Beautyfool Days~

So I feel like in light of recent news, a blog post is mandatory.

The news is SuG's hiatus and leaving PSC. Yes, really, I am going to talk about it. And yes, really, I am sad about it. Of course I am. SuG is one of my absolute favourite bands, I wouldn't be who I am now if it weren't for them. Plus, the news was so sudden and out of the blue. So please, allow me my right to be a little upset about it. Imagine if your favourite band suddenly announced that they were going on hiatus. While you know it's not a disbandment, it still hurts. Even though they promise to return, it still leaves you feeling uncertain. Especially when they put the word 'indefinite' before it. I honestly never expected it from SuG. Never. I would have been less surprised if they had announced a disbandment, to be honest. I would be even more distraught, but it's something that I know a lot of SuG fans have been worrying about. Although, I didn't really, and still don't think that they'll disband any time soon. But a hiatus is something I really never expected them to pull. From the translations of the blog posts and the notice on the HP, Takeru believes that if SuG continues the way they are now then they would be betraying themselves and the fans. My interpretation is that means that they no longer felt like they were being true to themselves in what they were producing. Which is fair enough. If the band feels that what they are doing isn't what they want anymore, then they should do whatever they need to put themselves in a better place. When I first read the news I had just been woken up at 7am, after six hours sleep, so it probably seemed a lot worse to me than it was. I was in shock. I did actually cry. That could have just been the lack of sleep playing it's part though... Now that I've had more time to think about it, and read more on the subject, I'm starting to feel much more positive about it. Of course, there's still uncertainty and sadness, but I believe we should look at it as a good thing. SuG are standing up for themselves against PSC. Maybe, and this is just my thoughts, PSC were holding SuG back, and not allowing them to do what they wanted to their fullest extent. And I can see where SuG are coming from. I can't actually explain my thoughts and feelings anymore than this. I can't seem to find the right words.

But I do know, that no matter what, I will wait for SuG. I will ALWAYS support them, with my whole heart and soul. While I don't exactly 100% trust Takeru to not go off and do his own thing, I know that SuG is the most important thing to him. It is also clearly very important to the rest of the members. It seems the desicion wasn't exactly easy on them. My heart broke when I read the translation of Shinpei's comment! So I believe that they will keep their promise to us, and come back alive and kicking. I really hope that the new SuG will actually be more like the old SuG. It seems Takeru wants to get back in touch with their whole thing of 'Heavy Positive Rock'. Which I take as a good sign! So let's support the boys, and wait patiently for their return, for even more crazy, fun, imperfect beautyfool days!

Sorry, this entire post is more just a way for me to try and sort out my feelings towards the whole thing. It worked too, so I regret nothing. My head is in a better space about it all now. ^^

So this morning I woke up to the news that SPIV STATES, one of my favourite bands (if can you call it that? It's just one guy...) is going on hiatus. Jun, vocalist and guitarist, and only member, said he was going to give SPIV STATES a break. He said that he wants to go back to being just a guitarist, as thats how he started out.
At the moment, I'm a little confused as to how I feel. Of course, I support him no matter what direction he choses. Apparently he already has new projects lined up, and I'm so stoked and excited to see what he brings us next. But I'm going to miss his voice. It was really comforting. Maybe one day he'll go back to SPIV STATES, but either way, I respect his decision and will stand by him, always.
I'm just glad its not a retirement. Thats what I was the most afraid of reading when I saw that there was an important announcement. So long as Jun keeps creating music, and is happy doing it, then I'm happy, and will stick with him.

Bring on the next chapter in Jun's colourful, musical, fun-filled story! ♥
