The Official Draft King Thread

[GUILD]

Welcome to the

thread on OneHallyu!

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the regrettable disbandment of Stereopony, a band that had been active for about four years, its members Nohana (Bass) and Shiho (Drums) are finally beginning new activities!

 

With these two as the center — adding in 19-year-olds Erica, with a very individual style of vocals, and Mao on guitar — who just had her coming-of-age ceremony this year — this band’s average age is 20-years-old; it’s an all girl rock band.

 

Draft King first performed at Stereopony's STEREOPONY Lovers X'mas Live Final on 24 December 2012 as the opening act for the show, just three days before Stereopony's STEREOPONY Final Live BEST of STEREOPONY. After their performance, they announced themselves as a new band and would be performing at Mix UP!! vol.49 on 19 January 2013.

 

Both Nohana and Shiho were members of the former rock band Stereopony. Mao was also involved with Stereopony, working with the band as a support guitarist for most of 2012 up until Stereopony's final live.

 

 

 

 

As of August 8th, 2016, erica, who had been having second thoughts about pursuing a singing career left the band. She had her last performance as a member of Draft King in "Draft King One Man Live ~A Live is Only Once~" on August 7th.

 

 

The band showed no signs of slowing down however and opened up auditions for a new vocalist on September 1st, 2016. Details can be found here: http://en.verygooddays.com/2016/09/01/draft-king-announces-auditions-next-vocalist/

Any news from girls?

There's actually a lot, but I'm trying to figure out a way to post it. I could either go back to the very beginning, or just start posting info and news from a little later? What do you think?

Would it be too much to start from the beginning? If so, just go from now and I shall google  my own stuff lol

Nohana looks diff from her pics on stereopony, I was looking for the other stereopony ex- member and could not find her lol

I'll try. It's obviously better to have some help but yeah, I'll do that since it'll only help build the thread.

 

Do you mean AIMI or were you referring to NOHANA? Or maybe MAO? She was actually only a support guitarist during the period when AIMI was suffering from a throat polyp. Interestingly enough though, she featured in the "Stand By Me" Music Video.

Yeah Nohana Kitajima is NOHANA if that's what you're asking..?

 

NOHANA

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ah might you talking about Hiddy? She actually left the group earlier on before the band got started and is now a solo artist.

I'm thinking of just doing a timeline in the OP and continue with current news in the thread rather than posting all of this stuff, because it seems kinda awkward to post these things now. You can find all news about the band by googling VeryGoodDays or their tumblr anyhow
