This is from a visual kei blog. I take no credit for it:
Since the news about Mitsuru leaving SuG has made official in their OHP, I know Mitsuru ファン out there would like to hear what is he going to say about this matter. So here's the translation I've obtained from Heavy Positive Rock Diaries Community in Live Journal. Credit to Harucchi from Live Journal for the translation.
So here's the translation of Mitsuru's blog on April 30.

It's been a long time
I want to say a few things first,
I'm sorry for the worry I've caused...
Honestly, announcing my withdrawal, あなた guys took it very well when contacting me but what kind of good things and bad things and worrisome things to write here.
I haven't been able to sleep since I've been worried, and during the 日 I've been drinking a lot to pass out, just so I can sleep.
From the 日 of the announcement, I knew I was going to get the usual 1000 fanmails.
And then I became afraid of my self-confidence...
But after a long time, going to the office there were a lot of letters and presents.
Though at last, I have the strength to go with this determination.
Though getting mail and letters, everyone gave warm detail.
Truly warming, so warming, after a long time the tears stopped coming.
Then, I began to worry like a complete idiot.
I think May 9th will be exactly how SuG's MITSURU will be wanting to do things.
It appears that there is no substitute for あなた guys, though one によって one あなた support [me].
Truly, thank you.
But the live on May 9th will be mutal with no self-control, it isn't unreasonable to want to laugh at the person laughing, または to cry when the person is crying; it's a mutal emotion that affects us when we encounter!
Me and all of あなた guys are "human beings", after all.
But あなた guys, I just want my self-confidence.
But people alone, holding powerful and gentle support.
And all that support that I'm getting, to those people...
From my heart, thank you.
And now.
I 愛 あなた so much.

According to Isshi’s official website, Isshi was found dead in his ホーム on July 18th. At the request of his grieving フレンズ and family, a funeral for the 星, つ星 was already held at an undisclosed location. The website also went on to state that Isshi’s pre-planned ディナー shows for July 27th and 28th have been altered to become a memorial event.
Although there are many rumors circulating on the internet, representatives have yet to reveal official details regarding the manner of his death. Our condolences to his loved ones as they mourn the loss of this truly talented individual. May he rest in peace
