There's been no word from rest of the girls.

 

Below's excerpt from Wikipedia.

 

Takayo Ookoshi (大越貴代, Ookoshi Takayo) —vocals, guitar & leader (1999–2003)
Miyu Nagase (長瀬実夕, Nagase Miyu)—lead vocals & guitar (1999–2005, 2011–2013)
Mizuho Saito (斎藤瑞穂, Saito Mizuho)—vocals, drums & leader (1999–2005)
Maiko Sakae (栄舞子, Sakae Maiko)—vocals & bass guitar (1999–2005, 2011–2013)
Tomoka Nishimura (西村朝香, Nishimura Tomoka)—vocals & guitar (2004–2005, 2011)

 

Mizuho got married so busy with family life.

Maiko is into Yoga and has a baby.

Tomoka announced she had health problems and no word since.

Miyu disappeared.

Takayo supposedly went solo and disappeared as well.

 

I wonder if the girls keep in touch.  I'm sure some of them do....

I wonder what it's about though hehe..

[rurupedia]

not sure if this is appropriate for this thread or if it would go somewhere else, but i know h!o has dedicated zone fans so hopefully this is alright lol
 
anyway i was at a secondhand store today and i found this zone cd, i went on generasia to find the tracklist but there isn't anything on it. looking it up didn't find anything else either. upon further inspection of the cd itself this seems to have been a taiwan exclusive release, which might explain why i can't find info on it, but yeah otherwise idk anything about it. i'm asking here just in case someone knows about it, any information is appreciated haha
 
here's some pictures, sorry about the poor quality lol

^ That's most likely a bootleg.

[rurupedia]

thats what i suspected based on the white jewel case haha. i ripped the disc and the tracks surprisingly don't sound like shit so i'll keep it, i need to listen to zone anyway lol

[TotallyUncool]

That's definitely a pirate special!  I've run into a few other pirated collections on that label (I think I have one by Tomosaka Rie).  In a way, they're kind of thorough - they include both B-sides and backing tracks.

if you do get some time to listen to Zone, I'd suggest some of their later singles (not listed on that CD) as well, including Akashi, Hanabi, True Blue, and Boku no Tegami.

[rurupedia]

ahh i see, thats pretty cool. even if its a bootleg its good to have as a compilation of their early stuff i guess, so i'm glad i got it. i'll definitely be sure to check out their later stuff too

[Teck]

Anything Zone related is appreciated here.

Genki everyone?

 

I had my Phizer BioNTech vaccine shot on May 1 and 23 here in Singapore, how about you guys?  Currently only Moderna and Phizer have been approved for use here under the National Vaccine program.  Sinovac was just approved for use by Private Healthcare.

 

[TotallyUncool]

I just had my second Moderna shot - and that's a great song to celebrate it with!

[Kurolivier]

Just to let the topic knows that Sony Music Japan has uploaded on their YouTube channel the Zone clips.

[TotallyUncool]

And it looks like maybe they aren't region-locking the videos (at least they're available in the U.S.).

 

[ItsudemoAibon]

Hello? Anyone? Just dropped by to announce that it appears that Maiko is preggers again!
