This is a late post but hopefully people will remember them for their contributions to the Japanese electronic music scene. Thank you Akira Complex.

Akira Complex had enjoyed the best year in their career in 2023, despite battling with a complicated spinal fracture and ongoing chronic illness. Long beloved by the Japanese scene that influenced them, they had moved to Japan to be closer to their friends and influences, and found raucous success in the nation’s ever steady rhythm game scene.
Their label Attack the Music posted the suicide hotline with their announcement, which tends to imply the death in question was suicide; but until we hear from their spouse, this remains unconfirmed.
Their sister has posted a GoFundMe to arrange final costs to bring them home. You (still) can donate.
