Well, you probably heard the news some way or another. Every WACK group are breaking up at some point next year, and GP were the first to officially announce it. Without further ado… This is what they had to say to all of us.

Yumeno Yua

GANG PARADE will disband in 2026.

This year marks the 10th year that we’ve carried GANG PARADE’s name. Everyone that we’ve met, thank you for so much love up to now.

My life has wholeheartedly been GANG PARADE, that’s how much of my time and determination i’ve devoted, but, at last, that time has come.

Until the very end, I want to believe in the world that that gave me so many dreams and goals. I want to prove with you all that everyone’s playground is the best in the world! That’s my last wish.

Sing, dance, laugh, cry…

Embracing all of the happy moments, without spilling a single drop of them, while holding onto gratitude and a vast love, I want to keep on running ahead through this life.

In this final year, i’ll be waiting at everyone’s playground!

So I can convey everything to you all directly, my beloved Asobinin.

Until that final moment,

I’m counting on you!!!!

Yamamachi Miki

We, GANG PARADE, will disband in 2026.

We had ten years that came with a lot of changes while being supported by everyone.
I’m grateful to everyone that was involved in one way or another.
Thank you so much.

As if condensing life itself, all the bitter and sweet, GANG PARADE allowed me to experience many things in a way that the time I got to live as Yamamachi Miki is a precious treasure that I received from Asobinin.

Until the moment we reach the end, i’m looking forward to to the many treasures that will pile up, as they always do.

If it’s with Asobinin, no matter the time, no matter the place, I have confidence that we’ll keep building the best playground for everyone.

Please keep running with us.

Please stay by our side.

Please, until the very end, keep on living with GANG PARADE.

I’d be happy if we can meet again, at our playground for everyone, with a smile.

Just as it has been announced, GANG PARADE will disband.

I LOVE GANG PARADE!

My life was saved by GANG PARADE.

I decided in my heart that i’d see GANG PARADE up to the very end, without running away halfway through.

Just like in my name, i’ll carry GANG PARADE.

I want to live up until the very last day, with all of my strength, happy, so that everyone who supported us, or was connected to us in any way, can say

“I’m glad that I supported GANG PARADE! I’m glad I worked with them! They were indeed an amazing group!”

So thank you for loving us.

And for entrusting your life, supporting GANG PARADE.

Until the end, the 11 of us will continue to send our love to everyone. So please, watch over us.

It has been decided that GANG PARADE will be disbanding in 2026.

Having been able to work as an idol, the profession I admire and love the most; Having that dream I once gave up on rescued by WACK, GANG PARADE and Asobinin. I’m truly filled with gratitude.

I believe that GANG PARADE’s playground is the concert that makes people the happiest in the whole world.

I’m proud that “everyone’s playground” was built together by both Asobinin and members.

The end will inevitably come for everything that has a form.

I still can’t picture how the “last” will be, and of course i’m feeling desolate and sad, but I think it’s something truly fortunate that I get to run ahead to every every last moment along with the Asobinin, and the current 11 members of GANG PARADE.

I want to enjoy it all until i’m exhausted, every single second we have left with our Asobinin!

Gratitude and love, let’s exchange them with one another. Our willpower and pride!

Please support GANG PARADE until the end!

When I try to remember everything that happened so far, the volume of my memories is so vast that that it can’t fit into words. But, if I had to summarize my current feelings, they’d be “love and gratitude.”

Thanks to GANG PARADE i’ve been able to experience many things for the first time in my life; Being able to continue this playground for 10 years was because Asobinin were by our side, no matter what, whether things were going well or not.

Really, thank you for everything.

Love and gratitude.

LOVE and thank you!

The amount of love that we’ve received until now, and today too, so much that we can’t give it back enough, we’ll send it your way next year.

GANG PARADE! ASOBININ! I LOVE YOU!

To, Asobinin,

To, everyone that’s ever been connected to GANG PARADE,

GANG PARADE will disband in 2026 next year.

As a group, it’s been 10 years.

Personally, I got to be apart of things for over 8 of them.

Truly, because we’ve been helped countless times by so many people,

Because we were supported and cheered on with so much love,

GANG PARADE was able to keep going this far.

There were days I thought that I couldn’t do this anymore, but even so, I kept standing on stage because it was “still not enough/mada tarinai”, it was thanks to the Asobinin that were by our side throughout all of our eras.

Thank you for finding us!

Thank you for loving us!

I’m sorry if we upset you.

