The following announcement was posted on the band’s OHP:

At this time, we have decided that on December 13th, our guitarist shinichi and drummer Kiri will be leaving the band.
Although our decision may be difficult to understand, we have had a difference in opinion over the image of our ideal band as well as the future of our activities, and we therefore feel that working with the current line-up places a great deal of pressure on the band.

Furthermore, we also want to announce both our plans of resuming our activities and our next piece of work.

We offer our sincere apologies for the trouble that we have caused with this sudden announcement to our fans and to all those concerned with the band.

Details regarding our oneman live on December 13th, 「光」 (Hikari):
Details on dvance ticket sales and so forth will be announced at a later date.

We hope that you will continue to support cocklobin.

The members of cocklobin

The band’s last oneman live with the current line-up will take place on December 13th at Shinjuku MARZ. Tickets cost 3000 yen a piece or 3500 yen at the door. Advance ticket sales will be available from October 3rd until the 9th, and regular ticket sales begin on October 24th.

To all of our fans, and everyone who is connected to the band,

On May 16th after our our oneman live, 「再生」 (Saisei), we have decided to go on a temporary activity pause.

The reason for our activity pause is that although up until today we’ve been active for about a year and a half repeatedly doing lives and producing various works, we want to improve our music and in order for that to happen, were are making it public that cocklobin will be pausing from activites (lives and so forth).

The members all took many things into consideration, however after many meetings we decided that we couldn’t create new music with the way things are now. We hope that you can understand that we feel it is necessary for us to give undevided attention to making music, and therefore decided to take a break from live activities.

Furthermore, we have not yet decided when exactly we will be resuming our acitivites, however, when we have finished taking our time to create our new works, we will update with news of a new release and so forth.

Due to the member’s desire to perform, we will be performing at the live that we have planned for August 9th.

Until we restart our activities, we feel that there may be some fans who are worried about the break, however, it’s necessary for us so that we can create wonderful pieces, and return in front of you all. We hope that you will continue to support us.

cocklobin Members and Staff

The band’s last live before the pause will take place on the 9th of August at Nagoya BOTTOM LINE and will be entitled 『拝啓x様～麝香連理想～』(Haikei Yuu-sama～Jakou Renri Sou～) . Actually it’s the live when 雀羅 (Jakura) will be having their one-day revival and also when Seika’s new band will hold its first live.

Other performing bands are 凛 (Rin),-S-, Dolly, 砂月 (Satsuki), cocklobin, sho-ka, LADY, Schwein, 侍待 (Samuraimachi) and ジ・ハード (Ji・had).

Two days ago, a close relative of ouer bassist, HISAKI, was in an unfortunate accident.
Therefore, HISAKI will be unable to perform with us on October 24th at Sendai HOOK.
On that day, we will perform with just four members.

We deeply apologize to our fans, those organizing the event and the livehouse staff for the trouble.

The remaining members, along with our staff, will continue to put our all into the rest of our tour, and will aim for the best performance. On the 26th in Osaka, HISAKI will make his return, so as he will be trying his best, please give him a bit of extra support and your understanding.
