"A videotape?" The man behind the counter asked. I gave him a nod, still holding the videotape. I found it last night. It was in the box where we put all of our letters, and I have no idea how it got there..and who put it there. I'm in Akihabara right now, looking for something for me to find out what's in this tape.

"Ah," Then the man pointed somewhere and said, "Yeah, you can still watch it using that machine over that deck." I looked at where he was pointing and saw a Cathode-Ray Tube TV. "Woah, so nostalgic! A CRT TV!" I said in excitement. I immediately went to where the CRT TV was and inserted the tape.

I wonder who's it from...I sure hope it isn't some porn clip.

I watched how the tape played back, showing a gray screen. Then, after what seemed like a second, the videotape showed what appeared to be a recorded video. I flinched when I saw a guy with slicked-back hair. He looked like he was a teenager, and he looked like he was the one holding the camera. "You better hit this one, alright?" he said, holding up a bottle in his other hand. "And now, my little brother will do a high kick and take the lid off the bottle!" he said.

"Huh?" I couldn't help but feel confused, "Who is this?" Then the guy disappeared from the screen; he was now behind the camera. Then he showed what looked like a little kid with blond hair, wearing what looked like a martial arts uniform. "Don't get too scared and start moving around. Okay, Shinichiro?"

"Eh?!"

I think I've heard that name before.

The guy behind the camera replied, "Yeah right. Who'd get scared of a 4-year-old!"

"Here I go!" said the kid, getting ready for what he was about to do. Then, after a split second, he jumped, and did a spinning kick. I watched how his kick took the lid off. "You're kidding me! JUST ONE KICK?!" the guy behind the camera exclaimed. That's when I realized who that little kid was..it was Mikey.

The 4-year-old kid...was Mikey-kun?!

Why is this in my letter?!

When that clip was cut, the tape showed another clip. I flinched when I saw what looked like a girl in the kitchen, singing. I could hear someone laughing behind the camera. The girl stopped singing as she looked over her shoulder. My eyes widened when I saw that the girl was Emma, "Emma-chan?!"

I watched as Emma ran up to the camera, blushing in embarrassment. "Wait! What did you record, Mikey?! Stop it! It's so embarrassing!" Emma yelled at the camera. I could see their grandfather and their older brother, named Shinichiro, at the table behind Emma. Their grandfather was busy reading the newspaper that he was holding while Shinichiro was looking at the camera as he ate.

Then I flinched when I saw a girl with long black hair walking in the kitchen, and I immediately recognized who it was—it was [first name], and she was only wearing a black bra and a pair of gray shorts. My cheeks instantly heat up. She looked like she had just woken up. I swiftly put my hand on one of my eyes, accidentally slapping myself. "[first name]-san?!" I yelled. She scratched her head as she looked straight at the camera. "What's with the camera, Mikey?" she asked.

"Good morning, [first name]!" said Mikey, who's still behind the camera. Emma flinched and immediately turned to [first name]. "Put a shirt on, [nickname]!" Emma yelled at her.
