So, here are some Infos about him from key:

he doesn't have a band anymore...
he became ill end of 2005, even collapsed on stage...

the docs said he have to make a break...it would have been stress (he even had kind of epileptic seizures)
he didn't stop modeling, cause he is the topmodel of Putumayo.
his bandmembers didn't wanted to wait anymore...

[diZzy'n'pinK]

Oh Gosh, that seems so sad but the positie side is he didn't stop modeling.Is he feeling better now?
He is so cute and adorable ^^

[Amaya]

I only know he from pics.. Would it be posseble for him if the break is over that he continues a band?
So sad his bandmembers didn't wanted to wait. Thats really irritates me. I hope he will be beter soon.

@diZzy'n'pinK: I really glad he didn't stop modeling, so he can still continues what he love to do.

[Sugar-San]

I asked Key from batsu ^_^
And she said, that Riku said himself, that he want to be in a Band again. But not in his old band, the members are in other bands now, so he would be in a new Band.
But he will do that later.

[gazerock_is_not_dead]

WOW... riku-chan is ... breathtakingly adorable...

why does his name sound so familiar? Is there some other bandmember named riku besides him?

Haha, his name is riku... so close to ruki... XDXD... *scribbles name on list of cute japanese guys to rape*

Thats the first thing that i tought too XD Haha maybe thats why the name is so familiar!

[gazerock_is_not_dead]

He looked so much like my sister (no, we're not blood related... like friends related?)
I almost fainted... actually, she almost fainted when she saw him... it was funny... I hope he gets better though... and hurries up and start singing again :D
We're here to support you, riku! :D

[Sugar-San]

xDD
I only know one Riku from another Band.
Riku from Phantasmagoria.
Maybe that's the Reason why it sounds familiar xDD

You have a sister who looks like him? Wow *_*
If you want to hear Riku's voice once (not riku from phantasm xD, I mean this Riku here), then I can give you a link to youtube (key made a fanvideo) (or you find the songs to download on the second link on top of this page =D )

[Sugar-San]

[Sugar-San]

Yes, it's a HE xD

[Amaya]

[vidooru yuen]

thanx for the links hes really adorable

[Sugar-San]

Yes, he is ^^
I started to like him xD

and thansk for coming here =D

[merevindur]

I do like his photos, the one of him with the perfume really suits him - he has a sweet smile and it is no wonder he is a model over in Japan.
Kind of hope he has some medication to help him with those seizures if they are to do with epilepsy. Poor lad.

He looks lovely in those cute outfits.

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

AWWWWWWW HE'S ADORABLE!! :cute:

[Rancid__]

aaaw he's so cute xD
It's so sad that he got ill... But it's really cool that he kept modeling! Hooray for him!

[*XlineyX*]

wow he is so cute :cute:
I usually don't have a problem figuring out if people are boys or girls but I have to admit that I thought he was a girl and had to read through the profile thing again xD

he is so PRETTY xD
hope he recovers soon :)

[Sugar-San]

Hey new People ^^
Nice of you to post here =D
I didn't expect people would come here
that's making me happy ^^

I am sure he recovers ^^
Does anyone of you have more pics of him?

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

OMG I LOVE AUNCIA!! yosuke is so adorable ;___; <33
i check their journal everyday but sadly i found no music from them :(
oh and i really hope he gets better thats so sad i can't believe he collapsed on stage ;__;!!

http://xfd.xanga.com/5b1d3b2566431113422581/w80987800.bmp

[MiaCarlax]

He is pretty lovely!
I didnt really think he looks like a girl at all to be honest O__o
just dont see it!

Its pretty mean of his band to get bored of waiting for him, arent people your in your band with usually your closest friends.
Its pretty selfish of them!

Oh well!

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

well im sure they were still his freinds and all but maybe they also didn't want him to keep singing, maybe they thought he would just keep getting sicker :( and they wanted to keep making music thats all...

[Keyjahn]

;449731']OMG I LOVE AUNCIA!! yosuke is so adorable ;___; <33

[Sugar-San]

Hey Keyjahn

Keyjahn, do you know something about it?
Because if oyu don't know anything baout it then i am wrong. xD

[gazerock_is_not_dead]

[RukaNightmare]

MiaCarlax: i really agree with u... his band mates are sooo mean!! He's so pretty!!! omg... i can't believe he's a HE!!!:p

[Sugar-San]

RukaNightmare: Keyjahn said that the bandmates never said anything like this
So i am very sorry for this >.<
Just wanted to know if it's true or not <.<

Keyjahn: why is your name Keyjahn here and not just key? o_o
I like your avatar btw xDD

[Keyjahn]

cause "key" is already taken...

how many post do i need for posting urls?

[gazerock_is_not_dead]

I posted url's without the www. parts, and it worked
I like your avator too...

I thought I finally became good at identifying genders until I met Riku... *sigh* If I was a guy and riku had busts, I would ask him to marry me

Actually, if I was a little older, like 20 or something, I would ask him to marry me and then prepare for rejection XD

he catched my attention, I made screenshots, called him "unknown beauty"
he's simply my favorite
^_^
and here is the hp of his old band members
auncia.com

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

;____; awww i don't think his band members were mean... it's just that they couldn't wait any longer aren't they still his friends now??
I heard auncia is comming out with a new single i forgot wat it's called tho xDD;
Keyjahn
"Uknown beauty" thats a good name!! XDD
@RukaNightmare

I wanna hug him =D

[Keyjahn]

my darling boy!

[Sugar-San]

I hope too that you can hug him before xD
because it was you who made us beeing fans of him
so you should get payed for this (by getting a hug of Riku xD)

[Keyjahn]

thank you!
*smile*

sadly always when he was on events, I was not there...
in the time I was there a concert was planned...
but it was cancelt
>.<
on concerts before a girl told me, she met him, he was really sweet and nice and greet her...

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

@Keyjahn
awww you really deserve to meet him, your such a big fan and you'r so nice ;__;
He looks like a sweet person X3!
especially in that clip when he was talking he was just so cute!!

[Keyjahn]

thank you...
I just found out: with dezart he had 23 concerts in 2 years
and there was a fanclub of him in 2002, cost 4000yen a year...

but there was no contact data, so I think they closed it....
and, he vanished from Anthem...
he was like forever on the hp, had a bbs there
>.<
so now the only official pages are putumayo and dezart's BBS
he still don't published his blog adress and he announced it over a month ago!
*sigh*

being his fan is so hard!
and at the moment my pc can't read jp!
>.<

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

It must be really hard to get info especially not knowing if his fanclub is still open or not! x__x...
im sure soon he'll start being more active on things ..hopefully
Could you post those 2 links please?

[Keyjahn]

which links?

I don't think it's still open...
it was doll parts time and they wrote just about it and didn't listed more details...

Riku wrote he planned some new stuff...
so then there should be more...
the articles in kera are a start, ne?

[[~Hitsugi_love~]]

im looking forward to his new stuff :3!!
oh and im looking for the link to putumayo

[Keyjahn]

putumayo-home.com/book/model.html

enjoy

[gazerock_is_not_dead]

Thank you for posting the youtube link! That woman's face resembled mine... no jk...
sigh, riku's just so kawaii... especially his eyes
I find that to be his best feature, I mean, they're big and bubbly and cutesy
Doesn't anyone else?

Yeah, and you should really meet him! You totally deserve to! Really! And then you could take me along too XD or just come back and tell us how it went XD

EDIT!
And how do you work around on that putumayo site? I understand zilch Japanese except for a couple of words that everyone knows... XDXD
