Shozuki: "That's right. I worked really hard when I was in Actress. I was working with Akuto and others until halfway through, but then there was talk of her going to America. From then on, I was in a situation where I had to do all the behind-the-scenes work. Of course, Fuka was there and we were thinking about it together, but I was always worrying about behind-the-scenes work and didn't have time to think about my own matches. Ogawa-san really valued that and told the wrestlers to focus on their matches. I'm really grateful for that. However, we also want to make (the organization) better, so we'd like to continue making suggestions in the future, but at the time it was really tough (bitter smile). Problems came up one after the other. I was reaching my limits in many ways."
Julia: "I couldn't think about anything other than the matches. So there were a lot of things you had to do?"
Shotsuki "There were about 40 actresses, including trainees."
Julia "That many!"
Shotsuki "It's tough when that many girls get together. There's a sensibility that's unique to actresses that's different to the pro wrestling world. Pro wrestlers can talk things out in the ring, right? Because that wasn't possible, there was a lot of jealousy and envy, and it ended up feeling like a bit of a nasty women's quarrel. Maybe it was because a lot of the girls didn't have a proper professional attitude, but it was really hard to keep them together. If you took sides, the other one would sulk. It was really difficult to get everyone to move smoothly. I don't have those kinds of worries now."
