Oct, 2012
The following announcement was posted on SuG’s OHP:
After our performance on December 29th at Yoyogi Kyougijou Daini Taikukan, SuG Oneman Show 2012 “This iz 0″, we will be going on hiatus.
As a result of numerous discussions between both the members and staff, we have decided that in order for SuG to continue activities, and in best interest of the members, PS COMPANY, and the future of SUG, that we should restart under new conditions. Therefore, an activity pause is necessary, as well as SuG’s separation from PS COMPANY.
We believe that this is the best outcome for the future of SuG.
Until we start activites again, the members will each focus ont heir own work, but will improve and return.
From our start on January 12th, 2007, up until now, we were able to continue as SuG for six years because of the support from PS COMPANY, all of our fans, and those connected to the band.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us.
SuG (Takeru . masato . yuji . Chiyu . shinpei)
And PS COMPANY also updated with the announcement below.
“SuG”, which belongs to PS COMPANY, will be going on hiatus, and their performance on December 29th at Kokuritsu Yoyogi Kyougijou Daini Taikukan, “SuG Oneman Show 2012 Thiz is 0″, will be their final show under the PS COMPANY management.
This was a result of numerous discussions and as SuG wishes to spread their viewpoint, and go back to their origin, from a company standpoint we will respect their decision, and will continue to support their new path with all of our heart.
To all the fans and those connected to the band, thank you for your warm support and words of encouragement.
The members of SuG are truly grateful.
Our SuG TOUR 2012, “sweeToxic”, will continue as planned, with all of our hearts put into each performance.
Information regarding future activities will be announced at a later date.
There’s only a short amount of time left before our hiatus, so we hope that you will continue to support SuG until the end.
After finishing their 「sweeToxic」 tour, which starts on Wednesday, the band will hold one last oneman live titled 「This iz 0」 at Yoyogi Stadium on December 29th. Tickets for the live cost 5,250 yen and go on sale on November 18th.
In his comment, vocalist Takeru assured that the band will be back. He also mentioned that their break with PSC is due to different opinions. We will post translations of all members’ posts soon, so stay tuned!

What the f*ck of the year O_O”"”
They’re smart!
Hiatus= bad
. But leaving PSC…great! Hurray! 
I hope that more bands will leave PSC…*evil grin*
I don’t listen to SuG much anymore,but I think it’s really really really great that they’re leaving PSC.
That’s a surprise but if they come back… I’ll definitely wait for their return.
I didn’t realize there were so many negative feelings toward PSC. Can anyone explain to me why?
If you look through the “Weekly Discussion Questions” for Round 20, Ernie asked how people felt about PSC and their bands! The link is right here: (http://shattered-tranquility.net/index.php/06/16/weekly-discussion-question-round-20/) and feel free to post your own opinions too
As you probably know, PSC is a major record label company and generally major label companies are in control of the band’s activities, the direction that the bands go in and such! I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more that plays into why people don’t like PSC (like personal preferences or elitism) but generally people don’t like PSC because there’s a belief that PSC is very strict with their bands, change bands for the worse, and treat their bands like products rather than humans.
