Yuu Leaving DIAURA

One year after joining Drummer Yuu had to leave Visual Kei band DIAURA due to health problems.

Since May Yuu didn’t perform with the band anymore due to tendonitis. The band hoped that everything will turn out well but it seems like those health problems are more serious than they thought. After several medical examinations they came to know that he has a tendon rupture and it’s difficult for him to play the drums from now on. For Yuu in his current condition the physical and psychical stress is too huge to continue with the band so he asked to withdraw.
All the members and especially Yuu are feeling very sorry that they had to make such a decision.

DIAURA will continue as three-member band.
