・12012 – Winter, again || GLAY

The following message was posted in the member’s blogs:
An Important Announcement
Thank you for your continuous support of AND.

AND (Ikuma, Kiri, PEC, Ken, Suzune), All Staff Members
In Suzune’s blog, he also posted the following comment regarding his decision:
I’m sorry for the unexpected announcement.
After our live on August 8th, I will be leaving the band.
Arriving at this decision, was the answer that I came to after seriously thinking about myself as a musician.
At first I was hesitant about it, but thinking about my future, I don’t want to lie to the members, everyone connected with the band, all of you who have been cheering me on, and above all to myself.
I started tihnking, Isn’t it wrong to continue on being in and if this is how I feel?
Throughout the tour, it was like I was looking for something, and as we went through our performances, I thought that if I talked to everyone, I’d definitely be able to find an answer.
So I did our tour with that in mind.
Honestly speaking, the feelings that I want to feel, I’m not having on this stage.
That’s how I felt.
I guess if you want to put it simple, you can say it’s “musical differences”.
But I want to make sure you know that everything I’ve done with AND, the music that we’ve created in AND… it hasn’t been a lie.
I want you to know that.
I’m really sorry to everyone who has been supporting AND.
I don’t want to make you sad.
I wouldn’t be able to stand it if I lie to all of you who have saved me time and time again.There’s two months left.
I’m going to put all of my energy into what I can do.
I also feel like now, I’m searching for myself, and there I’ll find my answer.
So, please watch over my warmly.Even though we’ll be taking different paths… even though the next time we meet will be on a different stage, I don’t feel like I have any regrets from these past three years of activity [with AND].
Thank you for everything.
The announcement was late to be posted in my blog,
but I really didn’t know what to say.Sorry, everyone.

AND’s new release
5
Jan, 2010
アンド (AND) will be releasing a new single on March 10th!
The single is not yet titled, but it will be coming out in two types, both of which come with a CD and DVD, and cost 1890 yen.
The A Type comes with a DVD that has a PV, and the B Type DVD contains live footage and a bonus track.
The band has also set up a few interesting events to go along with the release! They are holding a series of events each produced by a different member. At the event, the member will have planned a special project. There will also be time to talk to the members, and to take photos. Only a limited number of people can attend.
March 13th – PECO Produced @ Brand-x
March 27th – 鈴音 (Suzune) Produced @ Jishuban Club
April 3rd – けん (Ken) Produced @ ZEAL LINK
April 10th – キリ (Kiri) Produced @ I.D.PILOT
I’m assuming that the event on April 7th @ Nagoya HMV Sakae will be produced by 郁磨 (Ikuma), but I can’t find anything on AND’s OHP, or the HMV OHP to say that that’s what’s happening.
Along with the new release and events, the band has announced that they will have a secret live on March 28th, will be releasing a new single in May, and be having their first oneman tour later this year.
