Let's get this thread going too... I first heard of Stereopony through a friend who showed me the PV for "Tsukiakari no Michishirube." Putting my love-at-first-sight with AIMI aside, here are my thoughts of SHIHO at first. At first glance, I thought SHIHO was a guy because of the short hair and the fact that she was on drums. Back then I wasn't really much of a music person so I didn't follow any bands like I do now, so the idea of a girl playing drums for a rock band never crossed my mind (heck, an entire rock band consisting of all girls is pretty rare in general). So, when I found out SHIHO was a girl too, I just thought that Stereopony was the coolest thing ever. An all-girl Japanese rock band...
To me, what struck me regarding the band is SHIHO. In fact, though I find AIMI beautiful if not cute and also great musician with NOHANA being a good bass player, still, it is SHIHO that I first saw and always watches with how she plays her drums. I was amazed with her as we have here a young woman playing badass drums in a world where men heavily and regularly dominates such scenes. As a result, she inspired me to at least start playing and learning drums during my free time (which is rare). Well, what can I say, that woman is a great player! And I do hope that a time will come that the three women will once more create and play great music together, even if for a brief time.
This is true, most girl drummers in bands I've been introduced to (Negoto, SCANDAL, Silent Siren, FLiP), have really long hair or neck length hair, Shiho's is much shorter and very boyish. In fact, the drummer from SHISHAMO reminds me of Shiho! I wish that the three would get back together even briefly for a reunion concert, but in the meantime you can make due with wannasalad and I's trip down Memory Lane as we eventually make it completely through Stereopony's entire discography! Except we're on hiatus again...can we at least get the last LookBack before she went on hiatus up?
Sorry, Destonus. It was published but I didn't realize it wasn't displaying on the homepage, but it's there now: <a class="postlink" href="http://en.verygooddays.com/12084/lookback-stereopony-music-vol-11/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://en.verygooddays.com/12084/lookba ... ic-vol-11/</a> You need to mark the category "LookBack" for it to appear on the page or else it won't show. Anyways, back on topic... Well, since I mentioned Shiho's hair in my last post... Have you guys noticed how long it has gotten now compared to before?
Ahhh she's so beautiful :m201: Her face is sculpted from beauty cloud of the gods!! :m215: And her hairstyles are on point.
