After 10 years, 和楽器バンド (Wagakki Band) will suspend activities indefinitely on 12/31 (at the end of 2024).
Well there goes an interesting band…
I hope everyone begins new projects after hiatus, so much talent in one band. It’s a shame to see they go
yeah, they said the members will still be active in music
This is very unfortunate. Rip
Hugeeeeee blow. They will be super missed
