I can compare it to my hometown when it comes to explaining where I am from.  Let me introduce both of these great groups to you. Group Information As I mentioned, this group is a locally based in Omiya, Saitama Prefecture, Japan.  They were formed in November 2014.

It has been almost a year since I last updated this article (September 2020 - August 2021). I apologize for the delay in activity.
