We just told you that the rainy season has come a couple days ago.

But look at this blue sky! ↓↓↓

We have sooo beautiful days these days☆
Where the rainy season gone?
I don't think this is the real summer season because it's not so humid now.

We should make the most of this blessed lull ;)

This is the famous K-1 fighter, Mirko Crocop.

Naoto, one of our staff found him staying with us!!
We don't know why he was here...must be taking a break.
Too much fighting made him tired.

Just kidding♪♪

Even though you are not good at football, you may be able to
be a big-name player in the PS2♪

I wanna play Wii and try the tennis game.
Is there anyone who has it?

The summer is right over there!
We have a rainy season before it, though.

Can you see a wind bell in this picture?↑
It's a summer feature in Japan.
It makes really refreshingly cool sound.

We are ready to welcome the summer!!
