<b>Iida Riho:</b>
It was decided I make an anniversary photo set to celebrate my 20 years of good work on Jul’20. There have been a lot more sets before, but this volume is memorable, reflecting on my past.
All who supported me since I was this little and have the old photo albums should find hopefully happy surprises inside.
We traveled to Đà Nẵng for the setting. It was super fun, I suppose you’ll be seeing lots of my honest expressions, so by all means, check it out. Mmm…Đà Nẵng!
