>Six years ago when Tamu came to Stardom, Kairi had just left for WWE in passing.
>Standing in the concession stand at Stardom, she said, "You and Kairi are somewhat alike. I'll be rooting for Tamu from now on." What a voice! I think it was because we happened to have the same color of paper tape.
>Io told me that we are very similar.
