Honestly I'm not surprised by the news as they haven't been performing that well on Oricon since Destination onwards ?

But still , I can't help but feel really upset/devastated as they have been 1 of the many other artistes I've followed/supported from their debut til now & such a cruel irony for them to announce this today of all days D:

I do hope Chisa will be able to launch some solo career after this but since she's getting married , I have no idea :x , let alone for the other 2 too

And it's a big slap to Daisuke as it's the 2nd time he has been in an avex group which will be disbanding & it's like deja vu all over for him I'm sure

All in all , I wish all 3 of them the best of luck after they part ways end of the year T_T

Just heard about it.

Can't say I'm surprised, bit it is kind of sad. I always feel this way when a group disbands.

But they were one of the first singles I purchased upon arriving in Japan 5 years ago so they still hold a special place in my heart.

I wonder if they'll release any new songs on THE LAST?

This is so weird to me. I've been watching them since they debuted. Granted; they fell off after NEXT FUTURE for me. But I wish them all the best.

Honestly, I'm not surprised about that news. GND tried to changed their image & it failed. You can clearly see that the band went to nowhere for last years! It's sad because their debut was really nice & full of hope regarding their music!

Thats so sad, became a fan when I was in Japan.

I'm kinda sad, they have really good songs. Sadly i was expecting this.

I'm kind of sad about this. But I shouldn't be surprised, especially about (what someone said earlier) their lackluster performance... :(

The preorder links for girl next door THE LAST were all already released yesterday on all the major online sites

And frankly I'm still debating if I should get it as for now I'm not so keen on the contents for all 3 editions of girl next door THE LAST

Luckily I didn't buy Single Collection as that was such a total waste of a release

9 cd's ?! How's that possible? lol

Does that mean it'll include like, the live recordings and also remix albums and stuff?

Their website hasn't announced what will the contents be for all 3 editions of girl next door THE LAST

Spending 21,000 Yen on girl next door THE LAST ~PREMIUM COMPLETE BOX~ is daunting to me

GIRL NEXT DOOR To Disband

http://www.jpopasia.com/news/girl-ne...nd::14754.html

I wonder if it includes their singles as well!

I hope chisa gets a soli career. Always been a fan of their songs so this is quite sad :(

^Mmmm, maybe in some years, she probably wants to create a family and blah blah blah

Some added details for girl next door THE LAST ~PREMIUM COMPLETE BOX~

他、

That's a lot of stuff being given away & the handwritten lyrics booklet that's written by Chisa herself is quite a big carrot dangling

Chisa officially married Kitajima Kosuke yesterday
