Happy (late) birthday to my original best girl!😭💚 When I started playing SIF, Pana was the first girl that caught my eye. I fall even more in love when her character was introduced in the anime since I (like a lot of people) found her very relatable and inspiring. Even if I don't have a lot of merch (or even a lot of her cards on SIF/SIFAS), I still love her lots and always grateful to her for getting me more into idols and Love Live!. Happy birthday~!!💚

Happy Birthday to the goddess of rice.

Hanayo was one of my first best girls when I started playing and watching Love Live! I wanted to be like her so much that I tried to have a rice meal everyday. Being a Filipina that was easy to do because our rice cooker was always being used. Hanayo will always hold a place in my heart for being so passionate about idols and rice.

Happy Birthday best girl!!!

Happy birthday my best u's girl Hanayo Koizumi! I wanted to draw her as best as I could to honor her. May her day include lots of rice and hanging out with her dearest friends. 🍚❤️

Happy birthday Hanayo!

Happy Belated Birthday, Hanayo!

Happy birthday our pana💖

Happy (late) Birthday Kayo-chin! You're the most precious member in M's and I love you, and that's not only because I have tons of things in common with you haha- ★

Oh my god it’s finally time??? (I’m one day late I’M SO SO SORRY HANAYO BABY) But oh my gosh it’s really this girl’s birthday!!! Miss Hanayo means the absolute WORLD to me. Ever since I first booted up SIF back in 2017 and had to choose a character at the start of the game, I didn’t know any of the girls and randomly went with Hanayo but oh my goodness did I choose right- Hanayo will always be my favorite girl, from Love Live, from ANYTHING really. She’s so special to me, and always makes me feel happy whenever I see art of her or new content made with her and I just- I cannot express my love for this girl in words! Hanayo, you will always be my #1 comfort character, thank you so so much!! 💚🍙💚🍙💚🍙💚🍙💚 As I was pressed for time, I didn’t get to make any art for her birthday unfortunately so here’s all of my current hanayo merch? It’s not much at ALL and I really hope to grow it soon!!

Happy Birthday Pana!!! Fun fact is that she was the first ever UR I got and since then I've always loved her and her strive. This is the first time I ever drew her so it may look bad, but I dearly love Hanayo and she's a best girl.🍚✨

Happy Birthday Hanayo !! I decided I will be posting just the shrine on here since I have tradition to post the full celebration on sukutomo~ Please enjoy this picture :)

Hello everyone! I'm finally posting my celebration of Hanayo's birthday, I'm sorry it's so late!

In addition to my drawing, I wrote a letter to Hanayo and baked her a cake!!

"Happy birthday, Hanayo!

Though I can’t say that you have always been my favorite character, you have been since I started watching the Love Live! anime. From your episode, I have loved you. I see so much of myself in you: shy, unsure of yourself, yet deeply passionate and determined to do well regardless of your lack of self confidence. It was almost like seeing myself in a mirror, down to the hair and glasses. And yet, I saw you grow, become more confident, and succeed in your dreams, something I didn’t think would be possible for me.

I am so, so proud of you. You grew from a shy girl, afraid to do almost anything that would put yourself out into the world, into someone who could perform with charm and charisma to audiences of thousands. Your journey gives me hope that I, too, can grow as you did. Whenever I do something I’m afraid to do, I feel you beside me, encouraging me.

Your passion is incredible. From your knowledge of school idols to your love of white rice, it’s amazing to see such care for the things you love. It’s a trait in myself I sometimes am embarrassed of. Seeing you love so unabashedly, though, it makes me feel like even full-blown obsession like yours can be good and endearing. It almost feels silly that a fictional character could make me feel so much better about myself, but when I see so much of myself in you, I can’t help it.

You make me so happy that I can hardly describe it. I beam when I see pictures of you, I squeal in glee when I get a new card of yours. I could listen to your solo songs for hours (and I have!). I know I can cheer myself up just by opening SIF and hearing you talk about how amazing white rice is, or hearing you say “Ganbarimasu!” Never has any character been able to fill me with such happiness. It’s a truly special thing.

Happy birthday Hanayo, and here’s to many more together."

Thank you for reading (and letting me pour my heart out haha)

Happy birthday to best girl !!

I really love Hanayo so much, her love for idols and food, and she's like me. Shy and passionate about what she loves. Her voice actress is also adorable and I love her voice so much. I love drawing a lot, so I took my favourite hanayo UR and drew it! The white day set really is gorgeus ,,,
