儿-JIN-, ex-vocalist of NEGA, has announced his long-awaited new band: THE BLACK SWAN!!! The mysterious project has been formed by JIN as his “own” band—but the members, musical sound, visuals, and world view are all shrouded in mystery... Check below for [a clumsy translation of] JIN's official comment:

• COMMENT from JIN _Long time no see.

Considerable time has flowed from NEGA's last stage.

• For me, it's been filled with new encounters with, and goodbyes from special people...
• With so many things going on, a truly long time passed in an instant.

But in that time, how often did I have that same dream...?

That dream, it can't end as it is: a “dream”.

• Nor can I be satisfied with the incomplete understanding of the expression of myself.
• For the sake of exploring my personal expression even more;
• And for the sake of the calls of “you”, however few;
• I think that I must work toward the start of a new stage.
• Although I can't announce details yet, my intentions are written here.

I am looking forward to meeting “you”.

-- お久しぶりです。

最後にステージに立ったあの日から、随分と月日が流れました。

• 自分にとっては、新しい出会いや大切な人との別れ・・・
• 本当に色んなことがあり、とてもとても長い様でほんの一瞬の様な時間でした。

そしてその間、何度同じ夢を見たこと か・・・

その夢を「夢」のままで終わらせたくはない。

• 未だ未だ自分の表現に満足したわけでも納得した訳でもない。
• もっと自分の表現を突き詰める為に、
• それを必要としてくれる数少ない「君」の為に、
• また新しいステージヘ立ちたいと思います。
• まだ詳しいことは発表出来ないけれど、その意思をここに記します。

また「君」に逢えるのを楽しみにしています。
