    2. My favorite scent – Bergamot; My favorite drink – Royal Milk Tea; My favorite place – places with a beautiful ocean view<\/li>

      6. In Takarazuka they say ’10 years to otokoyaku’, and I’m now plunging into my 6th year! From now on I want to challenge myself more and more with the things I’ve struggled to express previously!! Please keep supporting me!!!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
