Q14 If there was a "door to anywhere", where would you go?

Q15 What is your fetish?

Q16 What is your favorite scent?
S: I like the fragrance of perfume very much and I wear it a lot in my personal life, but I also like the scent of fabric softener. There is a scent called "Aroma Rich Juliet" by Soflan.

K: You always talk about perfume by saying, "This is good. What is it?" I always wear the same perfume, but he always asks me what it is (laughs). I have a perfume that I wear all the time.
