☄♪ D'espairsRay to reunite at Angelo special Live this july

Three and a half years after D'espairsRay announced their disbandment, the band's official Facebook and Twitter accounts have just confirmed that D'espairsRay will be participating at -Angelo Presents-THE INTERSECTION OF DOGMA. This momentous event will be held July 29 at Zepp DiverCity. Also performing are Angelo, RIZE, lynch., and FAKE?.

This excellent news also couldn't come at a better time as 2014 is the 15th anniversary of D'espairsRay's formation.

It can be recalled that the members had to cease activities as D'espairsRay last June 2011 due to vocalist Hizumi's throat condition. He is not yet fully recovered but the band is optimistic that they can bring their best at this performance. In a tweet posted immediately after the announcement, Hizumi even expressed his delight at being able to perform again.

Here now is the band's official announcement:

{Performance at the -Angelo Presents-「THE INTERSECTION OF DOGMA」on 29.07.2014 as

D'ESPAIRSRAY

　

In commemoration of D’ESPAIRSRAY’s 15th anniversary this year, we were invited to be part of the event "THE INTERSECTION OF DOGMA”

Although HIZUMI’s throat condition is getting better he is not fully recovered. We were a little unsure about performing as D’ESPAIRSRAY but now with the feeling of doing the best we can we would like to perform this LIVE.

☄♪Hizumi(D'espairsRay) planning on a come back?

☄♪There haven't been much news about D'espairsRay on this blog ever since their disbandment. If you did not know already, Hizumi is now active with his company "UMBRELLA" which primarily focuses on design and graphics. Recently Hizumi posted on UMBRELLA's Mail Magazine about some cravings, in which he stated:

"...doing a band was excellent for real so I have been thinking about doing it another time. 

So far when it comes to me, "music = singing", and when I have been thinking about it there haven't been any alternatives, Somehow I don't know which form to put UMBRELLA but I've been thinking about taking music part of it"

Hizumi is also holding a meetup the 23rd of March (Saturday) and 24th (Sunday), in Japan.

The full translation of their latest Mail Magazine is available through the blog "The Ray in Our Despair", there are also very interesting comments below which you should take a read as a D'espairsRay fan.
