Important notice from COIL to fans
To the fans who support COIL
We apologize for the sudden announcement.
I, Yosuke Sato left COIL at the end of April.
It is a conclusion made by my selfish request, rather than the result of discussion including Okamoto definition and staff.
Although I was able to return once after I fell down due to a cardiovascular disease in 2002,
I got sick again at the August 2008th August Camp of Camp COIL.
After that, the symptoms of panic disorder also added,
For over 5 years, COIL's live has been left to Sada alone.
From 2011, I was thinking that I would be able to return to the production of the sound source, and live soon.
However, the disease called panic disorder was very troublesome, and I did not carry it as I expected.
In a form that looks like the feelings of all the fans, Sada and staff who are patiently waiting for recovery
I wanted to get a result, and I also wanted to "live and play music!"
From my wish, live distribution program started from last year with the support of staff including Sada,
From last year, it became a monthly program as "Tell me! Pampot-sensei".
Only in the program, in a relaxing atmosphere, interact with all the fans and live with Sada
Little by little, I felt like I was able to move forward.
And in November, I was really happy when COIL 11th Anniversary Web Site Augusta Camp was realized with the cooperation of all Augusta artists.
After that, I was able to perform onstage at the long-cherished encore of Sada's solo live.
I was wondering if I could do it myself if I was in this condition.
Once again, the troublesome illness didn't let me...
As a result of doing my best with 15% power in 2013, the 120th anniversary of COIL,
It became clear to me what I could and cannot do now.
As "Yosuke Sato of COIL", I intend to do my best.
But how long would it be possible to be onstage in the same situation as before the fall?
I still don't know.
Until then, is it okay to have all the fans and Sada wait for me all the time...
Also, for the illness that I face
I have to do this, I have to do it, I need to get back to its original shape quickly.
I thought that was the root of this, and it was something I was stuck with all the time.
After a lot of trouble, I decided to reset it once.
There may have been a way to become a COIL involved in the production of sound sources alone.
But I've been in that style for the last five years, and a lot of things have gone halfway.
In the end, I think I've been putting a lot of strain on Sada.
It's a little better, but it's better to keep doing this style
I thought it wasn't good for all the fans waiting for me, Sada, and the staff.
And, although it's really selfish, I told Sada the choice to go back to nothing.
I am sorry that Sada suddenly caused trouble as COIL until the end.
In the end, I am really grateful for my approval to leave because of my physical condition.
Okamoto definition, Yosuke Sato, COIL with two people will be lost
COIL will not disappear!
COIL is COIL.
Please continue to support us.
I couldn't tell you directly, and suddenly I got a report like this
I'm really sorry for all the fans who have been waiting for me.
And thank you.
I think engineers will play a central role in the future,
I want to continue my music activities at my own pace because of what I can do.
So someday someday...
Yosuke Sato
It was so sudden that I was really surprised.
It's a shame, but there's nothing I can do about this.
I've been waiting for you all the time...
From now on, I will continue to work as a "COIL" by myself.
We would like to ask our fans for their continued support.
I'll do my best!
Okamoto definition
