To all of the SD fans who joined us for our event this time.

Thank you very much for coming to the Dolls Party in New York City, 2007. I hope that everyone arrived safely home with your precious SDs. Hopefully those two days are worthy of becoming a precious moment in your doll life.

All of VOLKS' staff who joined this Dolls Party from Japan, and California arrived home safely as well. Each one of them holds fond memories of those two days, and will be thinking of how they can use those experiences to enhance the next event.

We would like to thank FDQ Editor Pat Henry and our 11 volunteers for their wonderful help. Without them and their strong support this event would not have achieved the same level of success.

Which one out of all of the exciting events did you enjoy the most?

Was it the SD Workshops, Body Maintenance, and Makeup lessons which were held in the US for the very first time? Was it the wonderful and professional SD Photography lesson held by Ms. Pat Henry?

Maybe it was the Full Choice System, which was also offered for the first time on the East Coast, that was the most exciting moment of the event.

Time goes by so quickly, like an arrow shot from its bow.

 

The lottery had a winning rate that was 60 times higher than those in Japan. I can almost hear the sleeping breath of those Sei-tenshi and Rei-tenshi who went to the homes of their lucky owners.

The Rei-tenshi who came to the US this time are very rare. There are only a few owners of them in Japan. Those Tenshi are probably busy practicing their English right now.
Please enjoy the next Dolpa in New York with them.

For those who did not win the lottery this time, please do not worry about it too much. We will do as much as we can to bring these Tenshis to you someday. Please look forward to that moment.

We thank you that the wigs and kimonos, which we selected just for this event, sold out.

Thank you also for your reservations for SD Masha. For me, bringing this girl to the US means that I have kept the promise that I made before, and I'm relieved. She will come to you with the latest makeup, carefully detailed for a special SD. Please look forward to seeing her.

  

We could clearly feel everyone's excitement towards the One-Off Models and feeling that passion made me feel excitement in return. I could not stop wishing that the lucky owners who won them will spend wonderful, happy days with them for a long time. For those people whose dreams did not come true this time, we will bring wonderful boys and girls next time too, so please keep hope until then.

The many heartfelt letters and messages to Sarah, I was so moved by them throughout the Dolpa that I was covered with goosebumps the entire time. Even now I am so moved that I do not have the words to thank everyone who brought messages and tokens of goodwill in her memory.

Our donation box for Make-A-Wish USA was full and the total amount of your donations was $642. The special charity auction SD, which was made from Sarah's favorite SD, Toppi, was won by Ms. Karen Vail for the extraordinary price of $1530

Thank you very much.

As we promised, we will be matching the amount from the Charity Donation Box and
the Charity Auction, for a total of twice your generous donations, and we will be donating it to Make-a-Wish USA. We are sure that even from far away Sarah is looking down on the heartwarming generosity of every SD fan with her smile.

Again, we truly thank you very much.

The Dolls Party in New York, 2007 has already passed and gone the way of legend. But, the memory of that fun event has made a place in the spring of many SD owner's hearts, where it will silently and calmly continue to shine.

We will never forget your wonderful smiles or the feel of your hands as you gave us a warm handshake. We even received unexpected gifts from you, and surprising ideas too! Thoughts and yearning for the next Dolpa in New York already fill our minds.

To end, let me thank all of you who have given words of encouragement to my wife,
my boss. Thanks to you she was able to leave the hospital with only 2 months
rehabilitation waiting for her. In the end she was the one who delighted in the huge success of this event the most. Her only wish was everyone's happy smiles.

I wish that you, your SD, and your precious family will experience much happiness.

Again, as the representative of the Super Dollfie world, thank you to everyone who was involved with this event in any way.
