They'll probably reveal themselves fully when they get older. I don't blame them for having veils on, the deranged side of the fanbase would be out to get them at every step they took.

Do a Daft Punk crossover and we can have a bunch of masked artists doing a concert.

It's OK that they cover themselves. I think it really doesn't matter as long as they sing well, and they indeed sing beautifully. I wish them a good career and I also hope that Alice comes back to the group at some point in the future.

Are they men? They're probably men. I kinda hope they're men. It would be funnier if they're men. Men men men. Or Chinese/Korean. I'm not sure which would upset their fans more.

^ With voices like theirs, there's no way they are "men".


They way the first half of this article is written makes it sound like Karen has been doing this forever but she's hardly had to do much yet lol.

So, at the risk of dating myself terribly, they've basically turned into The Residents.

Whether their true selves stay hidden from the public or are finally revealed for all to see, ClariS's singing are a beautiful sound that I enjoy very well. Smile

Like others had said on this about the fans I agree because some people can't take a damn hint sometimes they go overboard and do something they clearly regret and I don't blame them for not putting their face out there.

I am going to echo what everyone else here is saying. THIS. IS. BRILLIANT.
All idols should do this! Screw the psychopathic fans that obsess over these women as if they are nothing more than dolls made solely to please them. This will at least give them a tiny bit of freedom to live their lives, I imagine. I hope at least.

It's sort of sad that the only way idols can (presumably) have normal lives outside of idoling is to completely conceal their identities... it works as a gimmick for one group, but I can't see the entire idol industry doing this. Sex appeal is a big part of the business, unfortunately, despite the fact that it inevitably attracts crazies.

I'm pretty sure it's the former. I think Alice is pretty much content on getting a taste of the secret idol life while fulfilling an actual, hard-working one.

Still, just think how awkward it would feel if she meets a co-worker who turns out to be a big ClariS fan!

I like it. They can do their thing on stage and keep their identities hidden.

I hope Alice returns one day as well.
