Yasuyo Saito held a release event on August 2 for her final image DVD and Blu-ray, "Your Name is Forever," shot in Bali. She announced her graduation from image DVDs with this fourth release, calling it a positive step forward. She aims to expand her acting range and admires Haruka Ayase.
The release event took place at Sofmap AKIBA Amusement Hall, where Saito presented the BD and DVD editions of "Your Name is Forever." The shoot in Bali happened in early April, just before she turned 30, and she described the emerald green swimsuit from the jacket photo as her favorite outfit.
Saito said she felt sadness about graduating but framed it as a positive step forward to level up and increase her opportunities. She highlighted scenes of drinking wine in the bedroom and swimming in the night pool for an adult atmosphere, plus a wedding attire segment with falling flower petals.
She is not stopping gravure activities entirely. She has been attending workshops to study acting and named Haruka Ayase, from her same agency, as her goal and someone she admires. Saito also expressed joy at singing with AKB48 first-generation members on the TOKYO MX program "Ginza de Kayousai."
