JAKARTA - D'Masiv is on a tour in Japan with the title 'Pop JourneyAPan'. Rian cs's journey coincided with the Seringai tour in Sakura Country, which unfortunately had to end in grief, because Ricky Siahaan (guitar) died on Saturday, April 19.

In an upload on the official Instagram account, D'Masiv shared a tribute moment for Ricky Siahaan when they ended their tour in Tokyo on Sunday, April 20.

"Yesterday we heard sad news for Indonesian musicians and music, because our (and) senior friend too, a guitarist named Ricky Siahaan from Seringai, left us all behind," Rian said in front of hundreds of spectators present.

"Let's pray together that the deceased will be given the best place in the side of God Almighty," he continued.

Rian also conveyed his impression on the late Ricky, whom he described as a good figure to many people.

"He is a good person, because (always greeting) if he meets D'Masiv on the backstage. And when he was a journalist at Rolling Stone, several times he interviewed D'Masiv as well as when we first entered the industry," said Rian.

D'Masiv also invited a fan of Seringai to the stage. They performed the song Merindumu as a tribute to Ricky Siahaan.

This moment was immortalized by several spectators who attended, and then uploaded it to social media. In response, the Seringai Instagram account also re-uploaded the video via Stories.

For information, Ricky Siahaan's body is still in Japan and cannot be returned directly to Indonesia because it has to go through several procedures. It is estimated that the deceased will land in Jakarta on Friday, April 25.
