I really wish that Ikimonobakari came with all PV's for the song. I badly want the Nostalgia PV (It has Naka Riisa in it, who's my favourite Japanese actress), and the Kaze to Mirai PV looks really cute! I loled when the kid's like "Screw the instructions!!"

I just wish it had Hotaru no Hikari. That's like one of my favourite songs by them ever. If it were also on the album, it'd have ALL the songs I want. Now I have to buy the album and one seperate single : / (Nope, not going to buy all their albums. I already like too many artists XD)

And, just to catch you guys up, ikimono-bakari was #1 in the weekly album charts for their first two weeks, and they're already #2 in the 2010 album charts behind Arashi! Ikimono-gakari sure is really popular!

He just means that ikimonogakari beat Nishino Kana's To Love album on the yearly ranking : P

Well, this is a best album, and sells more than original studio albums.
congratz ikimono

Ikimono Gakari to take a break in 2011

Ikimono Gakari vocalist Kiyoe Yoshioka (26) announced on Wednesday night that her weekly radio show "Ikimono Gakari Yoshioka Kiyoe no All Night Nippon" will be ending with its December 21 broadcast. More importantly, she apparently confirmed that the band will be taking a break from performances during the first half of 2011.

A rumor was published in newspapaers last month that the band would be going on hiatus for the first half of 2011, but the band and their record label issued public denials at the time. The band's leader, Yoshiki Mizuno, previously said that the members had discussed focusing on writing new songs, but that they would continue with their live activities.

It is now being reported that Ikimono Gakari will indeed be focusing on writing, but will not be doing any concerts or live performances. The length of the "hiatus" has not been decided, but a source says that it will be half a year at most, and that the band will fully resume activities by July. Their performance at Kohaku Uta Gassen on December 31 has been declared as their "last" for now.

The timing of the decision seems odd, given that they are currently at their peak with their recent best album "Ikimono Bakari ~Members BEST Selection~" getting certified by the RIAJ as reaching 1 million copies shipped. However, Yoshioka said, "We've run too far so we would like to take a rest. Please forgive our selfishness."

Ikimono Gakari has three more concerts left in their current tour, beginning with one on Thursday. It is expected that they may deliver more details to their fans at those shows.

really wasn't expecting this.

although they were pretty active ever since 2008. but hopefully they really will be back by july, lol.

^ Kinda sad but it's not like they're pulling an Utada on us lol

adantatu2 · #**473** 9th December 2010, 03:23 AM

it's ok, all the artists need a break someday, and it's just for 6 months

NintendoHTF1242 · #**474** 9th December 2010, 03:27 AM

They deserve it.

Bigtop · #**475** 9th December 2010, 03:46 AM

They deserve a rest actually. They've been working non-stop like Ayu! (We wished if Ayu did the same thing as ikimono-gakari is about to do - take a break...)

Okay, so last year we lost Ayaka, now this year we are about to lose Utada, and even ikimono-gakari...any other artists who announced hiatus or retirement earlier this year?
