You can't put a price on seeing some internet people act heartbroken and shocked over such an announcement from a band whom they claim undying devotion to yet....
 
..not devoted enough to know VK bands work. Like they are REALLY surprised as if they think some unforeseen tragedy has taken place to cause this.
 
They don't seem to realize how much in excess their output was... probably see no difference in the quality of releases either. I guess they assume songs just kind of write themselves if you spend enough time being cute and all. The boys do give that impression..
 
Stay on hiatus until their short-term attention span dies out, then quietly come back and.... try to build a better fanbase.
 
I'm a fan of MEJIBRAY and I think MEJIBAY fans deserve everything they've got coming to them in life lol

Tumblr is just full of fangirls whining as if they were going to disband. Also, hardly anyone in this fandom does anything for the fans and it's been like that for years, so don't count on the fanbase to translate anything at all. They prefer to spam the social media of band members and tumblr with riddiculous comments.

I've thought about this a lot and I think I've come up with a solution
 
 
We need to ban americans, scandinavians and anyone who's been into vk for less than a decade from the scene.

No one mentioned these people, who think vkei is big in Japan and they call the musicians celebrities xD

Am I the only one, who's not surprised? They've been releasing way too much, their music just sounds the same all the time, it feels like they're out of new ideas. A break will be good for them, because they've been too busy with shit. I highly doubt they would announce a hiatus if they were going to disband, stop being such drama queens.

Not surprising since they stopped releasing songs as frequently as before. As much as enjoy some of what they put out I do hope they learn quality is more important than quantity.

Not surprised and barely let down. The band started as a unique thing that was ruined by incessant single releases that were far too similar. I do hope they use this hiatus to regroup and come back with original ideas. But we'll see. 

+1

They should have done it a long time ago ! 
Their first releases were slightly better than what they have been doing for some time...

No (AFAIK his family is Italian and he was born there too, so no natural born ties to Japan whatsoever - mostly interest-based)
 
I see a whole lot of noise about languages and whether they matter in VK and elsewhere - pro-tip: it's all about the context.
 
Genres often endorsed by Mejibray and alikes as a case in point are no different whether you convert them into piglatin or Russian or pretty much any other language off your Asian endorsement charts: these are the so-called "normalized/neutral household genres". However, musical touches often favored by Kayoukyoku/actually Japanese-oriented music-loving collectives akin to D=OUT or MERRY pretty much require Japanese lexicon to be present in your singing or else you would be met with tons of justified criticism towards dissonance you caused between accompaniment and  stereotypical, "oppressive vocal delivery". The latter is rather frequent but there are ofc means how to change opinions for better though - as long as you assess exactly what is going on with Royal Road-progressions, syllabic specifics, lyrical conventions, rhyming, "good ol' practices" etc.
 
Aforementioned VK acts have done their homework for sure and realize what might be the "no. 1 Nippon best practices" - the question is, have these western Tokyo-stanning weeaboos done the same homework?
 
Different cultural milieus were present during their musical development, "good practices" were understood differently and their bandwagoning is far more reckless. So call it simply "NO".
 
Therefore, linguistic issues won't matter that much - as long as you don't blindly keep cockriding on tacky lexical and musical cliches blasted in your VK household favs, which is what YOHIO keeps doing with DISREIGN. If you are far more versatile in your own spoken AND musical language, perhaps that's the exact language you have "much better ear" in instead of your biases' bandwagon languages. For the sake of relevance, Bataar and especially Patrik have no idea of what kind of "musical language" suits them well - nor do their adopted conventions convince that much because it reeks of fuccboi bandwagoning...
 

I didn't even click "play" in these videos. The thumbnails speak for themselves.
