dear-lnovel

Ah, fresh meat. There’s a new band in town and they go by the name of Dear L’Novel (ディアーラ　ノベル) Hailing from Osaka, this band is fairly new as they have formed September this year and begun activities in October. Much like any other band, their concept is that every member has a specific desire/meaning that produces a story.

Vocal—kazuho
Guitar—英-hide-
Bass—pochi
Drums—kiyo
