My name is Shizuku (雫)
I’m adding subtitles while studying English
I’d be so happy if this helps me connect with people around the world
If you notice any weird English, feel free to laugh :)))

Right now, I’m preparing to open a shop for my own handmade creations
My dream is to have a booth at flea markets around the world someday
I’m working toward that dream, little by little ⭐︎

You can select subtitles from the settings

To all of you kind-hearted people—
thank you always
I’m truly filled with gratitude ♡
