>Masayuki Nakano, bassist for the band Boom Boom Satellites, announced on the band's official website on Tuesday that the band's "Lay Your Hands On Me" EP release will be their last work, as vocalist/guitarist Michiyuki Kawashima (top in image right) is suffering from partial paralysis as an after-effect of his fourth brain tumor relapse.
>The group has created music for anime projects such as Appleseed and Vexille - 2077 Isolation of Japan. They also performed theme songs for Xam'd: Lost Memories, Mobile Suit Gundam UC, Ninja Slayer From Animation, and contributed to Guilty Crown. Their latest and last song "Lay Your Hands On Me" debuted as the opening theme song of Studio Trigger's currently airing Kiznaiver television anime.
Fuck. I don't even know who they are, but that's rough.

> Nakano commented on the announcement:
>We've finished the "Lay Your Hands On Me" EP, and it's set for release on June 22. The EP has four tracks, amounting to about 22 minutes in total. Festivities and endings, silence, and then a new beginning: it's as if we put the band's entire history perfectly in those 22 minutes. Everyone who's heard it have all done us the honor of calling it an "album." In truth, Kawashima had really wanted to do an album. I feel like I want to tell him, "We've finally done that 10th album." Nothing could be more appropriate to close out our band's history.
>This will be the last work for Boom Boom Satellites, due to Michiyuki Kawashima's paralysis due to the after-effects of the brain tumor. Kawashima's finished his duties as a musician, and is spending every day with his family. He can still speak, although slowly. His arm and leg movement is impaired, and he spends more and more time on a wheelchair. It's hard for him to communicate exactly what he means, so I spend a lot of time every day thinking about what he could be thinking. It would be impossible even for me to understand fully. But I think he feels a great sense of fulfillment and accomplishment in finishing this. Even I can see it. I want to tell him that he did a great job.
>There's only a little while before the 20th anniversary of our major debut, and before the end of my journey with Michiyuki Kawashima. I've witnessed plenty while I was together with him. Looking back on it, nothing was easy. We've had to punch, kick, struggle, and sprint our way here. But when I look back, we can be proud of all of it, and even now those wonderful memories shine.
>Only a little more until the finish line. I'm looking forward to everyone being able to listen to this track on June 21.
Luis Martin
For fuck's sake. One of the best japanese bands. Fuck this shit, that's too sad.
Aaron Richardson
They did some genuienly fun songs but god damn the Kiznaiver OP is literally Take On Me. Not just using the overused pop punk chord progression but not even using it in a personal way.
Justin Campbell
>fourth brain tumor relapse >FOURTH FUCKING RELAPSE Fuck that shit. No one deserves getting cancer five times.
Lincoln James
I'm sad now.
Blake Baker
Damn At least their last work went towards a contender for AOTS
Isaiah Murphy
WHY
Christian Taylor
Oh man for real? I've been a fan ever since I heard Shut Up and Explode during Xam'd's op. What a shame.
Blake Gutierrez

Hudson Cook
Who fucking cares? We're not on the ANN forums or some shit, you don't have to pretend to care.
Charles Turner
Fuck this world, have a ninja slayer for condolences.
Adrian Green

Jacob Kelly

Gabriel Fisher
Don't worry user, your time will come soon.
Elijah Sanders
What a shame.
Samuel Gonzalez
>When you realised that Tomino & Miyazaki are still alive and living healthily.
>The Pillows will stop making music in your lifetime. SHIT FUCKING SUCKS AND I'LL NEVER FUCKING SEE THEM LIVE EITHER. FUCK.
Kevin Watson
they just did a new album
Kayden Johnson
My love is a heartbreaker
Michael Williams
>Fourth brain tumor relapse.
Having a brain tumor is almost like a death sentence and to think that he could escape it five times. Still, great work there.
Jason Ward
Stroll and Roll right? Yeah I've listened to some of it and it's jammin. They're in they're fucking 50's though I don't see them doing it for much longer. >Still no translations for any of the songs.
Christian Peterson
>tfw Lay Your Hands on Me is really about the fear and numbness of paralysis
Juan Campbell
>not caring about BOOM BOOM fucking SATELLITES get out of my sw/a/mp
Jason Barnes
The OP for Kiznaiver is probably one of my favorite ever. Sucks that it's their last track, but at least they went out with a good one.
Brandon Clark
Fuck.

>suffering from partial paralysis as an after-effect of his fourth brain tumor relapse I blame Mari Okada.
Fucking newshit. Haven't you watched Durarara or Xam'd at least?
Ryder Moore
I'll miss them so bad
Isaiah Walker
And here I was happy that they began doing OP's for anime more often. Fucking hell, it hurts. I loved their OPs they were different from the usual generic claris shit.
Cooper Allen
speaking of ninja slayer, the TV version (that just staples two episodes together) has new EDs but nobody wants to upload em
I liked Baccano but hated Eureka 7. Do I have to watch Xam'd?
Ryder Gray
All you've got is to be free You can fade on me now You can fade on me now All you've got is to be free Bury me where I fall Deep into the ground ;_;
Dominic Miller
God damn, that sucks. Also, to still be alive after four tumors and release a single on top of that, he's a real fighter.
Colton Richardson

Oh shit
Hudson Young
What the fuck
Isaiah Davis
Why does Sup Forums only empathize with Japanese people working in the anime industry? You wouldn't give a shit about this guy if he weren't involved in making anime songs. Fake empathy is fucking disgusting.
Carter Ward
>Kiznaiver was so bad that it gave them brain cancer Holy fuck. SAYONARA ;_;

Why "All in a day" they did for Durarara is never mentioned?

Benjamin Ramirez
Tomino still chain smokes. How he hasn't died yet is proof he kills his characters as substitutes for his own mortality.
Lincoln James
Not really a fan of them but it's still sad to see them go. Their Kiznaiver OP was pretty good.
Jack Russell
And your existence is fuck off.
Grayson Taylor
My heart is already fragile, user. You didn't have to type that.
Dylan Diaz
Poor thing. Human beings sure are fragile creatures.
Connor Jackson
sucks and all, but every time I see how boring Japanese people talk, I get distracted

Lay Your Hands On Me suddenly carries a lot more weight. Damn.

Ryder Lopez
Jesus christ that sent chills running down my spine.
Has the ost for the endings been released yet on any site?
Brayden Evans
Yes, like last year.
Chase Murphy
Wow where have I been all this time? Thanks.
Camden Sanders
They had a really good run. Hopefully Kawashima can now rest.
Henry Fisher
>Waaaah, why do you care guys?. Boom Boom Satellites only makes anime songs!
Yeah, you're retarded.
