🎃 Last autumn was the Izayoi Cup 🌔
Around this time last year, we were in the submission period for the Izayoi Cup (*'▽')ノ
I remember how much fun it was from the pre-event onwards, and how I was smiling the whole time (*´ω｀*)
The host, Izayoi-san, really made it exciting ❣
The Izayoi Cup, which I enjoyed together with everyone and the crew, is a precious memory that remains in my heart even after a year has passed 💕
Posting the nostalgic opening video here 👇
Posting the Izayoi Cup summary here too 👇
There were so many fun pre-events, weren't there? 💕
The famous "Pon" project started with the Izayoi Cup ❣
It was Naeko Shichida-san's project ( *´艸｀)
It's an article that wraps everything up, so please enjoy it if you'd like (*'▽')ノ🌔
The end credits have turned into a fun song! ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ
Naoko Shichida's child's English is super cute! 💖
The crew and Seven Sword-kun are participating in the chorus! 🎵
🎃 Thank you for participating in "Looking Up at the Same Moon"! ❣
The "Looking Up at the Same Moon" project, which received many works,
reached its goal on the Harvest Moon (9/29)! ❣
In the Kanto region, it felt like we could see it briefly through the gaps in the clouds,
but thinking that "I am looking up at the same moon with everyone"
made me happy to realize that
even if we are far apart, we are connected. (*´ω｀*)
Click here for the summary article.
The new moon in October is on "October 15th," and the full moon is on "October 29th" It is apparently called the Hunter's Moon.
If you'd like,
even on days that aren't a full moon, I would be happy if you
enjoyed the wonderful works by "Looking Up at the Same Moon." (*'▽')ノ
Min-Hai is currently frozen, but
the crew is quietly and secretly
preparing a project on their own. (^^♪
Look forward to it! 🎈
