hey everyone! so this one's a bit late, sorry about that! basically, irl life's been really crazy for me lately and I haven't really been able to do much for circles sites. I'm also not really part of sukutomo staff anymore, and I just do the awards cause someone's gotta do it and the team hasn't been able to recruit someone to take care of that yet. I didn't think about it, the team didn't really ask me to do it (probs cause they also forgot), and no one really reached out to ask to organize it so yeah, it went completely over our heads lol. when nozomi awards came up - cause we have a few fans within sukutomo staff - I was like oh sh*t wasn't ai's birthday recently? and so huh we said well looks like there was no demand for it so -shrug- haha but then some ppl commented on nozomi awards and asked for it, and i don't mind organizing it late so here ya go! enjoy & sorry again! from ya local top notch klutz ;)
