nurié have announced their disbandment on their home page. They will hold their final performance on December 26th, at Osaka Muse.
They also announced a 5 performance last tour, culminating at their final show.
The band also released a new single earlier this week. Uka tensei NOSTALGIA (雨過天晴ノスタルジア) was distributed at live performances and, as of the time writing this, has not made its way to streaming services just yet.
On their OHP, you can read the member comments. Below are a machine-translated version, so fans who do not speak Japanese are also able to understand their sentiments. All 3 members expressed condolences to their late bassist Yahiro, who passed away in late 2021 after an accident.
nurié have always had a special relationship with vkgy ever since they were one of the first bands we interviewed back during the pandemic.
From vocalist Oosumi Ryuutarou (大角龍太朗) :
First of all, I feel extremely sorry and remorseful for making such an announcement. I am truly sorry.
If you ask me whether I am 100% convinced and accepting of this decision, I would be lying. My anger was stronger than my sadness. Therefore, I believe that the journey toward disbanding is one of “acceptance” and “forgiveness.”
And I believe that the above two points are also the emotions you feel toward nurié. So, of course, even though the end is decided, I have no intention of slacking off. From here on out until the end of the year, we will continue to be the best band for you, so I hope you will continue to support us until the very end.
Since the decision to disband was made on May 26, I have often reflected on the journey we embarked on as four members of nurié. The fun times, the interesting times, the tough times, the painful times—through it all, the four of us overcame challenges together, and we were living our youth. There are many things I realized only after the decision to end was made. I truly felt that there are things you can only gain by losing them, and I hope to keep that realization in mind and apply it to the future. This is something I could only have realized because we gave it our all for six years.
Naniwa PLAYGROUND was also something we took seriously. We aimed to grow this event step by step and contribute to Osaka's vibrancy, but that dream has also been shattered. I'm sorry. However, the resolve to cherish Osaka will remain deep within my heart, no matter what activities I pursue in the future.
I'm filled with a sense of guilt toward Yahiro-san in heaven. I couldn't protect this place. But no matter what form it takes, Yahiro-san's will will continue to live on within me. I will continue to cherish the many things I gained at the place called nurié.
From now on, I will utilize the experience of the past six years to connect it to the music I will create in the future. I don't know how much time it will take, but we will definitely meet again in the future.
I apologize for causing sadness with this negative announcement, but since this decision was made some time ago, I am now focusing positively on the future. So I will run ahead without a gloomy face, aiming to bring you into the future, and I hope you will stay with me until the end.
There are so many more things I want to say, but I would like to convey them directly at the live show.
Until the very last moment, please continue to support the Kansai Osaka Super Rock Band nurié.
-Oosumi Ryuutarou
From guitarist Hirose Ayato (廣瀬彩人):
As of December 26, 2025, nurié will cease all activities and disband. We are truly sorry that we were unable to preserve nurié as a place for everyone.
I never really thought the day would come when we would have to say the words “dissolution” ourselves. Despite the ups and downs of the band and its members, I always believed this band would continue indefinitely.
The decision to dissolve was made in May, and while I knew the fact that it would end by the end of the year, you all in front of me knew nothing. There was a sense of guilt, as if I were lying, and the past few months have been emotionally taxing.
To be honest, I haven't fully come to terms with it myself yet. There were more songs I wanted to create for nurié, and more landscapes I wanted to show you. nurié has been at the center of my life, and I've lived that way all along. As a performer, guitarist, composer, and human being, I've been stuck in a whirlpool of regret, wondering if I could have overcome the obstacles by pulling others along if I had been more mature. I'm filled with guilt toward those who love nurié.
I went to see Yahiro right away and told him first. I'm sorry I couldn't protect our place. I don't know what the future holds, but I have a clear desire to continue making music, so I will firmly carry on Yahiro's will in whatever form it takes.
As nurié, I want to live with my head held high, not looking down, to make the most of the time I have left. If the members don't stay strong, the fans will suffer even more. Looking at life as a whole, there's no compensation for this moment being a negative. I want to live the time I have left in a way that makes me think this outcome was for the best in the long run.
This might be my last selfish request, but I hope you'll stick with me until the end, which is about four months away.
-Hirose Ayato
From drummer Sometani Yuuta (染谷悠太):
First of all, I am truly sorry to have to deliver this sad news. I am truly sorry.
I've been thinking about this for days and days.
I've always taken it for granted that nurié would continue indefinitely, so I never imagined a day like this would come.
But I realized that this is probably true for everyone in a band—I only truly understood it once I became part of it myself.
When we formed the band with the goal of becoming successful, no one thought about dissolving it. We formed it with a bright future in mind.
Since forming the band, I've been running at my own pace for six years. But I just couldn't keep running anymore.
Over the past six years, if I had done this or that, if I had been stronger, if I had done this or that, there's no end to the “what ifs,” and in the end, I ended up betraying the people who supported us, so I feel a strong sense of regret.
I'm truly sorry.
I don't know what Yahiro wants, but we really wanted to show him our success, so I'm filled with regret and apology that we couldn't show him the bigger picture of nurié.
I think everyone has different feelings about the dissolution. I don't expect you to look forward immediately.
Nevertheless, I intend to run until the end, so that you, who are reading this now, can feel that supporting this band was worthwhile, and so that I can repay everyone who has supported us until now.
It may be selfish, but I hope you will see it through to the end. Please continue to support nurié until the very last moment.
