>"Of course I remember that day. Everyone may have thought that I would be the one to rebuild QQ once I was on my own, but looking back, a year prior, I fought Tam Nakano in the opening match of 5STAR and dislocated my elbow, which led to a long absence. During that time, I had time to face my future as a wrestler, and it was a time of deep reflection. Also, at a signing session, someone said to me in abusive language, 'I've come here to make you cry,' and I reexamined my own fighting style. I wondered if I should continue to push forward as a babyface as I went forward in my wrestling career. That's when I made up my mind."
>"When I joined HATE, I had to start from scratch and create a new image of a pro wrestler and heel. I was thinking about my fighting style, costume, entrance music, and so on, but I asked Natsuko what kind of presence I should be as HATE. She replied, 'It's best for you to do what you want, freely.' At that moment, I felt like I could run wild the way I wanted, and I think I was able to be myself, freely and unrestrainedly, without being bound by convention. When I was in QQ, I was bound by mysterious stereotypes and became strict (laughs). Now I can do bad things, fun things, and sneaky things in the style I want, so I can say that I am enjoying pro wrestling from the bottom of my heart."
>"(Watanabe) would whisper in my ear... I won't tell you what she said (laughs), but the truth is, we were somewhat connected. Well, it felt like we were destined to be together again. It seems like our servants were hoping that we'd team up as well (laughs)."
