PrizmaX disbanded

I am sure most EBiDAN fans already know about this, since once again I am pretty late about these news. As you can read in the titel of this post PrizmaX disbanded this year, to be exact the disbanded on March 27th 2020. Not too long ago they announced that Yuuki will leave the group and then pretty suddenly it was announced that all of them are disbanding. I don't know what's the reason for this and to be honest I am quite disappointed because it hasn't been that long since Kevin, Hidetoshi and Fuminori were added to the group. I feel like they didn't even try a lot. However I do like each member a lot so I do hope it was the right decision for them to make. Also hope that all of them have a bright future and do what they love. Maybe we will see some of them in the music industry again.

Wishing them all the best.

What do you think about their disbanding?

CODE-V disbanded

My heart just broke when reading these news. I am so late with this because there is so many groups I follow that I check out certain groups only once in a while, thought I do love these groups. So just today I went to check out the website of Code-V, to look up if there is some new release announced but sadly I had to discover that they disbanded in december of last year. They have been one of my favorite groups for many years now, so I am very sad about this. However there is at least one good news. Niiisan's (a sub-unit of Code-V) is keep on doing music on their own. So at least three of them will keep on doing music. 

Sang Woo, SOL, Rui

Since Rui and SOL have always been my favorite members and I love the mini album Niiisan's released back in 2017, I am really happy that they continoue doing music together. I don't know about Tae Hoon and Nalaw. Maybe they will keep on doing music solo, I at least think Nalaw could do that since he changed his name to Naro and his solo name was Nasty Naro.  I hope these two will do music as well but for now I am just glad that Sang Woo, SOL and Rui will not disappear. 

I am really sad about the disbanding but I am also happy that I was able to see them live once because one of the worst things about groups disbanding is that you won't be able to see them performing live together. At least for me.

I wish all of them a bright future and that they can do what they want and be always happy with their decisions. And of course I am going to support Niiisan's, like I did support Code-V.

BExDUNK disbanded

BExDUNK was a five member indie group under avex. They have been active since 2016 and sadly disbanded in August 2018. I am know I am really late with these news once again but I thought about sharing this info now anyway. As you can see on the picture above they had their last performance as BExDUNK on a-nation 2018, which is a big music festival held by avex every year.

It's sad to see them breaking up because they had a great chemistry and I loved watching them intereact. I also loved their music and their dancing is pretty nice too. Especially Ten who is an awesome dancer. All the members are still active in social media, so I will link their accounts in this post and Ryuki started a youtube chanel, which is great too.

MAGiC BOYZ going to disband

I finally got myself to write this post and it makes me very sad. On June 6th 4 member group MAGiC BOYZ announced to disband after their "MAGiC BOYZ iTTAN FAiNAL" live which will be held on July 16th 2018. The group got formed as a four member group back in 2014 and went through severel member changes. That's also a reason they decided to finally disband. Mahiro is going to quite the whole music scene and concentrate his studies. Also he would like to become an actor later. For the other three members they will stay with EBiDAN and Stardust and want to make music together, just not under the name of MAGiC BOYZ. It's also not stated if it will be a similir music style or maybe something totaly different. Maybe they are also getting to add new members. Well eveything is unkonw so far but I am looking forward to the outcome. 

As for me personal I am sad about this announcement, thought I haven't been their biggest fan in the beginning, they totaly grew on me. I started to enjoy their music and I liked their live performances. They have always been the most outstanding group of EBiDAN because their concept was so very different to the other groups. I am sad they will disband but I am looking forward to a new group with Toma, Ryuto and Joe and I wish Mahiro all the best for his future and I will be happy to see him in a drama or movie one day.

