Versailles will go on hiatus after the end of this year
I have provided an English translation of HIZAKI's tweets this evening (around 5pm of July 20, 2012).
Feel free to repost this anywhere
(although be warned there could be mistakes, since it is my own translation).
Versaillesの活動休止の報告を英語にお訳するしました。@HIZAKIofficial のツイートの全部：
（自分の訳ので、多分間違いがあるかもしれません）。
We would like to announce that Versailles has decided to pause all activities by the closing of the year.
We welcome five years of formation, but afterwards are looking for another way for our activities;
for the members individual growth, and in order not to be bound by each other's individual form in music-making, Versailles will stop all activities by the closing of the year.
Our fans fulfilled wishes we could not fulfil on our own, we're really, truly greatful to be affected by and helped by so many people. We have arrived at this ending point, simply for music, and so it seems we have this answer to say due to earnestly confronting/facing Versailles.
I'm proud to have devoted myself to going beyond my limits in life. Over a considerable history I've carved out a reputation in this art. I hope afterwards as well, you will watch warmly over each activity; I will be so happy.
And so, someday, I'm sure the rose petals will gather again. At that time, I'll appreciate everyone's assistance I've received.
In the remaining time, my gratitude will be conveyed in our next songs and activities - nothing will be forgotten. Everyone keep in mind forever the love, joy and happiness; from here also wishes and prayers keep continuing.
@--;---
EDIT: PAUSE. PAUSE all activities.
Apparently.
Hiatus, not disbanding.
The wording was ambiguous, but apparently Yuki's blog had an English version anyway, which said it all.
LOL, NEVERMIND YOU CAN ALL GO HOME. GUESS I DIDN'T NEED TO SPEND AN HOUR TRANSLATING.
