I just found out about this on Facebook, and I must say I'm excited to hear that the Maidens are returning to Japan. Does this also mean a new album is coming soon?

That Gundam statue was destroyed last summer...

Actually, the statue was disassembled and will be rebuilt in Shizuoka, where it will have a much better photo op due to its position in front of Mount Fuji.

BTW, any updates on the first leg of this tour?

From what I hear Kirsten has pink and blue streaks in her hair, striped socks that go just a little past her knees, in a skimpy ruffled skirt, and her ass is sagging downwards to her thighs and bows her head when saying hello and goodbye now, and carries a Hello Kitty purse wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt.

[Metallicat180]

And now for the bad news:

I've been chatting with Sara for the past two days. She's been sidelined with pneumonia and while she managed to perform the first show, she has to sit out on the rest of the tour. The "Maidens Day 1-2 Report" link on WeROCK City confirms this, as I've been able to Babelfish (translate) the text. A local guitarist named Satoru of the all-female band Suzaku has filled in Sara's spot for the meantime.

Sara, if you're reading this, GET WELL SOON!

Thanx for your great shows in Tokyo!!

You might be surprised to see the Japanese audiences making such a big noise,which means that we were welcoming you so much.
I hope that we can see some vids of these shows on youtube sooner or later.

Come back again to Japan so sooooooooon!!

 

[A7]

Glad you had fun with the Maidens, adachin.
