Hello everyone~! Big Ern here again with the random fact of the day.

Today’s random fact comes from Takeru of DEPAIN.
Takeru says is favourite dish is…..

I admit, cherries are delicious.. but they are not nearly as good as my beloved carrots! If he’s a fruit psycho..then I’m a carrot psycho! Is anyone else overzealous about their favourite foods?

Hello, long time everyone! I’m sorry, I went off temporarily to save the universe from certain doom! So I didn’t write random fact for some days… But, I’m back now with today’s random fact!
Today’s random fact is about Show from LOST ASH ………and shampoo.

In his blog he wrote that he’s recently changed to using pantene shampoo and conditioner and he’s pretty smitten with the results, as he believes it’s improved his hair a bit since he’s started.
Show then went on to tell a story of when he once mistook body soap for shampoo and it made his hair VERY squeaky ( ̄□ ̄;)!!
I hate when one makes such mistakes! Has anyone else done that? I can’t say I’ve done it with shampoo..but I’ve certainly mistaken things for other things before!

If you had three wishes, what would you wish for:
① To grow 1cm
② To grow 1cm more

I’m a small bunny but a few more inches to my height would be awesome!!

Sana who is now in Seven did a cute interview with CURE while he was acting as a solo artist. Two questions and answers I really loved were these:
Q. When do you think, “Ahh, I’m so cute!”?
When I make stray a cat run away
Q. When do you think, ”Ugh, I’m an idiot!”?
When I make a stray cat run away
Sana…is random. As long as he doesn’t try to scare bunnies off we can be friends.

I almost forgot that he lost his sister a while back ;-; give positive energy to Jui you guys!

Traveling is a popular topic among bands and their fans. Bands want to meet so many international fans and a few of you lucky fans do tend to travel to Japan to see bands perform! Lets see what Lolita 23q’s Ryousuke had to say about traveling.
Ryousuke: I like it. My parents also like travelling, and so they often took me on trips. I think I’ve been to something like 10 or so countries. Out of all the places I’ve been, I like Asia, so the next place I want to go to most is Cambodia. By nature, I’m interested in historic ruins, and when I saw this movie about Angkor Wat, I was really impressed. So, of course in my life I want to go to see Angkor Wat!

Well well well, it’s time for today’s random fact!
Today we’re going to be talking about favorite books.
akiya who is now in the new band, AUBE, states that his favorite type of book to read is Greek mythology!
That’s pretty cool. I personally like to read do-it-yourself books. Nothing makes you feel more accomplished than knowing that in theory you can build your very own deck!
What do all of our readers like to read?

Did you know that Megaromania’s release Transparent Shine’s first track (with the same name as the title) was actually composed by Kisaki? Even though the music was composed by Kisaki – Sui still wrote the lyrics. Its great to see a producer being so involved.

Today we’re going to talk about time travel!
Before, we talked about where yuh of vistlip would travel if he had a time machine…
However, when asked the same question, his band mate Tomo said, “No way, it’s better if you don’t go. Because it seems like you could die from complications [with the machine]“.
That’s a safe way of looking at it…
