I don't know why this year seems so fucked up. I mean in the visual kei and/or jrock music industry. Members leaving bands, bands disbanding.. great people dying. It is one tragedy after another.
And tonight I found out Ayabie is disbanding.
Yes, Ayabie. The band I have been faithfully following ever since they were unknown.
They are disbanding.
Shocked? More than that. Especially when I figured out why exactly they are disbanding.
Lately Aoi, the vocalist (or should I say, ex?), has started his solo carier. It seems he got too fond of it, and finally decided to leave Ayabie.
The rest of them, Yumehito, Intetsu, Takehito and Kenzo.. they won't keep Ayabie alive, instead, they will team up and form a new band. Under what name, we can only wait and see.
I don't even.. What can you say about a situation like this? I wanted to blame Aoi for everything, for the immense pain that their fans (including me) must be feeling. I wanted to ask him to come back, they've lost Ryouhei once but they had done well with Yumehito. I wanted to ask the other 4 to keep going with Ayabie, find a new vocalist and move on. Lolita23q managed to do that, why couldn't they?
I wanted to cry, but I couldn't.
I think about other bands that I love, and all I can do is pray that they won't go through the same fate. But deep inside I know, yes I know, that all bands will reach that point where everything is pointless. Ideas dry away. Creativity and friendship die. The end that everybody fears will have become a pleasant way out by then. Sarcasm? No, just the truth. Truth hurts, as always.
Aoi, I don't know what the heck you were thinking. But if leaving your band is the best option in regards of your future, I can only wish you won't falter in your path.
Yumehito, Kenzo, Intetsu, Takehito, hang on guys. Stick together, you have the chemistry. Good luck with your new band, I will be waiting for your debut.
Tonight I am again a brokenhearted girl.
