Greg is the creator, administrator, editor, code monkey, overlord and general jack of all trades at Selective Hearing. He can be found lurking among the overseas Asian pop fandom and bumming around Japan every year for some reason or another.

2nd in command, ToZ is Selective Hearing’s resident Urban music aficionado. He also has a keen interest in K-Pop, sneakers, Star Trek and long walks on the beach.

A self-proclaimed Blogging Ho, Kelly-Mae (a.k.a. Chiima) is a J-pop enthusiast, Houkago Princess lover and a writer. She has her own blog, Okay! Musume Time, contributes to three others in her spare time. She can also be found answering questions on her Ask.fm account from time to time.

Aside from enjoying J-pop and writing, she enjoys bad movies, eats way too much food for her own good, and panics about the inanest things. Surprisingly, she is classed as one of the ‘senior’ members of SH. Weird.

Designer by day, wota by blood. Sherrily tries to stay objective and rational about idols. Except during Hello!Pro concerts, where it’s just impossible to stay calm. Likes to keep things tasteful.
