Why did s h e leave???

@Schneebergze. Too much gobbledygook out of your mouth. If you don't like it, don't listen to it and seek out something else that appeals to your taste rather than talking trash about these lovely ladies.

@daiiahi3403. Of course, we all miss Chizuru and her radiant smile, but I can't think of anyone better than Shoka to lend her guitar skills to the Avengers. It remains to be seen whether Shoka will inject more of her personality into the music should she continue playing with the band, even if it's as support guitarist.🎸✌️♥️🤘🇦🇺

@oyeoba1. Bad recording? Get the f*** outta here troll

@oyeoba1. VERY BAAAAAAAAD RECORDING? Get the f*** outta here troll. Do not talk smack about The Jazz Avengers. These ladies possess far more talent between them than you ever will. You sorry excuse of a human being.

Well Shoka is in Chizuru's place for one.

@cazzmania_radio. Both WaKaNa, who still appears to be on maternity leave, and Chizuru, who has since left the band. Shoka Okubo is currently serving as guest guitarist. Chizuru's profile is no longer up on the band's website. Just the remaining seven. Senri, Juna, Marie, Miho, Ami, WaKaNa, and Miku.✌️♥️🇦🇺

@djkanyon. Why is it that everyone assumes Chizuru is sick when she's perfectly fine. The statement regarding her departure from the band is still out there if you look it up. Chizuru's still on good terms with her musical sisters' post Avengers judging from all her posts on X, where she can be seen happily sharing not only a stage but some quality girl time with Senri, Juna, Marie, Miho etc.✌️♥️🇦🇺

What happened to chizura?

@MarinedrummerSGT . Chizuru's continuing on solo since her departure from the band. As for Shoka, she's currently sitting in as guest guitarist. The statement regarding Chizuru's departure from the band is still out there if you wish to look it up. The split was amicable as she's still on good terms with her musical sisters/former bandmates.✌️♥️🤘🇦🇺

@michaelhill4353 thanks

@cheesesteak59. Chizuru still killing it solo post Avengers.

So do I! That smile was world-affirming.

@jonspayde7341 You can still see Chizuru's world affirming smile. Just not in The Jazz Avengers. Check out her solo work.

同感です。初夏さんは好きなギタリストですが。

サポートだから。瀬川女史はオールマイティで本気出せばテクニックが凄い。初夏さんは基本的にブルースフィーリングでフレージングの組み立てが根本的に違いますね。緊急処置以上の働きをしていますが　やはり瀬川女史と比べてしまうと..とは思います。

She's not feeling well, so it looks like Shoka had to be appointed at short notice.

​@orioriedwd . Chizuru, who we all miss, is perfectly fine and in good health. Just no longer in the band, that's all.

Is this permanent? I thought Chizuru was just out sick

That would be "no and no". There was an announcement of Chizuru's immediate "graduation" (the word used by autotranslate) from The Jazz Avengers a while after her absence. According to the same announcement TJA continues without a permanent guitar player for the time being. Even though Shoka has so far been the only guitar player in post-Chizuru gigs, her title is - as of now - "support guitarist". Fortunately Chizuru is feeling better, and has recently performed in lineups with many ex-bandmates from TJA, including Senri, Ami and Miho. E.g. Yoshinori Imai's birthday live videos from last weekend.

@@MikkoRinne Thanks!

@@nealmont Well, that was the information I believed to be correct four days ago. Now coming Saturday's gig poster shows a picture of Chizuru and it is a collage of individual photos, so not due to someone accidentally using an old group photo. Poster text doesn't list the lineup, and Ami didn't react to my comment on the poster in her X. We'll see what happens.
