"The Ugly Duckling"

Who on earth am I? When we are young, we tend to worry. The Ugly Duckling is a reflection of you. Even if you don't know who you are, or if you can't fit in with the people around you, you don't care about that and just keep trying. I can't help but cry at such a figure.

"The Little Match Girl"

If the gentlemen and ladies walking down the street are the haves, the Little Match Girl is the have-not. There was a time when the environment made the person. Time has passed and now we are in the Reiwa era, and everyone has a chance. What's important is the ability to act and a strong desire, which is all that will maximize your potential and create infinite possibilities! What you're really selling isn't the matches, it's your soul!

"The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter"

Once upon a time, there was a man called the Bamboo Cutter. He found Princess Kaguya in a bamboo grove, and she turned into a beautiful young woman. Noble men of the same age as Princess Kaguya competed to propose to her, but Princess Kaguya just ran away. Will it be some man who wins Princess Kaguya's heart, or a messenger from the moon? The time for a showdown has come.
