─ How about you, MAO?
MAO I played baseball, but I didn't like martial arts at all. But when I went to stay at my best friend's house who was into pro wrestling, he showed me "World Pro Wrestling Ring" (TV Asahi) in the middle of the night, and it was a bloody match between Togi Makabe. At that time, I asked myself, "Can people die from this? Is he going to be okay? I thought, "Wow, that's amazing! Then, my friend had a Game Boy Advance game called "Fire Pro Wrestling.
There was a move called "La Mahistral" in that game. I started copying it with my friends in the hallways at school. Then, I started playing to reproduce "Phi Pro" moves, and as an extension of that, we started playing wrestling. Then, I took the liberty of shooting videos with my digital camera, editing them with Windows Movie Maker, adding sound, and posting them on YouTube.
─ That was around 2010, wasn't it? The videos are still on YouTube today.
MAO Yes. For some reason, there were junior high school students doing the same thing in various regions at that time, and a kind of culture called "junior high school student wrestling" was born.
