Saturday pictures of Yuu Watase
Watase san looks amused at spotting me dressed up as one of the characters from Fushigi Yuugi. She likes to see people dressed up as her characters.
The infamous Tasuki question is translated for Watase san. "Why did Tasuki put the saki cups on his chest and say `breasts'."
Toshi Yoshida, who acted as translator, said: "I have to see this". Someone brings up the manga volume, while Watase san looks slightly embarassed.
Watase san says "He was drunk." and that she never thought anyone would ask her about that scene.

Sunday pictures of Yuu Watase.
Watase san surprised us by actually making it to the Fushigi Yuugi Mailing lists special meeting. I think she enjoying seeing us in this setting where it was just people who liked her stories. We certainly showed her how silly we could be during the replaying of the Fushigi Yuugi music videos. Three members did the Tasuki/Koji greeting dance for her- much to her amusement, and the other mailing list members attending. I know I laughed. :)
