Interview with Saeko Shimazu

─ Please give us your impression of your performance at the event.

I was nervous from the beginning to the end, but it was fun.
As I talked with everyone on stage, I could remember those days more and more.
Thank you very much.

─ ─ How do you feel about the Blu-ray release of "Dirty Pair"?

Finally, it has been released on Blu-ray! That's great.
I was shown the draft of the booklet, and I think it is very valuable for the fans, as it contains many stories that have not been shown on the surface and that I do not even know about. I am also happy to have this opportunity. That's great, Yuri!
I know there are many of you who have been buying the video and DVD versions for a long time, and thanks to all of you, we have been able to reach the Blu-ray version like this.
Every time I meet with Mr. Tongu, we talk about this, and I am so grateful to think that he has always remembered us.
I hope you will continue to support Dirty Pair.
And I will keep my hopes, but not my expectations, for the next one...!
Let's walk together.
