Who gives a shit how many followers a band has on social media? Whether they have 200K or 200M, it doesn't make a difference, they can go on a break for a variety of reasons.

new band "vkei-kawaii-jrock!" has formed

don't worry, they will; they'll have a nationwide oneman tour in March~

nope don't think so, other than that enka singer TAKASHI, but I'm pretty sure he's gone too x)

no-aho has announced that the band has left the label

Vocalist NOAH made a brief announcement stating that Avanchick has departed from the troubled label ROCKSTAR RECORDS as of December 7, 2016.

Well they're both church-kei bands, so this wasn't totally unexpected.

oh my god labaiser.............u bitches are killing me here </3

Did they change their name to Lu:natic? lol that satisfies the engrish nazi in me

Another factor to the band's activity pause is that vocalist ToshiA was experiencing some foot pain that was so bad that he had to stop performing in November, which caused the postponement of their 2 last singles for their 5-single campaign and the band had to perform with only 3 members. He was later diagnosed with ankylosin spondylitis (chronic inflammation of joints) and was put into treatment at the hospital. During this time, he then got news of Takahiro's arrest, so he was the one who decided to stop all activities. Guitarist SHINYA is adamant that they'll return, but the others aren't so confident.
