Where's Yochan?
 
It took me awhile to realize that he was missing, I was too pre-occupied wondering why there was this hk, hot looking shaven-red haired dude playing in ayu's band for the latest fated perf at MF xD

so where's yochan? I don't think he's ever missed an ayu performance from memory.... :shrug

Though I don't mind this new guy at all :P

PrincessAyu 13th July 2007 10:38 PM

boo, I do miss yocchan. <3 yocchan is teh best.

Tho around 2001-2002 Yocchan missed some live performances too, yet in concerts I think he's always been there. I love him!! ^_^

Zemus 13th July 2007 10:43 PM

He also missed some pre 2000 too. He has been there from the start. Wasn't he in Ayu's first ever poker face performance too :yes

PrincessAyu 13th July 2007 10:46 PM

yes he was! In an old ep of utaban (when she sang Trauma or monochrome, dun remember) they pointed out yocchan was in each and every live. With blinking arrows and everything XD

Hazuki 13th July 2007 10:53 PM

I hope he didn't quit or something, because I love him~

Norrel 13th July 2007 11:18 PM

It was just one... just ONE performance. My god. Absent from one performance and everyone is going crazy, "Where's Yo-Chan, where's Yo-Chan"?! God. He might be sick, or had something to to attend to.

I would've understood this thread if there had been about three or four performances IN A ROW where he hadn't appeared, but this was just one.

BUT He's "NEVER EVER" missed a performance, which is what is causing "alarm" :dead2

Norrel 13th July 2007 11:21 PM

Damn "You" with your talking in song titles Dx

"WE WISH" Yo~chan "Will" "NEVER EVER" leave Ayu!!! He's like the "BEST"!!

*muhahahhaha*

ExodusUK 13th July 2007 11:28 PM

He has his own career too, maybe he has other work or personal commitments to attend to.

Maiku 14th July 2007 12:02 AM

awww where yo chan XD the ones that should be gone are still there cough Peko and the other one

OMGWTF you don't like Peco and Princess!?!? :thud

Norrel 14th July 2007 12:33 AM

But PECO is the pwn! >O

extepan 14th July 2007 01:21 AM

cant remember him...any pics?

lol. To me Yoshio is the most important part of Ayu's band next to Ayu herself. He is a great guitar player.

bluegie 14th July 2007 01:30 AM

Yeah i agree. Yochan is pretty important in ayu's band. I guess he's the only one appearing in ayu's band since the beginning of YOU.

Choyan 14th July 2007 01:40 AM

hm. no I think he's missed some lives before in 2005 or 2004 ...yep~

LOL. XD To be honest, I'm not all that fond of Peco either...her vocals sometimes detract from the quality of the song. I don't mind Princess though.

And about Yo-chan...maybe he's just taking a vacation? I don't think I've seen that guy leave Ayu's side for lives in about seven years, so he deserves one, hehe. Hopefully he doesn't quit!

Neo Daydream 14th July 2007 02:34 AM

he hasn't been in several TV performances...

Aisha_Angel 14th July 2007 02:43 AM

I seriously do hope Yo-chan hasn't left the Ayu-band because he's just too special to me and many other Ayu-fans (IMO) to be gone forever. Hopefully it's just something minor like a scheduled off-day or something, because if Yo-chan really is out of the band then the third-chapter of Ayu's career really is going to be much more different than we could've ever imagined.

*sigh* first the dancers & now Yo-chan. Look out Enrique, you're next!

Kashoku 14th July 2007 02:49 AM

He was only in one Bold & Delicious performance last year. Ayu even commented on that during the CDL saying how Yoshio was traveling with some other group for his own career. It isn't anything to be worried about.

OMG I hope not. I bet he' s just been recupperating from an overload of awesomness. I can't wait to see him again cause I love Yo-chan. :love

taskinillusion 14th July 2007 04:09 AM

Oh come on, I seriously, SERIOUSLY doubt anything is wrong. He DOES have his own band, so I'm sure that or something else took him away from that one performance. I'm sure everything's fine!

ohsixthirty 14th July 2007 04:46 AM

omg, yochan is fine! worry about ayumi, if anyone is not fine right now its her. :(

alternarist 14th July 2007 04:46 AM

yeah he did not appear for most of the Bold & Delicious performances and appeared for Born To Be... performances with straight hair.. :P

probably he decided to not go on TV to change his hairstyle again.

Kodayumi 14th July 2007 05:08 AM

OMG my brother, dont quit!!!

ruixiong89 14th July 2007 06:41 AM

Perhaps he's just sick.

