Been sitting on the news for awhile. It hasn't changed, though.
For those who may not know, LAZYgunsBRISKY is just Lucy, Azu and Moe.
Izumi split off in mid-June to follow her own star.
April 23 live on Wallop. I'm sorry… I guess I'm just not feeling it. LgB recruited Yuko from FLiP to fill in at live dates, since FLiP
members all moonlight in other bands anyway. So the band isn't
giving up on its comeback bid, although this is not helping.
They've been playing at about the usual pace, clubs and semi-regular
webcasts on Wallop TV. Also time out for fun at 2016 Fuji Rock.
Lucy explained it as Differences In Musical Direction.
izumi likes things of this nature. So do I, for that matter:

LAZYgunsBRISKY appears in the 2015 special artists' promotional video
from Paul Smith JEANS, an annual tradition! SUMMER SONIC is a celebration
of the music that represents Japan, which Paul Smith JEANS has co-sponsored
since 2003. Paul Smith JEANS is a strong supporter of SUMMER SONIC
again this year!〜〜〜〜〜
See you other times, izumi, in other places.
The official announcement sounds familiar.
News from LAZYgunsBRISKYPosted 2016-05-30
lazygunsbrisky.com/?p=408To everyone who has been rooting for LAZYgunsBRISKY, as always thank you so much.
As of the next LIVE on 6/14 (Tuesday) Gt. izumi is leaving LAZYgunsBRISKY.
As we've been pursuing our live and other production activities, and as a result
of many member discussions, we have come to this conclusion.
To everyone that has been cheering us on, this announcement must be a great disappointment.
Furthermore, to everyone with a business interest we must apologize for the serious inconvenience.
We apologize from the bottom of our hearts.
For an explanation of the circumstances of the withdrawal, please refer below.
Furthermore regarding the future for live events, we've decided to welcome Yuko (FLiP)
as a support member. Since we can deliver LAZYgunsBRISKY like never before, we're
pushing forward with a will.
For everyone's steadfast support going forward, we wish humbly to thank all of you.

The new girl needs some hair dye to fit in.—————————————————————————–
At this time, Gt. izumi has decided to withdraw from LAZYgunsBRISKY.
The reason being settled differences in stance toward music activities and life.
One year after our revival, with a new record release in sight, we have had a lot
of repeated discussions. As for izumi, in contrast to izumi's music, that of
"LAZYgunsBRISKY" has changed. A sentence like that, bland and too concise,
tests your patience, but it's the fact.
June 14 will be the last appearance for izumi.
She will continue playing guitar in future.
LAZYgunsBRISKY too will continue to rock unchanged.
After nearly 10 years of pleasure and pain, with respect for the decision of a friend
with whom we've mutually shown our number-one worst parts and our best parts too,
summoning up the love, I would like this step to be accompanied by flowers.
By all means, I want you to come see us.
I apologize, I just took advantage of everybody with that.
From this point forward, we'll continue to aim for the heights with LAZYgunsBRISKY.
We'll go on working on our release. Even though it's late, we'll be able to give you very
good news by the end of the year, we continue to make our best music.
Our dream of becoming rock stars hasn't changed by so much as a millimeter.
The words we said at the live on the first anniversary of our revival were no lie.
That we met up, that I love our music, I absolutely do not regret.
From now on, please show your favor toward LAZYgunsBRISKY!
As always, Luv + Rock’n’Roll.

On June 24, Wallop followers had one less lazy gun to follow—————————————————————————–
For the sudden announcement, just on the point of celebrating the first anniversary of
our revival, I can make no excuse. To the people who were collaborating with me,
who had expectations of me for the future, I am sorry.
Ever since we formed LAZYgunsBRISKY in high school, thankfully I've been allowed
to play the guitar in some form.
In the midst of all that, I've met a lot of people, and under their influence have gone on
to surpass myself. A position in a band like this is my ideal life. As it went on, the music
has been changing little by little, until I had to think about whether there was any way
to continue with the band that has been so fulfilling to me personally.
When I noticed that I wasn't furthering the band in its goal of reaching greater heights,
I decided to withdraw.
Everyone who has supported me until now, I really appreciate it.
The 6/14 live in Kichijoji will be the last, but I want to finish
still bursting with pride as a member of LAZYgunsBRISKY.
Thank you for real.
izumi
—————————————————————————–
No secret where izumi went, the only thing that's hard to explain is why the
finish was so abrupt. I guess tensions got a little too high to endure.
izumi's just carrying on as the guitarist for sugar'N'spice, as she's done since
the beginning of 2015, when LgB's revival was not much more than a dream.
6/14 Thank you, Kichijoji! It was my last live show for LAZYgunsBRISKY.
For the last 10 years, even while we were dissolved, never once did I forget
about Lazy. It's the biggest decision of my life. A lot of thanks for the love.
Finally, my favorite photo!
