Asagi was diagnosed with temporomandibular joint disorder 9 years ago. It's a chronic desease that makes it very painful to speak and sing at all. Asagi, being the workaholic he is, he pushed his own limits until by the end of 2014 he couldn't sing anymore due to the pain on his jaw. They went on hiatus from november 2014 until around september 2015. It should have been a longer hiatus, but I'm pretty sure Asagi pushed himself again so he could go back to singing.

For anyone who cares about this piece of information, the whole Alice in Wonderland theme is either over or momentarily paused, or at least that's what D is leading us to believe with the latest announcements on twitter.

I knew of his temporomandibular joint disorder, and I always wondered if it would end his career but he kept on pushing himself. I am glad he did rest a little, even though I agree with you that he should have allowed himself quite a bit more time to recover. I thank you for your detailed information about the Alice in Wonderland theme, I did wonder about its longevity though.

Dandelion was their goodbye song before the hiatus and it was about the end of the war Justice and the four knights have been fighting during the whole Vampire Saga story. It's a song about going home after the battle and starting anew, if I remember correctly.

Whoa they went on a hiatus? I literally have no idea what transpired with the band after 2012, so that is very shocking to me. How long was their hiatus?

Nice to see you too<3

Thank you friend! I feel much better now. Also hello again! This is kanwalabear/malice rose from Twitter. I finally joined the forum you suggested. It feels nice to start being a part of the community again, little by little. 

I wonder if they ever plan on releasing this, because I have been holding my breath for this for a year and I keep fearing it was actually released and I just missed it.

Kagerou brings back such good memories. I absolutely loved them.

I love Amber Gris!

@Mephistopheleswelcome back
What are your thoughts on their latest albums?

Ah, thank you! I have not yet listened to Wonderland Savior,  Master Key or Happy Unbirthday. The last I listened to was Dandelion and it had a very different mood to it than what I am accustomed to. In The Name of Justice was the last tour I had dedicated myself to listening to before I stopped indulging, and I felt like there was a much deeper note of melancholy in Asagi's voice back then than there is now. That is not to say I enjoy it any less, I just feel as if the music is lighter from the sound of his voice and the accompaniment as well. 

I just recently finished reading The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchinson. It is the first book in a new series called the Collector Trilogy.

I have been a fan of D since their start, though a few months after I attended their live show in Dallas, TX I began to gradually stop listening to them due to some personal events in my life which caused me to step away from all things Jrock. I recently downloaded everything that was released after 2012 until just before their most recent release, and it was a very emotional few days for me as I listened through what I had kept away from myself and was reminded of how deeply I loved this band,

Hello, what forums were you active on in the past? 

I am not certain I was ever active on actual forums before. I was at one point on livejournal and a part of their groups, as well as MySpace and DeviantArt groups, but I do not recall any forums I was specifically on as a member.

Enjoy your time here! We got what you need ^^

Thank you!

I am mostly in search of deadman merchandise as it is rather difficult to come across especially so long after their disbanding.

nice pic *harharhar*

enjoy your time here~!

Ah, yes! Same to you! 

Good day,

It has been many years since I have been active in the Jrock/Visual Kei scene. I was provided this forum name as a suggestion from a friend when I inquired about certain music I was searching for. I am a little hesitant to emerge again in the community after being absent for so many years, but I wished to at least say hello while I am here.

Thank you for having me.
