Scheduled Update #20

Hello everyone!

Took the chance to update today as both of us don't have work today.

So far we have a fair amount of submissions for their puzzle piece design pictures. Thank you very much to all who handed them in. The submitted photos will be part of the video that we'll be sending to Arashi.

On a more serious note, we'd like to know if some of you are still interested in participating in the project. Either way, please let us know ASAP (at most by this weekend). We understand if for any reason you feel you can't go on with the project as this is voluntary. However we're getting to the final stretch of our project and we want to make sure that all the pieces will be mailed and that at least we have a picture of your puzzle piece.

That's it. Hope everyone has a safe and joyful holiday.

Just a little reminder...

...that today is the deadline to submit photos of your decorated puzzle pieces.

If you've had a chance to check out our gallery, many of you have already sent in your puzzle piece photos.

Thank you to all those who've sent their photos in! For those who will be sending them in soon, we know you're hard at work on decorating and designing so we'll look forward to your photos.

If, for any reason, you may not be able to submit your photo by EOD today, please don't be shy about reaching out to us.

There have been concerns about not being able to come up with creative ideas with which to design the piece, or their design is not as nice as those in our gallery...please do not let that hinder you. Some of you have already heard us say that the design is only secondary to your message. What's really important is that your message is sincere and honest. A nice design will definitely catch their attention, but it's that genuine message that will surely stir their hearts!

So focus on that message, minna! To quote our beloved Nino in joukamachi, 'Simpuru is besuto!'
