FUNKY MONKEY BABYS to disband as of 31 March 2013

FUNKY MONKEY BABYS announced via their official website on 29 November that the group will disband as of 31 March next year. According to the statement, it was mentioned that the key reason for the move was due to DJ Chemical having to start preparations to take over the role of abbot at his family's Buddhist temple and it was impossible for him to continue his musical activites. Without DJ Chemical, FUNKY MONKEY BABYs would not be as it is so the decision to disband was made.

The group made its debut in 2006 and has been known for using the images of celebrities such as former comedian and Miyazaki Prefecture mayor Higashikokubaru Hideo and Kitano Kii on its CD jacket covers. They made their appearance on Kouhaku in 2009 and will perform there for the fourth consecutive year. Their last nationwide concert tour which ends at Saitama Super Arena on 31 March 2013, will be held at 11 places and consist of 21 performances.
