nitta 175 Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) As the title says, they announced it on their website along with details on their twitter account. https://twitter.com/JDA_FC I'm really sad. Edited April 1, 2019 by nitta 1 Nighttime Jae reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redaudrey 70 Posted April 1, 2019 even though they've been on hiatus the entire time i've been a fan, i held onto the dream that they'd get back together for all that time and i was always waiting for it....i dont think i could be more devastated right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nick 10212 Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) I hope this is just an April Fool's joke and they come up with a reunion in 12 years later. Edited April 1, 2019 by nostalgia 1 Ruri reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Piass 3472 Posted April 1, 2019 As it is said, they disbanded because their bassist ka-yu left the band on 2019.03.31. http://www.janne.co.jp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zombieparadise 487 Posted April 1, 2019 Well, at least it brings some closure. They were so good 😧 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nitta 175 Posted April 1, 2019 They really were. I like the fact that they're actually trending on twitter right now worldwide. I think they were very much loved by Japanese fans. 1 zombieparadise reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what, but the closest thing i’ve seen from translations is “something heinous”. 1 Ruri reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SakuraFox512 99 Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) I only did a cursory glance, since it's unfortunately all the more I have time for right now, but that message on their home page brings up so many questions for me. Hoping to sit down and take the whole thing in later. Also, I think a couple people in here suggested that this could maybe be an April Fool's joke, but if by some stretch it is, then the members have certainly burned a ton of good will from fans for the sake of a tone-deaf joke based on the frequency I see comments like this floating around: 「ていうかメンバーからの言葉はひとつもないのか?それも有り得ないんだけど。私の友達 20年もJanneが好きで学生の頃から時間もお金も心も全部つぎ込んでたんさ。それをこんな雑な最後で踏みにじるとか許せない。どんな気持ちで待ってたか分かります?」 Edited April 1, 2019 by SakuraFox512 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrenGun 2261 Posted April 1, 2019 Well last year ka-yu best album was suddenly canceled. and now they say he kinda did quit the band because someone blames him of doing something? =_= scandal.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chemicalpictures 1888 Posted April 1, 2019 If you ask me this looks a whole lot like ka-yu wanted a definition on reforming or new concerts or something like that and the other guys were like "eeeeeh, I dunno, not now I'm still rich", and he got pissed off and left the band In any case, this sucks. They were my first real addiction in VK, my first real "disbandment" heartbreak since I started hardcore listening to japanese music almost 18 years ago. Gaia blew my mind in such a way I'll never forget. still, we are Janne! 4 Nighttime Jae, nick, r... and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiyoharu is God 283 Posted April 1, 2019 That's some weird fucking timing because it's April Fools and I thought they officially disbanded 13 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he wasn't really interested in music that much lately anyway. Also none of the members are doing anything except for support work. I think that it is really the best decision right now.

daintypersnicketydingo 38 Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Wow, I haven't head from them in so long I'm also one of the people who just assumed they disbanded years ago as well. Still, sad to hear and I can't imagine it being just a sadly tasteless joke. Edited April 1, 2019 by daintypersnicketydingo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hell2U 6 Posted April 1, 2019 Truthfully I thought they had already disbanded and haven't listened to them for years now but it's still sad. They were one of the first Japanese bands I remember listening to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
