D'espairsRay Breaks up

Yumsushi · #1 16th June 2011, 09:05 PM

A few days late but to those who are fans, the band is no more. Hizumi's farewell message:

"For the treatment of my through we have gone on an infinite hiatus and while having undergone acupuncture, chiropractic and Qigong, even now the restoration of it is not yet in sight. As a result of the talks with all four members and since we can't revive activities like this, it is like a natural extinction. We came to the conclusion that we should break this up with dignity.

Please, everyone, who had hoped for our return, forgive us this betrayal it has become.

Unfortunately we also can't be doing a final live, but I hope we can return something to you in a different shape.

With the beginning of this band, a number of meetings have come about and through joyful, sad and tough times, there hadn't been a single superfluous experience.

Thank you to everyone who loved D'espairsRay for these 11 years."
-- HIZUMI

This is really upsetting! I only got to see them last year and it was one of the best I've shows ever seen, and they were so much fun to listen to. Such a loss to the Jrock World. I hope Hizumi can recover fully.

If MUCC and Dir en Grey break up ever break up, I'm going to have to give up on Jrock.

Very unexpected... Man, I was hoping to go to one of their concerts someday.

I don't expected Dir en grey to break up anytime soon, but I would very upset MUCC broke up suddenly like this too. Even moreso than D'espairsRay, actually...
