Rui decided
to depart after playing the bass for the band for about five years to pursue
his carrier as a fashion designer. This was announced recently and he will
leave after their live concert at AiiA Theater Tokyo on December 28th, 2014.
Rui stated
that he will end all his musical activities and that the decision was made
because he wanted to follow his old dreams, and not because of any kind
quarrels between the members. While the band will continue with 4 members, as
said by Kazuki, no one will be joining SCREW, Rui will be ending all of his
activities in music field. Instead he has decided to follow his dream of
becoming a fashion designer.
Rui himself
comments the matter in his blog as following:
"As
announced, I will be ending my band activities together with my graduation from
SCREW on 28th December. So, after this I will not be forming a new band or
performing as a bassist from now on. I'm not leaving because of quarrels or
anything, so I do feel lonely, however the people around us gave me a push, so
I decided from now on I will live trying out things I want to do.
I'm not
sure if I should say this now, but I would like to follow my old dream of
becoming a fashion designer. I could not be more grateful to members and
manager, company president and the whole staff of our artist office who
understood my feelings nd gave me the necessary push."