PALET is going to disband

Idol group PALET will disband at the end of December. They will held their last concert on December 28th and will be officially disbanded after it. I used to be a huge PALET fan from before their major debut, so I am sad about these news. However over the years they lost many members and many new ones joined the group, There is only two original members still left. I cried when all the old members left and therefor I am not as sad right now, because I don't really know the new members and don't feel as much love for the current PALET then I did for the old PALET.  I am very sad for Yui and Miyucho though because they have been there from the beginning on an keept on fighting for their dream no matter how many hard times they had to go through. I hope they will be able to form another group. They deserve being on stage if they still have that dream. The old PALET will forever be in my heart and I wish all the members the best, also the new members.  Here is a picture they recently posted on Twitter. They had a meet up with all the original members, even Hikaru was there (who left them after the release of their 2nd indie mini album), as well as Yumi and Mayu (who joined the group later).

Did you know them? What do you think about them disbanding?

japanese groups that broke my heart...

Over the years I have been into Japanese music I saw many groups come and go and artists I liked suddenly stopped releasing new things. However there are a few groups that after all this time I still miss and wish they would come back together. Here are the few groups that broke my heart with disbanding.

Cocoa Otoko 

2010-2012

Let’s start with the first group that broke my heart. Cocoa Otoko was a 5 member rock group that got formed out of a varity show and all the members were actors. I really loved this group because their songs were amazing and their personalities were awesome too. I especially like(d) KenKen because he is really openminded and adorable. Sadly they didn't last long and I was incredible sad when they announced to disband. I was so sad that after they disbanded I couldn't listen to their music for quite a while. It just made my heart break again and again. Nowadays I do listen to their music again but it still makes me sad. Besides it made me happy to see Takuya doing music again when he joined Ryoga, thought sadly he is going to leave the group again at the end of the year but at least I was able to follow him a little longer. At least here are two of my favorite songs of them.

YA-KYIM

2002-2012

YA-KYIM was the first group that made me cry because of their disbanding. They have always been special for me, on the one hand because their music is really good and on the other hand I connect them with my first ever travel to Japan back in 2009. I still remember that their music was playing all around Shibuya back then and whenever I play their "Happy! Enjoy! Fresh!" album and close my eyes I feel like being in Tokyo again. Back when they disbanded I did hope the members would continue with doing music but it's really hard to find new information about them. Here are two songs I loved a lot of them but there is much more I love.

BRIGHT 

2001-2013

I was am deeply in love with this group, starting from their major debut in 2008. They are 4 damn talented woman and their disbanding made me cry a lot not only because I was sad but also because I was angry about the fact that such a talented and amazing group, which deserved SO much more attention, didn't get more promotion in the first place. It's not even that they released only music that is for a certain audience but they had many main stream pop songs too which could have been much more popular. I will always love these girls and try to support them as much as I can. I know Nanaka and Mimi both released solo music and Nagi is a choreographer and I think works at a dance school. I don't know about Meg but I hope whatever all of them do, they do fine and they are happy. Their music will always be on my iPod and I will always enjoy listening to their gorgeous music!

VIMCLIP

2011-2015

Vimclip is definitly the group I miss the most. Whenever I think about the fact the disbanded it makes me sad. I honestly miss them SO much as a group but at least most of them are still more or less active in the music industry. Reo is the leader of the group Ryoga and he owns his own label for clothes (that I one day want to own something of). Tomo does music under the name "WHYTE",he released a mini album and is mostly active with participating in live events. Eiku is active solo but he is only performing in certain clubs from time to time. Kazuki formed a duo with a guitarist, they were called "Lock&." but it seems it didn't went too well. The only member I don't really know about is Take but since he had some health issuies I just hope he is doing fine. I can imagine him already haveing a little family but whatever he lives like now, I hope he is happy and in good health. I wish all of them the best from the bottom of my heart. Besides I am extremly thankful that sometimes when they still meet up all together, they post pictures. Here is one example.

It makes me extremly happy to see them meeting up once in a while and that they still seem to be good friends. I love these guys and they will always be important for me and I will always support them with whatever they do.

