A few days ago, rock band D’espairsRay announced their official disbandment. The news was a huge shock to the Visual Kei world and mainly their fans.

But the worry of not hearing the members play anymore is a distant memory, as three of the members are continuing with a new band, “LUV PARADE“. Although HIZUMI isn’t their vocalist anymore, Karyu, ZERO, and TSUKASA have formed this new band with a temporary vocalist. The guest vocalist is TAKA from VK band, “defspiral“.

Fans, don’t count out the ex-vocalist, HIZUMI just yet, as the singer is producing goods for this new band.

LUV PARADE has officially started activities with performing their first at “SHOCK WAVE APOLLO Vol.51” on the 18th (JST) at Takadanobaba AREA.

They will participate in “SPEED DISK PRESENTS Sakuranbou” on the 21st and 22nd at Takadanobaba AREA.

Check out some of the goods that HIZUMI produced!

    LUV PARADE is just a project!! Please don’t lead people on! There won’t be any more shows and it’s NOT a new band. Please don’t twist the information.

    Okay, I love D’ray… I’m not that excited about it since HIZUMI is one of the best vocalists ever to me. Anyway, I always will support them, no matter if they are D’espairsRay or not. But… Are these logos copied from Linkin Park or I’m crazy? AHDIUAHsihasdasd… [That was supposed to be funny, I'm not severely criticizing u.u]

    Please don’t spread such rumors…
    LUV PARADE is only a session band which they already announced in May.
    They will only hold three lives this month.

    I’m really sad…no more D’espairsRay. Seems they oversteped really soon. What did happen with them?:( Okay, I know that Hizumi isn’t well now and can’t sing too, but…they were together almost 11 years! And now everything went wrong. They continue their live as if nothing happened.Although I’m waiting for them…I hope everything will be OK in the future.

    Yes, Luv Parade is just a temporary thing that’s only lasting a few shows, no one has said or even implied it will carry on after the upcoming lives. It’s not a new band, it’s a project that’s lasting about a week. As said below, please don’t lead people on because it’s not a new band.

    this is not true, the band members were planning this as a small project way before they disbanded as they are good friends with TAKA. Hizumi was never meant to be a part of it, and they planned their shows before D’espa decided to disband. The members said they wouldn’t play in bands other than D’espa. This is NOT a new band.
