●Bergracより大切なお知らせ
いつもBergeracを応援して頂きまして誠にありがとうございます。
突然ではありますが、皆様にお伝えしなければならない事があります。
この度 Bergeracは、2009年9月12日目黒鹿鳴館でのワンマンライブを持ちまして解散致します。
「Bergerac」というバンドの有り方を深く協議した結果、解散という結論に辿り着きました。
それから先はそれぞれの場所へ、別々の道を歩んで行きます。
今まで温かく支えて応援して下さったファンの皆様、関係者の皆様、本当にありがとうございました。
残り少ない期間ではございますが、最後の目黒鹿鳴館公演まで、全力で臨んでゆきたいと思います。
最後まで変わらぬ応援を宜しくお願いいたします。
Bergerac メンバー一同
正直「解散する」って実感が、まだ無いんだ。
全てが終わった後に、今とは違う気持ちが生まれるのかな。
解散は、メンバー全員がより良い未来へ進むために出した結論です。
突然の発表で本当にごめんな。
何度も、何度も考えて出した答えだから、理解してくれると嬉しいです。
今まで応援してくれたみんな、スタッフの皆様、関係者様、今まで携わって頂いた全ての方々へ、
本当に有難うございました。
樹という人間の、5年間の集大成を
Bergeracというバンドを、最後まで見届けて下さい。
Vo:樹
9/12目黒鹿鳴館で解散することになりました。
応援してくれてる皆ごめんな。
でも皆やスタッフや関係者に支えられてきたBergeracは最後まで
駆け抜けていくからよろしくな。
正直解散は本当に悔しいし辛いけど俺達が考えに考えてだした答えだからさ。
直ぐには受けとめられないと思うけど残り2ヶ月間笑顔で終われたらいいな。
実際俺もまだあまり実感無いけれど、これからの6本のライブを大切にしていきたいと思っています。
最後までPEACE！
Gu:莎月
Bergeracは発表した通り、2ヶ月後のワンマン公演をもって解散します。
各地でのお客さんの笑顔、ライヴすべてが自分の人生で忘れられない思い出です。
今まで一度でもライヴに来てくれた人、ライヴに来れなくても応援してくれていた人、本当にありがとうございました。
Bergeracに加入して約1年、壁にぶつかったりもしましたが、本当に切磋琢磨できる環境に自分を置いてくれて、
見守ってくれたファンの皆さんやメンバー、関係者の方々にも本当に感謝しています。
そして「終わり」という答えを出してしまってごめんなさい。
終わりは決まっていますが、残り6本のライヴを1本1本向上しながら必ず良い最後を見せますので、残りの2ヶ月間、Bergeracを宜しくお願いいたします。
Gu:鳴海
Bergeracは解散することになったけどきっと前向きな解散なんだ。
メンバーそれぞれ進んでいく先は違うかもしれないけど、それは間違いなくプラスの方向になるから。
みんなも立ち止まらないで前を向いてその先に進んでいこう。
今まで色んな人に支えられて、色んなことがあって、Bergeracで
やってきたこの3年間は僕を成長させてくれた。
本当にありがとう。
Ba:たつは
Bergeracは俺の人生って言っていいぐらい熱い時間だった。
正直加入してから辞めたいって思うこともあった。
楽しいことよりも辛いことの方が多かったかもしれない。
でも、俺をこうして迎い入れてくれたメンバーのためにも絶対やってやるって決めたんだ。
途中で逃げたりなんてしたら一生後悔する、それにそんなの漢じゃねえって、そう思って走り続けてきたんだ。
あれから2年。早いもんだよ。
もうすぐこのバンドも終わりを迎えようとしている。
最後は皆が笑って終われるようにしたいな。
あとちょっとしかないけど、次に向かっていけるようなラストにしような。
今までありがとう。
最後まで俺らについてきてくれるって信じてるから、だから泣かないで笑顔でいてくれな。
Dr:イル

The message isn’t really that special; it’s your typical disbanding announcement where each member thanks the fans for the support. They basically say the reason for their disbanding is because they feel that it’s the best decision for their future and how they will progress.
I was reading some blogs apparently Tatsuha is a host? did anyone else hear that? at some club called Machiavelli-Spirito?
…so I find these guys not a week ago…and I find out they’re disbanding?…:D <—-sarcastic glad face
