"Today is Piano-chan's birthday. Thank you for everything. She's cute!"

"It's also My Lovely Piano's birthday today! The Japanese idol Na-chan, who I love, reminds me of this character. I drew a picture for her birthday a long time ago (6 years ago?) Lol. I want to draw a collaboration illustration with Na-chan and My Sweet Piano someday."
