Claris had a CD coming out as they announced they were going to disband. When they made that announcement the CD as expected shot up the preorder rankings chart and will probably become a bestseller. Now suddenly decide just kidding. Hmmmm......

They didn't say they were going to disband, they said Alice was leaving, and she did.

Best to wait a while to avoid being too obvious. Passing her entrance exams would be a great excuse to come back.

Is no one going to say anything about Gero? I was surprised to see he was the one interviewing Clara as I've liked both Gero's and ClarIs' work when they sang as utaites Anime smile Anyway, I'm glad that ClarIs is still continuing even if it's just Clara.

Ah glad to see a follow up on ClariS.Happy to hear that she will continue singing but there will always be a little piece in my heart that Alice will come back since their backstory is so adorable and sweet and I just love seeing them both together.

Seems like a cop out to say they aren't disbanded when one of the 2 members that made the group has left. Now could she ever come back in the future who knows maybe she will/can change her mind.

But even if they get a replacement that sounds just like her or better, even then it won't be the same ClariS that made them as popular as they are.

If you watch the whole video Clara said that ClariS will not disband. So, it is still unknown if she will be solo or have a new partner. But, it is possible that Alice will come back. We just don't know yet.

Seems like this article is concluding early.

Not really sure what to think on this. I love ClariS to death as they're one of my favorite artists, so it was sad to see Alice leave the duo. But, now that Alice is gone, it's just Clara. It's not the same without Alice, in both the name of the group and the songs that will be produced in the future.

However, I do wish Alice well on her studies and whatever else she decides to pursue. It's her life after all. I am however in the group with a sliver of hope that one day Alice will return to ClariS someday.

I'm still trying to figure out how ClariS didn't, given the whole "half the duo left" thing. Is Alice going to be replaced? Though I wonder how she'll scout said replacement without coming out as Clara.


It's a matter of semantics. Half the duo has left, but the ClariS brand will remain in use despite the change.

In short, they want the fans to continue buying what they release, so it's counter-productive to announce a disbandment (an exception would exist if Clara herself were super popular, thus justifying the launch of a new act and branding), even if that's what it really is.

Just go solo. That's not so bad.
