Ada Suilen 652 Posted May 10, 2017 Ok their music became quite generic in recent times... but... this is so bad! I hope that they will come back with more energetic ideas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kiryu999 3336 Posted May 10, 2017 A bit disappointed but not surprised, there were clearly no chemistry between them for months. Didn't like pretty much any of their releases since Eiki (except Uka which was pretty good). I hope they can comeback stronger or disband and move on to something else.

tenshibara 7 Posted May 10, 2017 Lol they'd better come back. I heard somewhere that it would be some time next year but I'm not sure. I hope so, I want to see them live when I go on holiday after I'm done with school. It better not be another Malice Mizer type hiatus, I'll die lmao oh well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tetsu_sama69 1119 Posted May 10, 2017 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. 5 Serox, Nyasagi, gekiai and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haido 13 Posted May 10, 2017 2 hours ago, The Piass said: They should have done it a long time ago ! Their first releases were slightly better than what they have been doing for some time... Likewise -- but I think not just "slightly". Last two years I have been waiting (kind of) this to happen. The whole concept Mejibray used to have in them has been missing for about 2 last years in my opinion. Hopefully they're able to arrange their things up in a way or another. But I'm not surprised if they end up for disbanding though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emmny 4139 Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) i hope they never fucking come back! good riddance mejibray have long ran their course, there's nothing they can release that will ever be good again bc they've literally done all possible variations on "mejibray" koichi needs to front an oshare band signed on resistar that will shit all over buglug...spiv states style mia needs to join a power metal/jupiter core band that will use his talents and actually challenge him instead of letting him continue to plateau meto can become a fulltime harajuku fashion icon bc hes not that good gorl tsuzuku needs a sukekiyo or dir en grey tier experimental metal project to DESTROY all remnants of visual kei with his perfection CATCH THE MF TEA ON THAT . i have actual faith in koichi-core like i KNOW he will summon up ex-DIV, souiumono, kameleo, smileberry, the kiddie, ViViD and destroy the world with KAWAII Edited May 10, 2017 by emmny 12 itsukoii, sakuran, zaa_zaa and 9 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeus 7997 Posted May 10, 2017 The thing about a hiatus is that it signifies more than wanting to take a break. Visual kei is an exception, but when bands want to take breaks they typically...don't record music. MEJIBRAY have done their fair share of that the last few months, and visual kei bands are always looking to their future activities, so I'm wondering if this pause is them deciding if they really want to disband or not. I wouldn't be surprised if they announce a return just to break up formally. I'm not sad to see them go, as I was over their style a while ago. Still, a pillar of the neo-vk scene is crumbling this is really big. 5 itsukoii, raphael, platy and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sakuran 1216 Posted May 10, 2017 Well, to sound like a broken record - I'm not at all surprised; and they needed this. That's not to say I'm happy, necessarily. Mejibray were a big part of why I got heavily invested in vk again after a few years of mostly apathy, so they'll always be important to me for that. And my interest in their later releases seems to have lasted longer than most people's, since I personally liked Venoms.app and the singles leading up to it, although they started losing me after that. In any case, I hope the guys find projects they can actually enjoy. Mejibray's music was sounding rather bland at this point, and there's no point in staying together if there's no inspiration for it. 2 itsukoii and Seimeisen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suji 8317 Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) well, Mejibray's Youtube channel being converted to "FORUM OFFICIAL" all of a sudden was definitely foreshadowing after all... Edited May 10, 2017 by sheepprincessgara 1 akiko reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seimeisen 4406 Posted May 10, 2017 Not too surprising, not too disappointing... I was borderline MEJIBRAY stan between THE THEATRICAL SHOW and VENOMS.app, but after that, they began to lose me. They released waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy too many singles. They'd release maybe 2 albums worth of material each year and I still haven't listened to half of them since 2015. Their last really good song was RenYuS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been waiting koichi-core for a long while now. Seems like he's been increasingly more active with secondary vocals in Mejibray, foreboding his o-share band. I haven't seen Mejibray live yet, which sucks and this hiatus doesn't really help that.. :/ However, I'm sure Mejibray will return - unless some side-project or other life's mystery interrupts them. 1 emmny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zaa_zaa 208 Posted May 10, 2017 It was about time. I am not a big fan of them, used to be until 2013-2014 when they changed so many things. But they are fucking huge for the scene, so it kinda sucks that they go on hiatus. I hope that they will come back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frayed 404 Posted May 11, 2017 I know a lot of people on this forum aren't really big fans of Mejibray. I can understand why someone wouldn't like them, especially since it took me seeing them live to fall for them and I just did that on a whim since they were playing locally. But I did fall. I fell hard, and I've been following them pretty closely since then. I've made a lot of amazing friends and wonderful memories from following Mejibray, and so close after MeteoroiD ended, I haven't really processed how this makes me feel. If it's about just needing a break then of course I'm happy they can take the test they need. I am sort of concerned after the tweet that Koichi deleted after the announcement though. Just more than anything I hope they're all okay and it really is just about needing a break. They deserve that much. I just hope it's what all of them want. I was really hoping the mobile member tour would be before I left Japan, but this really wasn't the way I wanted it to go down. 2 Yukimoto and appl- reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted May 11, 2017 So apparently from what I gathered this was very sudden and so far the hiatus is only till the end of 2017, and then they'll figure out whether they will continue or not?

I believe you are correct, since apparently they still do have lives scheduled and according to a random translation I saw one of them said something to the effect of "please support us while we are still going."
