Its always great when someone meets their hero. Today’s fact comes from BAN of Lolita 23q, when he met someone he holds a great deal of respect for.

“[...]that I got to meet Trevor Brown. I saw him recently, just last year. His art was in a show, and he happened to be there. It was so amazing to meet him! I love his work– it’s beautiful and grotesque, sweetand poisonous. I even have one of his pictures glued to my bass drum! I could get along with anyone who likes Trevor Brown’s stuff.”

I would like to meet Yanni! His music speaks to my inner soul!

M.cry’s support member changes

mcrys-support-member-changes

M.cry, who recently lost their guitarist Asato, announced that their support guitarist Sachi has also left the band due to not being able to take part in their activities as well as before.

However, Zakuro formerly of Ren has taken Sachi’s place as M.cry’s support guitarist, and at their next live they will be a four-piece band consisting of Kou on vocals, Zakuro on guitar, Yuki on bass and Ryou on drums.

The band asks everyone to continue supporting them as well as Sachi from now on too.

On another note, Sachi has recently started as a roadie for Lolita 23q, so let’s wish him luck with that!

I’m really glad that M.cry is still continuing, even though they’ve now had two different guitarists despite their being only a few months old as a band. Let’s hope they’ll develop into something bigger eventually!

EDIT: Actually, I just checked Sachi’s OHP and mixi and he no longer has anything up about his being Lolita23q’s roadie, even though he just started it a while ago… So I’m not sure if he’s their roadie anymore.

Its that time again, time for the random fact of the day. You know, one of the best features around. Why is that? Its all about me, Big Ern. Today we are going to talk about secrets. Everyone has a secret or two, right? Some of them are more serious than others. BAN from Lolita 23q has a secret of is own. See for yourself…

BAN: My secret is, I sit when I take a shower.

Everyone: What?!

BAN: From a long time ago, I got into the habit of sitting, and even now I haven’t grown out of it (Laughs)

Okay ST readers….do you sit down to shower?? Seriously, I can’t imagine it. Every time I try I just get the mental image of someone curled up in the bottom of a tub crying all emo like was water cascades off their body.

On another note, I’d like to remind everyone that the contest deadline is tomorrow! Please get your submissions in if you want to participate.

Today’s fact is a very interesting one!

Ryousuke from Lolita 23q seems to be quite the traveller! In an interview when the band was talking about travelling he said,

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!

I like travelling too! The place I want to go most right now is to the Ross Dependency. Or Queen Maud Land. Or Siberia.

random-fact-of-the-day

Turns out the girl to your left has caused some heart-break in the visual world. Who is she? A Japanese idol named Nozomi Tsuji and she has been in various girl groups such as Morning Musume and Hello! Project.

Well, in May of 2007, news of her engagement to actor Taiyo Sugira was announced and the wedding date was set for June 17th. Also, it turned out that she was pregnant which lead many to believe it was a “shot-gun marriage”. Regardless, this caused some trauma for two specific visual band members.

First, we had Mamo from R-15 with his depressed journal entry. Then, in an interview with SHOXX the members of Lolita 23q (jokingly) revealed that BAN’s poor heart was broken when he found out she was getting married.

For translations of the appropriate entries, please see under the cut!

Keep on going, more under the cut. »

cdjapan-at-illusion08

Now we don’t post live reviews on S~T.net buuuuut I just wanted to point out that CDJapan did write an entry back in January about ILLUSION’08 here. Just interesting reading this since the CDJapan blogger didn’t really know the bands before hand, so you get a different kind of review. AND they meantioned Noriko Shoji is 73?!? Really? She acts so young XD!! The entry even mentioned about Mao (Sadie) being hospitalized before the show.

Six bands were reviewed - Lolita23q, Sadie, lynch., Moi dix Mois, D’espairsRay and Plastic Tree.
