Isn’t it probably Nobuyo Oyama?
I think she passed away last month.

When I was a child, a frying pan full of castella cake seemed delicious.

Gri and Gra are the names of two wolves kept by Odin in Norse mythology.

As a lyricist, he wrote the lyrics for several image songs, including the opening theme “Stroll” [6] and “Maigo” for the 1988 animated film “My Neighbor Totoro.”

Is it okay to be happy about a home run on a day like this?

I liked the story about making a giant omelet. I pray for your soul to rest in peace.

There’s a rush towards the end of the year, just like last year.
0026Anonymous @I’m sorry.Oct. 17, 2024 (Thu) 13:46:33.88ID:4VC1Eeio0
Hmm? Didn’t she die two years ago?
Then I realized that her younger sister, who was drawing the pictures, had passed away first.

I’m so nostalgic for Gurigura. I remember reading it a lot as a child.

It’s tough to hear news of deaths one after the other.

I loved Gurigura. It’s sad to hear so many stories about their passing.

It’s a picture book I read some time ago.

Gurigura should be on the cover.

It was a Japanese picture book!

I thought the blue ones were males and the red ones were females.

I thought she was someone from much earlier. Thirty years ago when I was reading Gurigura, I already had the image of her as an old lady.
