This Week’s Shachobi
“This Week’s Shachobi”
Taking a Walk Around Town with Unko-kun Lit Up. The Moment I Forgot the Camera Was Caught on Video
Unko-kun, which I won in a boccia match at the Mainstream Association, one of the Nishi2 Friends.

I lit it up and went for a walk around Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi, the place with the most people in Nishinomiya〜. We first went to a park, sat on a bench, chatted for a bit, and then set off. And the moment I completely forgot the camera was captured perfectly.
Please enjoy the moment someone forgets something.
