Metal band SEX MACHINEGUNS has just lost a guitarist. Iberico Moja Malmsteen, also called MOJAMARU, suddenly left the band last week.
According to the announcement posted Saturday on the group's official site, MOJAMARU left due to family reasons. After passing the audition to join the band last October, he came to Tokyo to pursue his dream of someday performing at the Nippon Budokan. But to do so, he had left his wife and child back in Okinawa, and the situation with his family has apparently become problematic, though no specific details were mentioned.
The remaining three members said they will still proceed with their scheduled performances.
