VARB disbands earlier than planned
28
Feb, 2010
Not long ago, we wrote about VARB disbanding. Originally, they planned to disband on March 11th, but due to conflict (seemingly between the members), they instead have cancelled all future plans, and disbanded at their live on February 27th.
They have now updated their OHP with the following announcement:
VARB disbands
First and foremost, the other day we had a sudden announcement, as the members have all stated, we sincerely apologize to everyone for the trouble and the worry that we have caused.
Due to a miscommunication, the members did not all discuss [our plans], and we made the announcement without everyone’s judgement. Please understand that this was not something that was done with band intentions, but there was a further advancement in the situation.
To sum up, the members of VARB all shared their points of view, and finally we had a disucssion, however, as the wishes of the members were different and without all of the members being able to compromise, we felt that continuing on in a band this way is too difficult, and therefore disbanded on February 27th.
This was an extremely disappointing result, and we have to announce that we have cancelled all further plans.
Although we were reluctant for things to turn out this way, we are truly grateful for all of your support.

VARB disbands and Hiron retires
27
Feb, 2010
VARB has announced on their OHP that they will be disbanding on March 11th. On that same day, Hiron will be retiring from music. At the event (which is sponsored by VARB), both 独立国歌-Ashe’- and J∀CK11 (Hiron’s former bands) will be performing for a one day revival.
This message was posted on their OHP:
VARB Disbands
At this time, we have an important announcement for everyone.As a result of numerous discussions between the members of VARB, and due to things such as a gap forming between us in respect to our musical direction, we are finding it difficult to continue on with the band, and therefore have decided to disband after our live at the event on March 11th.
Furthermore, vocalist Hiron has decided to take a road that separates him from the music scene, and will be retiring from band activities as of March.
Our decision is a result of all of us talking about it as much as we could with much trouble, and we deeply apologize that things have reached this point.
On the day that VARB disbands and that Hiron retires from music, we have a special project planned… the bands that Hiron has been in the past, 独立国歌-Ashe’- and J∀CK11 will be having one day revival lives.
We will be truly happy if we can gather a large group of people for our final live, and make it a climatic day.
