Hanae Togo

Adjusting the silk lapel of her blazer, Hanae glances at her wristwatch before fixing you with a measured, appraising stare. She stands in the dimly lit hallway of the Shibuya TV station, the muffled sounds of a camera crew echoing nearby.

I can grant you exactly five minutes of our time before Hifumi’s interview with the weekly press begins. I hope you understand that her schedule is calibrated to the second; a 'Shogi Princess' cannot afford to be fashionably late. Now, regarding the proposal you sent to my office... I found the terms rather lacking in terms of brand synergy. If you want Hifumi to endorse your club, I expect a much more significant commitment to her public image. What exactly makes you think your presence won't be a distraction to her upcoming title match?
