Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan<\/a><\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday was Coming of Age Day here in Japan, where those who have turned twenty over the past year dress-up and celebrate becoming adults! I still can’t believe they all must have been younger than me! They were wearing kimonos which make them look so mature and grown-up!<\/p>\n

Anyway, we’re already well into 2015 now, but today I’m going to be taking a look at the 2014 most popular blog articles<\/strong> as well as the most popular products of 2014<\/strong>! \u00a0(\uff40\u30fb\u03c9\u30fb\u00b4)\u309e<\/p>\n

<\/b>By the way, this is this year’s Nendoroid Calender!\u00a0\u2661\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I look forward to seeing which items will make the rankings of 2015!<\/p>\n
