We wanted to take a photo of ZIN-san lost in his shaved ice dreamland, but…

『Yankashi-san』 passed by at just the wrong moment.

We’ll get lots of complaints from ZIN-san’s fans now. (laugh)

We got an A3D II preview too~♪

Today, I’ll be bringing to you a look of “a-park”, a-nation’s community area ♪

Firstly, it’s this placeeeeeeeeee! The goods booths!

There’s lots of summer items lined up, it’s hard to decide what to get~ (￣◇￣)

A photo of 2 fans who have bought their goods ♪

It’s hard to tell in this photo, but he has a sparkly A Logo on his head!!
So cool ☆

Aside from that, there’s also booths for shaved ice and Hamasaki Ayumi x Woodberrys 『Fresh Frozen Yoghurt』 ♪

It’s really bustling here~ （*｀▽´*）

I tried the strawberry-flavoured shaved ice, and it was just delicious!
It has a different texture and taste from your average shaved ice, and is filled with the just right summer flavour ♪ Do try it yourself~

A photo of 2 fans who bought it shaved ice and are enjoying it ☆

As usual, everyone joined in with an “Ichi ichi”. (laugh)

GO-MI-san, showing us for one moment the awesome abs of a staff who came to help us with the BBQ.

For some reason, standing next to KO-kun and EMI-san gives us a very L.A. kinda feeling. (laugh)

Welcome back, SUBARU-san!!

He didn’t know how many people there are, so he ordered this much,

but it was all absorbed by the A Troupe gluttons. (laugh)
