>Shino: I'm incredibly, incredibly grateful to be able to fight against Riho-san within just a year since my debut. It went by in a flash. It made me realize that this is who I am now... It was a match that made me keenly aware right from the start of the year that I need to become much, much stronger. I felt that starting like this has an absolute significance, and I believe there is meaning in what will happen in 2024. (What hints or lessons did you learn toward your first victory by your own power?) Riho-san has a similar physique, but her elbow strikes were overwhelmingly powerful. I've always felt disadvantaged by my inability to grow bigger... But today, in the match against Riho-san, I realized that's not the case, and that I had been giving up on myself. So, I think my mindset will change. It became a turning point where thoughts like 'I'm weak' or 'I'm slender' disappeared.
