"Aldious is an all-female heavy metal band from Osaka, formed in 2008 by guitarist Yoshi and vocalist Rami. After a few member changes, they released their debut EP Dear Slave the following year and soon after formed their own record label, Bright Star Records. Their first album Deep Exceed (2010) reached the top 15 on the Oricon chart, as did their second Determination (2011). However, founding member Rami announced she was leaving the group in June 2012 for health reasons and new vocalist Re:NO joined Aldious just one month later. They produced their third album District Zero in 2013 and it became their highest-charting release to date, reaching number 7. Their fourth album, 2014's Dazed and Delight, peaked at number 20. In April 2015, ALDIOUS signed with their new label VAA (Village Again Association). The band also recruited Marina as their new drummer, and they are currently working on their upcoming new single." ~Wikipedia, Aldious (VAA) Full Biography Fanclub: REAL-DIOUS Links: Facebook - Website - Youtube - VAA Twitter Member Twitters: Toki - Re:NO - Sawa - Marina - Yoshi

Yoshi cut her hair a few weeks ago. Cute. (it can also be seen in the Re:Fire live PV and some other recent pics)
I'd just like to say Aldious's fanclub "Real-Dious" opened up recently and I believe you can apply for membership. Will add more details when I have time.
Does anyone know their actual ages today? I've always guessed late 20's to early 30's depending on the member. Edit: Encylopedia Metallica lists Yoshi and Re:NO as both being born in 1987 (29). No info on the other members.
How can a band that sounds this awesome look this gorgeous?? The Gods are toying with us. (from RE:No's twitter today)
Marina says they're shooting a new MV today. Toki and Marina are done....Reno is still shooting. No hint yet on what it is. (edit: Of course....it was 'Sweet Temptation')
My Japanese is sketchy.... Aruto had a girl??? Good for her!!! https://twitter.com/ALDIOUSYOSHI/status/730795083092492289
