 DENNIS: Since
you two are very popular, I�m guessing it must be hard when you go
out to shop in Tokyo or eat in a restaurant. Do you have to wear sunglasses
and a hat to disguise yourself?
PuffyAmiYumi:
It would be a lie to say that there are no fans coming around
us, but it's not as bad as before, I mean, when we actually debuted.
So we do go outside.
We often go to the shops that we see and check out in the magazines
together.
DENNIS:
I have a question for Yumi.
Yes or no...Will we ever see a duet or some music collaboration
between you and
your husband, Takanori-kun (Yumi's husband is the popular vocalist
known as TM Revolution) in the near future?
YUMI:
No...
DENNIS:
The next question is for Ami.
On your show "Pa Pa Pa Pa Puffy", I have seen you
beat Amuro Namie, Sam, Morning Musume, Uehara Takako on �Dance Dance
Revolution?and other video games.
Are you really good at video games?
AMI:
There are some games I'm good at but also there are some games I'm
bad at... but basically I like video games.
DENNIS:
What makes you two happy?
YUMI:
Friends. People around us.
DENNIS:
What is the most embarrassing moment you have had on your show
"Pa
Pa Pa Pa Puffy"?
YUMI: Hmmm�I can't really think of any. Nothing special?o:p>
DENNIS:
I always wondered if you felt strange or even a little upset when
SMAP's Nakai Masahiro and Katori Shingo did a parody of your group
called "SMUFFY" on "SMAP SMAP" (a segment mocking
the groups fashion and dance style) a few years ago?
AMI: We were simply happy to watch them doing our impersonation.
 DENNIS:
Before I ask the last question.
Many of your dedicated fans outside of all around the world have followed
your music since you released your first album, "AmiYumi".
These fans have bought all your albums and videos.
They have watched your TV show, and your appearance on music
shows including your drama special that you did a few years back.
On behalf of the fans of Puffy Ami Yumi, I thank you for entertaining
us for many years and we continue to wish you the best.
PuffyAmiYumi:
THANK YOU!
DENNIS:
OK�final question. What final words would you like to say to all of your fans
outside of Japan?
PuffyAmiYumi:
It is very overwhelming to know that there are many people who are
supporting us outside of our home country.
It seems like surprise, but we are so happy that we've been
getting their support from overseas!
We are so pleased that people all over the world cheer us
up and listen to our music.
We believe this by itself is the proof of our efforts and
work so far. And our
music work is going on and on with people around us.
We'd like to do our best and keep on delivering good music
to everyone from now on, too.
