Tetora

I don't think even the most critic voices would dare to say anything negative about them at this point seeing as they played a huge role (along with other acts) in this 00s-10s VK wave or w/e you name it (i.e. how we, 20-somethings and prolly 30s know VK in its glory).

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.

ughhh, i thought they would last a while longer too...i haven't heard much of their recent stuff, but all their early stuff are awesome. i love every song from Reason of crying.................that kinda makes me want to cry now.

Whaaaat I hadn't listened to most of their recent releases, but they always seemed like they were doing well, and their early work was among my favorites at the time. Sad to see them go.

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

This is sad to hear for sure. I thought they were really getting their creative juices flowing but perhaps they've all grown so much as musicians that they simply don't feel they can keep going in a direction that they can agree on for the future. I wish the best for all of them and hope to see where they go afterwards.

Idk why but i always had this nagging feeling that they'd call it quits sooner or later. Everyone will be well off after this disbandment and will probably still be pretty active after. Shuu has KEEL, Ryo could do his own solo album if he really wanted to because his compositions and covers are pretty boss. Didn't Satoshi also have another band on the side too?
 
Either way, yeah this sucks but enh. Shit happens. They're leaving on a strong note imo and they've prob done all that they can or wanna do. Its cool with me.

BRB lighting everything on fire. 
 
They are one of my favorite bands this is too much to handle first thing in the morning. 

Crap I just heard about this, and it seems everyone else has already heard the news.
 
Is there a link to this news on their twitter?
 
It's disappointing news indeed, hearing a nostalgic band of yours break this type of news abruptly, just when you think they were coming back.
 
I wish I wasn't so broke from seeing the GazettE in NYC, then maybe I'd fly out and see them.
 
 

Reading this was unexpected and genuinely painful and saddening.  I have been along for the ride ever since 2006 when the PV for Owari to Mirai was released and made me fall in love with their sound.  Their recent revival blew me away and made me excited for their future, which made this announcement hit all the harder.  Much like the announcement when D'espairsRay disbanded, it will take me a while to accept and come to the realization that one of my favorite bands in the scene is no longer creating music together.
 
This is just terrible news.

I can't believe this. Girugamesh's music has made a huge part of my teenage years less depressed. What will I do without them? ;_____; *cries in corner*

This is some really sad news, they were definitely one of my favorites. But I support them, I hope they find happiness in their next endeavors. 

actually you could already expect it because of the vocalist solo project REDMAN (not that that band is still active...)
Still shocking, wished I could see them in May but I simple don't have 60Euro to be able to go to the concert.  (need that money for LOUDNESS in June)
 
 
>_<
oh well,
 
Bye bye Girugämesh you will be missed!!~~

This is a sad day. They are one of my all-time favourite bands. What's the reason behind this choice? Did they just grow tired of the band? I hope Satoshi can focus on REDMAN at this point and maybe the other members will still continue doing music too.

I didn't expect this, they are in the peak of their music career.

Last night was a lot of fun but I was kinda surprised that they didn't announce coming back from their hiatus. I'm sure they'll do another live similar to this one in a few months and make an announcement.... hopefully.....
But regardless it was nice that they gave a "we're still alive and we're not going anywhere" live to keep the fans happy until they decide to come back.
 
The flowers were pretty cool btw.

Meh just respect the band's wishes, not that hard

I can understand that, but I think is more or less a question of good sense. I mainly stay on the back row in concerts, I really don't enjoy the crowd. So I take one or two pictures and that's it. Those guys who spend 1:30 hours with their cellphone up are indeed annoying

When you multiply taking one or two pictures with the amount of people in the audience, it's an instant "sea of cameras."
 
I'd rather spend my time dancing and headbanging than taking a few shitty pictures I will never watch again. 

I think I'm one of the few people to actually say this is a good thing. Not specifically for the reason they say it is, but have you ever stood in a pit with people dancing and moshing around while a whole bunch of people are trying to film things and take pictures? You know how many times they look at you like you've murdered someone just because "oh no, my picture got ruined thanks to you". Then when they drop their phones and the screens crack, it's also your fault because you bumped into them. First few rows or balcony places are totally something else but don't take pics when you're in the middle of a moving crowd :/ (it's also annoying when other people who aren't filming are trying to look at what's happening on stage. You just get arms flinging around trying to take the perfect shot of their idols)
 
I'm also not really sure on what's so fun about watching a full gig through your phone/camera's screen while the people are playing right in front of you.

I don't take pictures at gigs do I don't mind it at all. In fact I think it's great.

As others have already mentioned before me, I think the biggest reason is to keep the perfect image and to not have unflattering pictures of the band members online.
 
Every single VK gig overseas that I've attended has had this policy. And I think it's great, because it frees the audience to just enjoy the concert instead of trying to capture the perfect picture of your favorite member (which will just fail miserably anyways). I don't think they enforce the policy to sell their own photosets though, since those are usually the official photos and not photos taken during concerts.
