Tokyo News
The Angels have done it again. Their new album, 'Haven,' went platinum within its first week of sales. What is it about these girls, however, that captures the intrigue and interest of the world? Tokyo News takes a deeper look.
The lead singer of the group is Hino Rei. Hino is known more popularly as the 'Angel of Fire.' On top of putting her sweet voice on center stage, she is also depended on by the other girls as the melodic accompaniment on keyboard. Being brought up at the Hikawa Shrine, the raven-haired priestess aspired to becoming Head Priestess of this shrine while experimenting with music with her friends. She has been writing her own music for quite a period of time now, since the young age of thirteen, and her first performed song was called 'O Starry Night,' which was performed at a local school fair. Her silky voice and swift fingers attribute to the group's signature sound.
Tsukino Usagi, the 'Angel of Innocence,' is the bass guitarist of the group, although it is rumored that her voice rivals that of Hino's. The two have been best friends for almost ten years now, but the rest of the group is quick to note that they fight like cats. The girls are quoted saying that they were, to say the least, utterly surprised when they found out that Tsukino had mastered the bass. She was, and is, a very light-hearted, happy person; her personality was a complete antithesis of the stereotypical bassist. The fans, however, don't seem to have a problem with it. Loud bursts of cheers never fail to appear whenever the Angels get to Tsukino's solo on stage. When asked about her unique hairstyle, she claims that she had instinctively started styling her hair as such when she was about seven, shrugging that she had no clue where the idea came from.
Next in line is Tsukino's cousin, Aino Minako, the 'Angel of Love and Beauty.' The nickname is attributed by her previous career as a small time actress and model. A few years after meeting the rest of the Angels, she returned to public eye with her friends. On the flute, she gives a haunting harmony to The Angels' songs. The blonde beauty laughs at the memory of despising flute lessons, but assures the world that she no longer regrets them.
Mizuno Ami might possibly be the most exceptional member of the group. While yes, all the Angels are dazzling; Mizuno's intellect surpasses the average human mind by far. Her sharp mind suits her nickname of the 'Angel of Wisdom.' But what, you may ask, is a person of her intellect doing in the music business? The group's publicist says that Mizuno does her university courses by correspondence, and stays in the band for emotional and financial interests. Playing the violin, Mizuno performs wonderfully during each show. Her fiddling is the highlight of The Angels' slow, memorable songs, and adds a unique twist to their fast songs.
Kino Makoto supplies the slow, mood inducing and fast, pacing beats. Towering the other girls at an amazing height of 6'0", her aggressive attitude is completely in sync with her percussion instruments. Drums, chimes, and tambourines are the favorite instruments of the once named 'Karate Maniac.' Asking if she was offended by the nickname of the 'Angel of Havoc,' Kino laughed good-naturedly and noted that she was the one who had primarily suggested it. The original name used by the press was the 'Amazon Angel,' but it didn't fit with the formatted names of the others, nor did Kino think of herself as an Amazon.
As amazing as it may be, none of these five beautiful and talented girls have boyfriends; and as young as they are, all twenty-four years of age, none of them have come across anyone who seems special. They each claim that they just didn't seem to 'click' with the guys they dated. As Tsukino was once quoted, "[We'll] know when the person is right for us. It's almost like an instinct. Someone out there's calling for [us.] We just haven't met them yet!"

Here we go girls, Teen Beat's exclusive short on the guys of Pitch!
Chiba Mamoru, the total hottie leader of this fab band, is twenty-seven years old. He's the lead singer and guitarist, but Jeido has told us in private (shh!) that he's a really great drummer, too! Is there anything this hunk can't do? Mamoru started playing the guitar when he was thirteen. The guys have even told us that he used to woo girls with his skills! As if his drool-some looks weren't enough!
Moesakaru Jeido is the hot, sandy blond-haired drummer. The guys tell us that his nickname from his childhood is "Jed." How totally cute is that? The word around the grapevine is that he would have been the lead singer if he weren't playing the drums. Write the boy some fan mail, girls, and help us convince him to sing! What wouldn't you give to have this gorgeous boy serenading you? The boy seems to be too in love with his drums! And I quote, "Think about how hard it would be to sing while you're moving your body around, slamming sticks into drums? I couldn't give up my drums." What a perfect Jed-ism!
Kiraboshi Kyoshi is the 'serious' one, but that doesn't dim his radiant looks down any! One thing's for sure though, even his god-like looks pale in comparison to the wicked things he does with his bass guitar! His solo on Pitch's last tour sent girls all across the world swooning! His deep voice went really well with the deep melodies of the bass, and in short, it was d-r-e-a-m-y!
Shiro Zakari is very studious, exactly the type of boy your parents wouldn't mind seeing you date! But then again, his charming looks might make them think twice! People have said that he's dating the Angel of Wisdom, Mizuno Ami, from The Angels, but he says, as if! They haven't even met! Perfecting his new technique on the keyboard takes up all his time! But I'm sure we all agree: if the two were ever to go out, they'd make the absolute cutest couple in the history of music business!
Tentou Nikko always bugs that he constantly gets ragged on about his long hair. He says that it's just not fair! Just because he's not as serious as Kyoshi is, he's the one that gets criticized! Well, I don't know about you girls, but his long, auburn hair is definitely something that sends chills up my spine! Nik-chan won SO many hearts on Pitch's last concert tour with his solo in the song "Pieces of Me," and especially with his saxophone's grand finale! That boy can blow MY horn any day!
Music News
The world-renowned boy band, Pitch, has reached platinum yet again. Coming from Millennium Music, or MM, the same management as The Angels, they are presently rivaling for the top spot on the worldwide music charts. The songs "Eternity" by The Angels, and "Beyond this Life" by Pitch have been battling for the number one spot on music charts all over the world. In Japan, the two songs have been switching spots every week! The Angels one week, Pitch the next.
The world audience holds its breath, waiting for the moment the victor of this Battle of the Bands to emerge. It is said that the bands' lack of encounter is due to their management. With all the brouhaha that has been accumulating, the bands' first encounter will definitely be one to keep its audience guessing. When will the bands finally meet?
-*-
Author's Notes: So...how'd you like? The idea came to me when I was thinking bout the 'Battle of the Bands,' this old radio station promo, and well, we'll see how this story turns out.
[July 22, 2002] Welp, it's been more than a year since I last touched this, so I thought I might as well do some touch up, if I want to finish the story. ^^
