Kifu of the Pair Shogi Game played in Shogi Day in Tendo 2008

I found the kifu of the pair shogi game played in Shogi Day in Tendo 2008. Sente's pair are Frederic Pottier from France and Shimizu Ichiyo(Joryu Osho), and Gote's pair are Jochen Drechsler from Germany and Yauchi Rieko(Joryu Meijin). Pair shogi is very much like doubles in table tennis. One of the pair makes a move one after the other.
