I wonder how long it will be, before Rits comes back... well, at least Naru knows the songs and can play, not a bad substitute, in the meantime.

Assuming... R-chan comes back as a bass player. She might be making her way toward the 8th rank, to be converted to a 6-string Queen! (The Lazybone712 Gambit.)

I believe she will eventually take SK over... but, that won't happen until Naoko retires in 10 yrs or so. Until then, Naoko will be lead guitar.

The Chanrio Plague ThingYou may remember that Naru is a Sanrio nut since early days. It looks like she's egging the other girls on, although this web toy is getting to be epidemic. Let's just say Naru's the one who's promoting Chanrio through Twitter... ...has her own Chanrio Twitter icon of a fairy godmother in polka dots for @naruru__ ... is modeling Emi as a chibi hula girl (really nice job, there, Naru)... and Risa as a puppy-eyed princess... and getting a lot of exclamations back. Naru sent Emi a copy of her Hawaii-kawaii self with the comment, "this is your ace in the hole." Like, maybe Emi's looking for a better tweet icon. Don't be too surprised, is all I'm saying. The Sanrio Entertainment Company understands your need for cute, and that's why they created Chanrio Maker, a javascript tool for building a cute Sanrio-like character in your browser. For most of us, that character is going to be... you! Your online kawaii avatar self. I am a little surprised that Naru does not seem to have any secret unlocking code that gives access to the REALLY cute outfits for your characters. She's probably out buying plush toys right now to get a code. I dare you to use the character tool. Just be aware that if you do, no matter how your Chanrio comes out, you yourself will be transformed into a Japanese girl. This change is not reversible. Here's one I made. I'm afraid the girls get all the good hair and personal accessories. Oh, I forgot to say: it looks like everyone has better sense than to try getting Boss Naoko into this game. So far. I think she and Atsushi would go for it, but... no way, for work.

Something more on Twitter from crafty (2X) Naru. An utter delayed-fuse sleeper. I'll just leave this here and wait to see what happens. On the left, for your reference, cover art from Brand New Knife. On the right, Naru's "good night" tweet illustration. The biggest catch was Naoko herself, who was all "!!THAT'S THE BRAND NEW KNIFE BUNNY!!" Well, sort of, it is. Naru sewed and stuffed it herself, for fun, years ago as it seems. I was busy with my creative pursuits in high school, she explained. GOTCHA! Naru also has a decent spread of Shonen Knife CDs collected over the years. You, of course, have got even more of them. But you don't have Live in Osaka, probably, and she does.

...Naru sewed and stuffed it herself, for fun, years ago as it seems. I was busy with my creative pursuits in high school, she explained... I like the way that Naru made the naked Japanese Brand New Knife bunny. I guess that the flower in the bunny's hair must have wilted over the years, perhaps it needs a fresh one.

More than that, she is having it cuddle with plush bears and catfish and lord knows what-all as part if a thematically unified "Goodnight" series. How far can this go? Hmm.

Cute Naru in some rather fun and cool specs. The pic makes me wonder if they're just a fashion statement, or are they some of those " multiple pinhole glasses" used for sight improvement. Perhaps both.

They shield her from the dazzle of her own charm. Without the screen, she'd get stuck every time she passed a mirror!

Naru's Twitter Status from October 2This time, Naru's charm is robed in the colors of the Hanshin Tigers. Traditionally, that's who you root for in Osaka, even though they've moved West, nearer Kobe. The Wikipedia page for the team says: Tigers fans are known as perhaps the most fanatical and dedicated fans in all of Japanese professional baseball. They often outnumber the home team fans at Tigers "away" games.
