With just hours to go til the main event, Primetrade Asia and the Best of Anime 2012 treated friends in both traditional and new media to special press event with Guests of Honor — Japanese band Uchuu Sentai NOIZ.

The band game answered questions from the press and their fans, including some of ours here at magnetic-rose.net.

How did you guys meet and start up the band?

Uchuu Sentai NOIX (USN): We just sort of met each other from friends of friends — when we heard rumours of people who could play really well and we tried to recruit them. This current line-up is only about three years old — we’ve been through a number of changes over the years.

Besides music, what are your hobbies?

Kotaro: fortunetelling and the occult
Kyo: fishing, cooking, plamodel assembly, watching anime, playing videogames
Angel Taka: raising plants
Yamato: puzzle games and Rubiks cubes
Masato: composing and listening to dance music

Do you have a short message for your Manila fans?

USN: We hope our fans in Manila have a lot of fun — whether it is Davao or Manila, where ever the fans go crazy, we will too!
