I'm saddened by this news. I think over the years they spent together, there was much creative improvement by other members of the band (at least Uki and Izawa). They also developed several different distinct sounds. But Ringo doesn't belong in a band. I'd be overjoyed to see her return to her solo career, but I'm scared she might be wanting to retire. It seems like we're hearing more about endings and loose ends being tied, rather than new beginnings.

On-topic: A lot of comments about their albums becoming lesser over time. You guys feel Variety was that much better than Sports? I can't understand how one can feel this way. Is it OSCA?

Boris are totally up my alley. Try feedbacker and pink if you haven't already, if u don't like them then I guess u might like the newer jpop style. But yeah, feedbacker I really love to bits

Ringo:

To everyone who has enjoyed our band, thank you very much.
It was a short journey, but we've always been feeling grateful.
Though Jihen is disbanding on the intercalary day, our works will live on.

If we die, galvanize us
Resurrect us with your playback equipments
Farewell!

Ukigumo has the shortest one so here we go

Sudden banding and disbanding, that's the story of Tokyo Jihen.
This reminds me of when I joined Tokyo Jihen - it was the day just before the recording of Adult.

It was fun.
Thanks a lot.
See you.
And oh the price for one goodbye tour ticket is 8888 yen.

For those who can read Chinese, the Taiwanese EMI website has a Chinese translation of the farewell comments by the TJ members. If no direct English translation is forth coming, I can translate these into English when I have time.

[Edit 1: added translation for Izawa]

非常感謝喜愛這個樂團的所有人士。
雖然期間短暫,一直以來都非常感謝大家。
即使事變將於閏日(2/29)解散,我們的作品也將永恆不滅。

倘若我們已死去請插上電源
用你的再生裝置使我們甦醒
再會吧! ---椎名林檎(vox&drums)---


從我入團以來已歷經六個年頭,真是時光飛逝。
很感謝能夠參加這個奇蹟般的音樂組合。當自己再跨出全新一步之後,
希望還有機會再一起做音樂。因為這是一群經歷相同時間的重要夥伴。
由衷感謝長久以來一直支持我們的人。
其實,有好幾次大家都拯救了我。謝謝你們。
希望東京事變的作品今後也依然能夠豐富每個人的心靈。
後會有期。
再見,謝謝。 ---伊澤一葉(key&vox)---

It has already been 6 years since I joined the band, time really flies.
Very grateful that I could join this almost miraculous music group.
Hope that there will be opportunities to make music together in the future; because we are important partners who have experienced the same moments together.
Really want to thank our long time supporters.
In fact, I was saved a number of times by everyone. Thank you.
Hope that Tokyo Jihen's work will continue to enrich everyone's heart.

Till next time.
Bye. Thanks. Izawa

五個人迴響天空的日子,每天都以最高值度過的時刻,
現在,即將結束。
身為音樂人、身為一個人,我以滿腔的愛意將『東京事變』這個時光膠囊封存起來。
一直到最後謝幕為止,都會保持笑容持續演奏出堅定的音色。
然後,期待哪天,再度打開這個時光膠囊的門扉…
7年來,真的非常感謝大家! ---龜田誠治(bass)---


五個大人聚在一起,感情可以好成這樣還真少見。
而且還是這樣結束,也不是常有的事情吧。
他們四位一直都很親切,真的非常感謝。
雖然有點老王賣瓜,但我認為東京事變的音樂真的很帥氣。
因此無論是聽眾、來看演唱會的大家,也都是超級帥氣的客人。

謝謝大家。 ---刄田綴色(drums&vox)---


這就是加入與解散都是突如其來的東京事變。
回想起來決定要加入東京事變是在錄製專輯『大人』的前一天。

真的很開心。
謝謝大家!
那麼就這樣! ---浮雲(guitar&vox)---

I think Ringo next project is to resurrect her all-female band, but this time with slightly different members:

That mischievous glint there lololol Shiina found some new playthings? Nakata won't mind I'm sure. Is that screenshot from Super live by the way? I still haven't watched.

But if she is actually going to do the pop producer for hire thing, I'd like HZM to put Takahashi Hitomi name on a piece of paper in her shirt pocket- with hope of her never going near Chiaki again. That last album of Hitomi's had some real noteworthy names attached to (including HZM) and even as I type this I don't feel there was a track on their that anyone posting actively on this thread would listen to more than once.
