De-ho-ed

I’m on a de-ho-ed spree! But instead of spamming you with Matenrou Opera even more, today’s de-ho-ed target is one of my favourite vocalists ever, Shiine from Retina. Click on the picture to see Shiine without make-up. Only one picture, but at least it’s a bit larger, I even had to resize it so it wouldn’t be so huge.

At Shikkoku no Symphony, one or two members of each band are interviewed after their live by the hostess of the event. Last year Matenrou Opera performed at Shikkoku no Symphony, and after their live the vocalist Sono was shortly interviewed by the hostess. One of the questions concerned his childhood.
Hostess: “What did you often do when you were a kid?”
Sono: “Bought erotic magazines.”
Only as a kid? …I still do it.
Every day.

Haku, the bassist for BABYLON, when asked about the makeup of his family says that he lives alone.
Aww, that sounds so sad. The other band members all talked about their grandparents, parents, siblings… but not Haku. In fact, Takuma said that his younger sister’s husband is a fisherman, and they have a child.
So, S-T readers, who makes up your family?
As for me, I’m like Haku. Alone.

NΦA news
Posted on August 5, 2008 at 5:29 am (3 Comments)
![]()
NΦA posted this in his blog yesterday already, but the information is so limited that I couldn’t decide whether to post it or not. But anyway,
Firstly, NΦA has formed a new band called camil’e. He says that the band was formed just because he wants (or they want?) to do lives.
Secondly, he’s soon going to delete his blog and official site, and if you want to keep up with his activities from now on you need to e-mail him directly.
And that’s all, he doesn’t say anything more about the band or his future activities or anything.
Source: NΦA’s blog
If you don’t know who NΦA is, he used to sing in bands called BRAND Φ (brand zero) and AMETHYST, and he also released a solo album called Invisible 1998-2006 in March 2007. Additionally, he has been a support member for BLOOD and +ISOLATION, and he sung backing vocals on BLOOD’s “LA FIN DE LA JOURNEE”.
I find it a bit weird that he doesn’t give any information at all on the band and that he’s going to delete his blog and site.. It’ll definitely make it much harder to follow his activities. I hope the band will become something bigger!

If you look at JIN from HERO’s profile, you’ll notice he says that he’s 185cm tall and 200kg in weight. Which for our American readers, works out to roughly 6′1″ and 441lbs.
Now obviously that’s not the truth and he from time to time likes to change both his height and weight.
He’s a pretty small guy, and if you see him live and shout out 「かわいい~」 (Kawaii or cute) he’ll almost always reply with 「かっこいい!!」 (Kakkoii; good looking, handsome, attractive… not in a cutesy way).

AnCafe new look

Okay, so today I realize “Oh it’s been so long since I’ve gone to go check up on AnCafe”, and behold they finally got new outfits.

They might be old to anyone who goes and checks them daily, but I figured better late than never and that I would mention it because maybe there are fans out there like me who haven’t been keeping up with them due to the current lack of releases while they had been on tour and planning their 5th anniversary events.

Today BLACK SHIP finally updated their PC site as well! Now we have a bigger version of the new group pictures and of course bigger versions of the lovely new profile pictures.

They also updated their live schedule and they have lives planned all the way until October, so check them out if you’re going to Japan in the near future. Their live on October 4th is actually their first event organized by themselves, which is awesome and hopefully another step towards becoming a real band instead of a session band!
