Hey Evie! Tell me about Harley...
Hey everyone!
Happy winter! The SERA00 ON AIR concert is coming up, but the members have still found time to visit relatives. At my parents' house, snow was piling above and over the edge of the roof - the melting edges dripping onto the ground and icing over the entrance to the house. We had to prevent it from dripping onto the walkway, so we tried to smash down the snow blocks with a broom. I thought it'd be fun, but really, you just get caught in your own self-induced snowfall.
Where did Harley Breeze go off to? When members take breaks, we're still usually together, because most of our friends are other SERA00 members. Not to say that no member has friends outside SERA00, but Harley in particular always seems to disappear off the face of the earth at times like these.
I've mentioned Harley's mysterious image before - you can refer to this post, when I not-so-secretly stalked her for a day, and this post, when I not-so-successfully needled her for answers in an interview. In contrast, Harley has very successfully kept her private life hidden. I guess that's why they call it a celebrity's private life. It's private. So there's your answer right there - no. Harley herself hasn't revealed anything new.
But why worry, when you have Evie the super indiscreet detective? On the day of the 2015 Winter Concert (story courtesy of Angel), Harley called in saying she had something urgent to do, but would try her best to make the concert. She literally showed up five minutes before she was due to make her first appearance. She was cutting it waaaay too close, but somehow managed to make the performance as if she had been backstage the whole time. Apparently she had shown up at the venue with another girl, a non-SERA00 member. Angel described her as an East Asian girl with long black hair, who seemed perfectly comfortable wearing a sundress in the middle of winter.
When Angel told this story, I assumed the girl was Harley's best friend - the even more mysterious individual Harley mentioned in a 2014 interview (linked above). I had been asking her why she kept her past so well-hidden.
"It's mainly because my entire past is affiliated with her, my best friend, and I deeply feel the need to respect her wishes, which is that none of the past we share gets out to the public."
That's all I have on Harley! I hope some of the curiosity has been satisfied.

Hello, hello. Author Evie would like to step in for a few words. I wasn't sure whether I wanted to break protocol and give an out-of-universe answer, but...why not. Relative to SERA00, Harley Breeze is probably the oldest character - she had existed before I conceived of SERA00. In other words, Harley Breeze is a character that exists in another world, another one of my stories. I brought the entire character over when I started writing SERA00, which is the main reason why Harley's "past" is so mysterious. Her "past" is what happened in the other story, and the genres of these two worlds don't mix. I dug out Harley's first appearance in a 2012 piece of writing. If you can brush aside the cringy-ness of my old work, then please enjoy.

the second installment - SERA00 ON AIR!
Hey everyone!
Did you think SERA00's "FOLLOW" concert was going to be out last of the year? We're officially breaking our personal record for the highest number of concerts held in a year. We bring to you the second installment of SERA00 ON AIR - the 2016 SERA00 ON AIR: One Heart One Stage! The concert will be held on the December 24th, and will be broadcast on the 25th.
"One Heart One Stage?" you repeat. "What does that mean?"
As the title suggests, the concert will be made up of individual stages by the members - an evening of solo performances. You'll hear a variety of songs. Some members will be performing a new solo single, there'll be some solo debuts, some new solo OSTs. Others will sing solo songs from Stage repertoire, or rearrange singles for solo performance. Of course, we can't leave out a full cast performance of our 37th single, "Blue Quest"!
Although it'll be a long concert, over 3 hours, time still does not allow every single member to have a solo stage. Thus, only the A and B ranks will have a stage to themselves.
The first ON AIR concert had an element of audience participation, so in keeping with the theme, this one will too! Using the SERA00 ON AIR app, audience members will be able to send a member "hearts" during her performance. At the end of the concert, the member who received the most hearts will be crowned the winner. Audience members can give an unlimited number of hearts - but here's the catch. Each "heart" costs a dollar.
To celebrate the holidays, all proceeds from the purchases of hearts will be donated to the charity that was fan-voted for the 37th single. So in the end, no matter who you give your hearts to, we're all contributing to the same cause!
Download the SERA00 ON AIR app and visit the Heart Shop to exchange your donations for hearts. If you won't be attending the concert and wish to make a donation, you can do so through SERA00's official homepage.

37th single: BLUE QUEST
Hey everyone!
Did you notice the wallpaper change? Just for the festive spirit :) Also, all the idol information has been updated to reflect the 2016 election results.
So! Whose submission did Management pick for the 37th single? ...not a SERA00 member's! Haha, don't worry, after hearing it, everyone agreed that the song was the right choice. Take a look at the tracklist to see which members' creations will be appearing on the album.

TRACKLIST
Blue Quest - Yu Yan, Alex Xue (title)
When I Arrive - Luna (b-side)
Warmth of Winter - Alyss (c-side)
We Sing - Geneviève (Type Aurora)
Insplosion - Angel (Type Angel)
Attention! Line - Kansas (Type Night)
Although SERA00's never had an explicitly official colour, many fans associate our name with blue. That's also why this blog is blue-themed. "Blue Quest," written by Huang Yu Yan and Alex Xue of ECTI, is named for similar reasons. Yu Yan said that she was considering writing a winter piece, but rationalized that the majority of other submissions would be winter themed, so she decided to write something different. As the title suggests, the song likens the journey of SERA00 from where we were years ago to where we've come now as a quest for success.
Since it's exam season, I'm going to keep this post relatively short. The album drops on December 20 - exactly two weeks from now. Look forwards to it! For now...
