The word is out: Tokyo Jihen have disbanded.
Through a series of messages from every member, posted on Kronekodow and the official band page, Tokyo Jihen announced the end of this Phase and also the band itself.
It is truly a sad day for every fan, including myself.
I can only find hope in believing that Shiina Ringo will not stop being a musician and continue her solo career.
But I'm not here to express my feelings on this matter, I have done it in other places.

They will also participate in the January 20th episode of Music Station. A chance to promote color bars and talk about the disbanding, I'm sure. Hopefully also about the future.
