I really hope the hiatus will help them solve any kind of problems they might be having, I hope it won't be too long though! 
Sadie is one of my favourite bands, so it'd be so sad seeing them disbanding (after Lycaon announced too), let's hope this hiatus is for the best! I'm sure they'll come back soon and stronger, so that I'll possibly manage to see them live maybe ;;;;

I love the pv ❤

Great and accurate observations from the two people above.
 
I have taken note of this myself; both that these bands get instant, albeit not particularly sizeable fanbases upon formation without even having released music or even previous band history of the members. If one goes to the facebook pages of these bands you are quick to find out that these are not the people that for example frequent this very forum here, but instead they're almost their own strange breed that is relatively distant from all the happenings in Japanese visual kei. It is true that there are people who cross over and are more in the know, however they remain a minority in a very odd community where even the more universal bands like X and Gazette make far seldom make appearances in their tastes as of those of the people here. The fans present on the social media pages of these nordic groups are moar likely to be into various emo bollocks than whatever just made it into the indie Oricon charts last week. in Tumblr I have not once seen people spamming material from both continents, ever. 
 
Yet despite all this, these bands appear and disappear very fast making very little impact spite inexplicably amassing a considerable amount of facebook likes and youtube views. The fact of the matter is that these bands are the shite playing at the youth center near you and they fail to capitalise on their dubious popularity of a mysterious origin, and end up meeting the same fate that by and large every other "local" band does. The future of visual kei, is not Stockholm nor Helsinki, not the least because here we lack a certain VISUAL KEI infrastructure that allows many bands to last longer and gain more monertary capital backing them that exists in Japan. Being familiar with the circles here, I can say with total confidence that these bands exist almost completely separate of "us", and the weeaboo of the mid 2000's fad are a dying breed, sentenced to death with no possibility to make an appeal, and this is the carcass of the local scene taking its last breaths before it rots away on the pavement. If one of these bands takes off, Japanese visual kei doesn't benefit from it the slightest. Yohio is popular as fuck in Sweden, but where are the Japanese bands touring there? The record sales? Nowhere, that's where. 
 
It's worth noting that Yohio is the only western visual kei band to have ever had a physical release and we all know that was not because we worked his way up the ranks, gathering an organically grown fanbase along the way. He got into Eurovision and broke through with the kids, now working to establish himself there through various different projects.
He obviously flopped in Japan since he has pretty much completely ceased to promote there, has he not? His first solo LP got a release there but the second didn't as far as I know. I would have done the same, and it appears that he has managed to make himself a name in Sweden which is commendable. As a side note according to hear-say this project is the result of him not particularly caring for the fact that his fanbase is at least 3 years short of their first pubic hairs, and therefore this is him really expressing himself without giving a toss, if you will. 

OMG, they just give a preview for "Time in the cellar"

I really need this ! <3
