JukaForever 758 Posted January 14, 2016 From a tumblr post: http://fuckyeahscandalband.tumblr.com/post/136929490328/flip-to-end-all-activities-this-morning-9th FLiP To End All Activities This morning (9th Jan), all-girl band, FLiP has announced the end for all their band activities. The band had just welcomed their 10th Anniversary since formation on 6th October last year. The band has cited that they’ve arrived at this decision after much deliberation, as they’ve noticed that their fuel necessary for moving towards the “future” is depleting. They will end their activities on 5th March 2016, with a final live titled『WonderLand』, to be held at Tokyo’s TSUTAYA O-West. SCANDAL and FLiP are bands that share a good relationship with each other, and are also personal friends. FliP has also previously played alongside SCANDAL at SCANDAL’s Band Yarou Yo!! event. Last year, SCANDAL have also left messages to congratulate FLiP on their 10th anniversary (here). Official announcement on FLiP’s website HERE.

SwampMan 222 Posted January 14, 2016 They are disbanding or going on hiatus? Tokyohive reported the latter, really hope it's not the end for this band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gnk777 2526 Posted January 14, 2016 They are disbanding or going on hiatus? Tokyohive reported the latter, really hope it's not the end for this band. Hiatus From OHP "「FLiPから大切なお知らせ」 私たち、FLiPは2016年3月5日(土) TSUTAYA O-Westでのワンマンライヴを持ちまして、活動休止する事になりました。 昨年はバンド結成10周年という節目を迎え、これまで出逢ってきた皆様、応援してくれた皆様、支えてくれた皆様への感謝と共に”新しい自分たち”を探し続け、音を鳴らし続けた1年間でした。 しかし、その日々の中でFLiPという4人の集合体としての”未来”を生み出す為の燃料が底をつき始めている事に気付き、メンバーで何度も話し合った結果、今回このような決断となりました。 年が明けて早々に、決して良い結果とは言えない、また大変急なご報告となってしまったことを深くお詫びさせて下さい。 活動休止後はそれぞれの道を進み、また新たな人生の発見と経験を積み重ねていきます。それについては別の機会に各メンバーから改めてご報告させて下さい。 今は残りのFLiPとしての日々を全力で音楽にして届けたいと思っています。 3月5日(土) TSUTAYA O-Westでの活動休止前最後のワンマンライブには『WonderLand』というタイトルをつけました。その名に恥じない”素晴らしい景色”をお届け致しますので、皆様ぜひ会いに来てください。 Sachiko Yuko Sayaka Yuumi" 1 SwampMan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
