Author Topic: (Band) THE PINK PANDA / BLiSTAR (Read 54189 times)

GREAT!!!! i love them, i found this forum occasionally and when i saw this thread, i had to register!

pinpan is one of my favorite bands, they rock. mayou is energetic, koga slaps greatly her bass and nana-a... well she has a peculiar way for playing the drums.

i have all their stuff and just dislike their mini-album panda. too pop-ish and kawaii-ish. their other are awesome, specially some songs like go go girl, fly up, monopolizer and mai agare. i have also a t-shirt and a sports towel of them. ^^ i watched pinpan live once, at 28th february. and i'm very proud that nana-a wrote about me and the quick conversation we had in her blog (u can see in the archives, i guess). she is really adorable, she came to me and thanked for my support after the show (i coloured my hair with pink spray that night and shouted a lot!) and i found that so sympathetic...

i also spoke to koga a little. it was difficult because my japanese is really poor and so is their english.

i won't never forget that night and i hope they continue releasing great stuff. someday i hope to meet them live again too!

*oh, and the new single "wake up" is more punk-ish than the older stuff, i liked it a lot!

*ahhh thanks for their guy that posted their photos here! i really liked that one that has mayou and maya (from midnightpumpkin). maya is soooo sweet.

So I saw Chopper Koga in that new band and was wondering what happened to the rest of them. They're still together lol. But with no bassist and a different name.

They're BLiSTAR now.

I just heard a couple songs of them time ago (I have Panda in my computer and I didn't know it

)
That new pv looks pretty cool and the vocalist's voice sounds more polished

I wonder if anyone can share the mini album, I'd love to hear it!

I'm not familiar with the Pink Panda, but that Blistar clip sounds pretty cool

gotta keep an eye on them.

Not the same without Koga, lol. I hope they get a bassist soon.

BLiSTAR has had a twitter for quite some time (http://twitter.com/BLiSTAR/), but now each individual band member has created their own! Fun stuff~

Okay, so I listened to B, and it is brilliant! Wow, I've missed Mayu's vocals. Sure, they've lost some of the quirkiness they had as Pinpan, but this is still solid stuff!

And just as I decided to add their shared blog (on the official site) to my rss feed, news tick in on their twitter that the members have started individual ameblo blogs again! Huzzah! Mayu's first post sports awesome pictures too!

Nice to meet you
I'm Mayu, vocalist in BLiSTAR!
I'm on ameblo now
I'm incredibly happy to finally have returned to ameblo
So welcome to MAYU's blog "Lightening Girl"
Some of you wiseguys might say that "Girl" doesn't fit me
Well.... well, I stand majestically like a girl of eternity *
But doesn't "Lightning" fit me very well? Every day is LIGHTENING LIFE for me!

Oh and yes, yes
All of a sudden! Yesterday we made the announcement that we'll be releasing our first single, "Tokyo Lightening" under Crown on August 4!

I'm so happy
I'm so excited

The pictures and the blog banner are from a photoshoot we did.

Here I am with guitarist RINA (picture above)

Body shot with complete outfit

The clothes worn for this photoshoot are more similar to my own style than the last photshoot we did
The boots are my own. Dr. Martens!

The location was really wonderful too

Well, until next time

Me and make-up guy 谷やん

See ya!
