This is the first awards gig. "Love Hina" obviously was the series of 2002, having won five awards, including best form of entertainment. Namco should be proud with a couple of honors of its own. There were so many people to choose from for the Kurisutaru Eien Award. It's no surprise that Shintani Kaoru-san came up with the award. The winners have done so much in their fields. Wai~!
