"Thank you for your continued support of D'espairsRay.

 

Due to Hizumi's throat troubles, we had decided to take a hiatus immediately following our show at Yokohama Blitz on 30 Dec. 2010. However, after further discussions amongst the four members, we have decided to disband as of 15 June 2011 and cease all activities under the name D'espairsRay.

 

To our loving fans and supportive staff members, who have followed us diligently from our founding on 9 Sept. 1999 until now, we deeply apologize for such a sudden and troubling announcement.

 

All four members are deeply thankful, from the bottom of our hearts, for your enthusiastic support and encouragement.

Thank you.

I was hoping that this wouldn't happen, but it can't be helped. I hope Hizumi will get well soon though!
I'm really, really happy that I got to see them live once, even though I hate live concerts! :)
