QRE: 8-eit – 太陽の女

Sorry for the slow news update lately, but I’ve been crazy with work, working at least 10-12 hours daily for the past few weeks. Finally got the night free and the time to spend it for Aionline . Anyway, bought this single a week or two back on the Japanese iTunes. It’s been a while [...]
