Hiya, kiddies! It’s your favorite Ernie here today with a little bit of laughter and joy for you guys and gals.
Have you ever wondered what Hiyori of 己龍 (Kiryu) looks like as an AKB member?
Let’s be honest with ourselves– you’d prefer to see me in that cute little outfit, sashaying around, but I’m sure Hiyori does it almost as well.
It seems that Hiyori did this in Sendai yesterday for Kiryu’s Instore. Lucky fans~!
What do you guys and gals think? Cosplaying v-kei guys is pretty popular, but how about v-kei guys cosplaying?
Annnnd, here’s another picture, just for the fun!

Hey guys! It’s been a while–but I know you’ve all missed good ol’ Big Ern and his random posts of Awesome.
Today’s Random Fact answers a question all us V-Kei fans ask at least once: What the heck happens to bandguys when their band disbands? Now, while I now spend my time lavishing away under the sun with a bowl of delicious carrots, not all bandguys follow in my footsteps. Last week we covered the “average Japanese lifestyle” of bandguys-to-salarymen… but this week it just isn’t so.
Anyone remember Remming ? They disbanded back in 2011 and the Singer, Sou, disappeared off the face of the planet…
Until now!
It seems Sou has popped back onto Ameblo recently and announced that he now works at a brand new Host Club Called “Nine” (or Nin9) down in Kabuki-cho, Shinjuku. That’s right– for the right amount of money, you can share drinks and smiles with him. He’s also put up some pictures of him at work, so check it out!
Big Ern just wants to remind you to be careful with host clubs, ladies and gents. Not everyone is as entertaining as me~!

It’s me, Ern! It’s been a while!
Do we have any old-school fans out there? I have some good news for you!
Just last month, Due’le quartz’s ex-vocalist, Sakito, popped back onto the radar with a new Ameba blog under his real name, Sakioki Hitoshi. From the looks of it he still has a day job as an educator, but his Ameba was created to go along with his pursuit of a stage acting career.
But that’s not all! It’s a two-for-one this time: one of Sakito’s first posts was about a wedding he attended, for former band mate and close friend, Kazuki!
Whether you decide to follow his blog or just poke around the entries, you’re in for plenty of nostalgia. It’s a rare treat to see what a retired bandman is doing so long after leaving the industry! So, old fans, what do you think?

Today’s random fact is about, well kinda, obsessions. If you don’t read artists’ blogs, you might not have noticed this.
Talking about BugLug, Issei really loves Disney, especially Mickey Mouse!
Do you know some more examples of extreme love? Do you have one yourself?
Ernie really loves carrots!

Even though exist†trace doesn’t have a fan club, did you know they recently started a fan community? And what’s better — it’s free! Originally, to sign up for the community, “VANGUARD”, fans had to go to a live and request a membership card at the merchandise booth, but the band has made it so members can also register online. Online registration has a ￥700 yen fee for handling charges (that means so they can mail the card to you!).
Membership is limited to residents of Japan, but it makes sense since the main function of the community is to get priority tickets to their shows.
With their fanbase growing overseas, who knows what the future might bring!

Are any of you familiar with the Golden Globe Awards show? Well guess which rocker has composed the theme song for the Golden Globe Awards this year? That’s right, it’s Yoshiki from XJapan! Let’s take a look at one of his recent tweets, shall we?☆
Yoshiki has released a little snippet of the song which is below:
Yoshiki stated that he wanted to create a beautiful yet edgy theme that fit the edginess and prestige of the Golden Globe Awards. Originally the song came out to be eight or so minutes, but the show only needs two minutes, so the song will be cut down quite a bit. What a shame! Maybe a full version will be released somewhere.
If you want to watch the Golden Globe awards it is on January 15th, which is this Sunday, at 8:00PM-11:00PM EST. Anyone planning on watching?

Today’s random fact will be dedicated to AYABIE as a little celebration of their second single. Yume has been tweeting back to his fans’ response to the news, and one of his fans had asked something quite interesting– they had asked if Yumehito would be playing the guitar in the upcoming new single. Here is his response!
Yumehito: I am playing a guitar solo!

Random Fact of the Day: Of J-rockers…and pocky?!

Hello everyone! How many of you know of Pocky Day? Well, Pocky Day in Japan is basically like another Valentine’s day, except you send your friends and loves boxes of Pocky instead of chocolates and roses!
It’s held annually on 11/11. Since this year is 2011, apparently the 11/11/11 made people a little more crazy over the holiday. The fun little holiday is actually more popular in Korea (it’s known as Pepero Day there), but it has a little bit of recognition in Japan as well. And guess which one of our rockers celebrates, or at least recognizes Pocky Day? It’s Kifumi of BORN! He actually tweeted about it♪
Pocky Day! Treat me favorably today as well!
So, have any of you received or given any pocky? Big Ern here received a whole bunch of pocky!!! I think I have enough to last me the whole year!
