Sato Natsuki for AKB48×B.L.T September 26, 2009

In order to commemorate B.L.T. magazine’s twelfth anniversary, AKB is releasing 60 t-shirts, each designed by a different member of AKB48.  Sato Natsuki’s is obviously the best, with pink on black and two sketches of her: one in casual wear and one in her ‘Kimi wa Pegasus’ costume, her first original unit.  I love it.  Buy it for me.  Only 3000 yen.  Plus shipping.

Buy it here!

A few newer pictures… September 23, 2009
