Last night, on December 8th Himeichigo held their last live as a band at the live house 'Daikanyama Unit' in Tokyo. The band of five with their origins in Sapporo, Hokkaido had been playing together for the past five years and decided to quit their activities to pursue their individual futures from now on.
They played a full length concert in their usual style and the fans seemed to put just as much effort in their being as fans, as the band gave it's very best to have everyone enjoy the show fully.
However, during the second encore the band members took turns to express their feelings about their break up.
Ruka "Actually, I am only realizing bit by bit that this concert is going to be our last together as Himeichigo. Until now it still feels like we will go back to rehearsing next week just as usual. And don't get this wrong, we are really good friends still!"
Jin "With the music I wrote, the music we wrote as Himeichigo, we created something that's going to last, even if we are not together as a band anymore."
Rena "Even if we are going different directions from now on, it is only a change of 'shape'. We are still their as people!"
Jun "We have discussed this a lot and this decision has been made so we can pursue our own future from now on."
Suzuya "Thank you for all your support. Please look out for us and our next projects and please keep supporting us, with whatever we do in the future."
All tickets had been soled out and the hall was packed with fans, but also with members of other bands, like Kouki from D=OUT or Yasuno and Keiyuu from Kra who showed their respect by attending this final performance of Himeichigo.
With a touching show, the band said their farewell to their fans and ended the night with lots of tears, but also with hopes for yet more to come from the individual band members. It has already been announced, that vocal Suzuya, and both guitarists Jun and Rena will be starting a new project together in 2010.
There are quite a few bands who's members follow different paths by now.
