Sad news friends (probably not news by now, but sad either way). Maaki, the voice behind HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR is leaving the band by the end of the year.
Well, that certainly came our of nowhere. I found out about two or three days ago that Maaki married DREAMS COME TRUE's Masato Nakamura (who is more than twice Maaki's age) and will be leaving HandMC to start her family.
Needless to say, this poor little fan is bummed. Maaki accounted for almost 50% of why I like HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR (face it, she's smexy xD). Ah, what are we to do? Nothing! that's what!
Look, I know that HandMC will not be the same without Maaki. There is (at least from what I can tell) no singer that can sing like Maaki does (even with her new HOT LIMIT voice) and in losing her, HandMC loses a big part of it (face it, again, she's the only one that can sing with Yuusuke and keep the rhythm going). But, dear fans, there is nothing we can do. Maaki has made her decision as has the rest of HandMC, since they'll be looking for a second lead vocalist next year.
All we can hope is that no matter their choice, the songs still kick @ss and that Maaki has the best last six months with the band.
ah...i'm gonna go be bummed some more

I also hope that the new singer comes close to Maaki's range in PRIDE or 'Here I am'
