Group History: This group was created on 25th-26th December 2008 depending on time zone. For me, it was on 12 midnight on 26th December that i created this group specifically for Kyoko's birthday. There may be a misconception that Kyoko's birthday is on 25th December but according to the manga, since Kyoko doesn't celebrate her birthday due to a lack of parental love from her mum, she celebrates it on the 25th with Sho's family as a double celebration for christmas. I have provided links for the watching of Skip Beat! at other websites if you cannot view it in crunchy. Burst into laughter watching Skip Beat!~
