Alice Nine Members Facts
I thought this would be interesting to share.
I've seen those 'facts' about the members that are posted everywhere, but some of them look dubious and some I found to be completely false so I decided to make my own list but only with the stuff I actually found in the interviews and shows. This info is reliable and I distilled it form all the interviews I read and stuff. I didn't write down the most obvious things everyone knows anyway, I wrote down the less known and interesting ones. These are all pretty much taken from their own words. Bias clearly shows but I did pretty much read every interview I came across and I tried to write down interesting fact about everyone. The headers are taken from two questionnaires. Also to be noted that some facts don't add up from one interview to another and people's tastes and views also change so these can never be 100% accurate but it's the best you can get. I can't provide the sources, but if you're really interested in something I might try to remember. Enjoy!
