Sad news comes from the music world of the homeland. Guitarist of the band Seringai, Ricky Siahaan, passed away on Saturday (19/4/2025) in Tokyo, Japan. Ricky took his last breath after performing in the series of tours titled Seringai Wolves of East Asia Tour 2025. The process of repatriating the body to Indonesia cannot be done in the near future.
“As of this morning, there is still no certainty about the day and date when the body will arrive in the homeland. The prediction is on Friday,” said Seringai's manager, Wendi Putranto, when contacted on Monday (21/4/2025).
Wendi explained that the process of repatriating Ricky's body takes time because it must go through several procedures. He stated that Japanese authorities are very meticulous in handling cases of foreign nationals' deaths.
“Because the clearance procedures for the sudden death of a foreign national are quite lengthy and very meticulous in Japan, it takes time,” Wendi continued.
As of now, the guitarist's body is still in Tokyo. Only his wife has arrived in Japan earlier to accompany the repatriation process.
“Only the late man's wife arrived yesterday afternoon in Tokyo,” said Wendi.
Although the situation in Japan does not yet allow the entire group to return, some of the production team will return to Indonesia first. Some band crew members and musical equipment will be dispatched today.
“Today, the first to return to the homeland will be 3 crew members and the band equipment. All band members will stay in Tokyo to accompany the late's wife,” said Wendi.
