Thank you so much for posting!

I've read several comments of people being confused or (sadly most of them) making fun of the band.

A friend of mine just replied with 'this will hurt Aoi'.
I told her I doubt they did this without him knowing at all, I totally can't imagine they acted in such a way.

So thank you for confirming my impression them is still correct.

I'm curious on how they will sound like, be their new songs and sound (I read they said it would be different from what had been done until now) and also on Yume's voice.

Please hold on while I translate Intetsu's entry...

People have been too busy making assumptions without waiting for the full story.

Also, nothing has been announced regarding who will be the new vocalist. As much as everyone suspects Yume will be the new vocalist, I don't think we should take it to be true for now.

Okay, so I take this with Yume back. I read it somewhere as some edited news so I thought it was trustworthy since most of their news are.

Yeah, sadly people doing this most of the time. Just guessing and assuming stuff without any knowledge of the truth. And instead of waiting and keeping these thoughts for themselves they just spread bullshit and act totally immature.

Btw. I re-read my first comment, I'm sorry for all the mistakes, I shouldn't write while being too tired (but that would mean not writing at all these days).

So, here's a hypothesis: Aoi gets to keep the kanji version of Ayabie while the four others keep the alphabetical ones and capitalize it?

Still a bit weird though ^^;
