SY: Okay, and at some point Henry took over Mr. Takano's business.

YM: Yeah, because Mr. Takano wanted to go back to Japan and...

SY: So...

YM: I think he told Henry he knew, and then Henry had saved money, and I think Henry was only one that was able to buy Takano Studio for the price Mr. Takano wanted. And so he went back to Japan, Mr. Takano did, and Henry took over. And then I think three years later or something we got married. At that time, though, I didn't know Henry that well 'til later on.

SY: So it must have been a big change to get married after having been so close to your grandmother.

YM: Oh, Grandma came with us.

SY: Oh. She lived with the two of you?

YM: She didn't live with us, but we lived right close to each other.

SY: Oh, I see.
