ASAKA: For my last talk, I mean, it HAD to be you!
MAKAZE: Kyaaaa!! (laughs) I’m extremely honored!!
ASAKA: The past 2 1/2 years have been a rich experience, haven’t they. They’ve gone by in a flash.
MAKAZE: They really have.

Misaki Rion x Asaka Manato Farewell Talk
From Takarazuka GRAPH, April 2017
MISAKI: I’ve had the privilege of being with you ever since I was assigned to Flower Troupe, and we even transferred to Cosmos Troupe at the same time, it’s a miracle that we’ve been able to be together like this all the way up until we became partners… so I thought for this last time, I definitely wanted to talk with Maasama. Thank you so much for coming today at this busy—this REALLY busy—time!
