Inoue Mao Official Blog Kouhaku Outfit 2

19th January 2012 12:02:36
Theme: Staff Diary

2nd outfit, a white one-piece.

The silhouette was so beautiful we decided on the first one we saw when we were choosing the the outfit!! The Kids Corner was on right after the kimono, so something cute would be right but Mao-san really liked it too.

For the hair, the updo was brought down and braided sideways. The time between the outfit change from the kimono to the one-piece, including moving from one place to another, was only 7 minutes!! The moment she got offstage, it was a continuous dash all the way.

 One-piece: Bluegirl
