| Details | This year, the nameless "Secret Forest" will appear in that town once again. It seems there are many lost children there... Gazing at the stars, Iwata Keito's cats predict the night sky, and life breathes into the trees nurtured by Kojima Sawako and Yamaguchi Kazusei. The plants of memory, nurtured by Takai Yumi, accumulate eternal time, eagerly awaiting the moment they will be found. What is that cute little girl in the hood, born from Hagiwara Masae's hands, searching for? A promise from childhood. It seems that the key spun by mimi.embroidery is needed to open that treasure chest. Everyone, everyone is searching. Let's go find what we're looking for in that secret forest. *Only works by Hagiwara Masae and mimi.embroidery will be available by lottery application. ◆Lottery Application Period: September 5th (Sat) 13:00 - September 13th (Sun) 19:00 We will post the list of works on our website on September 5th (Sat).
