In one of his blog entries, he explained that due to the bad condition of his father who may die soon, he came to this conclusion.

 

 

Moreover, the band stated to continue after Luna's withdrawal.
Fang are very sorry for this sudden announcement.

We wish all the best to Luna, his father and family and that hopefully it will all turn out well in the end!

DIDEAR to Disband

DIDEAR has announced via their OHP that they will disband. Not much else to go, but, here is the quote from Monochrome Heaven:

DIDEAR will disband after their live at Shibuya REX at 2012/04/26.

As I said, not much. I encourage everyone to visit their OHP, and have included the link in the sources, as the band did seem to have some promise.
