Celestial Garden will be disbanding on February 6th.

Not a lot of information is available yet, however, Kuina wrote the following in his blog:

Thank you for your hard work [at the live] (*´`*)

Those who didn’t come yesterday,
probably don’t know yet, but

On February 6th,
Celestial Garden will be disbanding.

There’s only a little bit of time left,
but we’ll continue to do our best,
so please cheer us on (●´ω`●)

There’s a lot of stuff I have to do right now,
so I’ll write again, about all sorts of things.

A translation of Takumi’s comment

a-translation-of-takumis-comment

As we posted about here, Celestial Garden has announced that their bassist Takumi will be leaving the band. Takumi posted the following comment regarding his decision on the Planet CHILD Music OHP:

Although this is an unexpected announcement, I, Takumi, will be leaving Celestial Garden after our live on November 18th.

I think that for some time, we’ve been faced with varying degrees of commitment between the members when it comes to live activities, our visual style, and the band activities as a whole. We’ve been faced with many troubles, and day after day I’ve been strongly questioning whether being in the band is beneficial to Celestial Garden, or myself.

Nevertheless, I thought that I would continue, but being a high school student, it’s too much trouble, and as it is I feel that I am causing a hindrance to the band, so I have come to the conclusion to leave.

I have sprinted with all my might for this past year, without a second’s thought. It’s not easy to balance studies and being in a band, and I still like being part of a band, and of course I still like visual kei like nothing else. Right now both my mental and physical strength is worn out, so I will rest for a bit, and I want to try re-examining how I look at my music and my studies.

While I was deciding whether or not to leave, it was honestly difficult when I was told by the fans things like, “I’ll continue to support you!” and “You were really cool!”.

Part of me wants to be comforted by saying “I’ll leave the band soon, and I’ll fade out”, but I hate myself for turning my back on the fans who are cheering me on.

I only have a few lives left with Celestial Garden, but some day I will definitely return to the visual scene. I’m not sure if it’ll be tomorrow, or if it’ll be in one month, or even one year, but I promise that I will without fail return.

To all the fans that have been supporting me, to MAR, the staff, all my label-mates, those connected to the band, and to the members, I truly thank you.

From hereon, please continue to support Celestial Garden.

Celestial Garden down one

Celestial Garden will be losing their bassist Takumi after their sponsored event on November 18th at Nishikujou BRAND NEW (Osaka).

In his blog, Takumi explains that this is a positive decision, in order for both the band and him to continue their own way. He also says that he would like to keep being a band man and play in session bands, or as a support member in the near future.

Let’s hope the best for him and the band.
