Hey guys!
So, at the Xmas Live there were a TON of surprises for us Stereopony fans. I'm not going to get into detail about everything.
One surprise was the opening. Before the show, we noticed that there was a different guitar than usual on AIMI's side of the stage. It was blue with white polka-dots so I thought ''ooh, Christmas guitar!'' and I noticed there was another black guitar set up on MAO's side but I didn't think much of it.
When the show started, everything was normal as usual like the other lives. The lights dimmed, the fans cheered, but instead of SE or Introduction playing... it was some different music. In my head I was all like ''oh ok, maybe it's something special for Christmas.''
And I believed it when I saw SHIHO walk out onto stage and JUMP onto the mini-stage where her drums were set. Then NOHANA walked out to her usual position and grabbed her bass. Then MAO walked out to her spot. Everything normal.
But then... some new girl with wavy hair, sorta like SHIHO's old style, walked out with a mic and mic stand. In my mind I was like ''what? A collaboration?'' Then a fifth girl walked out, who sort of looked like AIMI in the dark but I knew it wasn't her. She had long red hair and was too tall to be AIMI.
Then the lights turned on and the show started. They performed 3 songs and introduced themselves as Draft King. Then all 5 of them walked off stage and we had a short intermission.
What do you guys think? Do you like the sound of this?

They're surely their new band. Or it's no sense to perform before the Christmas Live.

Well, I'm happy for MAO that she finally has her own band and that NOHANA and SHIHO look like they can continue their careers. So all what's left is to make sure AIMI will be ok.

Neither. It was like a typical Stereopony song since NOHANA and SHIHO were there, but the songs they played were more Pop-Rock-ish. The vocals weren't as great as AIMI obviously since the other girls are less-experienced, probably MAO's age too.

Hm, it seems a bit inappropriate to promote your new band while your old band is in the process of breaking up. I'm glad that Nohana and Shiho will still have a band (not named Evanpony) to play in, though, because they are really talented.
