@Laura Haslam: Sometimes, the people don’t have enough time. At other times there are many cool people in a short period and I want to shoot as many as possible, so I skip data collection. I always contact the people for the data afterwards, but some don’t respond, the contact data turned out to be incorrect, or the spam filters are too zealous.

@petitesam: I have no idea where Noriko got her back. As it is a very old series, so she most probably got it at a used clothing store. Originally, this would probably have been sold at KIDDY LAND and similar stores. I will keep my eyes open. ^^ As
