Here’s a world without borders, restrictions or dilemmas Four exciting singles later, we have finally reached another milestone here in OverView: Stereopony’s second full album. But before talking about this record, I would like to reflect upon its components for a while. For example, we could start by talking about the singles that made an appearance there. We have four …

Somewhere in the past, there are memories left behind riding on the wind… As usual, I am inclined to agree with my counterpart; “OVERDRIVE” the song, just like “OVERDRIVE” the video, feels like a summer drive to the beach. I can imagine Stereopony enjoying themselves there on a beach blanket, perhaps the three of them braving the water and fleeing …

Our tears and pain will become the power that supports our future Stereopony’s seventh single – OVER DRIVE –, hit stores just a couple of months after Hanbunko, on the 12th of May. This single was also their second release in 2010, with its leading track “OVER DRIVE” coming out as an opening theme for the Japanese drama “Pro Golfer …

Once upon a time, in high school, there was this couple that had a fight… Cover songs are always a difficult item to look at. There will always be a rift between those fans that like it and those that like the original better. I have the original album version of “Okami”, which will come into play when we get …

The cherry blossoms are just an excuse “Split in two” is literally what “Hanbunko” means when translated to English. Stereopony’s sixth single leading track is a cover of one of Bivattchee’s most popular songs, and also marks the first half of all of Stereopony’s releases, which totals to 16 records, including their “Best Of Stereopony”. Had the girls known this …

The pressure is on, and I am standing at a moonlit signpost… I really wish that there was more distance between Smilife and Tsukiakari no Michisurube, because having two songs that I really like one after the other complicates matters. Well that, and being too spent and too distracted to write this earlier in the week, and coming down to …

Unbounded, Unrestrained Stereopony’s fifth single – Tsukiakari no Michishirube – hit the stores on November fourth, 2009, almost a whole year since their debut. Looking back, it is hard not to be amazed at how much they accomplished in just a year of being in the music industry. Releasing five singles, a full album, and one live DVD in just …

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, we now present Destonus’ favorite song: Smilife! ::Shiho begins opening drumroll:: From the moment I first watched the PV for this song, I was hooked. From the extras paid to rock out to the girls, to Shiho going absolutely nuts on the drums, Nohana in human metronome mode as usual, with Aimi’s voice doing …

Falling Star The song “Nagareboshi” first appeared in Stereopony’s 4th Single “Smilife”. Walking along the unending road, it suddenly starts raining and despite the rain, letting it soak into the skin and noticing someone’s smile reflected in a puddle, there’s a realization that nothing’s permanent. There are days when we feel like all that’s left of our lives is a …

Tonight we believe in tomorrow, so we’ll continue to run Having gone through their first major release with A Hydrangea Blooms, Stereopony did not stop. In fact, they got better. Two months later – on August 19, 2009, to be exact – stores all over Japan would be selling their fourth single, Smilife. “Nagareboshi” lyrics are credited to SHIHO, all …
