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

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

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?

[NintendoHTF1242]

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.

[Yoake]

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!

[TeamAyu2004]

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

girl next door announce their disbandment

girl next door has announced that they will be disbanding at the end of the year.

The unit celebrates their 5th year anniversary on September 3rd. Their official website states the details concerning their disbandment, "Upon the milestone of this 5th anniversary, we've had repeated discussions regarding the members' new challenges while respecting our individual activities and lives."

Chisa (Vo) hinted that she will support her fiancé, professional swimmer Kitajima Kosuke, "When I thought about if I would be able to manage both my activities as girl next door and my future with the person I chose to be with... I was really troubled. But since I'm unskilled, I will surely be halfway with one or the other. I thought it would be rude that at such times, I wouldn't be able to 100%, as myself, face everyone who have supported me. That is why I will devote myself to support the person I chose to be with."

Before disbanding, girl next door will release a best-of album "girl next door THE LAST" on November 20 and will hold their last live on December 8 at SHIBUYA-AX.

girl next door is a 3-member unit comprised of Chisa (Vo), Suzuki Daisuke (Key), and Inoue Yuji (G). They made their major debut in September of 2008 with the single "Guuzen no Kakuritsu". Their first appearance in the 'Kohaku Uta Gassen' was in December of 2008. Since then, they've been actively releasing songs and holding concerts.

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

[Bigtop]

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

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

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

Girl Next Door announced that they will officially disband at the end of the year due to the members' will of pursuing personal activities. Before that, the trio will release the best of "girl next door THE LAST" on November 20th and will hold their last live on December 8th.

The announcement was made on their official site right after the celebrations for the band's 5th anniversary.

Chisa hinted the possibility for her to better enjoy her private life with her fiancé and professional swimmer Kitajima Kosuke after concluding their activities: "When I thought about if I would be able to manage both my activities as a singer and my future with the person I chose to be with... I was really troubled.[...] I thought it would be rude that at such times, I wouldn't be able to 100%, as myself, face everyone who have supported me. That is why I will dedicate myself to supporting the person I chose to live my life with".

Is it me or does Chisa looks awfully thin in those photos ? :x

[hayasaki]

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

[adantatu2]

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

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
