having to deliver the news and thanked fans and people in the industry who supported the band over roughly five years since it formed. They said they were especially sorry to those who had waited for a comeback.
Yoshiatsu suspended entertainment work in July over his handling of speculation and a scandal involving an inappropriate relationship with a minor fan. The band DRUGS, which he was also in, disbanded, and Fukuro suspended activity indefinitely.
The statement does not say what the relationship involved or what Yoshiatsu has said about it. It confirms only that the band has ended, and leaves fans without a stated account of the conduct behind the suspension.
