I'VE Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Last Updated: 19-01-07

Who is I've/I'VE SOUND?

Answer

Who is/What is OUTER?

KOTOKO went under the name OUTER as a joke between her and TAKASE Kazuya. The main vocalist is KOTOKO with other people on instruments.

Who is STEPHANIE/Stephanie Yanez? Is she apart of I'VE?

Answer. Short answer: Yes, but for some reason barely any Japanese sites list her.

Who is Mandy Andrews?

Amanda "Mandy" Andrews is, like STEPHANIE, a winner of Anime Expo's AX Idol ('05 to be exact). When she auditioned however, according to her official site, there was a "drop in the industry."

I've watched the BUDOKAN 2005 DVD and there was a woman shouting stuff and "rolling her "R's." Do you know who she is? I did not see her name in the credits!

Answer and another page says she is "SpecialMC, Lenne Hardt" (Special I've MC, Lenne Hardt).
