[/UPDATE]
[3/06] "It's Difficult to Report About a Live Show"
She begins by talking about the Showcase Live and how good a performance it is. She then goes off topic and starts talking about comics. She's recently bought the manga "DEATH NOTE" (volume 1 - 5). She wonders if there are any other 22 year old female readers the "Jump" manga.
It seems that shes back in Japan... "What do you think about a girl, reading "Death Note" for 3 hours at fashionable beauty parlor in Tokyo?"
Look out for updates from Nuuk's translations.
