Apr, 2010
9GOATS BLACK OUT have announced that after their performance on May 7th at Shibuya Quattro they will be going on an activity pause.
The band has not decided when they will be making a return to the scene or in what formation, but will update their OHP as the occasion arises.
The following announcement was posted on the band’s OHP:
To everyone who supports us,
Thanks to you, we were able to safetly reach the end of our coupling tour, 「deep sleepers」. Thanks to everyone it was very productive and a well-completed tour. Thank you. With the central theme of “Heaven to Hell”, we plan to complete our tour with our oneman live, “the Orphee”, at Quattro on May 7th using the world that was depicted in our album, “TANATOS” which was released on March 24th.
After that, 9 GOATS BLACK OUT will be undergoing preparations for our next phase, and therefore for a short time, we will put a stop to our events and live activities, will obstain from putting out new releases and will become dormant. We have not yet decided when we will be restarting our activities. During our pause, our official site (9goats.net), online webdesk (webdesk@9goats.net) and offical shop (9GOATS BLACK MART) will reman open. Furthermore, we will be updating our OHP, mail magazine, zoisite-information and so forth with information about the member’s personal activities during our activity pause.
After our live, “the Orphe” at Quattro on May 7th, both the members and support members will be discussing the future of the band. As a result, it is currently possible that there will be a change in formation when we restart activities. In that case, our oneman live on May 7th at Shibuya Quattro, may very well be the last live with the current line-up, and we therefore wanted to share this news with everyone who has been supporting us in advance.
We received more support than we ever expcted for 9GOATS BLACK OUT, and we’ve been developing our activities as a speed we had never experienced before.
It’s been something that has been a great honour for us. Therefore, we have decided that we will briefly stop our progress so that we can pursue our stance on the activities we want to pursue, alter the direction that our work is taking, and above all, so that we can show our growth to everyone that has been supporting us.
When we further develop the concept that the band carries of “can we strongly strike the heart of however many people with the the work and the music that that sound and voice bring?” we will be able to announce the revival of our activities.
The world of “TANATOS” which is sewen like a net is in everybody’s grasp, and opening part of it, the world will come alive, and deeply touch our hearts.
With that kind of performance, we can close the passage of “Heaven to Hell”.
Please be sure not to miss our return.9GOATS BLACK OUT / dalli

What a shame; most bands that go on activity pause these days don’t really come back. The fact that they’ll keep updating things with information on what’s happening with each member during the hiatus means people will have a good idea what’s going on, rather than the band just disappearing.
I do hope they return; many people loved them.
Summarizing, this news practically messed up my day.
I could just say the same as Blade.
My only hope is that they really WILL return since they already took their time with this album but nevertheless released it… I hope that they will use this pause to improve even further (if that is possible at all ^^; ).
Oh well, I’m having a very important exam tomorrow and all I will be able to think about is 9GOATS ._.
COME ON!!!
this just not funny anymore D:
I’m a little relieved that they kinda promise their return
but the possible member change worries the hell out of me!
9goats would be weird without Ryo, Hati or Uta
and the word “Dormant” makes me feel like the pause won’t be a short one…
goddamn this ruined my evening
I don’t think this activity pause is a bad thing at all. I feel that, from the message the band released, they really are looking to improve themselves both as musicians and as a band. I think they will come back and be even better than now! I support decision, and anticipate their return.
I agree with Kay.
VK bands are often on a non-stop schedule,
if you are to let a creative force like this band take its time
to create something I am sure the results will be much better
then rushed works. I too support this decision.
I agree with Kay also.
I’ve followed them since they started, they were and still are one of my favorite bands..ever. I would be unbelievably sad if they didn’t come back, but.. at least it sounds like they’re planning on do so.
Thois news broke my day.
I hope that you’re right Kay…
WHAT? darn it, this really blowssss T^T
I was starting to really get into them~~ >___>;;; I just hope they return!!
I was actually thinking about this awhile ago. How do they survive out there?
There music is so far from the Pop Realm it’s sometimes hard to comprehend.
Like even their riffs and melodies are sometimes hard to listen to…
I’m not saying the music is bad, it’s some of the best jrock/indie I’ve ever heard;
but for the average listener it’s hard to understand their sound I imagine.
To be honest sounds like a disbandment.
If Uta, or Ryo leave I probably won’t listen to this band anymore[thats if they do come back].
I hope the result is good. It better not end in disbandment or worse music.
;;_______;; udfhgdg they’d better come back I swear after clearveil I can’t take any more bands finishing or shit happening to members, But if Ryo leaves I probably won’t listen ;;o;;
They gained a lot of popularity, didn’t they?
I’m a huge fan, and ths is really bad news for me, but it sounds just as optimistic as it does bad.
They know they’ve done well for a young band, and I believe that even if a member leaves, their sound won’t change. I’ll be faithfully waiting for their return.
my day sucked, i came home and read this, and got even sadder
but sometimes these pauses are needed D; and as long as they come back ready to keep playing it’s all good :] i’mma keep supporting them x3
