DRUGS to Disband, Fukuro on Indefinite Hiatus Following Allegations
Visual kei drummer and vocalist Yoshiatsu has suspended all activities after allegations surfaced online. DRUGS will disband after a final show in October, while Fukuro enters indefinite hiatus.

The visual kei scene faces significant upheaval following allegations against Yoshiatsu, who served as drummer for DRUGS and vocalist for Fukuro. The musician has voluntarily suspended all public and artistic activities, prompting both bands to announce major changes.
DRUGS will officially disband after a final performance on October 2, featuring a support drummer. Fukuro, meanwhile, has entered indefinite hiatus. Yoshiatsu had become a prominent figure in the visual kei community, with both projects gaining momentum over the past year before the allegations emerged online on July 6.
In a detailed statement, Yoshiatsu addressed the situation directly. While denying ever pursuing or engaging in relationships with minors, he acknowledged that some allegations contained factual elements. He emphasized that many claims circulating online were inaccurate or entirely false, but took responsibility for failing to maintain appropriate boundaries with fans.
"I failed to exercise sufficient care regarding the appropriate boundaries and manner of interaction with fans," Yoshiatsu wrote. "Over the years, I have at times engaged in private communications with certain fans. Looking back, I recognize that there were occasions where I failed to maintain the appropriate boundaries expected of me as an artist."
Yoshiatsu stated that he provided his management access to his social accounts and communications for thorough review, committing to address the situation with transparency. He acknowledged that his actions contributed to an environment where doubt and speculation could flourish, accepting responsibility for lapses in judgment that damaged trust in himself and the projects he was associated with.
The musician apologized to fans, bandmates, staff, and business partners, recognizing that rebuilding trust requires action rather than statements alone. His suspension from all activities is effective immediately and remains in place until further notice.
The announcements mark a significant moment for the visual kei community, affecting multiple projects and underscoring ongoing conversations about artist-fan dynamics and professional boundaries in the music industry.
