Video Production Information

MAYA

Hello, MAYA here.

This is "SigSig 2", with three different princesses running about.

Originally, for EMPRESS, I was going to have one tomboyish princess running around the screen having her clothes change three times.

This movie is worthy to be considered as a sequel to SigSig and continues what I wanted to do with the SigSig video, which was dancing with full animation.

Remember to watch the parts when the girls try to throw in a last kiss!

I appreciate this and enjoy playing whenever possible.
