(The following is a translation of the e-mail which was sent to Japanese customers.)

This is Kanako Yoshida from YOU YOU ANG.

How are you doing?

Recently, snowflakes have been falling almost every day, but today is a relatively calm Christmas morning. Time flies and the end of the year is fast approaching.

Thank you very much to everyone for your support this year. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you.

Six days from now, it will be the year 2025, and I would like to ask for your continued support for YOU YOU ANG in the coming year.

I woke up early this morning, but what I was able to take was a picture of the usual morning scenery.

After returning from my morning run, the local cat "Okan" would not come out of the house with a hot water bottle even when I called her name.

When I whispered "Churu (cat food)", she came out slowly.

After having breakfast and Churu, "Okan" was in this attitude with no wildness whatsoever. She has grown quite a bit. (lol)

This is what happens when we just eat and sleep. And add alcohol to this.... Let’s take this as a warning to myself as we approach the New Year's holidays. (lol)

I wish you all a happy and healthy New Year.

I hope next year will be a wonderful one!

Please take care of yourselves as we approach the busy end of the year.
