Hello all! I’m here with your random fact!
Today’s random fact comes from Mizuki from Misaruka.
Seems a few days ago he received his Lunar Embassy card in the mail. In the Lunar Embassy you can buy real estate on the moon, and they’ll put the registry on the moon starting at just 3,000yen.
He wrote in his blog, with a picture of the card;
Land on the Moon
I received the certificate of title♪
The Moon Princess’ next door neighbor (laughs)
How cute! I don’t know about you, but I’d like to live next door to the Moon Princess too.. as long as I can bring Yanni along too.

Random Fact of the Day
29
Oct, 2009
Once again it’s time for everyone’s favorite part of the day…. RANDOM FACT TIME!
Today’s random fact is about YOSHIKI, and what he’s been up to recently.
Did you know, that on October 27th, YOSHIKI attended a private premiere of the Michael Jackson movie, “Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT”?
In fact, YOSHIKI was friends with M.J and as the news said, it seemed YOSHIKI went to the screening as himself as an artist, more than anything else, and to show his respect for Michael Jackson’s work. YOSHIKI didn’t even appear on the red carpet like many of the other stars, and snuck out the back of the theatre when it all was over!
Of course this random fact cannot be complete without a photo:
Now that the movie has been released world-wide, how many of our S-T readers are going to see it? (Or have you already?)

An important announcement to all of our fans;
Thank you for continuing to support Dolly. We have an important announcement for everyone.
After our oneman performance on May 10th at Nippon Seinenkan, our guitarist Yuina took a break from band activities due to his poor health condition, however, we have decided that after our upcoming 2 DAYS oneman shows on November 4th and 5th at LIQUIDROOM Ebisu, Yuina will be leaving Dolly.
The idea was proposed by Yuina himself, and is the result of much discussion. We deeply apologize to everyone for making you worry and for the trouble.
There is not a lot of time left in our activities with the current five members, however, we hope that that you can, without change, continue to support Dolly.
