Yuri Ebihara Japanese Benefique Commercial

Japanese actress Erika Toda in May 2014 issue of Magono Chikara Magazine [Jp]. Love the leisure concept of the photoshoot; the actress seems to be taking a break in real life too, travelling places and hanging out with friends.
Japanese AneCan Magazine cosplay party
Japanese AneCan Magazine recently hosted a cosplay party to celebrate its seventh anniversary. The invited guests included stylists, photographers, editors and columnists etc. who have worked with AneCan in the past.
