yikes. i mean seiko's been paranoid and overdefensive about stuff on twitter before, but i've never heard of that being vented at any one person like this. any idea what it's in reference to?

wtf they just posted this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aiEYPt5Mz8

i have no idea what's going on

Wait - WTF is happening. Seiko is being accused of physically harming one of the members?

I had my wife transcribe this, and she told me that it says Maro apparently tweeted something about Oomori being a bad person, and Oomori was pissed that she tweeted only about her, and didn't say anything about anyone else. Then Oomori says something like Maro is also a bad person. There's a sound in the recording that sounds like Maro is being smacked pretty hard. I don't know what's really happening, but either way situation seems fucked.

aight

1 - that audio recording is deeply disturbing

2 - translation dimsim posted on the last page only runs up to the start of the audio recording featured on that link. the recording (from maro's line「分かりました・・・」on the transcription onwards) is basically seiko asking her condescendingly if she understands what she's done and whether she posted her tweet with self-awareness before losing her shit

This situation kinda zocs

Maro was absent from the last few ZOC concerts (ostensibly due to physical health problems, but more likely because of the incident), but she was back onstage with the group for their show in Sendai today. Seiko, Maro and the other members all discussed the leak during a break between songs (MC). Some people who went to the show have been posting about it: http://twitter.com/hashtag/ZOC2021%E3%83%84%E3%82%A2%E3%83%BC

well that's somewhat encouraging at least. hope a recording goes up soon.

Live report of yesterday's ZOC show in Sendai just released. Includes fairly detailed transcriptions of what the members (incl. Seiko and Maro) said onstage about the leak during MC: http://storywriter.tokyo/2021/08/15/4992

So what does it say?

Album Rating: 3.9

the tweet says that she left the group because of power harassment on Seiko's part

the attached letter (from zoc management) is basically a formal confirmation of her departure and the administrative consequences re. cancellations and refunds etc.. it cites lack of rehearsals and unspecified hardships as her reasons for leaving

v disappointed that Seiko has evidently not gotten her act together after the bullshit last year, but if she didn't get cancelled for that, i doubt this is going to flip the table

preemptive yikes for any forthcoming updates
