| Ms. Umezawa said, "Last night, Mr. Takemiya called me. I thought that he would talk about today's strategy, but he asked me, 'how are you going to be dressed tomorrow, Yukari?'" |
| Mr. Takemiya: "I realized that I should be as well dressed as Yukari. If this award had not been given to us, it should have been my fault. By the way, I am sorry about the games. When the second game started, Mr. Otake forced me to shake hands with him. That handshake put me in a wrong condition!"/td> |
