Big Ern here with yet another random fact of the day! Today we’re going to talk about the members of Kagrra,, and you know, I don’t think they’ve been featured as a random fact artist yet!
The Kagrra, members were each asked, “What’s something that’s recently on your mind?”
Isshi – The music industry from hereon in.
Akiya – When will I be able to go to outer space…
Shin – Tomorrow’s weather
Nao – I have severely stiff shoulders… (Laughs)
Izumi – Japanese politics. Their direction from now on.
What about you S-T readers, anything on your mind lately that you want to share?
We already gave you guys the heads up on Kagrra’s new album back in January. But they updated with the covers for the album and even posted a pv preview! What do you guys think of the preview? Isshi has some big hair but you know what, I think I like it! The feel of the pv is really nice, I am excited about this release! AND I love the duel covers they have been doing for awhile.