Dream5 

2009-2016

Dream5 is another group I dearly love(d). At least their disbanding wasn't sudden because after Momona left the group I kind of knew that they won't continue. However it still made me sad but after crying so much when Momona left I was way less emotional at the complete disbanding. I guess that was because for me Dream5 wasn't Dream5 anymore when Momona left. I saw them grow up from little kids to juveniles and I wish I could have seen them grow up more. At least Akira and Yuuno are still pretty active in social media. Akira is performing in stage playes and is in some kind of dance crew, also he is doing quite some modeling. Yuuno is also modeling but slowly turns into a gravur idol and to be honest that's not the direction I wish her to go...!

I mean she really is pretty and has a a great shaped body but she just turned 18 in october and I still remember her being so chibi back then... it feels kind of bad to see her as a gravure idol. To be honest I fear she might go the wrong way and since she has always been my favorite member in the group I wish for her only the best the most and this doesn't feel like the best... Maybe I am just exaggerating but yeah... I just hope she is happy. I don't know about the other members. Momona told to stay out of the entertainment industry and Kotori hasn't been seen after leaving Avex either. At least here are two picters of Akira because I am always stunned at how handsome he became and how much he grew up.

The first picture is from their debut, he was around 12 years old back then, and the second pictures is a newer one, I think he is around 19/20 y.o. in this picture.






Are there any groups that broke your heart with disbanding?

Home Made Kazoku dissbanded

I don't know why I am so late with stuff like this sometimes. I think this time I just refused to believe this is happening and ignored the titel of the last album which I knew since it was announced. Calling an album "Last Forever Best" is already a good hint right. >-< But now reading that they actually disbanded makes me incredible sad. Once again a group I dearly loved disbanded. I don't like that. I will always keep their awesome music in my heart, especially my all time favorite song "Summer Time Magic". I am so thankful for all the great years and all the amazing music. I know some of them doing solo activities now so I wish them all the best for that. In generell I wish them all the best for their future, including their privat live!

I will miss them a lot but they will stay in my heart forever!

Dream5 is disbanding

It's official, Dream5 are disbanding. I already had a feeling this would happen because it got so silent around them after Momona left the group in april this year and now it really happend. I am so sad. I did follow them for so long now, they have been one of my biggest Jpop loves and now they will be gone soon. I wish I could have seen them live at least once before the disbanding but it can't be helped. They will officially be disbanding on the 31th december 2016. Right now I can't really believe nor do I want to believe it. Here is a cute video of them, you should check it out.

CustomiZ Last Live

As most of you might already know CustomiZ disbanded last month. They hold their final live on the 29th august 2016 and from then on are officially disbanded. I just found some pictures of their last live performance and want to share my favorites with you.

I can't believe I won't ever be able to see them again as a band.

Hiroki was definitly the most emotional at the live, that makes me like him even more and on the same time makes me even more sad.

As you might guess I am a little biased towards Hiroki but his appearence on stage is incredible. CustomiZ has been one of my absolute favorite bands, especially when it came to live performances. I am incredibly sad about them disbanding, just thinking about it makes me cry. I will badly miss them and I hope we will still be able to watch them grow up, even after this disbanding and for Hiroki and Daichi I wish them to be on stage soon again and make music, even if it's with another band I will support them forever. Thank you guys for all this great time and music and I wish you all the best.

You can find more pictures as well as the setlist here. http://natalie.mu/music/news/200350

Kaleido Knight disbanding

Kaleido Knight did releases their last single "By Your Side" on the 5th march 2016. With this single they announced their disbanding. They will have their last performance as Kaleido Knight on the 21st march. After this last performance they will officially be disbanded. The once 5 member strong band had released their first single in January 2013, thought they started to get active in mid 2012, which means they have been a group for a bit more then three years. I wasn't their greatest fan but I always think it's sad when a band disapears. Here is the music video for their last single.

Let's wish them all success for their future way, what ever their dreams might be.

Thanks for reading!
