O-PARTS will be completing activity on September 5th, making the live at Kichijouji CLUB SEATA their last.

As far as a reason goes, sho-ka has plans to devote himself mainly to his solo work.

Both members mutually agreed to carry on on their separate paths, and rather than disbanding or pausing activities, they’ve decided to say that they have “Completed” Activity. And they hope that from here all of the fans will continue to support them as they continue on their different paths.

Here are the individual messages from the members:

Sorry for always being selfish.

But thank you all for coming to see us.

So on that note, remember us lovingly.

Thanks for everything.

sho-ka

Thank you for always supporting us.

It was only for a short time, but we are very grateful to everyone.

Thank you so much for pouring all of your love into O-PARTS.

Please forgive us for making such a sudden announcement.

We’ve canceled all plans to have lives after September 5th.

It’s because of sho-ka’s wish of perusing his solo career and because I can personally understand his wish.

Although the live on the 5th will be our last, we’ll do it the way we always do with all of our might.

sho-ka who didn’t have any work for a while offered me a chance to take the stage again as O-PARTS, and during the time we worked together I discovered a lot of different things.

So
I respected this new sho-ka’s feelings to want to try hard from the beginning.

Even though the completion of activities as O-PARTS is unfortunate,

The both of us want to continue new musical lives. Your understanding makes me happy.

It was posted that Keith has disbanded. Their last live was held on August 20th at Ikebukuro RUIDO K3. Yukia posted about the disbandment in his blog.

To all fans who came to our lives, even to those who couldn’t come but still supported us, and to all the staff… thank you very much.

It’s been a very brief period, but I’m really glad everyone enjoyed being with Keith.

How were our lives?? Were we able to relay Keith’s music properly??

There are many things I want to say and things I can’t say in this entry, but I can’t put them together.
Frankly, I still don’t feel as if this is already over.

I was the last to join Keith… We’re a band that always keeps laughing, to the point that we get scolded for it (laugh). We have fun, act stupid, laugh… talk serious, fight, make good things together.

If I think about it, it’s been nine to ten months since Fuji Rock. To have been in such a fun band was a first… We members are really happy.
I didn’t give it my all as a leader, but the guys always supported me… During lives the fans up front would always give me strength. Those were truly the best times.

As a bassist, I wonder if my voice reached everybody? If I did, we Keith members are happy. We really, really love you guys.

I feel truly sorry that it has come down to this.

I’m really very sorry.
As we’ve said in our live, us members will be going on our separate ways from here on.

Someone will quit from music, someone will continue, and even someone will go behind the scenes.

Our ways of living will be different, but as Keith members we won’t change because everyone supported us. If everyone keeps Keith alive in their hearts, we would be truly happy.

That’s also my last request to you all.

It’s been short-lived, but thank you very much.

Keith Yukia

Yusura:
We announced it at yesterday’s live, but
GRiST’s live on October 22nd at Nishikujou Brand New will be our last
as GRiST has decided to disband.
This is a result of numerous discussions between the members.
In September, GRiST will be celebrating three years of activities.
We’ve been doing our best up until now, and we owe all of the fans for their warm support.
We only have about two months left,
but I want us to all continue laughing until the very end,
all of us together; the members and the fans.
Please support us until the very end.
-GRiST / Yusura

Mitsuki:
It’s been a while since I’ve updated, and I’m sorry
m(_ _)m

I don’t really know what I should write, and I’m still thinking about it…. but
First off, GRiST will be disbanding in October. We worried about it and thought about it time and time again, and finally this was the decision we arrived at. I’m truly sorry to all of the fans that have been supporting us.
I hope that somehow or another, you can watch over us until the very end.

I want to keep on going for these last two months and enjoy them without having any regrets, so I hope that you will support us.

LiZ have announced that they will be disbanding after their performance on September 28th.

Kai posted the following entry about the disbanding on his blog:

Flyers about September 28th have been circulating at CD shops and livehouses.

