I’m not very familar with most of them. Amongst the list, I’ve only seen works by Kie Kitano. But I must add that Shiori Kutsuna was really cute in her recent Pocky commercial.
















unless i’m very much mistaken
that picture is Tsugunaga Momoko of Berryz Kobo……isn’t it ?
if she’s actually on the list that would’ve made my day xD
I have no idea actually, I just randomly took the photo of a cute young Japanese girl that looked like an idol.
