Definitely D'espairsRay. It was kinda like they had to disband unwillingly. Still personally hope that they will come back together some day.
 
Another band could be RENTRER EN SOI, but considering all the drama happening within the band itself, disbanding could be the only way out.
On top of that, the two core RES members joining sukekiyo makes RENTRER EN SOI's disbandment more acceptable to me.
But what I regret up til now is that they disbanded when their musical career was at the peak, the quality of their music was so good back then.

What are some bands that you absolutely LOVE, that are no longer together and you wish they still were? 
 
For me, D'espairsRay is my number one band that is no longer together, and I wish they were. I'm just glad that they still make music, even if it's not with eachother. 

D'espairsRay for sure, even if it meant their quality kept dropping. I was devastated once RENTRER EN SOI disbanded too, but now I can find comfort in knowing they ended things before it all went to shit (and it would've happened). Their timing was perfect.
 
Other than that, I just wish Isshi was still alive.

Damn, I had ruminate on this for a good hour... This would be my selection if I was forced to bring only 5 vk jewel cases on a long road trip. In fact, all of the ones listed below have been on my road trip rotation. I couldn't choose 5 actual "top" albums, so I went for densely packed albums/best-ofs w/ my favorites. There were artists like xTRiPx, ViViD, and クラビア (Clavier) missing b/c my favorite tracks were too scattered to include a single album.
 
Main Set:
パノラマ虚構ゼノン - XENON BEST SELECTION キャンセル (Canzel) - BeST SONGS -SOFT TRACKS-  ダウナー (DOWNER) - セットリスト Royz - Revolution to New AGE the Raid. - 【bo_ya SIDE】COUPLING BEST *6 really close runner-ups (possible switch-outs):
NEXX - cap:cell girugamesh - MUSIC Janne Da Arc - SINGLES 2 MoNoLith- MONOLITH vistlip - THEATER #ロストワールド(Lost World) - 幻想世界地図

Oh, sounds nice! I didn't know what to make of the band initially, but I'm liking the music. Nice on the ears. Gonna keep an eye on them

For me I've found that the best way to deal with being single is just accepting it and finding other ways to fill that void. I've spend my free time learning new things or building on my hobbies. And in between, spending time with friends and family. And if all else fails, I find that music is the one thing I can always go back to in any number of circumstances.

Dating apps are fun from time to time, but there's just this ambiguous wall that I have a hard time getting past when I match with people. I try to just have fun with it and use it as a platform to meet interesting people, even if we don't meet irl. 

You figure with a population of over 5 billion people and a large number of those people seeking a relationship, finding a potential mate would be somewhat within the realm of possibility 😂

GARAK's will disband after their live at Shibuya REX on 2019.08.04.
