Hangry & Angry Interview at Hello! Online

The personification of h.naoto's brand known as Hangry & Angry made their US debut at SakuraCon a week or so ago, and Hello!Online managed to snag an interview with the girls.

What is Hangry & Angry? It began life as an h.naoto fashion brand, represented by two female cats - one punk, one goth. GASHICON is the brand's illustrator, and he's helped build the label with his artwork. We don't currently stock any Hangry & Angry brand clothes, although we like the brand a lot and we may carry it in the future.

Now, former Morning Musume members Hitomi Yoshizawa and Rika Ishikawa have been enlisted to take on these character roles in real life. They've got a new CD out entitled "Kill Me Kiss Me" that's supposedly actually available in the United States, though good luck finding it. You can hear their music on their MySpace page.

It's not really my cup of tea, and it unsurprisingly sounds a little too "Hello! Project"-ish for my tastes, but then their real purpose is just to wear the clothes and look good doing it. And at that, they're a smashing success.

Don't forget to check out the interview if you'd like to read more.
