Zeus 7997 Posted March 19, 2013 Hizumi sent out an announcement to all of his fans on his UMBRELLA Mailing list. The translation can be found here. I will copy the source here in case it gets lost/removed in the future. It's HIZUMI here. Since the year 2013 has started I've met many people these days, doing a band was excellent for real so I have been thinking about doing it another time. (I'm not sure at all about this sentence, I think it's possible to translate it like 1000 ways but if you know a better translation, please comment. At least my Japanese friend said this is OK.) So far when it comes to me, "music = singing", and when I have been thinking about it there haven't been any alternatives, Somehow I don't know which form to put UMBRELLA but I've been thinking about taking music part of it, Until now in the relation of design I've achieved the level of satisfaction of the results (thank you for my Japanese friend about this one!), from there I think it would be fun to raise one level. These days have been interesting because of my various feelings. Well, this year has been going quickly and soon it's March so I have been thinking about doing an offline store meeting. Time and date are from 23rd March (Saturday) to 24th (Sunday), two days. Location is Koenji BUDDY. By the way, Koenji BUDDY has moved in the same building to basement F1, (the info) isn't mistake. It's time to leave for work etc so I'll contact you later. I'm also having plans to make new goods, waiting forward it~! Well then see ya! HI" If you're wondering the significance behind it, that means he's fully healed! 4 clow_eriol, kodama-kun, Eraser and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shaolan974 6185 Posted March 19, 2013 This is a really good news, I hope to hear his voice again and again ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Licio123 181 Posted March 19, 2013 That's great! For sure Hizumi is one of the best vocalists in the japanese music scene. Now come back, D'espa XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nick 10212 Posted March 19, 2013 I'd like to see D'espairsRay come back together, or their disbandment would be for nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freesia 714 Posted March 19, 2013 It's good news. But if D'espairsRay could really come back, wouldn't they make it a hiatus instead of disbandment in the first place? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RED RUM 49 Posted March 19, 2013 ^ they went on hiatus but they disbanded because HIZUMI didn't see a change, didn't want the other members to wait for him until forever (... or, what I think, their label forced them to disband because a band on hiatus = no money ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LIDL 692 Posted March 19, 2013 Just hope not dissapoint us all. Gonna see where this will lead to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scarlet Obsidian 383 Posted March 19, 2013 This is an awesome news!! I can't wait to hear his voice again *__* And btw Candy Warhol...your avatar and your signature are really creepy... O.o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pandabear 414 Posted March 19, 2013 Great news. I wonder if this means Despa will get back together again or if Hizumi will start up or join another band. I wouldn't mind either, but I do want Despa back. And hopefully the time apart was good for them. I wasn't too fond of Monsters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
X-Marc 7 Posted March 19, 2013 please revive Despa! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clow_eriol 240 Posted March 19, 2013 DESPA COMEBACK!!!!!!!! That new make my day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
futoshi92 34 Posted March 19, 2013 Damn, that's such a good news. Anyone knows what's going on with Tsukasa, Zero and Karyu now because, It'd be really even better if we had Despa reunion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-timecapsule- 1233 Posted March 19, 2013 ^ They joined other bands. Look here. It's very unlikely they'd do a reunion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nekkichi 6043 Posted March 20, 2013 so that basically means his design project never brought major profits & he'll probably do a single revival gig with despa while looking for new band members meanwhile (can't see karyu leaving angelo for flop bands permanent return.) (and no, I still don't believe it was his vocal polyps thing in the first place) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnesh 52 Posted March 20, 2013 He could form a band called Umbrella! Oh, wait... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enyx 903 Posted March 20, 2013 I'm very interested to see what happens here, Hizumi has one of the strongest voices in the Japanese Rock scene IMO. Even if he doesn't have a full band alongside him, I.E. making music along the lines of Screen (single version) and Yami ni Furu Kiseki (Classical White version), I'd be happy.

arya92 272 Posted March 20, 2013 If Desupa will be reformed again, i couldn't be happier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LIDL 692 Posted March 20, 2013 Pull Karyu and co from that flop band 4ns or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do you explain him sounding like shit on Monsters? I love the man but dear god he sounded awful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
