Happy New Year!

明けましておめでとうございます。Happy New Year! Gelukkig Nieuwjaar! Bonne Année.

I wish you all a superb 2016 filled with peace, joy and happiness.

To start the new year, here’s a lovely illustration of Maki Nishikino by はりもじ. Together with Nozomi, Maki is one of my favorite “Love Live!” idols, she always does look stunning in kimono.

You can see more of はりもじ’s work from series like “Kancolle”, “The iDOLM@STER” or “Love Live!” on Pixiv.

Didn’t make any big New Year’s resolutions for 2016, instead I aim to build up attainable achievements and make it a fun year. Although work will no doubt be hectic due to upcoming restructuring which means uncertainty as well as opportunities, do want to create a good balance to ensure a fulfilling personal and hobby life too this year.
