[Acid Black Cherry] The 4th Thread

[Chibi-Chan]

A friend let me pay with his credit card and somehow magically it worked - despite him and me having a credit card from the same company... Now the mail I recieved says it can take a whole month until I will recieve my member card and member number and so on... lol A little faster would be nice, since I have ti let it ship to Germany from tenso and it has to arrive before I go to Japan at the emd of March. lol

[KarenPang]

Things are strange sometimes . Like my friend who's from China , she tried to create a PayPal account in Japan but her credit card was denied even though it was issued in Japan itself o_O

So yeah I don't get it either :x

It's a good thing you decided to register for ABC's fanclub now , I knew it would take time for your membership to get processed but I didn't expect it's a month , at most I thought probably 2 weeks hmm

By the way , do you know what you will get from ABC's fanclub per year , in terms of magazines & other things ?

[KarenPang]

That's 1 big fear I had when I 1st joined BREAKERZ's fanclub via Celga cos there's the nagging feeling whether or not will Celga was able to handle my fanclub related matters properly

Unfortunately soon after that , my experience with Celga became really awful & luckily I made the switch to use another middleman who's basically a 1 man show but since then he has done a great job handling my BREAKERZ related matters for the past 7 years

Seeing that I have not used Tenso's services , I can't comment so much about this but based on my own middlemen experiences , I feel that only if you know who you're dealing with , they're probably willing to go the extra mile for you if not your relationship with the other party is just only on a business level

If not you're left to fend for yourself which sucks and I'm sorry that I can't help you on this D:

That said since JDA has been on hiatus , I always wonder why ABC cannot have its own standalone fanclub ? It's not that hard you know o_O

[KarenPang]

Saw this on my Twitter feed a few hours ago & my friend wrote that there's an ABC cover band that goes by the name of Mild White Peach o_O

I don't know if it's legit or is it a name my friend came up with lol

[KarenPang]

Finally some ABC related news , Uprise will be accepting orders of last year's Acid Black Cherry 10th Anniversary concert goods from 2nd July to 9th July

[KarenPang]

Yeah I agree , Acid Black Cherry 10th Anniversary concert goods should have been sold last year & not now

Maybe someone in yasu's team was sitting on this idea then suddenly for some miraculous reason decided to do this -_-

[KarenPang]

This Twitter user took these photos inside an Izakaya in Osaka





The shop in question

The white board was signed only 3 days ago so I guess yasu patronised their place

[KarenPang]

The photos were taken in Hirakata which was where yasu was born

Another fan also went to the same Izakaya and enquired about the autographed board

The owner told the fan that yasu was in a good mood when he was inside the Izakaya a few days ago

[KarenPang]

Since you're a fanclub member now , does yasu updates the fanclub blog or something ?

I still think it's odd that Acid Black Cherry has not gotten their own standalone fanclub site where they still has to share the space with Janne Da Arc after so long o_O

If not for yasu's health problems , I'm sure last year he could have put out an epic tour but instead it became rather low key :x

[KarenPang]

My friend posted this on her Twitter

Wow hard to believe it has been almost 6 years since HALLOWEEN JUNKY ORCHESTRA was formed , let alone released HALLOWEEN PARTY :O

夜風の彫刻刀。

外は冷たい夜。
夜風を吸い込んで走る。
暖房で温まったカラダと
重たい殻に包まれていたココロが
夜風の彫刻刀で削られてゆく。
削った先のココロに
何が残るのかは分からないけど
吐く息はちょっと清々しく感じて。

今日は素敵な方の誕生日。
その方にも皆様にも
どうぞ今夜
素敵な夢が訪れますように。

AKIHIDE didn't mentioned yasu by name in the last paragraph of the blog entry but it's quite obvious who he's talking about

Don't think this's an April Fools prank but Janne Da Arc has announced today that they're officially disbanding after the departure of bassist ka-yu

https://twitter.com/TeamABCofficial/...48338032062464

If this's true frankly I'm not surprised . I'm more surprised that it took JDA so long to at last made a proper formal announcement on this

I didn't support JDA but for long time fans , this really sucks without a doubt :s

Janne Da Arc disband on April 1

Janne Da Arc have announced that they have disbanded on April 1.

Since halting their band activities in 2007, the members have continued their musical activities as soloists or in units. When ka-yu expressed his wishes of leaving both the band and their agency Uprise Product, the other members and staff discussed the future of Janne Da Arc. They reached a conclusion that it would be unrealistic to continue Janne Da Arc with four members when they couldn't promise any plans or direction for the band. As such, they have officially announced their disbandment via their website.

They also explained the reason for ka-yu's withdrawal from the band. Last September, Uprise Product received a content-certified mail for ka-yu from a law office. "If everything written in it was true, those actions would be against social justice. As a company, we decided to withhold from projects related to ka-yu when those facts were vague," they stated. They have not revealed the details of this so-called incident as it will be taken to court.

Afterwards, when the agency spoke with ka-yu, he expressed his wishes of proving his innocence so he could devote himself to his musical activities as soon as possible. ka-yu said, "Janne Da Arc is important, and while it cannot be compared, if I had to choose, I found something that's more important to me than Janne Da Arc, so I will leave the band and the agency," which ultimately resulted in his withdrawal and the band's disbandment.

yasu, you, kiyo, and shuji will continue their activities individually.

Don't know if this means that ka-yu has some criminal history , if not why avex chose not to release details on the letter that they received from the law firm ?

yasu has broke his silence on the disbandment of Janne Da Arc

Also since I do not listen to JDA I'm not familiar with the group dynamics between the members

Ex-Janne Da Arc's Yasu Comments on Disbanding and Own Health Condition

Vocalist Yasu made an announcement regarding the disbanding and talked about his own health.

Yasu expresses his gratitude towards the fans that were waiting all these years for a comeback of Janne Da Arc but also stated that only to keep something on hold doesn't mean to protect it - even if you love it that much.

"I think for you all Janne Da Arc was a page of your youth. For me it was all of it." He continues saying that "I couldn't listen to Janne Da Arc until now but isn't it irony that now, after we have disbanded, I can listen to the songs again? It was such a good band."

In summer 2017 Yasu went on indefinite hiatus after suffering from damage of his cervical vertebrae. He left Japan to focus on getting better and says in today's statement that he had two surgeries but doesn't want to get a third one.

"This is a really sad story but I can't speak/sing with the strong voice I had in the past.

I have the feeling that for now I need to get back the body that I had before I started singing. I think it's hard to convey my feelings but it's so painful that I can't sing the songs anymore that I've created." He explains to his fans and asks for their understanding. "Right now I'm a man who can't speak anymore, so for now I want to return to being someone who is able to sing again. Please let me do that in my own pace, step by step."

Poor yasu it's so heartbreaking

[KarenPang]

I hope so too . I had no idea how bad yasu's health is :O

I think fans will not mind to wait as long as possible for yasu to be better . Not sure if he will ever be 100% back to normal but here's hoping for the best
