posted on by Anita Tai
The official website for Japanese rock band SPITZ announced on Sunday that its drummer Tatsuo Sakiyama was rushed to the hospital after sustaining serious injuries across his entire body in a traffic accident. His injuries are not life-threatening, but he will be hospitalized for a period of time to focus on his treatment and recovery.
The band will use pre-existing recordings of Sakiyama's performances for upcoming television appearances and will perform promotional activity for their upcoming album kettle with the other three members. Sakiyama's hospitalization will not affect the release schedule for previously recorded material.
The band's management at Grasshopper will monitor Sakiyama's condition and announce decisions regarding the band's future appearances at events such as the "Be Fes" event in February and the "SPITZ Jamboree Tour 2027 'kettle'" event in March.
SPITZ has performed music for several anime projects such as the opening theme song for Spy×Family season 3 and the theme song for Detective Conan: Kurogane no Submarine (Iron Submarine) film, as well as the theme song for the live action film of Fumi Yoshinaga's What Did You Eat Yesterday? (Kinō Nani Tabeta?) manga.
