Dekedekedekedeke dekedekedekedeke dekedekedekedeke dekedekedekedeke
Teete te te tete te!

This is a very groovy and fun song. Maji-SKA has come up with a good one.

This time, the main characters, a calico cat (Parfait), and a girl (Torte) who has appeared in the past, put on a magic show to the rhythm.
However, all Torte does is pull flowers out of her hat, and Parfait constantly interrupts her...
Parfait, who always looks a little uneasy, is actually forced by Torte to go along with her. (But that's a secret.)

Tart & Toffee are guest performers at showtime.
But this is something that the drummer is too busy playing to see.. come to think of it.

At the end of the show, Torte & Parfait are fighting for the screen, but Parfait is the star of the show after all!
He got the screen wonderfully. (Since I get distracted easily, I have to leave at least an impression at the end!)

Anyway, I hope you will all continue to enjoy Torte & Parfait (I think I heard that somewhere...)!
Oh, yes, the naming is by a master whom I respect. Thank you.

And thanks to amamocchi for Torte's costume design.

shiro! Are you watching? Give me your thoughts!

See you next week!!
