■Ayaki Murayama comment
This is Aki Murayama from AKB48. EX Taishu-san, which will be released on December 16th, will be featured on the cover exclusively for the Amazon version. Apparently, if you purchase from Seven Net, you will receive a postcard. I think it’s pretty cute and doesn’t look like an idol, but I think there’s a lot of side to me that you can see in my everyday life, so please get it. Nice to meet you!
