A happy new year, with a huge delay!

(a photo is uploaded. please check her official site)

I turned 24 today!

Hehe, I think maybe I'm beginning to have some feminine charms by now, tehee, so that's why I tried this great beard. Looks pretty cool huh, if I do say so myself. Hehheh.

Sorry for having uploaded a photo of me for the first time in ages(not Kuma Chang's butt or such this time), with such rough hair and shabby parka(I haven't washed my face yet today, if I remember right).

Whew, actually I can't worry about grooming or birthday or something right now . . . I've been working on a big project with red eyes. Kaji-san notified me by email 3 days ago, "Time to select has come." Select? You wonder what kind of selecting it is?

It's Kuma Chang contest. Colorings, group singings and such!

I'd completely forgotten that I had to select the winner works, so having heard I need to finish it all by the 23rd I thought like the world went upside down woohoooo ! ! !

In the end of last year, while I was talking with staff at work and told "We've got more than ten thousand submissions of coloring~!" or "It's now over twenty thousand, too much to upload in time~!", I just said stuff like "Oh wow, that's great isn't it, I'm so thrilled~." It's like, at that time I had no idea that I was the one who was to screen all of them. Aggghh.

Uh~oh~, this is no time to take a photo of me with false beard, or write a message like this~. (I'm so silly like that(lol))

I never wanna be lazy about this, so I've been taking a good look at every single work one by one, judging carefully ! ! !

You know this is so hard! First of all I began the selection of the coloring contest. When you read those comments like "I colored this singing 'Boku wa puma~puma~puma~'" or "I did my best to color this as my kid loves Kuma," you really feel like awarding all of them like "Alright you're the winner!!!," "Oh!, you're the winner too!" "Alrighty, you all are the winners!"

Well anywayz, I'm right in the middle of selecting, by my arbitrary and biased view.

Ahem.

Wishing you all the best for this year ! ! !