My feelings about it all are still complicated,
I don’t really know what I should say to everyone,
because I feel like with our decision, we’ve betrayed
those of you who kept waiting expectantly for us…

For now, what I can say is that
for our live on September 28th, I’m going to put all of my power into making it the best live possible,
even though I’m not sure if you can truly enjoy it

For our end
For LiZ’s last live
I’ll be happy if I can hear all of your voices.

The band’s final event will be called 「THE LAST IMPULSE」and will be held at Ikebukuro Black Hole. Other bands performing that night include FEECH, NEXX, Replica and SPUN. Tickets cost 2500 yen a piece.

ネオン (Neon) will be disbanding after their sponsored 3-man on September 15th. Here is an official announcement, which was posted on each member’s blog:

We have an announcement for all of the fans who have been supporting Neon.

We have decided that after the Neon sponsored three man live on September 15th, we will be disbanding.

This is the most positive answer we arrived at after much discussion between the members.

It’s only been a short eight months since we started our activities, and although they’re coming to an end, we are truly grateful for Neon the band and the fans who have encountered our music.

We only have a short time remaining, but so that we can finish with no regrets, we want to show you all of our gratitude.

We are sincerely sorry to all of our fans for having to make this type of announcement.

We hope that you will support us until the end.

The members of Neon

The sponsored 3-man live will take place, as mentioned above, on September 15th at Ikebukuro BlackHole. It will be entitled 「ten to sen to en」. Other two bands participating at the event 楽團孤独 (Gakudan Hitori) and 閃光一座 (Senkou Ichiza).

It has come to our attention that as of today, Ayabie will be disbanding after six years of activity.

Regarding Ayabie,

For the group to progress in harmony with one another, the band members have decided to go on their separate ways.

Among the members Yumehito, Takehito, Intetsu, and Kenzo, the four have decided to continue on as a new band, and from August onwards, all such details regarding activities and the new fan club will be posted on this official homepage.

Above was a translation of the message posted on d-n-l.jp, the official website of Yumehito, Takehito, Intetsu, and Kenzo’s new group.

The following are separate translations taken from the members’ blogs:

Yumehito:

Dearest everyone, this is it.

I completely understand how everyone feels.

So much it hurts.

I’m really sorry.

Why things couldn’t work out, and why they ended this way.

It was tough and stressful. Many things have happened.

Everything seemed unreasonable.

I’ve made all of you worry.

I’m really very sorry.

But I don’t want to continue music fooling myself.

The person writing these words right now is the real me.

I’m delivering the truth to everyone from here on.

I have good faith.

As I face everyone,

Let’s stay closer.

I believe that this is the right choice.

Let’s spend our days together even as this summer ends.

Takehito:

To all fans,

Thank you for always supporting Ayabie.

I really apologize for this sudden announcement.

It’s been roughly a year since Ayabie’s major debut.

Ayabie’s activities have begun to slow as changes in the circumstances around us have grown.

And with these circumstances, I believe the feelings of understanding among us five members have begun to diminish as well.

More than anything, I just wanted Ayabie to continue making music that was us.

Even if the circumstances around us couldn’t change quickly enough, I believed that as long as the feelings of the five of us started coming together again, we could do anything.

In the end, at the very last moment, I tried to find even the smallest possibility of that happening, but I’ve realized that I couldn’t find anything any more.

I’m really sorry.

From here on, I’ll start again with Yumehito, Intetsu, and Kenzo.

I hope that all of you will come to understand this someday.

Intetsu:

To everyone who has supported Ayabie,

This is Intetsu.
I apologize for surprising you with this announcement.

To have formed and continued this band with Takehito, Yumehito, Kenzo,
And with Aoi whom I have worked with for a long time,
I am very disappointed that we have come to continue on our separate ways.
I cannot express this disappointment enough.

It’s been six years since we began our activities at Takadanobaba Area in 2004.
We’ve had many encounters.
Kenzo joined us.
Then Yumehito joined us as well.
We held lives all over the country, and all over the world,
And last year, to have finally made our major debut,
We finally became a band that many people wanted to listen to.

If I were to sum up my life in words, I would say I was “Ayabie’s Intetsu”.
A band that gave its everything.
We have agonized long before before coming to this decision.
As all our fans know,
I love Ayabie’s music,
And I love a live where everyone in Ayabie is there.

