Anyway, those hyperkinetic lyric rythyms made me think of the old Shinorer classic:

Where was I when those Ogamana-in-Lucky-Star clips were posted?? Glad she's keeping busy~ ^^

So I received a shipment from CDJapan today and who should I come face-to-face with in a random insert they included but good ol' Niwa Mikiho.
She did a shoot/interview for the clothing brand SEX POT ReVeNGe. According to their site, CDJapan normally sends these out with apparel orders, but I think that they must have sent it to me because of all of my Tsunku-related purchases.

Scans!
