I wanted to draw a portrait for Natsumi Matsubara and a friend would bring it to her at the upcoming handshake event but I failed to get it done on time.

But there is still a chance for my friend to at least show the portrait to Natsumii such as on an iPad or some other means.

It matters a lot to me to get to show Natsumii how much she is loved and appreciated, even as far as here in the States. I want her to know that she is an inspiration. But I need to get the portrait done by Friday. I am confident I can get it done but I want you all looking over my shoulder. I failed once, I will not fail again.

Please, AKB48 fandom, Natsumi Matsubara oshi or just my followers in general I’m asking you all to please push me.

Believe in me, doubt me. Challenge me, dare me. Say I can do it or say I can’t. Dog me, encourage me, motivate me. Push me, not for me but for her. For Natsumii.

Why? Because I’m a jerk that’s why
