younha is so pretty.
why is it just for tourists from china and hong kong though?
shouldn’t it be the whole world?
i always thought that hello kitty was too girly and childish.
but i’m starting to like it now since it can be cute at times.
bb… normally different countries (or region) would have different Japan tourism ambassador. Not really sure why, but it’s just how it works.
