CLØWD has updated their OHP with news that they plan to disband after their oneman live at Shibuya CLUB QUATTRO on August 25. Since it will be their final live, they have changed the title of that performance to "CLØWD FINAL LIVE 'CLØWD NINE'." They apologize for the sudden announcement, and continue to say that after much discussion with members and staff, the five could not agree on the future direction of the band. The consensus was that the band could not continue as CLØWD without these five, so they decided to disband. The members feel that it is important that they have all been together as a band without a single member change since they started activities on January 8, 2015. They thank fans for their continued support and promise to do their best to the very end. Member statements follow the announcement.
