[notes: congratulations to everybody! these pictures are really great! now, on to the part where i fail: the two posters used for the DARTS tokyo prelims are actually two different posters, not both the same poster. the problem is, i only know one of the words they used to describe them. (T_T) Luna-san will be getting a laid-back pose, while Ray-san will be getting a "hokkori" pose, but i'm really not sure what that means, and google was no help. double (T_T). also, it turns out Virginie-san is one of us! yay virginie-san! why not visit her dA page?]

YAY I'm here ! XDD I'm Jayna, or Jayna1138, the one who gave the link to your blog on gacktxyou, and who comments once in a while here :)^__^ (always here for your great translations ^^)
...Ano, YOU-kun... it wasn't cherries. It was toxical "fruits", so no, I will NEVER give you one.

I remember I laughed really hard when I understood his comment.
