[INFO] VERSAILLES ACTIVITY STOP BY THE END OF 2012

While having caused a great lot of confusion on the morning of July 19th, what had been a rumor and was hoped for as a hacking-attack by fans, has turned to be truth.

Versailles have officially announced their break-up on the official homepage.
The band has decided to no longer be active as Versailles due to uncertain directions in their doing and to find closure of their 5th anniversary year.

While they do not use the word “disbanding” there is no limitation to the period of their activity stop. The following message for oversea fans has been released as well:

An Important Announcement From Versailles:

Dear Enduring, Loyal Supporters,
We would like to announce that Versailles has decided to stop all activities by the closing of the year.
Being our 5th anniversary — and without a clear direction heading into the future – we have decided it was in the best interest of the band and the music, our staff and supporters, in order to pursue our artistic and personal goals outside the current framework, to stop all our activities by the end of 2012.

Since the beginning the “ROSE” has played a central role, both thematically and symbolically, for Versailles. The “ROSE”, which is also the title song of their 5th anniversary single, is about birth, becoming and being – in short, their story to the world.

The band will release their farewell album September 26th and tour domestically soon afterwards. On December 20th, Versailles will have their grand finale which be performed at NHK Hall in Tokyo.

Please come and show your support to Versailles and their final journey.
