A few words about the Hangry & Angry article.
I first met the girls last October at an event in Harajuku Kiddyland. I pitched them as a possible story after reading the VIZ press release about the live-action Death Note movies being licensed in the U.S. In the movie, Misa is a girl who likes h.NAOTO and H&A, so H&A plushies appear in her room, and she uses a H&A pen to write in her Death Note. (h.NAOTO was in charge of Misa’s costumes and room decorations.)
The animal suit H&As were taken at a “designer visit” event at the hEAVEN store last December. (h.NAOTO has these days when their designers visit the shops. If you buy enough stuff, you get to have a polaroid taken with them, and get it stuck on an autographed card.) This was the first time I met Gashicon-san. Since then, blood and H&A have swapped stores, and H&A stuff are now sold at the H store.
I submitted the article in January. Unfortunately, the band disbanded in August. I did notify SB right away, but I guess it was too late for corrections to be made.
