To all of you who have always supported Belle
In March 2020, with the start of the new organization, the Corona Disaster began,
and while accepting change and seeking ways to grow the band,
differences emerged in the vision of the future that each of us had for the band,
As a result of repeated discussions
it has been decided that the band will disband after the LAST ONEMAN TOUR FINAL “Zansho no Epilogue” performance on October 29, 2023 (Sun.) at Shibuya WWW X.

We are sorry to have to make this announcement so suddenly.
We would like to express our deepest apologies to all the fans who have been supporting us and to all the people who have been involved with us.

We are currently planning to hold a fan trip in June, which was cancelled due to the Corona disaster,
and to release our first full-length album in July, which will be distributed nationwide.
We are currently working on various projects to maximize the time you spend with the band members.
Although there is only half a year left until the LAST ONEMAN TOUR “Zansho no Epilogue”,
we will do our best to share the precious time with our fans by ringing the bells together until the last note.

Haro, Rumina, Taizo, Akiya, Masato

That’s too bad but they had a good run I guess

Nuuuuuu. I guess it makes sense. Can’t do jazz kei forever. Just hoped they would have just did it in their 10th anniversary in 2024. :sob:

Right? In terms of sound they had their own niche carved out and I hate to see them go. At least they left us with a fantastic discography.
