chariotsの発表について俺からも書かせて頂きます。

chariotsはPhantasmagoriaの活動終了後すぐに戮を
 中心に俺が集めたバンドであったんだけどメンバーみんなと音楽性や方向性
 について深く話す事はないまま活動を開始し、「アグレッシブアート」とい
 うバンドの掲げたコンセプトの中でメンバーそれぞれのやりたい事をやりた
 い様にやらせ、バランスをとりつつリリースや展開を考えて来たつもりでは
 ありました。

しかし3部作シングルのレコーディングを終えた彼らと2010年の活動に
 ついてミーティングしていく中、修復は不可能な位の大きいズレを感じ四人
 の「脱退」という形になりました。
事務所的、プロデューサーの立場から言わせてもらうとまだまだレーベルを
 ひっぱり続けて頑張って欲しいんだけど、無理をさせて続けさせる事がアー
 ティストにとって良く無いと判断しこの結果を受け止める事を決めました。

2010年2月の全国ツアーが現編成でのラストツアーになります。
戮、秋都、知、絽希、零也、、、この「五人」でのchariotsを最後
 まで応援してあげて下さい。

今は主催イベントツアーしか発表になってないですがライブハウスと交渉し
 ワンマン公演も検討しています。

よろしくお願いします。

got infomation off this site.... http://shattered-tranquility.net/

chariots have announced that after their live on February 27th, Akito, Tomo, Loki and Reiya will be leaving the band. Each of the members have posted comments on the OHP regarding the decision:


In chariots, I have been able to express the things that I’ve wanted to. However, for a short time now, we’ve been looking at the five of us continuing activities, and our opinions on the direction of our music and activities has become scattered. This is the conclusion that the five of us came to, against our will, and it seems like this is the right way for the band to continue. More over, the result came from numerous meetings, and has taken this sort of form. I sincerely apologize for how it has turned out.

As far as my personal vision goes, I can clearly see the things that I want to do from here on in, so although it may be difficult, I will continue on with this realization. I haven’t completely thought about the future of the band from hereon in, but Akito, Tomo, Loki and Reiya are all planning on leaving chariots.

Both myself and the four members have been eagerly living out our experiences through chariots’ activities, and it’s now time for us to advance down new paths. Originally we announced our February sponsored event tour, as well as a tour for our upcoming release, however, due to the current state of affairs which I feel may be selfish, we have changed it to the last live tour with the current line-up.

To all of you who have cheered us on, to the staff who started KISAKI’s office, to all those connected with the livehouses, everyone who collaborated with us in our events, I apologize for our decision and for the trouble. However, until the end, the five of us will try with all our might to express ‘chariots’, so please support us.

Time has really flown, but it’s already been two years since chariots started. We’ve passed into a time where the subject matter is very deep, however, for about a year now, I’ve been starting to wonder if me being in this band has any significance, and that the songs I write, don’t suit the band. Therefore, I’ve been doing activities fully aware that I had this feeling of insecurity about being in the band. I felt that there was no way that I could convey these feelings to everyone who has been cheering me on, but I confronted the members and KISAKI with my feelings.
As time has passed, we’ve lost sight of the direction we wanted to take and things have become vague within our songs, and also the goals that the members have started to feel different.
I have some regrets, but to have been able to meet the other for members, and more than anything to be able to meet with the fans that have been cheering us on, is the most amazing thing, and something that I’ll always remember.
The same time that chariots comes to an end, I will also be saying farewell to the name ‘Akito’, as I am starting fresh, want to progress down a new path and I want to meet new challenges.

For the remaining lives, one by one, I want the best memories to remain, and ot have the best lives with the other members.
To all of you who have been supporting me, I am truly sorry for always taking and never giving anything in return.
Some day, I want to pay you back by putting my feelings into a song.
I truly thank you.
I also am grateful for all of the amazing memories.

Akito


Everyone, I have something that I need to tell you.
In February, after our last tour, I will be leaving chariots.
The reason is that between the five of us that are in the band, we are unable to come to an agreement on the direction of the band.
Each of us took time to think about the shape of chariots, and we came to the decision that it would be best for us to each progress down different roads, an
