"An Important Announcement from Versailles:
Dear Enduring, Loyal Supporters,
We would like to announce that Versailles has decided to stop all activities by the closing of the year.
Being our 5th anniversary -- and without any clear direction heading into the future -- we have decided that it was in the best interest of the band and the music, our staff and supporters, in order to pursue our artistic and personal goals outside of the current framework, to stop all of our activities by the end of 2012.
Since the beginning the "ROSE" has played a central role, both thematically and symbolically, for Versailles. The "ROSE," which is also the title song of their 5th anniversary single, is about birth, becoming and being - in short, their story to the world.
The band will release their farewell album September 26th and tour domestically soon afterwards. On December 20th, Versailles with have their grand finale which be performed at NHK Hall in Tokyo.
Please come and show your support to Versailles and their final journey. "There was a lot of confusion earlier, but we have received confirmation from management that this is NOT a disbandment.
That was really unexpected, I really didn't expect for this.
ReplyDeleteHiatus is not a good thing, the quality of the band may fall when they come back or the band can end during the hiatus, was there so many bands than entered on hiatus and never returned.
Oh god, this is so disappointing, every day that passes the visual kei scene becomes more inexpressive.
i cried more when i read this than i've ever cried at a funeral
ReplyDeleteI am so confused right now..
ReplyDeleteIs this the sure end or is it really just a hiatus? I don't understand anything anymore..
I'm still shattered into a billion pieces.. and seeing the four boys with the new vocalist who for some reason has the same hairstyle and colour like Kamijo and Jupiter having the exact same pictures and poses like Versailles did, really really confuses me!
Is there a chance that they will get back together as Versailles or is this it?
