Random Fact of the Day

People have secrets.

When Yuusei from THE KIDDIE was asked to reveal a secret about the other members, he said, “We’re all idiots”.

Yuudai on the other hand said, “Everyone is an honest, good, kid”.

Hmm. I’m going to start thinking about what secrets from the S-T staff I can reveal….

THE KIDDIE on live activity pause

the-kiddie-on-live-activity-pause

THE KIDDIE has announced that after their live on April 12th, they will go on an indefinite pause of live activities. The reason is that their vocailist Yusa has two pollyps in his throat that need to be removed by surgery, and they’re taking time off from lives for Yusa to recover.

However, they do say in their blog that they’re going to continue underground activities even when they’re on a live break, and that they will definitely come back as soon as Yusa is healthy again, so this doesn’t mean they’re disbanding or even going for a real pause.

Yusa also says that he’s been introduced to a very good doctor and the surgery itself is a simple one, but since they don’t know how it will turn out, they will decide when to resume activities afterwards when they know better.

He says he will return to stage no matter what, and asks everyone to welcome him with a smile again when he comes back.

Hopefully the surgery goes well, and Yusa will be fully recovered!
