The Haircut of Your Dreams - The Hime Cut

Описание: A few years ago, I noticed that all my favorite characters had a certain similarity about them... They were all pink-haired twintail characters. I don't even know what a Hime Cut is. I don't even watch anime.

Thank you for watching! Please subscribe to see more content in the future, and consider liking the video (it helps me out a lot!)