But yes, I think for fans like us, it's kind of a routine thing to see the Enrique-Princess-Ayu-Peco-Yo-chan line up. Feels weird to not see him around. He's really great!

Kodayumi 14th July 2007 09:43 AM

^^haha yea, they make a perfect team.

Not everyone agrees with Princess and Peco's incessant appearances with Ayu!
Sometimes it looks like they're part of a girl group of 3. >_<" Peco annoys me a lot, she wants to steal Ayu's thunder by singing way more outrageously than her sometimes XD

Back on topic though, I've never seen a live without Yo-chan so it was really weird seeing a red-haired guitarist filling in for him XD Maybe some of the newer fans are just weirded out, older fans wouldn't be bothered by his other commitments lool

Norrel 14th July 2007 03:53 PM

You guys do know that the band isn't actually live right? They're just acting like they play on those TV performances... some of them atleast.

ruixiong89 14th July 2007 04:04 PM

Yar, they do that on Music Station. It's obvious that the music track isn't coming from the band at all.

alt.total-loser 14th July 2007 04:32 PM

^ Odd pic of him... o__o;

I love Yoshi. Really. His hair OMSC.

I dun really like PECO either...

Diana 14th July 2007 04:41 PM

Hm.. when I think about it.. I havent seen him too :( But I guess he`s sick or took a week or something of... I doubt he quit or something, he`s been with Ayu since forever :yes And I love him <3 :D

Ani_C 14th July 2007 04:46 PM

I think Yo-chan is just fine xD Isn't he married? I'm pretty sure I saw a wedding ring! Maybe he needs to spend time with wifey :yes xDD Whatever, I don't think Yo-chan would bail on everyone.

Edit: I forgot about his actual band xDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

AyUmIXx 14th July 2007 05:37 PM

he must have something to do with his band..
or other project...
he's not only working for ayu/avex but other bands too.. especially his own..
Enrique also..the other too...even the backup singers..

I love it when they do that. :D Shows that Ayumi isn't a diva and lets the people who aren't normally in the limelight have their moment as well. :P

Faiza 15th July 2007 01:35 PM

^ I hate it! I don't want to watch Peco and Princess strutting their stuff when I'm supposed to be watching an Ayu performance xD!

LacusClyne 15th July 2007 01:40 PM

i believe he is not ayu's personal band member and he had the right to play for other events or artist too.

i think we will still be able to see him

Chibi_Venus 15th July 2007 07:15 PM

Peco's alright. I don't think she tries to steal the spotlight, I just don't understand why everyone loves her so much ("P3CO!!!~!!!11!").

Anyway, I think I have to agree: There's nothing really worth worrying over about Yo-chan. I'm sure if something was wrong or serious, we would've heard news about it (from Ayu possibly). If she announces new dancers, she would most likely say something about the band, no?

Ah well. Atleast he'll just be missing live performances.

Chandrachan 16th July 2007 12:39 PM

Yochan seems like a nice guy - He'll be back ^^

tehxiinae 16th July 2007 08:25 PM

it's good to know that he'll be back :) i gotta admit, i was worried for a sec when i saw strange pinky hair guy...no Yocchan is like...i dunno, he's such a big part of not only Ayu's band and career, but her personal life, that if he were to leave, things would NEVER EVER be the same...

edit: does anyone else know anymore about this GOOD BYE LIVE TOUR? Not something i've heard of...

Diana 16th July 2007 11:08 PM

Yup I wanna know more about good bye live tour!? What? No way he`s going bye bye :( ........ I`ll cry!

Ayumiko 19th July 2007 12:51 AM

Don't worry about yochan...he's been rehearsing for a-nation (according to his blog) so he will definitely be around to perform with ayu.

PrincessAyu 19th July 2007 09:40 PM

THE GOOD-BYE is a band he was in, apparently they're still active. They had like 70s/80s style music. I bought a best of album in 2005. It's lovely. I hope I can ever find video footage online *-*

PrincessAyu 21st July 2007 09:08 AM

he's back in the 20/7 fated performance if I saw it right! YAY

Raleigh 21st July 2007 01:29 PM

I have mixed feelings towards Peco and Princess. On one level they bring an image which is not fitting for Ayu. Ayu should be promoting a young and fresh image and to be honest they look like dinosaurs in the J-Pop industry. Their vocals are also too deep and not so feminine.

However they also bring out a lively and crazy atmosphere, which is fun to watch.

I can totally agree with that... WHAAAAA! Dinosaurs!!!! *cries of laughing* You're funny!

You mean crazy as in: they act stupid????? :D

Raleigh 21st July 2007 07:56 PM

^ Lol yeah their act is pretty much crazy/silly. Depends how you interpret it.
