Crystal Kay on the Way!

I believe that she is well integrated into Japanese society. Just recently, I heard from a friend that an old woman said that her biracial daughter resembles Crystal Kay in her younger years. This was at an Onsen!
Thank you Crystal Kay for opening up doors for more people to have positive recognition in Japan. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same thing about Bobby Orugoon.
