Quotes
-
Chidori, Hajime's fiancee : She wants to see a strip show.
Hajime Sudô, the artist : You want to see one?
Kumako Satake, Chidori's mother : To govern, one must know about the margins of society. Why have such shows sprung up in the pure nation of Japan? What sorts of women perform in such shows? And what sorts of men ogle the women in such shows? I must know about the culture of today to get elected in these chaotic times. I'm relying on you as an expert in such things.
