Shounenki will disband after its live at Takadanobaba AREA on March 28th.
Thinking back the impulses we had in the beginning when we started are still continuing on. That's why I think Shounenki is still running faster and faster.This was something we could do because there were the four of us. Nobody capitulated. Really, with those feelings of youth [= shounen] we took each others hands and kept running for 4 1/2 years.
But there is also this reality where we couldn't make our ideals come true. Facing this reality and thinking about what to do with it was our task.
Maybe we could've continued thinking of it as hobby and fun.
But we wouldn't be able to forgive ourselves doing that.
Because we loved Shounenki so much with this honest feeling
To everyone supporting us,
it would be a lie to say that I'm not sorry but in the end the feeling of gratitude is even stronger. Right away and even now I remember your faces and the world only we could create together.
I didn't believe that this day would come.
After we've decided for our disbanding, I cried again and again all alone.
But I realized that again and again I was saved by everyone's smiles and words.
"I can live all by myself!" That's what I thought when I started singing but before I could realize it, you became my reason to live.
Let this go on until the very end, okay?
Do you know how often you've made me happy?
You are awesome.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
We were shining. I was happy.
I love you.

As stated in our official comment, Shounenki will disband after its oneman live at Takadanobaba AREA on March 28th.
I'm so sorry for this sad announcement towards everyone who has always supported us.
I think Shounenki is a band that is still able to grow and I don't think we've done all we wanted to do.
It doesn't mean I came to hate Shounenki.
I honestly love the members and our fans.
We've talked about this again and again but when we thought about the future of every single of these four members we came to the end to disband.
4 1/2 years I was rushing ahead as Shounenki's guitarist.
We've produced many songs, released many CD and gave countless lives.
During these 4 1/2 years memories piled up that I won't forget ever again.
Even if I turn around now, I see only good memories.
I think during those 4 1/2 years I was active as Shounenki's eiki I was really a lucky person.
Everyone who has supported us until here, all people concerned and the members... I'm thankful from the bottom of my heart.
There are only a few lives left but let's create awesome memories, okay?
Thank you.

Sorry for this sudden announcement.
Since Shounenki has started its activities 4 1/2 years have passed.
4 1/2 years during which I've only thought of Shounenki while continue walking.I've met so many people and a world I haven't seen until then. You've made me seen many scenarios. Every single one is a treasure.
Thank you to everyone who has walked with us and supported us until now.
I think those people who know us well already know it
but rather than bandmates I've seen [the members of] Shounenki as good friends. We've talked about this again and again and this is the result we came to in the end.
To live on in everyone's hearts that have so supported us,
we'll convey all of our feelings through Shounenki's music.
"There has been such an awesome band!"
The meeting with these awesome members...
And these awesome fans...
We won't forget this.
I will keep you in my heart,
so please support us until the end.

To all the fans who have always supported us, I'm really sorry for this sudden announcement.
As started in the announcement, Shounenki will disband after its live on March 28th.First of all I want to say, it's not because we're not friends anymore or because of musical differences.
We've discussed this so often.
We've announced it at a time like this because we wanted everyone to come to our lives with nothing but happy feelings. Please forgive us our egoism.
Maybe we would be able to keep it going this year. But that wasn't what this was all about. We don't want to look back. We've talked about this with the members and staff thinking about what's lying ahead. This is the result we came to.
I was invited by Kou-chan. I moved to Tokyo with eiki whom I know since my youth and there I've met Nao. After we were found by our current management our world became wider.
I dedicated everything to Shounenki for 4 1/2 years.
All these smiles I saw at our lives, the songs I listened to and the power I received through your voices, they gave me energy.
Regarding my personal life, when Shounenki formed I decided that this will be my last band, so I will retire from musical activities.
"I want to have a band like this!" That's what I thought when I met these three members. That's why there's nothing else I can do anymore.
Probably I won't be able to spend such a fun time again.
I'm so thankful towards everyone who has supported us, the staff and all people concerned.
There aren't many lives left, but I will keep running with all my might until March 28th. Please support us until the end.
