A modern American story told through Detroit ambition, family legacy, and Black luxury.

Harry Americana is my personal take on independence — smooth, sharp, political, timeless.

Yasu for Vicious March 2000

I'm planning on finishing one of my old fanfictions on Jeanne d'Arc game, so this weekend I watched a full letsplay for this game. I even jotted down a quick summary of it in my notebook, noting what happened at each stage. Well, now I know exactly the sequence of events and the names of all the places 😁 I also really liked Colet, who appeared once in one of the anime cutscenes, and I decided to redraw him. And now I know at what point Queen Rouge appears. It’s a pity that I didn’t see Rose, because the author of this letsplay went a different route and took Claire de Lune to his party 😅

Saw this character on Twitter, I think they should have stayed with the design, its pretty cool. Pose is referenced as I still want to keep practicing dynamic angles and whatnot. Background is defiantly referenced from clip studio assets. Its amazing how many free assets they have for use. Enjoy!

From yasu to all his fans concerning Janne Da Arc's disbandment

You can read the official statement from yasu, in Japanese, here: http://www.janne.co.jp/yasu/

Janne Da Arc disbandment

To be honest, it's the first time I have a real sense that we've become a band that so many people hold dear.

Nothing can be more rewarding  for a band musician.

It really pains us to lose the thing that's also precious to everyone, but the answer we've come to is that keeping it isn't the only way to protect it.

By no means is this a good way of ending it, but the more comments I read, the more I'm filled with nothing but gratefulness for all the fans who have continued to support a band that hadn't been active for close to 13 years.

Thank you so, so much for everything until now.

I'm also really, really sorry

that we had to inform everyone this way.

However, I don't want you to forget that,

just as you're all sad,

all the members of Janne Da Arc, as well as all the staff and those close to us

and myself, are also sad.

I know that nobody wished for this kind of ending.

But,

there are things that nobody can do anything about even if you know it.

I can't explain it well, but I think that's what it means to grow up.

I'd like to keep talking about various things, but I hope you can understand why I intentionally went with only those words.

Now, please let me talk about myself for a bit.

From the time I decided to start Acid Black Cherry, I hadn't put in a single Janne Da Arc song into my computer.

You can take that however you want, but I want you to understand that's my way of life.

There's also something I've realized only recently,

and that is I should pat myself on the back a bit more.

The first and only time

I've ever made a decision to prioritize only myself was when I cancelled the "BLOOD" tour.

Frankly, it was during rehearsals for "Erect" that I started to think something was wrong with my body.

In retrospect, I wish I had been more honest in interpreting the signals at the time. I can't help regretting the fact that I didn't.

However, that is a hindsight.

But, I'm who I am today because I've overcome everything including that.

That much I can say with confidence.

I've also told my producer during my second surgery,

that there won't be a third time.

Now, I can finally say to myself after all this time, "Good job."

"You've really done your best."

Seeing the word "disband," I cried for the first time.

I think Janne Da Arc was one page of your youth, but for us, it was youth itself.

I haven't been able to listen to Janne Da Arc until now,

and now I can listen to it after we've disbanded. How ironic.

But, we were a really good band.

Things I want to convey are always the same things,

and I've put all of those in Janne Da Arc and Acid Black Cherry songs.

The songs won't die if someone listens or sings them again someday.

That's why I'd like you to sometimes remember the things Janne Da Arc has left behind.

As for what I've been up to recently,

I've been doing rehabilitation and being unemployed as usual.

To be honest, ever since I messed up my neck, sadly, my voice isn't as strong as it used to be.

I feel like I've got to fix up my body first before I sing.

I think this feeling is hard to get across, but it's pretty tough not being to sing  songs I've written myself.

That's why, I think this is as far as we can take it even if they put up with a guy like that.

I mean, people might've forgotten that I've been on indefinite hiatus since two years ago.

It's sad that every time my jaw or neck gets better, even I'm impressed by what I'd done with these until now.

It's a very selfish excuse, but I feel like I want to take care of myself a bit right now. From now on, I want to take another good look at my life as Yasunori Hayashi.

Since I'm a middle-aged man who has lost his voice,  I just want to at least go back to being a middle-aged man who can sing. But, please let take my time with it.

It's sad, but we're hitting the reset button for all the members.

Once again, thank you very much for everything until now.

Please support all the members in the future too.

yasu
