Reporters [R]: "Will you announce that you'll be finalizing your divorce in mid-February?"

Sawajiri [S]: "I think today's interview will change how I feel about the situation. I can be unpredictable despite having said that so clearly, but since exact reports (of this interview) will quickly be out in a day, I feel as if I want to continue discussing it with him from now on so that we can settle this."

[R]: "Are you going to go ahead and sign with Avex as your management in Japan?"

[S]: "My position on that... It's been said that I made a request to Avex... I'm not thinking about that situation. I consider it something that I can only leave up to fate."

[R]: "You say that you'll leave it up to Avex?"

[S]: (nods)

[R]: "There's been an adjustment to the conditions of Takashiro's side of the divorce."

[S]: "Um, yes."

[R]: "Did you understand how serious getting a divorce was (when you filed for it)?"

[S]: "Since it was something I started myself... I was level-headed and discussed it properly with him, face-to-face."

[R]: "Thank you, Ms. Sawajiri (Mrs. Takashiro)."

[S]: "Really, thank you so much for gathering here today even though you were extremely busy. Even I wanted the day to come that this would be reported promptly to everyone, so please (do so) since I've been struggling with this with all my body and soul. Everyone, truly, thank you so much. I truly am sorry, everyone."
