Full Name: Kitajima Nohana (北島 乃花) Hometown: Shimabara, Nagasaki Birthday: September 16, 1989 Height: 158 cm
Kitajima Nohana was born on September 16, 1989 in Shimabara, Nagasaki, Japan. She is 158 cm tall, equal to SHIHO, and likes meat, rice, noodles and sweets. She lists seafood and mushrooms amongst her disliked food. Her hobbies include collecting Marimokkori, shopping5, and Twitter3. Her favorite anime is a rabbit and likes cats over dogs, although she's allergic to cats7 and would like to perform at Budokan, all over America5, and space1. She likes everything from Shounen to Shoujo Manga1, and is a fan of Sailor Moon like AIMI and Bleach like her collegues6. According to SHIHO, she has a messy room3. Her favorite American artist is Lady Gaga5, and her favorite Japanese artist is Namie Amuro, who she also lists as her inspiration to get into music.3 She mentioned at Sakura-Con 2012 that she's always sleepy.
She says that unlike her collegues, she always wanted to pursue a career in music1, and chose the bass because it has such few strings5
AIMI and NOHANA met at Nini's studio in Okinawa, and recruited Shiho to play drums as Aimi and her were classmates in high school. Saki Shinjou joined as well and they formed MIXBOX, a cover band with some original content. After winning a music contest in Okinawa, and appearing on School of Lock!, the band was signed by Sony and changed their name to STEREOPONY to avoid conflict with a band with the same name.

Zero, I found it quite funny that Tomomi from SCANDAL had a similar answer:
"I tried guitar but eight strings is hard! So I thought, maybe bass will be different because it has only four strings" (I'm going with what Tomomi herself said because the translator said "easier", but Tomomi after she said it chimed in "different")
Shiho seemed a little tired on Sunday though. Someone tried to high five her I think and she wasn't having it.
Aimi and Nohana seemed to still have some energy in them to give thumbs up and peace signs though.
I'm a Aimi fan moreso, but I thought Nohana was hot when she came out for the encore on Friday...
Someone should tell her the hairstyle's working!

Quite agree! She was pretty already but even better with bangs! Fun to see the comments about her funny side, just look what she did to me in my picture! Wonderful! On a more serious note: during the Q&A session at Sakura-con I heard that she's engaged. Does anyone here know more about that? Who's the lucky guy? Have they picked a date? Has she said anything about what she'll do after she gets married? My biggest worry is that she might leave the band, like Mākii from High-and-Mighty-Color did when she got married...

That was just a joke. She's not really engaged.  Someone proposed to her at the Q and A, but it was just in good fun.

Well, technically two because another guy challenged the first for Nohana's hand, her reply was "Do your best." So I guess it's first come first serve for her! Yeah, I made that mistake too when RS put up the word for word Q&A in addition to my notes and I was like, "What? Nohana has a boyfriend?" And the others were like, "No Des, you were there, remember the guy that "proposed" to Nohana? Aimi was kidding." The "wedding" was going to take place on Sunday, since Nohana replied, "Okay! Tommorow!" (We think Shiho told her to say that) I turned to RS and said, "Hey, they're leaving tommorow right?" So presumably Ms. Kitajima would leave the poor guy at the altar while she and her girl friends sneak back to Japan... OH! It's off the subject of Nohana but it's about High and Mighty Color. They may be gone but there's another rocking Okinawan band that's well under the radar but worth a look called FLiP, there's a section for them in "Music" and "Groups". They have a new album coming out early this month, but their second and third singles and their first album are already out. Their indie albums are good too if you can track them down...(I had to go through Jpopsuki) We now return to our regularly scheduled Nohana discussion...

Nohana mentioned she's recording a ponyraiji episode! But then there was this picture ...so maybe we'll get a video ponyraiji. I won't complain if that's the case. It seems to me that Nohana is the most involved with Ponyraiji. It's kind of her domain, and I think she does a really good job. I'm kind of surprised too since she seems the most shy to me out of the three. Now if I could just understand what she's saying...

Really? Out of the three I thought that would be Shiho...during animenext and animeboston it seemed that nohana and aimi were the ones to talk the most, I remember Nohana mentioning that she liked some kpop songs and danced in her chair a little (to Mister by Kara).
For some reason out of the three, I feel that nohana's personality is more outgoing xD

Ok, that's a relief! I missed the start of the Q&A but was there in time to hear the second proposal and challenge, so I was confused.

hmm could be a possibility, but I think it's just nohana recording her part of the song (chorus, backup, etc.). I'd be happy with either to be honest

maybe the lead is already finished, which is why AIMI didn't need to go to Los Angeles? A stretch... but maybe haha.

if thats true, why did the other girls have to go to LA to record the rest? why not stay in japan and record it then send it to LA? well this is assuming that Aimi is recording the lead vocals...

本日もEVANとの作業です。その前に恒例となった外MEETINGです。今日は、NOHANAが話しかけられるくらいに、有名になり始めてます。本人はスカウトされたと言ってます!!!
Translation Curtosy of Hirotana
Also today, we work with Evan. We've held meeting recently outside (cafe?). NOHANA is going to be famous as she was spoken to. She said she tried to be Scouted!! (Scout in Japanenglish means "catch by a job hunter to be a entertainer or dancer, sometimes adult video actress" xD)
