aoi yagawa — on the line

fin.

Hello, everyone that has found this blog in the least bit interesting or useful over the last 4 yrs. It has been fairly quiet here as I was in the process of moving the blog over to wordpress in the downtime from my daily responsibilities back in 2019. 2020 was kind to no one, but we managed to get our first fan zine off the ground, and had tons to buzz about in the steady climb in production value for MBG live shows throughout 2020. The stream format let them do so many interesting ideas to great effective and I could not wait to see what 2021 would bring. It brought their disbandment on May 30th. 

And with it their biggest most ambitious staging yet for Solitude HOTEL edition. The frank and suddenness of the disbandment with the immediate announcement of the Blurays left a lot of questions. That we wouldn’t get answers because all the members went silent and Yui and the official twitter purged the timelines of everything between August 2017′s Solitude HOTEL 4 announcement and the current year; and the official website and blog completely deleted. This silence was broken with the release of the final Solitude HOTEL blu-ray last week nothing more than photos.

Yui’s (secret?) personal blog was the only word we have gotten from any of the members that day.  An small excerpt I really enjoyed is where she says:

I have always had great luck with people. I’ve always come across good people. The four of us ending up together is proof of that!

On Saturday, Aug 22nd- Yui makes a blog entry to address people they worked with that helped Maison book girl get to we they no will be immortalized as. It was a sobering read. There is a point where she reflects on her time in the group fondly saying:

My experiences during our activities may go unmatched for the rest of my life.

It warms me to know that she found MBG to be as meaningful an experience as her fans. And in a final thanks to all of those that helped them along the way she says (rather roughly):

Someday, in my dying moments, I'll have flashbacks of these last 7 yrs, the goods, the costumes, the videos, poems, all the pictures and whatnot, put them all in the casket with me!

Thank you all so very much for everything. From here on out, I'll be supporting everyone's projects from the behind.

Thank you so much!

A firm farewell - if not to the fans, but definitely to Maison book girl. So I’m a little lost as to what to do with things right now. MBG hasn’t made it very easy to archive or continue translating things for you all having deleted everything. Maybe it is their artistic vision to only be a memory for those there in the moment.  Most personally, I don’t know if it worth fighting against that. Watching MBG fade further beyond niche into obscurity is a painful thing to ponder considering how inspirational they have been to my drive to create art, and allowing me to meet so many likeminded people over the last 5 yrs. Wada, Megumi and Aoi have said nothing of their future plans so far, but their twitters remained untouched giving hope that they may be used again. But Maison book girl is done, and it truthfully hurts a lot to sit with the words of Sakurai and these 4 women, combing everything I can find give context to their vision with the wound so fresh. 

Aoi had been announce to be a center figure in a music video for Kimi no Orphee’s next single halfway into July, It has since release and no word from Aoi herself and not much as a interview on her involvement- but it seemed clear from interviews with Orphee vocalist Ari that the disbandment was decided for while.

The blog has established youtube channel filled with samples from the Blu-ray releases and Amazon exclusive content as well as stream exclusive live performances, birthday events for the members, and TV show appearances.
