I dont understand the situation well....
KISAKI and UNDER CODE said in the last months, that chariots resume activities for the last concerts in December and after it will "disband".
but RIKU announced now on his blog, that the chariots will resume in 2012 also.
so it seems 凛 wont come back soon... !? or KISAKI retired to make the 凛 famous?

it's rather stupid to judge RIKU based on a couple of videos you saw. his voice is amazing, and he is the most active of all the members on stage. but if you don't like his singing or lyrics or stage appearance, perhaps you should just stop listening to Lin rather than being rude and disrespectful about a person you've never even met.

Maybe the streaming will be canceled, but not with the live and announcement.

HEY!! Stop fighting and blame each others! Why don't you think other way to support them and stop blaming Kisaki or Riku. I just think Kisaki really enjoys his Kisaki Project and Riku enjoys his Chariots. I have to say that we can't blame them. It's very hard for them to choose one of their Solo Project or 凛 Whatever they choose, we just can support them and Kisaki or Riku never want their fans blame and hummiliate their bandmates. We will see the decision on streaming live, right? so... Riku and Kisaki's fans, stop fighting!

Why not? KISAKI is with LIN and KP, plus his job as UNDER CODE president, and he is -I think- doing well!
So… why not! But I'm really scared, even if yes, Riku isn't anymore the Phantasmagoria's Riku, he is still an important part of LIN for me, I can't figure how the band will become without him…
God, this "important announcement" thing makes a brand new meaning…

You could be right! I've thought about this once before—it would certainly shake things up!
What a refreshing idea... now I kind of want it

lol :D
lyrics: RIKU wrote 15 lyrics. KISAKI wrote only 9 lyrics. and KISAKI compose almost all song, some made by KANATA (Royal Blood, Lin, Lost in the mist of time, Feeling Universe), because nobody one can compose enough good songs by ownself. (if u noticed RIKU didnt compose songs in chariots neither)
RIKU's lyrics's 95% is boring love song! (if u understand)

You know, I've been thinking about this. And frankly? They don't need Riku to continue 凛, regardless of if he's their vocalist 凛 is not like Phantasmagoria, it isn't a huge collaboration by all the members of the band working together. Most of the songs and the lyrics are written by KISAKI. Realistically? Every member in that band is replaceable EXCEPT for Kisaki, so I think that perhaps Riku will leave 凛, and be replaced by another vocalist. It isn't entirely unheard of.
The only thing that bothers me about that is the fact that Riku will be getting so much shit for it and say what you will about the man but he has NOT been happy. It's completely obvious to anyone who bothers to really look at his blog posts. This is HIS choice, he made it for a reason and I don't think for a second that 'ending chariots' was something he ever wanted to do. This makes him happy and as his fans we need to respect that regardless of what it means for 凛.
(Besides, Riku's too good of a writer to be singing somebody else's lyrics. Especially ones that are so damn cliche)

I am super happy about this news (^v^) I've always loved chariots. and the live was insanely fun, and I really, really look forward to seeing them as a full band next year!
as for Lin... it's hard to say... during the MC, RIKU mentioned that he couldn't release new chariots material earlier because he was busy with Lin. and now chariots will be a full band again and they're releasing a new single in 2012.... so... I guess we'll find out after the announcement.
personally, I will be happy with anything that makes RIKU happy. I love chariots as much as I love Lin. and I wouldn't want either of them to disband. but I find it hard to imagine that he would have time to be in two full bands at the same time.

I am really happy if this becomes true !
Well, Kanata and Reiya won't probably be featured in chariots' new line up because of Lin, but I'm sure Riku can still do amazing things on his own ! Also, I hope he'll find new mates that fit chariots' concept and compositions.
I was missing them a lot since their "disbanding". Their 3 last singles + the single that chariots released a Riku's solo project were... not really good. But imo, the rest of their CDs and songs were quite nice overall (with very good ones and a few bad ones).
And for Lin, I don't think it means they are going to end soon. Riku CAN have 2 projects in the same time, it's not "that" time consuming. Moreover, if chariots resumes its activities as a full band (and no longer as Riku's solo project, as it has been announced on Kisaki's blog), it means Riku won't be the only one to compose and to organise everything.
I think everything is going to be fine for Lin and chariots (and fans :D). At least, that's what I am hoping for :3.

Agreed.
I actually really like chariots, quite a bit, but I don't want them resuming if it means LIN doesn't resume, I'll be pissed off if that happens :/
Indeed don't really understand it. I remember the official word that chariots would disband not long ago, and now they are supposedly resuming... it seems to me, I've no idea though, that it's something Riku wants to do whilst LIN is on hiatus, like a 'I've got nothing better to do, so I'll resume chariots' hopefully until LIN resumes... but it's all speculation at this point, we won't know for certain until next year I'm sure.

i dont have problem with chariots. but they started as the "Phantasmagoria's successor". and look what it became, just something oneman fun band without hope, without future, without conception... 凛 is more meaningful

Yeah, I don't really understand it either... To be honest, I don't like chariots at all, but I'm fine with them coming back... but not if it means LIN won't come back!
I suppose I'll wait for New Year to find out what LIN's doing, but I'll be really angry if LIN isn't coming back but chariots is. That would just be ridiculous.

Honestly? I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS. When I saw his blog post, I screamed, literally screamed with joy. There are no words to convey my happiness that chariots is back. Riku seems so happy about it too, his blog posts scream with a shift in emotion. I'm happy. I'm so damn happy and I don't know what will happen to LIN, all I know is that Riku is doing what he needs to do to be happy, to live a fufulling life and follow his own dreams. So I will support him with everything that I am. <3 Viva chariots!!
