Waive will take a period of his band’s activities at the Nippon Budokan performance on January 4th, 2026. The tour final performance of “Soukou Issen -soukouissen-” was held at Ebisu LIQUIDROOM, and the leader Sugimoto Yoshinori (Gt/Vo) spoke frankly about how Waive disbanded.
(※Excerpts from the following)
“In fact, for a few years, the wrist disorder, cervical spine damage, and the condition of the ears that he had been suffering from before has worsened, and he is now diagnosed with Meniere’s disease. Amidst this situation, after finishing the Shibuya Public Hall live performance held in January 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will there be a re-enactment that has been gathered together for some reason under the pretext of being disbanded, but will there be a next time? This question had been growing within me. Perhaps there is no denying the future in which Waive will fade out like this.
If that were the case, I began to want to decide the end, and with a solid purpose, and aim for the heights of Waive once again, and head towards it with all my might, and the members told me this time it was a restart, not a re-run, and then disbanded. We announced that our final destination was Nippon Budokan.
I decided to think that this is a choice that only a band I’ve cherished.
I’m going to talk about this here today so that everyone can accept everything and enjoy the next six months to the fullest. Let’s run together towards the Nippon Budokan on January 4th, 2026. “
Sugimoto also made a release after the showBlogHowever, he talks about the history of the breakup live show.
