● “My family and relatives were all older and girls, and I was younger, so I was always losing the channel battle with my sisters and forced to watch ” Magical DoReMi”.

● “Doremi-chan, Hazuki-chan, and Ai-chan came to me at some hotel, and I took a picture with them and got signatures. I still keep these important pictures and signatures at my parents’ house.” (25 years old, female, hospitality business)
● “When I was a child, I thought it was a story of the real world, and somewhere in my heart I believed that I could be a witch, so I tried chanting the spell aloud in a place without my parents.

● “When I was a kid, I was often hospitalized and discharged, and whenever it was decided I was to be hospitalized, my mother always brought Hana-chan’s doll to me.

● “When I was a kid, I went to see Doremi-chan’s show with my family, I got stuffed animals from an arcade, bought toys, asked for a chatting computer pastry chef diary at Christmas and cried because Santa didn’t give me it, so I have too many memories to write in 200 characters! “(25 years old, female)
