@@Anastasia_Paradise The five of them had been in a band together for nearly 40 years since high school and were well known in the Japanese music industry for their close friendship. All the musicians who followed were surprised and talked about it. The sadness of the four remaining members is immeasurable. Nevertheless, they announced that they would continue their activities. They announced that they had no plans to add another vocalist other than Atsushi, that they would release a new album within this year, and that they would perform at the Nippon Budokan on December 29 this year.
💔❤️🩹 Поэтому я и не решилась на просмотр... Боюсь, ещё не готова. Два дня назад концерт смотрела, тоже слеза в глаз попала, а тут... Может, ближе к февралю смогу себя пересилить. Всё равно придётся принести в ТикТок (это уже у меня больше как архив), когда концерт станет доступен. Буду нарезать кусочками, всё увижу... И так немного увидела. Стало ещё горестней
Thank you so much for sharing this! I could only find images. Does anyone know what Imai and Hide are saying? Please and thank you

Thank you for leaving a comment too! I will take excerpts from the group in which the magazine issue was translated. Messages from the participants after the encore:

Yutaka Higuchi (bass): “Thank you so much for coming together today. Thanks to the fans from all over the country who couldn't come today. Thanks to the staff who created such a [wonderful] scene even though they had little time. Since our debut, we have been able to tour and enjoy live performances with many of you. BUCK-TICK is a live band, so I think we grew up playing live. And I believe that we created this together with all of you. Even though Acchan went to heaven, there will always be five BUCK-TICKs. I don't know what the future holds for us, but one thing I know for sure: BUCK-TICK will continue to be with you. Let's all continue together the BUCK-TICK legacy that we have all cherished for so long.... Thank you for your support."

Yagami Toll (drums): “This is an unprecedented situation. I thought a lot about whether I should continue or stop. Since we have such fans... I would like to continue creating. I don't know what form it will take, but I think we'll start recording a new album next year. Imai and Hidehiko Hoshino still have thousands of songs and ideas dormant in their heads. I would like to put them into practice. Please look forward to it. Thank you for your continued support. This is the second season of BUCK-TICK."

Hidehiko Hoshino (guitar): “Today we were able to take a new step. Thank you very much for coming to Budokan despite your concerns. You were worried, right? Everyone was worried. But the Parade [= performances] will continue. And I'll say it again. The parade will continue."

Hisashi Imai (guitar): "Life is merciless. It's so dramatic that it's funny. But it's not funny. Why are we dying? But that's okay. We will continue [the activities of our group], so let's move on together. Accan died, but that's not a bad thing. This is the natural course of life. So it's okay to be sad and cry, but please don't suffer. Please cherish the fact that he was alive and existed, not that he died or disappeared. Achchan has not yet entered paradise. He's still here. I think he will be with us forever. Next year, BUCK-TICK will compose new songs and release an album. Please look forward to the newest and best BUCK-TICK album. But please be prepared. [Even if the number of participants decreases in the future], the Parade will still continue. Maybe I'll be the last one. Despite this, we are going to continue and we would like to take everyone with us on the road. December 29 is a special day for BUCK-TICK. The day to make a toast. Let's raise a toast, hooray! Thank you. Please raise a toast upon returning home and talk about BUCK-TICK and Accan."