As everyone knows,
Ayabie has become unable to continue with lives or making music.

To have arrived at this decision,
It was because it was against the members’ true wishes to continue on with the group as it is now.

We live to create music.
That is the sole reason for our decision.

Because we have arrived at this just a few days ago, we are yet to have further details regarding this announcement, and as for the four of us as well.

I love what we have come to achieve as Ayabie.
And I will continue to treasure that from here on.
I’m sure Aoi will continue on as well,
And as the four of us begin again,
I would be happy if you would be able to watch over us.

We had planned on holding a final live,
But discussions weren’t able to push through.
I’m really sorry.

We are sorry for being such selfish members.

From everyone at Ayabie,
We thank you for everything.

Kenzo:

I’m sorry for this sudden announcement.

We never meant to make everyone sad. Please forgive us that it has come to end this way.

The four of us will walk down the same road from here on.

Many things have happened, but we believe this is for the best, and I would be happy as long as everyone supported our decision.

We are sad to hear of this great band’s disbandment, but we give our best wishes to all the members as they continue on their separate ways.

Thank you for your continuous support of Reira.

Even though we’ve only been doing activities for about a year and a half as we started in April of 2009, we are now announcing that we have decided to disband after our scheduled oneman live on August 23rd 2010 at SHIBUYA O-WEST.

We only have a little time left, however, we will be all of our energy into these reamining lives, so we hope that you will supprt us until the very end.

Each of the members have also posted a comment regarding the decision, but they mostly just thank the fans and apologize. Sora says that there were many times they discussed going on an activity pause and many times he thought of leaving, as there has been a gap developing between the member’s ways of thinking.

Thanks to everyone who has sent this in.

GallowS have announced that on July 27th, they will be disbanding.

The sentiments between the members were pretty much the same, so the following is a translation of Kaede’s blog:

We, the girl’s band GallowS will be disbanding on July 27th after our live at Meguro Rock Maykan.

We are truly grateful to all of the fans that have been cheering us on until now, and to everyone connected to the band for their support.

Thank you.

Even if I think about it now, I don’t know if we were together for a short time or a

long time, but I truly feel glad to have been part of GallowS.

I feel that I’ve been blessed to work with these truly good members, the staff and the fans.

We’ve climbed over many wells together, but now, we’ve decided to take different paths.

This decision is not a result of coming to a wall that we couldn’t get past, but it’s something that takes us to the other side of the wall.

Even if you say, “the other side of the wall”, it’s been decided and it’s not something where we just want something that has another flavor to it, so don’t get me wrong.

There are members who will continue in music from here on, so they will definitely be performing in front of you again, so at that time, please warmly cheer them on.

Please support them.

Information about the member’s future activities after the disbandment will be available on our blogs and the OHP, so please check it out.

With all that’s been said, let’s all – the members, staff and fans, finish off with a smile.

Let’s bless our next departure by already laughing.

Please show me your smile.

REECH, who has been an ongoing session band, have announced that on July 23rd they will be putting an end to their activities.

The following announcement was posted in the member’s blogs:

Important Announcement

At this time, we want to thank everyone for their ongoing support of the continuous session band, REECH.

Without forgetting our feelings of gratitude, the members have been doing activities day after day.

However, we have decided that on July 23rd, activities of the continuous session band, REECH, will come to an end.

As far as our reasons go, we’ve been constantly going since our first live, and along with members leaving, we feel that welcoming new members into the band along with keeping up our activities isn’t something that’s simple to do, making doing the session band difficult.

It’s thanks to all of you, and your heartfelt support that REECH was able to do our live activities, however, the members all agree that for now it’s time that we head back to underground activities.

We’re unsure of what our goals are for the future, but we feel that a day will come when we want to show you the growth that we’ve made.

For REECH, our time to walk together with the members and fans has come to an end.

All of the mebmers of the continuous session band, REECH

The band’s final performance is at Shibuya RUIDO K2 at their sponsored event called 【HUMAN CHANGE’s666～暴君改革】 (～Boukun Kaikaku). Tickets cost 2500 yen, and six bands will be playing. More details will be announced at a later date.
