Ketchup Mania to disband in May

Pop-punk band ketchup mania posted a message to their fans on their official website, breaking the news that the group has decided to disband.

ketchup mania has been active since 1999. They made their major label debut in December 2005 under Universal Music, and in 2007 they transferred to TOY'S FACTORY. That same year, they made their U.S. debut at A-Kon, followed by performances in 2008 at Sakura-Con and on the SXSW Japan Nite tour.
