Nov, 2011
Well, BADDIES are a band quite hard to understand, aren’t they?
Hana Shounen BADDIES are going to an activity pause after their autumn tour 「Boys Ride Bicycle」. However, the activity pause refers to doing live shows exclusively, so they will continue on doing media work, writing blogs, recording etc. They plan on coming back in 2012 and then releasing a full album titled 『Bible』. They also state that one of the things on their “to do” list during the activity pause is curing Hiroshi’s cavity (lol).
Billy is coming back! They will hold only 2 lives on 14th and 15th January, both in Ikebukuro Black Hole. The lives are titled “Saturday Night Insanity” and “Marigold of Despair”
On 18th January they will release a single as Billy. The release is named 「マリゴールド」 (Marigold) and will come in 3 types:
【Limited type [CD+DVD]】

A new band for Billy’s members !!!
30
Apr, 2009
A little while ago, we announced you that ビリー (Billy) had shut down their activities on February 22nd. However the band said they would be back, even though we didn’t know if it meant many different bands or just one new band, or basically… a name change.
And we finally got some news from them ! And a good one by the way ! All the members are back in a new band called 花少年バディーズ (Hana Shounen Baddies) , and they’ve just opened their website today ! Their new concept is basically about delinquancy and the pain the young people feels in their heart… but the main buzzword seems to be “freedom”.
It seems that they don’t want to lose time, as they will perform for the first time on May 3rd in Nagoya for a really nice event (which will also mark the end of ASS’n'ARRow) :
花少年バディーズ (Baddies) / chariots / ネガ (Nega) / ClearVeil / Arc / Sugar /愛狂います。(Aicle) / cocklobin / DELUHI / Lycaon / ALiBi / Jewel / ASS’n’ARRow～あすなろ～ / Lupo Label
Even better, the band has already announced their very first release ! A single called 『Blue Bad Boy』 that will be released on July 22nd !It will be available in two versions, one with three tracks and one with two tracks + a PV for the title song.
And finally, here is their first look !

Random Fact of the Day
27
Dec, 2008
Before I get to the random fact of the day, I have a confession to make.
The contest results must be pushed back one more day, because of the way I want to do them. I want you all to hear my sexy, sexy voice… and tomorrow I have to run out for a new mic to record the results.
Stone me, if you must for making such a delay! I know people are waiting in anticipation, but I promise from the bottom of my little heart, that they’ll be here tomorrow and in FULL AUDIO SURROUND SOUND.
Now, onto the regularly scheduled random fact.
Today’s is about sleep. And as you know, sleep is verryyy important! However, when asked what time he wakes up and goes to sleep, Mine from Billy answered that… he doesn’t sleep! Of course, he’s exaggerating because he soon after answered that the first thing he does when he gets up in the morning is smoke.
How about you my faithful S-T readers? What are you sleeping habits and morning routines like?

Its that time again, random fact of the day! Today’s random fact is about Takuma from Billy. What does it involve? Computers! When he was asked if he was a MAC person or a PC person and he said he didn’t have a computer.
