The matter of SKULL breaking up

On the SKULL official homepage and blogs, there is an announcement that
on the 26th of March 2011, SKULL will pause all activities and disband

This pushy, sudden notice is a hard thing to bear. For that I'm truly sorry.

From all the fans, I received a number of different opinions, however; I
hope you can accept the truth about SKULL's breakup.

There was definitely no discord between SKULL members among other things.

Saying that we are going in different directions seems fake. We didn't want
that to be the reason

No-one is in doubt,
The five of us considered it again and again

The answer revealed itself...

"From now on we should breakup"

...I just want you to know, I'm truly glad I came to this band.

SKULL's members, the people who supported SKULL not only in the band...

"From the beginning to the end"

"From the end to the beginning"

SKULL's activities will continue for about 4 months. The five of us will
continue our efforts unchanged. That you would support SKULL until the end,
is my selfish wish.

When the live comes, I don't want to see everyone's sad face
After this, please come to the live and enjoy yourself to the fullest!

I've gone and said two selfish things...

These words are not enough, perhaps but this is my message to everyone.

Thanks for reading till the end.

DIE

First of all, I'm truly sorry for this sudden information.

When I think of all those who supported us, this seems like a joke

That's what I think...

However, the entire time we discussed the reason together and the honest
answer came.

In all honesty, when we decided, I felt pretty negative. I didn't want to
play the live and how could I write anything positive on the blog?

Until now, it was fine doing the live spontaneously . But now, I want to
do the live better and better, one by one until the last

I'll enjoy myself until the last moment

To be honest, even though we came to a solution, I don't think that everyone
has easily accepted this.

However, I won't be negative. From now, I want to hit a really hot live
with everyone
I want to have fun

Please lend me your strength

If there is a beginning then there is an end
But also the end is because there was a beginning


They say "Nothing lasts forever", but I want to believe
that the music we make and the words and the many memories and voices received
from everyone at the live...

....without a doubt is eternal

We really are touched, by those who came to our lives even one time and
of course, those who would always come. The band, people concerned and I
give an expression of love through our instruments. Members, friends

We are thankful to have met all of you

Before this, I got really warm words from Ryoumoto-san who is in charge
of us

I'm really grateful for the miracle of us meeting

Would it have been possible otherwise?

I hope everyone will continue to get along with each other? You guys will
always get along right?

Because we're all friends.
Until the end we're all one.

I believe I'll make it through

Even if it was said to something negative, I maintained my policy

How many times have I stopped to apologize in a livehouse for reckless behaviour?
It is the way I express myself

I may have indulged in compliments and pampering, even though I thought
I would be different

I did various things because I felt it was "rock"

But we are a rock band

And you guys are rock band fans

Till the end, let's have a fun live

I'm proud

And I believe in everyone

We're all proud of you

Really, I'm going to cry

In short, it seems like we've fallen and reached the end huh?

With whatever time is left, because we are the still the same as ever and
seriously ready to perform
You guys need to be seriously ready to come

Lend us your voices and scream with all your might and let's become one.

Sorry for the sudden announcement

I read everyone's message clearly

My chest is in so much pain

I'm confused by the sudden message. Even though it has alot of support,
I think I am of the opposing position.

Still, I feel alot of love.

And because I love SKULL I'm saying that I think this is ridiculous.

Last absolutely continue together, remaining together continue, I'm saying
I'm truly thankful

I want you to understand that there was no discord, because everyone in
SKULL are good friends.

Everyone would always talk together and support each other, the five of
us have really deep strong bonds. How can there be any discord?!

The title of our One-man in Japan is

THE BEGINNING OF DOOM AND DECAY
-But my glitter does not wither-

It means that even though we've come a long way "We're going towards the
end but our light will never fade"

I was told by the manager to specifically emphasize these words (laugh)

Of course "Our light will never fade" includes everyone.

Often the management and staff tells customers that "SKULL is really cool!".

I honestly think so too.

Precisely because everyone is here the lives are like that.

Wherever they are from, we're proud of our cool customers.

That's why until the last moment, everyone enjoy yourself with all your
energy and become one.

I want to make you guys believe that SKULL is definitely a great live band.

Crying together is fine, screaming and bawling together is fine, laughing
and smiling together is fine.
You're free to do what you like in the live cause those feelings will hit
us.

We will also go seriously until the end.

That's why definitely keep shining

Until the end SKULL will continue to plunge forward

THE BEGINNING OF DOOM AND DECAY
-But my glitter does not wither-

I wrote this shitty, awkward sentence so it's probably not skillfully communicated
but I'm happy if you understand it even a little.

Thank you for reading it

In addition to the live schedule that has been announced, we expect that
there would be an increase in the number of lives. Therefore I will do an
announcement soon.

My update is late

I wonder what I should talk about?

I'm sure people have seen the homepage and the blogs and were very surprised.


Sorry for surprising you

Thanks to the members that updated during the time that I didn't update.

The band members seriously discussed this together and when we first decided
this, honestly, my mind went blank and I couldn't connect to anything

It was really difficult, I became an empty shell

In spite of this up till now various things have happened

To put everything in order seems almost impossible

We felt that we wanted to continue as SKULL but it wasn't that simple to
do

Therefore we were very troubled and after alot of thinking we made a decision

However out of the five people, I decided to properly explain until you
understand.

Although you may think it's selfish, or that I'm screwing with you or that
you can't understand, because I love SKULL I can say these words:

I'm happy, Thank you

However I'll take a little time to properly explain, I hope you can understand

This is how I feel now

Somehow it's unbearable cute and I can't help but cry as I'm saying this,
I want to wipe my tears.

We haven't changed, as always the members are on incredibly good terms

Up till now, in the time we've spent together; even though I feel we may
have made some mistakes. Because we worked with all our energy and did our
best, I do not regret it.

Somehow, I don't want to say that we're "disappearing" because it's too
sad.
Because we will remain

I love SKULL and I believe that that feeling will never change

All the people that have been supporting SKULL up till now, all the people
I've met and the members.

I feel proud.

SKULL's last live will be next year on the 26th of March 2011

However what's most important is that even though we have limited time,
I believe that we'll have fun as always.

Because it's a fact that we're the best when we're all together

Let me hear your voices

Follow us until the bitter end

That's what I feel with all my might but I wonder if I conveyed it properly?

I worry that I'm a poor speaker

So thank you for reading this far.

Sorry for the late update

I apologize for the sudden announcement of disbanding

To those who were rooting for me, I'm so sorry

Already little more than two years have passed since my first live. It's
been long but short.

It was difficult to do but so much more fun

Being SKULL's bassist was really great. I feel proud.

Disbanding is sad but all the members are looking forward to taking a new
step

SKULL has about 4 months remaining but with the time we have left we'll
continue to play

I still have alot to write however I don't want it to seem like I wrote
a book when I'm done.

So then, I can't wait to see everyone at the live! Keep smiling!