But we don’t intend, even for a single second, for you meeting GANG PARADE, you becoming an Asobinin, to become a sad memory.

With willpower and pride, everyone’s playground that we watched over so far, we’ll keep on building it with Asobinin until the very end.

Let’s run through the final year like crazy, going all out!!

Please stay with us until the end.

GANG PARADE will disband in 2026. So, to everyone that supported us up to now, thank you.

It’s been 6 years since I joined GANG PARADE. At some point, I ended up not being able to imagine myself not being apart of GANG PARADE, and i’m really aware of and feeling how long of a time i’ve experienced that. Being able to keep going for so long is undoubtably thanks to the existence of Asobinin. Because there were people who needed me, I was able to be in GANG PARADE. Thank you for giving me a place to be.

I’m thankful for WACK for allowing me, somebody without favourite things, dreams, anything at all, to be apart of something I could seriously focus on. Moreover, being able to be apart of such a cool and wonderful group makes me happier than anything.

Until the very end, I want to show you a bright and happy playground, just like GANG PARADE is, so, i’d be happy if we could play together in 2026 as well!

Asobinin! I love you!

GANG PARADE will disband in 2026.

Entering an ongoing group, there were people who kept on loving GANG PARADE since a long time before I joined, there are so many Asobinin I met since I became a member.

Having been able to join a group like GANG PARADE, loved by so many people, is the biggest source of pride in my life.

So that I could deliver GANG PARADE to so many people, I performed with the confidence that “GANG PARADE is a REALLY good group!”

That won’t ever change, even if disbanding has been decided.

GANG PARADE are the best group, GANG PARADE’s concerts too, everyone’s playground is always the best moment, and now is the best time.

Until we disband in 2026, I want to meet so many people at everyone’s playground, people who meet GANG PARADE because we’re breaking up, or remember us because of it too. Let’s enjoy it the most until we’re exhausted!!

I’m waiting, at everyone’s playground!

Changbaby

As it turns out, we, GANG PARADE, shall disband.

But it’s not like the end is going to happen immediately! I think it’s a really happy thing that we still have time to spend with Asobinin!

Even if the end has been decided, we’ll continue to build the best playground, like we always have, and obviously our feelings of wanting to meet many more Asobinin will remain unchanged!

After all, we’re great and the best group! I’m always thinking I want even more people to know about us, and that won’t change until the very end.

That’s why i’ll do my best to deliver GANG PARADE’s songs more and more!

I was born as Changbaby, became part of GANG PARADE and learned many things, but no matter when something happened or what happened, GANG PARADE is a group that can turn anything into fun, or the best time ever! So that’s why I want us to stay true to ourselves until the very end!

Happy! I want to enjoy it! With tears and laughter!

To all Asobinin that are always by our side,

Thank you! And i’m still counting on you!

To everyone that always supports GANG PARADE,

GANG PARADE will disband in 2026.

Thank you so much for having discovered, loved and played with GANG PARADE up to now.

While surrounded by all the love that Asobinin give us, having been able to live as part of GANG PARADE is the biggest source of joy in my life. Certainly, nothing is ever going to top that, but that’s fine.

There are so many dreams I was able to realize in GANG PARADE, and many that didn’t come true, but there’s still time until the day it all ends. Being ourselves with everyone until the end, I want to sing, dance, laugh, enjoy and die together.

From the bottom of my heart, i’m glad I became apart of GANG PARADE. From now on as well, we’ll perform with all our might, so that Asobinin can be glad they liked GANG PARADE, so that you can remember us at any time.

Somehow, some way, please support us until the very end!

GANG PARADE will disband in 2026!

Before I joined GANG PARADE, I got to perform as a trainee (in WAgg).

Unable to be promoted, the place I finally got to debut was GANG PARADE.

Joining GANG PARADE, a group that kept going with the senior members overcoming many obstacles, is the proudest thing in my life.

After joining I got to experience so many things, such as dreams I wish that I could tell my younger self about, and moments I felt like I was going to lose to my own weakness. When I joined, there were times I ended up self-depreciating, but it was Asobinin’s love that made me stronger, and more flexible.

Always standing, facing us closely at all times, thanks to Asobinin that would randezvous at our playground, I can hold my head high and say that GANG PARADE is the best, this is where I belong!

No matter how much time passes, I believe that GANG PARADE will always be GANG PARADE, and Asobinin will always be Asobinin.

Until the end, please, keep making memories with us that will turn into endless stories you can reminisce on.

We love GANG PARADE and Asobinin from the bottom of our hearts! I LOVE YOU!
