>“Getting a 3-count on Sareee was the first time in the 10 years since my debut. For me right now, more than challenging for any belt, what I need most is to take Sareee’s head. I see it as a chance to break through my shell.”
>“We’re such close friends that I never seriously thought about wanting to defeat Sareee, and even when she won the Women’s Pro-Wrestling Grand Prize and when she won the IWGP Women’s Title, the feeling of happiness outweighed any feelings of frustration.”
>“This year, I held my 10th-anniversary show and did various things, but in terms of wrestling, it was my hardest year. To be honest, there was a time when I thought I’d just drift along like this and eventually my wrestling life would end. But wrestling Sareee at that time gave me back the feeling of ‘pro-wrestling is genuinely fun,’ just like I had during my White Belt days. I don’t want to lose this momentum. If I don’t surpass Sareee now, I won’t be able to grow that next step inside myself, and if I don’t break down this wall right now, it’s meaningless.”
