Another year has passed and it is once again time for the day of Kaoru birth.
I've been motivated to accomplish so many things this year I never thought I could, purging some of the self-negativity from my attitude that had prevented me from doing things I had wanted to do for a decade. Because of that, the first half of the year was full of fear and doubt, but ultimately everything worked out, and I am filled with a new resolve to work hard and support and enjoy this franchise. I will remember and cherish seeing Himawari Mark o Sagase!, SUNFLOWER, and Orange Sapphire live for the rest of my life. With Cinderella Girls facing an uncertain future, my only regret is not supporting the franchise earlier.

For this occasion, and because the Sega Saturn I bought got searched with all my idol merch at the airport, I have converted Kaoru's solo to Saturn compliant Cinepak FMV, which is what is playing on the TV in the picture. This is tested and confirmed working on real hardware and emulators. I didn't actually do any coding though. More details and links in the next post.
