fucking sad disbandment. girugamesh is a staple on the  scene, one of the biggest torch bearers.... Satoshi is a fucking beast, top 3 VK (?) vocalists '00 onwards... MUSIC is a freaking BIBLE of what vk was about to become.

Bummer. I haven't listened to them since their first couple of albums and didn't care for later releases but I know they were super popular and well loved! The dorkiest dorks to ever dork in music. Bye, girugamesh.

holy shit the disbandment train just doesn't stop today

For some reason this doesn't come as a surprise but on the other hand they seemed like a band that could have gone on for ages. Been listening to them since way back when and saying this doesn't at least hurt a little would be a lie.
 
Now I'm also extra sad that I can't go to the European tour because of circumstances, even though I initially was planning on going. It's been 7 years since I saw them live and I never really thought they'd "not come back" one day.
 
I guess at least I'm glad they're going out with Chimera for a last release rather than something like Now or Go.
 
We had a good run, Giru. You'll be missed.

i fucking hate seeing bands leave on such a strong note, chimera was totally awesome.
i don't stan them all that hard but to echo everyone else's sentiment, i just assumed they'd stay together for a while longer

somewhere out there a single tear is rolling down the girugamesh kid's cheek

Curious to know what is the reason behind this decision.
It's unexpected. If they wanted to disband I believe they will announce it in another way.
Not just  "hey guys, just to say thanks to all of you 'cause our last show is in two months and we  will disband after"
It sounds like hasty announcement for a band like them.

I'm glad seeing the responses here tend to be very positive (unlike many other disbandments.)
 
Personally, I'm so happy that I've witnessed Girugamesh during its entire career.
I just can't imagine if I'll ever like a band as much as I like them again.
Thanks for being such a huge part of my life for over a decade and from now on.

Worst.Sex.Ever.

C'mon man what's with the fucking names these days? Do they just draw words from a hat or something?
 
x3 on the shittiest teaser I've heard. HAHA. Was that 5 seconds each track?

I think it's a great rule to have. There's nothing worse than going to a gig where hundreds of people in front of you have their phone out, recording, taking pictures, some even on facebook. The band came all the way to your country and all you care about is looking at your phone? That's what I always think about people who have it out for the whole hour and a half.  Youre recording all these videos you probably won't watch ever again, let's be honest.  
 
One time when I went to see Miyavi, this douchelord kept filming his girlfriend for most of the gig, she was dancing to the songs and they were making people open space so he could film her. I'm sorry but... that's ridiculous.  When I went to see this other band, this girl was on facebook and instagram the whole time posting about it, instead of enjoying it. Call me a hippie, but events become a lot more enjoyable without a cellphone or whatever , since some people just don't have any knowledge of common courtesy. Whether you accept it or not, when someone has their phone out it's so hard to not keep glancing at the screen because our eyes are naturally attracted to it.  If a band asks for no pictures, it's not gonna kill me as much as I want proof that I saw them ,etc. It's not that hard to just accept it. I don't have a god complex towards bands, but I'm very thankful that they managed to come to my country and perform.
 
Also, another reason I'm against it is because I'm 1.52m in height and it's already a struggle to see the stage in normal conditions, but when there's someone that's nearly 2m high in front of me and they block the only small square of vision I have with an ipad, then I can't see a thing.
Of course, that's my problem. 

It's not just Japanese bands, some western artists have this policy and I LOVE it.
 
When I saw Danzig last year, it was a strict policy of no cell phones or cameras whatsoever. Anyone who took their phone out of their pocket to text, browse, sneak a photo, etc, was thrown out of the gig without a refund. It was stated on the ticket, but after a few morons tried to sneak shots, anyone who didn't get the idea already got it.
 
It gave the gig a COMPLETELY different feel and I enjoyed it. It added so much to the show; when the lights would cut out, when the spotlight would hit one band member, etc, there were no cell phones on all over the gig lighting it up and making you notice stuff going on elsewhere. 
 
I hope all major bands eventually adopt this practice.

I don't know, but if a band ask me to not take any photos I usually respect them enough to not to take any pictures? It's like that with everything.. If someones ask not to, why do it? I would've understand if they didn't say anything and then got upset that people were taking photos but if they actually ask not to.. Then I don't see the problem. I don't think they try to enforce anything... And well, I'd like to be kind to the bands  I like, especially if they do a oversea tour since everyone can't go to Japan and see them. And if the band suddenly decides to stop touring because fans can't listen or respect them - then you've destroyed for other fans. Maybe your actions doesn't effect you as much and maybe you think that the band are idiots for being so sensitive, but it effects other fans and I don't see why that would be worth it. 
 
And not doing favors by doing live shows? I think it depends who you ask, for some music is very ver very very  important and I, personally feel happy when I've the chance to see my favorite band and I am always thankful if the band decides to come to my country /or in this case near my country. If they want to play the music I like, then I can respect them enough not to force a camera up their faces and take unflattering pictures and spreading them online to laugh at - like some people do.

This.
 
Besides, when I saw a gig in Japan there were "no photo" rules - they even announced it before the live. Everyone agreed to it expect two other girls from overseas who took out their phones anyway and tried to take pictures and well, got told by japanese fans not to so. So it does happen in Japan too.
 

Culture or not, it's their show, at least try to respect something the band asks you to.
