mol-74 Announces Indefinite Hiatus in May 2025

On February 13, 2025, Japanese indie rock band mol-74 officially announced that they will pause their activities at the end of May 2025. After nearly 15 years of music, the band made this decision after careful discussions among the members and their staff regarding their future.

In their official statement, mol-74 expressed their gratitude to their fans for their continuous support and apologized for the sudden announcement. Since forming in 2010, the band has carved out a unique place in the Japanese indie scene with their dreamy sound, introspective compositions, and the signature falsetto vocals of their lead singer.

Farewell Live Concerts: “a fork”

To mark the occasion, mol-74 will hold two farewell concerts under the title “a fork”:

May 15, 2025 (Thursday) – Tokyo, Ebisu The Garden Hall
May 24, 2025 (Saturday) – Kyoto, KBS Hall

These performances will be a chance for the band to express their gratitude to their fans and deliver one final live experience before their hiatus.

An Uncertain Future, But a Lasting Legacy

While this announcement does not confirm a complete disbandment, no information has been provided regarding a potential return. The members will likely take time to reflect on their next steps.

With this decision, mol-74 joins a list of Japanese indie bands that have left a deep impact before going on hiatus, much like Galileo Galilei or LAMP IN TERREN.

Fans still have a few months left to enjoy the band’s music before their departure from the scene.
