vistlip in Car Accident

Posted by Justyne On July - 30 - 2010ADD COMMENTS 　

vistlip

Late last night, the members of vistlip and their manager were involved in a terrible car crash. There were 8 people total riding in the van that belonged to Tomo, vistlip’s vocalist, as they drove back from a concert. Around 1 am (Japan time) the van crashed into the side of Nagae Tunnel in Nakano resulting in the death of vistlip’s manager, Asako Sakakibara, who was thrown from the vehicle and died from the impact.

The other passengers, including the members of vistlip, were treated for minor injuries and there have not been any other fatalities reported, thus far. As of now, there haven’t been any reports stating the cause of the accident but perhaps we’ll see word from the band members themselves about what happened.

We hope the band can recover from the tragic loss of their manager and that they heal quickly from the injuries they might have sustained.

Fun Fact: Lovelie’s First Birthday!

Posted by Noah On July - 28 - 20101 COMMENT 　

Miyavi , 雅-MIYAVI-

It’s been a long and eventful past year for Miyavi, he has gotten married, had his first child, and even toured the world! And despite all of the recording, events, and live performances he has to do daily, he still manages to find time to be a family man, often tweeting and talking proudly about his daughter Lovelie!

Actually, he just tweeted earlier today that tomorrow will be Lovelie’s very first Birthday! He seems pretty excited about it, so much so that he flew all the way back to home to be with her on the special day.

“i jetted back home cuz Lovelie’s turning 1 year old on the 29th. but she was already sleeping.”

He’s quite the father, isn’t he? Even with the never-ending work, he still shows that his family is his top priority. Now, I wonder when we should be expecting baby number two to make it’s first appearance?
