Kinoko Teikoku has announced that the band will suspended its activities. Bassist Taniguchi Shigeaki‘s departure started this chain of events. He is set to leave the band at the end of the year. After turning 30 last year, he felt a sense of accomplishment after being a member of Kinoko Teikoku for a decade, and decided to leave to work for his family’s business instead. The other band members wanted to continue without Shigeaki, but felt that they couldn’t with another bassist, leading to this hiatus.
