maiZe is an admin for Int’l Wota (and the coolest one to boot!). Her main J-music interest lies within Hello! Project - with a specific preference for the H!P Kids groups Berryz Koubou, C-ute and Buono!. She has a ridiculous amount of love for Matsuura Aya, Natsuyaki Miyabi and Yajima Maimi (with special mention going to Takahashi Ai, Niigaki Risa and Okai Chisato). Outside ot Hello! Project, maiZe has been known, on occassion, to listen to various J-music acts involved with animes (ex. Sakamoto Maaya, Rie Fuu, TM Revolution, High and Mighty Color), m-flo, Ryohei, Zone, Day After Tomorrow, Every Little Thing and Do As Infinity. And outside of Japanese music, maiZe is completely bonkers for Hanson! Yes… The Mmmbop boys… Hanson… Do you have a problem with that?
maiZe currently lives in a suburb of Toronto, Ontario and works for a pharmaceutical marketing consultation firm. However, when she’s not crunching numbers and trying to figure out why drug usage fluctuates the way it does, she can be found doing one of her favourite hobbies: singing, playing guitar, reading, playing video games, tennis or basketball.
Her main fandoms outside of Hello! Project are completely fictional: Harry Potter and Star Wars… And she just has to say that she is not impressed with what the writers have done to her teenage crush, Jacen Solo…
