(Tv)(Iv)アイドル道 030901 No 01 (Erika)
Upload was incomplete...gonna reupload..
KAWAII!
side note:
The whole episode would be 580MB and ~1hour long.
I removed all parts of the episode without Erika.
-> This clip only has the parts with Erika and a bit from the intro+end.
I will not upload the full episodes (would be 580MB to 1GB each...23 episodes total).
(Erika is in 13 of them)
Now have fun.
here is a new DL link(this time it downloads 100%):

It's hard to get a good filehost.

Just watched the Erika excerpt...she is just too cute, her laughter, her pouching cheeks, her fixing hair...everything
A question just popped out of my head, how does she communicate with her mother, japanese? french?
I'm pretty sure that would be japanese. At the very least, they've been in Tokyo since Erika was born (it might be much more earlier than this), I would assume her mother is 100% fluent in japanese by now.
And given, they visit her mother's relatives in Europe, I think she's familiar with french.
National language of Singapore is Malay for historical reasons, and it is used in the national anthem, "Majulah Singapura". The official languages are English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil
