I was reading some of my usual Akina related blogs recently and a reference was made to this video. It can be a little difficult to watch but Akina really looks so cute there though she can be quite scary at times, especially the disbelief in her eyes when Kyon2 wins the challenge and plays [...]
Treasures of Yesterday …
I just found these treasures which I am sure many of you, especially Ranbi, will be very excited about. I am amazed to be seeing them for the first time even though I have been an Akina fan for about 25 years.
