[English]

Imitating Twiggy's mini skirt in the movies.

People say I have short hair, like a tomboy.

But I want to get a new look.

Fashion that suits this character.

Like a cover girl I’ve been curious about, yeah.

How do I look?

Baby, baby, tell me?

Our usual play: walking and striking poses.

The park feels like Paris Couture.

Girls are feeling like supermodels.

We're so hot! We're so fly!

Stumbling and falling LOL.

Why don’t I understand why I got dumped? Why? Oh why?

I can't end like this — I want to be reborn.

Give up!

Ice Cream and Chocolate... Oh no!

Imitating Twiggy's mini skirt in the movies.

People say I have short hair, like a tomboy.

But I want to get a new look.

Fashion that suits this character.

Like a cover girl I’ve been curious about, yeah.

How do I look? Baby, baby, tell me?

The salon that everyone’s talking about after just opening.

Reservations are two months waiting.

Girls are always interested in what's trending.

What’s in? What’s out?

My plans are ruined, OMG.

By the way, my dad used to be in MMK.

In the show window, there are always new shoes.

Excuse me!

I want to try on my size.

Imitating Twiggy's mini skirt in the movies.
