---------------------------------------

People who bought the ACTRESS CD at Animate shops in Tokyo got a ticket
to participate in the Sakurai Tomo signing (and handshake) session.
There were around 300 people who participated.

The event took place in a hall that was on the 6th floor of the Toshima
Kumin Center.  Sakurai Tomo was on the stage, and she shook hands with
everyone and passed out the presigned signature boards.  Tomo was wear-
ing a red and black outfit.

Since everyone couldn't fit into the hall at once, they split it into
two sessions.  When everyone one group got into the hall, Tomo said her
password (合い言葉), which was:

２月は (February is)
    うめ (Plum)
３月は (March is)
    もも (Peach)
４月は (April is)
    桜 (Sakura)
桜は (Sakura is)
    桜井智！ (Sakurai Tomo!)

While the handshake session was going on, there were some announcements
made.

  - Tomo will appear at an event on Friday (3/1) and probably will sing
    some songs.

  - Tomo will appear at Tower Records Shibuya and be on the radio on
    2/28.  There is an "open" radio broadcast booth there.

  - There will be a little ticket in the three Sakurai Tomo CDs that are
    going on sale in February, March, April.  By sending them in, one
    has a chance of winning an unreleased CD single.
