This news comes off the heels of the great success of their single “Hai to Inori” which was used as the ending theme for the NieR:Automata Ver.1.1a anime’s second season.
The group has also made new renditions of the classic YoRHa themes, such as “Guadalcanal”:
Granted, this doesn’t sound like a complete end to the group as much as it’s the beginning of a large restructuring effort moving forward. I’m curious to hear more of where things could possibly come from here.

To all our fans who have supported us,
GEMS COMPANY will come to an end with our live performance on December 7th.
We began streaming on April 17th, 2018, and it’s been about six years since we formed in August of that year. We’ve been able to continue for so long because of each and every one of you who supported us along the way.
I’m sorry that I couldn’t fulfill all of our fans’ wishes for a bigger and brighter stage.
But!!!!!!! Since receiving this message, I’ve been giving it my all so that I have no regrets!
If you ever feel lonely, I’d be so happy if you remembered listening to our songs. I hope they give you strength!!
When I try to put the past six years into words, nothing feels quite right.
I just want you to know—I really, really love you all!
I’ll live my life to the fullest until the very end, so please keep supporting me.
With love,
Hinaka Hoshina
