Japanese rock band MY FIRST STORY, known for their powerful theme songs for anime like "Nobunaga Concerto," "Golden Kamuy," "Chain Chronicle," and "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba," dropped a bombshell yesterday (February 26th) via their official social media. The band officially announced an indefinite hiatus, with no set return date, asking fans for patience until they make their comeback.
Formed in 2011, MY FIRST STORY made their official debut the following year in April with their self-titled album, "MY FIRST STORY." After some member changes, the current lineup includes Hiro (vocals), Teru (guitar), Nob (bass), and Kid'z (drums). 2026 was supposed to mark their 15th anniversary, making this hiatus announcement even more heartbreaking for fans.
The statement, issued jointly by all members and staff, read:
「After numerous discussions, the members have decided to take time for themselves, step back, and use this period as a 'recharge phase.' Therefore, MY FIRST STORY will be suspending all band activities.」
They added a resolute, yet poignant, line: "Until the day we return."
What makes this news even more impactful is that the announcement came on February 26th, the very day they were holding a fan club-exclusive concert in Tokyo. Delivering such news live to their dedicated fanbase surely sent shockwaves.
MY FIRST STORY's collaboration with HYDE on "Mugen," the opening theme for "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Hashira Training Arc," stands as one of their most iconic recent works. While "hiatus" in the Japanese band scene typically means a temporary pause rather than a breakup, fans are holding onto hope that the members will return stronger and better than ever after their much-needed break.
