American-born fashion model and musician Alexander Onizawa (21) was arrested on Sunday morning for groping. Onizawa is also known as ALEX, the guitarist of rock band ONE OK ROCK.
According to police, Onizawa was riding a train in Kawasaki, Kanagawa. At around 8am, he touched the leg of a female prep school student (21). Onizawa, who had reportedly been drinking, admitted to the charges.
ONE OK ROCK had planned to release their new single, "Around the World Shonen," on May 6, but the release has now been suspended. The song was also supposed to be the theme music of the TBS drama series "God Hand Teru" (starting April 11), but the song will now be replaced. The band also has canceled their nationwide tour that was scheduled to begin on Tuesday.
Onizawa's agency has said that they plan to make a decision about his future activities after they have received all of the details about the incident.

I was very surprised to see this and also very sad.
I just hope the band stays together because they're really awesome. sad
