"I Just Flew In From Hokkaido, and Man, are My Eyeballs Envious. So yeah, this one ended up being a day late. Sorry about that; I've been a bit under the weather lately. Anyway, my pick for this week is Hokkaido Gals are Super Adorable!, which is certainly not false advertising for this show, even if the genre was a bit different than I expected. And that's that. The next update will be on the very "night before Christmas", so expect a double one (at least) and that'll be our last for the year. So yeah, see you next week. -Stig Høgset.
