Vampire disbands

vampire-disbands

Thanks to Jess for sending this in.

ヴァンパイア (Vampire) have anounced that after their live on June 28th, they will be disbanding.

The following announcement was placed on all of the member’s blogs:

Up until now, we’ve only been active for about a year and a half, however, as there is a change in what each of the members wish to express, we have come to realize that continuining on as Vampire is too difficult.

Our decision, is not beacuse the members are no longer friends, but it’s a positive disbandment as we feel it’s a chance for each of us to take a fresh step forward.

To everyone who has been cheering us on, to those who have been working with us and everyone connected to the band, we are grateful to you all from the bottom of our hearts.

We only have three lives left as Vampire, but just as we always have, we’ll do our best to perform with all of our might, and with the little time left, we’ll make the best of it with our fans.

Our last live will be on June 28th at Meguro Rock Maykan.

We hope that we can make our last live the best, and share it with all the fans who have been supporting us thus far.

The band’s final live is, once again, at Meguro Rock Maykan and is titled 「血末」-You are the most important people for us-. It costs 2500 yen to attend or 3000 yen at the door. All those who attend will receive a free DVD containing two tracks plus offshot footage. They will also be selling member signed Polaroids and a memorial clip collection.

Vampire loses Jin

Thanks to Tay for the heads up on this one!

Vampire have announced that as of June 30th, their bassist, Aoyama Jin, has left the band. They apologize for not having the chance to have a final live with him, but do say that they will continue on with activities as planned.

Jin says that he has decided to leave the band for personal reasons. He mentions that from the start, he felt that a situation like this would arise, and although he considered leaving before, the member’s enthusiasm and support kept him going in the band until now. However, now he feels that he’s reached a breaking point where he can no longer continue in the band, and he apologizes to the fans and members for the timing of the events.

He is grateful to have been able to be in the band with these wonderful bandmates, and thanks everyone who has been supporting him thus far. He hopes that fans will continue to support Vampire, and welcome a new member into their ranks.
