Friendship[]
Saizo met Ruu & marky one winter. When he was heading home after his work at the stuffed toy store, Saizo remembered that he ran out of soy sauce and mirin, so he rushed to the nearest supermarket. When he got there, noticed something different, there was a crowd in front of the supermarket watching something. Saizo climbed a tree to see what was the people watching, and he saw that there were two men playing folk music, Saizo watched the performance of those musicians, and was aware something very particular. Those men, although they were trying to make money with their music, they seemed to be very nervous and did not interact much with their audience, they just continued palying without saying a word or making eye contact with people. Saizo thought that maybe those men felt the way he feels. When the supermarket closed its doors and all the people left. Saizo approached Ruu and Markey and invited them to his house for dinner. Since then, the three have maintained a long friendship relation. Saizo feels very lucky to have found them, because before them, he had no human friends and they are three guys that can understand each other's personality perfectly.
Participation Details[]
Saizo was moved by a song that his friends Ruu and Marky composed, he could identify himself with the lyrics of said song. Saizo wanted to help his friends achieve fame with their music, but he didn't know how to do it. Then he saw his invitation to the Goketsuji tournament. The tournament would be broadcasted worldwide, so Saizo thought that the tournament would be a good way to publicize the talent of his friends and invited them to go with him to the tournament as part of the side show.
