What I'm going to try to do now is an English translation of a post from PLASTICZOOMS' Vo. Sho's official blog, Sleepy In The Deepsea.

"We PLASTICZOOMS have abandoned our form as a band. We have decided that we will cultivate our activity as the brand, PLASTICZOOMS. We will not limit ourselves to music, but will launch our original designs, clothing, and visual works as well. A lot of support from our great staffs have allowed us to accomplish this innovative project, and we will like to show our great appreciation for everyone around us with their continued support.
The six of us agreed that reforming as a brand is the best way to send out our worldly viewpoints. This is the way which suited us the best. It will allow us to pursue the ultimate question "what is art?" both as a member of a community and as individuals.
I believe that great ideas are born where highly committed people gather. There are ideas that cannot be thought or acted out alone. Because we live in a time where the word "ART" is overflowing, I feel we have been called to seek its true nature. Art is no easy thing. It is nothing that can been short shifted. It can easily get peoples' lives involved. This is what I think. For those who cannot bare or accept the burden it offers, our works may be too much to accept. I enjoy getting our works evaluated from an art-level viewpoint, but I'm no believer of the feedbacks which lacks that viewpoint. What we create reflects our values.
Today I am happy to announce the kick-off for such works; release of our three single CDs starting from December.
The dates for each singles' launches are December 11th, January 11th, and February 11th. I want everybody to listen to all three songs, collect each CD and lay them out as they please. That is how much confident I am about them. The songs were carefully selected by the six of us from the collection of songs I have been making for one and a half years. The beauty which each song holds are condensed in each CD. We are creating a music video for each song. We will have Yu Wakatsuki as director for music and visual images for the music videos. He has also directed our past music video DER. Just think that PLASTICZOOM's music as the title tune and the members as the casts. We will be uploading our MVs on youtube, so please check them out."As all translations, they lack the nuance and beauty of their original speakers words. Sorry if there are any grammatical, spelling, or any kind of mistake.
