comments-from-hurts-members

The other day Mija posted about hurts disbanding. One of our readers asked if we could translate the comments that were posted on the UNDER CODE OHP from the hurts members, and I luckily have gotten a chance to finish them.

Sorry for the delay, but here we go.

 Hina

To all the fans who until now, have been cheering us on and to all the people who are involved with the band, honestly, thank you. I was saved because of hurts and I can’t even count how many valuable memores I was able to create.
It’s disappointing that the result is us breaking up.
However, as far as the four of us members are concerned it was necessary and we are taking it facing forward.

The oneman called “DEMONIC PARADE FINAL ~ The Devil’s Written Invitation ~”  at HOLIDAY SHINJUKU on March 20th, as far as hurts goes, will be our last live.

Please see us through until the very end.

Mukku

Breaking up?

I don’t really know how I feel about it.
I wasn’t worried about the decision to disband, so it feels like I really couldn’t care less.
But maybe, the moment the oneman has ended, it’ll be heart-breaking.
I can’t stand it when it feels like you’re in a scenerio where you’re walking along this restrictive rail.
Everyone should awlways live in such a way that they never forget the state of mind of a child.
Don’t turn into some shitty adult.

Everyone who, even if it killed you, still came to our lives, thank you.
Even though there aren’t many, thank you to the people who were affected by hurts.

Maki

We announced that it would be the “last live with the current members” and we had planned to prepare for our activity pause and up until today we had been doing so, however, we decided that on March 20th at our oneman at SHINJUKU HOLIDAY, hurts will be disbanding.

This kind of information is really tough on everyone who has up until now been cheering us on,  but becuase the members of hurts, Hina, Mukku, Kaede and myself, formed the band from and were doing activities from one mind, we have come to the conclusion that if a member leaves, or even if we add another member, we are no longer ‘hurts’.

The band hurts will pass away, however I feel that the members will each continue to live in their own worlds, so with watchful eyes, burn hurts’ last live on March 20th at HOLIDAY SHINJUKU into your member, and after this please support us each of us in our own activities.

Kaede

This is the drummer for hurts, Kaede.
I think that our fans were surprised at the way things turned out this time.
The members talked about it a lot, and breaking up was the route that we decided to take.
From now on the members will each continue to fight with all their might, so please continue to support us.
Honestly, thank you to all the fans who have been supporting us up until now.
