Tanpopo: Kasu's jokes are the best~ because sometimes Kasu finds jokes where are none.


KANNA (Hi.)


Eri: Pimps up every meal in a funny way. I had no idea where you could possibly add Wiener sausages to.

Tanpopo: Over-ambitious squirrel
Kasumi: Kanna has a dangerous aura of authority, I'm sure it will come her in handy in future. Nevertheless she's a funny kid - it's the mixture that counts!

Pichpi: Kasumi is very realistic and likes to discuss things. But she can disable her brain very fast and muck around in any way. She's always there when I need someone to talk to.
Eri: Can hide her intelligence pretty good. XD
Kanna: The first things that come to my mind are always her puns.

Pichpi: I absolutely love phoning with Tanpopo! Mostly we can't find a way to finish and would drift from one topic to the next. Those are brill memories (laughs).
Kasumi: Tanpopo is cute and dizzy, I would like to cuddle her all the time whenever I see her, but then she'd molest me... XD .
