Apparently this is how it happened...
"Just before the release of a new song! A former member of the visual kei rock group Kagerou, Daisuke (Oshida Daisuke, 32), also known as the Charisma Vocalist, was found dead by a friend in his apartment in Shibuya, Tokyo. The rumour says there was no scandal involved, but that it was either an accidental death or a suicide.

A record label staff member said "An album would have followed the new single in Autumn. There was also plans for an European tour this year. We had also gotten an offer for a concert in America...".
However, last night, after a meeting about the upcoming release, overseas tour and Daisuke's future musical activities, he apparently told others he can't get sleep, and after returning home, he might have taken a large dose of ataractic drugs and alcohol. A friend who got worried after not being able to contact Daisuke, went to visit his place at 2am on the 15th, and found Daisuke dead."
