Thanks to everyone who gave us a heads up on this!

VANESSA have announced that they will be disbanding on May 14th and instead of releasing a new single in April and mini-album in August, they will be releasing a new mini-album in April.

VANESSA have posted the following announcement on their OHP:

An Important Announcement from VANESSA
Although this is unexpected, at this time, due to family circumstances, our guitarist Toki is finding it difficult to continue on with band activities.
With that in mind, the members discussed the future of the band’s activities numerous times, and as a result we have decided to disband.
Furthermore, the new single that we had announced that we would release in April as well as the mini-album we were planning to release in August, will now be released as a mini-album n April.
The oneman live we had planned on August 29th at Takadanobaba AREA has been changed to May 14th at Ikebukuro Blackhole.
To all of the fans who have been support us, we aret truly sorry for this unexpected announcement.

Their last oneman live is called 『最終絶叫単独公演-TRUE END-』 (Saishuu Zekkyou Tandoku Kouen – TRUE END-) and it costs 2800 yen to attend.

The member’s have also all posted comments on the OHP regarding their decision.

Vocals – Genki

Even now, that scene that I had seen that day is here, unchanged

But, I have a feeling that someone looking at me said, “it’s not an unchanging world, you know?”
Now, is it creation being born… or is it destruction…
Or is it that from destruction, creation was born…
Or…
I wonder if it’s from creation being destroyed…[that something will be born]

The hook inside me stays without stirring.

I’ll keep going after this, and I’ll keep composing.

Until the day that I completely stop.

From me to my beloved fans,

What can you see?

I’m here.

So shall we get going?

「TRUE END…」

Guitar – Toki

I can’t really word this properly, but life as I see it, it something you have to go through.
Up until now, I’ve done everything I’ve tried from the beginning until the end. (It’s something I’m proud of (laughs)).
But, that’s something that’s turned out to be not true.

Simply stated, it’s only music, but guitar was something that I could keep doing.
Rather, it’s kind of a miracle that I am able to keep doing it.

This is not a temporary plan.
Basically, it’s my fault that VANESSA has been driven to disband.
However, after talking a lot with the other members, they told me that they’d hate it if I wasn’t there, so deciding to disband, actually makes me alittle bit happy.

I’m sure that the other members will start up a new band.
I’ve been thinking that someday, I too want to make a return to music, no matter what shape it takes, but honestly I’m not sure when that day will be.

Everything that’s happened this far has really flew by.
I’m so glad that I got to know the other members.
I’m glad that I was able to be in a band with these members.
Being an idiot, once in a while I’d have some problems, but even then I felt that they wanted to be in a band together, so I feel blessed that I was able to meet people like that.

I’m also blessed to have been able to meet all of you who support me.

Somehow, let’s enough it until the very end.

I want to make every moment, every single second, important.

Even if it’s only untl May 14th, I hope we can be together.

Guitar – Haruki

Although it’s a sudden announcement, this is the way things have turned out.
Honestly, I haven’t really accepted it as reality yet.

I only want to share the remaining time we have left as these members being able to stand on stage [together] with everyone.

There are a lot of things I want to say, but they [right now] they don’t really make any sense.

I want to convey it all to you at our lives.

Until the end, with all our power, let’s foolishly enough it.

Haruki

Bass – Koichi

I’m sorry for the unexpected announcement.

Since I joined part-way through, there are probably people who think that I shouldn’t really be saying that.

However, if you can enjoy all of the band, from VanessA to the new VANESSA, I’ll be glad.

We still have some time, so until the very end, please don’t take your eyes off of us.

We’ll definitely do lives that make you think, “I’m glad that I’m a fan of VANESSA”.

May 14th

We’re waiting!

Drums – You

VANESSA is disbanding.

First, I want to say how sorry I am to all the fans who have been supporting us and to all those connected to the band for having to move the oneman live up, and for the drastic changes to the releases.

Since VANESSA started, we’ve been through a lot of good times, tough times and sad times.
But it wasn’t only tough times, or hard times, and it really has been a wonderful experience for me.

I think that being able to turn things around from being sad and depressing, is something that I owe to all of you who have been supporting us.

Right now, there are various reasons as to why we’re disbandng, and it’s something that we all decided together.

It’s selfish to say this, but for the little bit of time we have left, I’d be happy if you could warmly watch over us.

I’m truly sorry for the unexpected announcement.
