My Sweet Darlin'

[boykun]

Ooh cover album. Tsumi to Batsu is quite a challenge, wondering how that will sound.

Interested in the Siam Shade cover also.

Woah, just noticed the guitarist is using a white ESP Horizon III. My dream guitar!

very interested in  1/3の純情な感情 Siam Shade cover done by girls, FLOW cover was very cool, but somehow there its no preview or anything

[twissie]

Haha, all the member blogs just got updated with the same message.

BLiSTAR is currently on hiatus, because MAYU has registered partnership with a guy and is pregnant 8D GJ MAYU~! ... wonder how long this hiatus will be, hope it won't be the end of BLiSTAR :/

Official statement: http://www.blistar.jp/?p=custom&id=13036564

[eilegz]

well if she its pregnant it will take a long time maybe a year =/

[twissie]

I just glanced through the messages, and if I'm reading things correctly, she is apparently already 6 months pregnant @_@; They've handled this situation very... weirdly. Very sudden for something that they must have been aware of for quite some time <,<;;

[soveryshiny]

Reads that way to me too, which is hilarious.

My first thought was "poor Rina" - MAYU always seemed a bit of a romantic, so I'm not surprised she went off with a guy if he makes her happy, and Nana-a at least finished college so she has that to fall back on.  Rina I can't see surviving long without a band.  I wonder if Gacharic could use a second guitarist (( ´^ิ益^ิ`)ｸｸｸｸ

[eilegz]

so wondering what happened with this band... its being a long time 

[twissie]

I haven't heard any news about BLiSTAR in ages, but I do know (thanks to twitter) that NANA-A is involved with a new band called The LEAPS. Also Gacharic Spin (Koga's new band) is still going strong, despite missing a front figure/vocalist.

[tsutomo]

wow! I gotta check this so called "The Leaps" soon. I was a big Pink Panda fan back in the days and meeting Nana-A again would be
