So for example, let’s learn two easy sentences:
Watashi wa Paruru oshi desu.
私 は ぱるる推し です。
Ano shio taiou ga tamaranai.
あの 塩対応 が たまらない。
I am a Paruru oshi. That salty reaction is irresistible.

another great source of news is
2. ぱるる情報局 – I’m not entirely sure what this translates to so I’ll just skip that.
what this site does, is monitor

and shitaraba ( http://jbbs.shitaraba.net/music/27112/ )

If you are going to use these sites to find news on Paruru and post or tweet it elsewhere,
for example here on stage,
please always cite your source because it is common courtesy
and helps others to to trace back information.
3. Then there is the Shimazaki Haruka listing on CDJapan,
which is slow to update, but it does have the most important releases by Paruru:
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/person/500004141
So for example it has the doge photobook (AKB48 no Inu Kyoudai).
The price, by the way, 1111 yen,
when pronounced in Japanese: wan-wan-wan-wan,
is the sound of a dog barking in Japanese: wan!:
Also, it has Paruru’s photobook ‘Paruru, Komaru.’
