forward to it...!"

Kasumi
- "Hello again, I am Manatsu Murakami playing the role
of Renge Kasumi. I am
very happy to be involved in this wonderful work! At first

you will immerse yourself in the beautiful images, the stories of

feeling!"

during the recording sessions. Since this is an original work, I
hope everyone enjoys the thrill of the show every time! Thank you
very much for your cooperation!"

an empty stomach!"
