About Me

Astrogirl loves POP MUSIC. She has an obsession with Japanese and Swedish music but also plays different kinds of international pop (french, german, indonesian, australian etc.), as well as indie, trashpop and sleezy electro. She likes both modern and retro stuff combined in a postmodern way and her main aim is to make people D.A.N.C.E.!!! CHECK CALENDAR FOR DJ SETS.

When Astroboy began to complain about feeling lonely, his friend Ochanomizu decided to build him a family. He therefore created for him a sister, Astrogirl. Astrogirl was designed to act like a young girl, giving her a mischievous personality which can get her into trouble. Though she sometimes irritates her brother, the two are very close and each would be willing to die for the other. Astrogirl has similar powers to her brother; she is a superhero with built-in weapons. She is destined to fight evil. Most of all, she is a robot armed with true feelings, heart and soul.
