Looks like we get to add another one to the disabled list this week. It was recently announced that D.I.D. will go on indefinite hiatus due to the mental illness of their vocalist, Akane. Akane has been diagnosed with Schizophrenia and Bipolar disorder and been admitted to hospital. Do to his inability to work, all planned releases and future performances have been canceled.
The folks over at Shattered Tranquility have been kind enough to translate member comments on his illness as well as Akane's letter to his fans.
