During the event, Harada commented, "We're just friends," and explained, "We're close, but we're not in a relationship."

Wearing the brand for the first time, Harada stated, "This is the first time I've worn Lacoste. The designer changed, so it seems the mode changed. I would like to wear it from now on." When reporters asked, "Would you go on a date to Lacoste?", the actress replied, "No, I wouldn't."
