There’s some unfortunate news for fans of Gakido. On the early morning of February 12th around 9:20AM, bassist Rito was driving Gakido’s van was traveling down the Shin-Meishin Expressway, to their live in Nagoya. Everything seemed fine until the right tire in the back blew, driver Rito couldn’t gain control of the van, and as a result, the van went into a roll. As the accident occurred, Piyo’s body was thrown from the van, and he was killed instantly.

Vocalist piyo:
When the van rolled on it’s side, it threw him out of the vehicle, and when his head impacted the ground, it seemed he died instantly. However, they did take him to the hospital straight away, even trying to revive him. Unfortunately he was unable to be revived. Piyo took his final breath around 11AM that morning.

Drummer TOSSY:
When the van turned on it’s side, he was caught between the car’s frame and the street causing severe injuries. According to the hospital, he currently has a fractured shoulder-blade, a orbital fracture, a head contusion, a gash on his forehead, and bruises all over his legs.

Fortunately he can now walk on his own, and is able to eat on his own. His life is not in any danger.
