Tsubakiya Quartette(椿屋四重奏) announces breakup!

Rock band Tsubakiya Shijuusou, also known as Tsubakiya Quartette(椿屋四重奏), announced on their official website that they disbanded at the end of last year, after their countdown concert on December 31 at Zepp Sendai. The band apologized for the late announcement, but offered words of gratitude to the fans and other people who have supported them throughout the years.

Vocalist and guitarist Yuji Nakada(中田裕二) explained that the decision to disband had already been made by the members around the summer of last year. He said that it was a natural decision with no particular reason, as the band felt that the time to break up had come. He also explained that the band definitely didn't want to do a final "breakup tour," so they had continued their activities as if they would still be moving forward.

Nakada(中田裕二) and drummer Ryota Kodera(小寺良太) stated that they plan to continue with their musical careers, while bassist Takashige Nagata(永田貴樹) will be leaving music in pursuit of something else.
