A sudden announcement was made by MeteoroiD. The band will cease all activities after their one-man live taking place at Shibuya REX on February 11 of the coming year. Due to the disbandment, the recently announced mini-album 83 and promotional tour will be canceled.
The members came to the following conclusion to find the reason behind their decision:
The balance that we had perfectly preserved began to crumble, and we decided that we wanted to end with MeteoroiD shining the brightest at this moment.
As mentioned above, their previously announced mini-album 83 will remain unreleased, and its commemorative release tour has been canceled. On this matter, the members have decided to proceed this way because they feel that MeteoroiD must end the day they were born.
The band wants to apologize for this sad announcement and thank all their fans and staff who supported them from the beginning of their activities. Please keep supporting the members, they will give their best until the end.
Find the member’s official messages below:
Vocalist Genki:
On 2/11/17, MeteoroiD will disband.
Upon speaking with all of the band members, we were unable to find a solution aside from disbandment.
The staff, even those that could support us only 1%, gave their all until the bitter end, but even so it’s come to this announcement.
I knew from the beginning that “one day it will end” but now that it’s come it’s still no good.
It’s true that I still can’t find an answer to what words would be good to write.
Regarding everything after 2/11, we determined that that day would be MeteoroiD’s limit and so we decided to cancel everything after.
I am really sorry…that is the limit of the 5 of us
To everyone who loved MeteoroiD (METEOROID)! Thank you so much.
In order to tell each one of you thanks, I will sing with all of my heart until the very end.
On 2/11/17, I will commit lovers suicide with my beloved MeteoroiD (METEOROID).
Guitarist Mikado:
I’m sorry for making an announcement like this.
After having this discussion, it makes my chest tighten when I read the letters and fanmail from everyone.
But, I don’t have any regrets and this was a unanimous decision that was made in order for us to all move forward.
Unfortunately this is how things have turned out, but in the future I want to remain in the same place as all of you because you’ve become so important to me, but first I want to rush forward to 2/11 with all of my being.
Thank you so much for everything up until now.
Guitarist Machi:
With that announcement, my activities as “MeteoroiD’s Machi” will cease.
From the beginning and until now, lots of different things have happened within MeteoroiD
including members leaving and new members coming in, but throughout it all, you have loved us unconditionally and I thank you so much for that.
Those times you made me feel needed and gave me a place to belong, and the times I needed you and gave you a place to belong may be over as far as MeteoroiD is concerned, but they will be a part of me forever.
Despite lies and betrayals, no matter what happens, each and every one of you are here for me right now.
Without changing, let’s meet head-on with no regrets in the remaining time we have.
As “MeteoroiD’s Machi” I will continue to provide a place where everyone can feel they can belong until the final day.
Bassist raL:
First, I’m sorry to surprise you with this abrupt announcement. We are superior, and so in order to be able to move forward, we made the decision to disband.
Many things have happened since the band began and up until now, but in those times we’ve been able to overcome them together. Everything is an important treasure.
I believe from the bottom of my heart that we’ve been able to come this far because of our staff and the help of everyone who’s supported us. I really want to thank you all.
Although MeteoroiD’s activities and live shows have become few, I want to be with all of you.
Please look forward to MeteoroiD and MeteoroiD’s raL until the very end.
Drummer Tomoya:
I’m really sorry for announcing so suddenly.
We were a band where we diligently worked to reach one objective, and had mutual enjoyment doing it together.
While it would have been good if we experienced the same enjoyment from everyone from now on, in order to pursue everyone’s goals we’ll continue to step forward but for right now we’ve taken the time to decide what’s really the right thing to do.
We want to conclude by showing you the MeteoroiD that’s no less than the MeteoroiD now.
For this reason, I’ve arrived at the conclusion that the current MeteoroiD can no longer be in the pursuit of this hindered dream.
For this reason, our last duty as MeteoroiD will be to be the current best MeteoroiD that’s able to reach you all.
We also always thought how to become a place where everyone could belong. I will not forget our work and activities up to this point.
I’d be very happy if we could continue to live on in everyone’s hearts.
This band was also a place where I could belong, so I want for MeteoroiD to live on in everyone’s heart’s, together.
We also received many precious experiences. We were able to spend the best time together with you all.
There’s only a little time until 2/11, but we’ll continue on as MeteoroiD full force until the end.
Thank you.
