Yes.

10 angry guys. (^_^;

| What kind of interaction is there with Noabuko?

Lots.

| Can you request poses and such?

Yes.

| Do you get to talk with her during breaks?

Yes.
I'm not going to write it on the public reports,
but we do get to eat lunch with her.
You can also ask her for signatures, etc.

| Do you get any publishing rights to the pictures you take?

Web is ok.  Magazines, need to ask permission.
Don't know about making a photo collection book. (^_^;

| Is this how the normal "race queen" events work as well?

I assume the race queen ones have much stricter rules.
