Message about their Disbandment

Soroban will disband with the live on August 2nd

As we came into this year, there became a rift between the four in the music type and the things they wanted to express
And it became difficult to continue working together,
So Soroban will be disbanding with in August 2nd.
Thank you to the fans and the people involved with the work, who have supported us for about 2 years now

Below are comments from the members

We were formed in April of 2004 and went until July of 2006…Just about 2 years and 3 months…
This was the most packed amount of months I have had in my whole life.
I think the only way we were able to make "Soroban" was because of these members.
As we went into this year, the individual opinions started to clash, and
The feeling that we didn’t want to continue "Soroban" with a half-hearted feeling! Became greater and in the end it became a disbanding announcement on the internet.
I am very sorry to have caused such a sad feeling to the people who have supported "Soroban" up until now.

The live on August 2nd will be "the last performance for Soroban", but we will work hard will all our might, all our might, so I will make a live with the members that will be unforgettable for everyone and the members and the one and only greatest live in my whole life.
Thank you very much for warmly looking over Soroban, giving warm cheers, and giving warm messages to us for about 2 years now.

I hope to see wonderful smiles on our last live (*^_^*)㈱
I am very glad to have met up with a band called "Soroban"
I’m sure that everyone will meet up with all kinds of things in the future and meet up with many hard times, but if you think "I will not be beaten", then you will be fine!
Even if no one does, I will definitely keep thinking that.
"I will not be beaten".

August 2nd…Let’s have the best live up until now, the "last live" (*^_^*)㈱
Really, to those fans who have supported "Soroban" up until now, the company people, senpais, everyone involved, and those people who have given Soroban all kinds of things…

Thank you so much.

After starting this band with the four of us, it has been about 2 years and little bit.

We have come to the time where the 4 of us who have always been together must start walking our own paths.
It’s not that we’re fighting or we hate each other.

Soroban is my best friend in my whole life. It is my pride.

Please don’t be sad.
Everyone will come back.

It’s just that we’re going to take a break.

Everyone who loved Soroban,
All the people who worked for us in the company,
And our senpais and other band-men who were so kind to us.
Thank you all so much for these past 2 years and 3 months.

The last is the live on August 2nd.

"Now, Soroban’s performance will begin."

The last announcement.

We want to make it hot,

And be able to laugh with everyone.

It became this sudden kind of announcement, but
Soroban is going to disband on August 2nd.
We are really filled with feelings of apologies to all the fans.
The activities that Soroban has been doing for about 2 years and 3 months now
Is really a treasure to me.
I really love Soroban.
I really love Soroban songs.
I really love everyone.
So…I can’t say it very well, but
Please never forget Soroban,
And keep loving Soroban.
Everyone who has supported us,
And everyone in the company who have worked for us up until now,
Thank you all so, so much.

I love everyone so much.

It is true that after coming into this year, days where we were worried, because of our differing ways of thinking and the things we wanted to do, started to increase.
There were many moments where I thought I wanted to quit this band.
However, it is also definitely true that it was very fun, being one of the Soroban members.
All the people who have helped Soroban,
And all the fans who have supported us,
Thank you all very much for everything up until now.
