Popular band An Cafe has announced that they will be suspending their activities. The following announcement has been published on their homepage:

August 31, 2009 - To all the fans and everyone supporting An Cafe,

We regretfully announce that after 6 years since the band was formed in 2003, we have decided to suspend our activities from January 4th, 2010, with a live show at Nippon Budokan.

Without your sincere support for the band till today, we would never have been able to be where we are now. We are so grateful to all of you for your support.

In making this decision, there were numerous discussions made between the band members and the staff. In order for An Cafe to step up to the next level, we have came to the conclusion that it is important for each member to charge up by seeing themselves objectively. The decision is made with a forward-looking vision.

We apologize for conveying this important news to all of you this way, and hope to gain your kind understanding.

After the Budokan show, each member will concentrate on their own activities to prepare for the band to restart in the future.

Again, this is our deepest gratitude for everyone who has supported us.

Thank you so much.

Sincerely, An Cafe & Red Cafe staff
