>What a surprise!! I’ve been given the incredible opportunity to have an exhibition match with Ai Shimizu!! You might be wondering, “Why me and Ai Shimizu?” So let me explain!
>Actually, we co-starred in a stage play called "Bakumatsu - Ōkami Kick!", during which Ai Shimizu was part of Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling. The play was themed around pro wrestling and even featured active wrestlers, which is how we met!
>By the time I decided to pursue wrestling, Ai Shimizu had already retired, and I was really disappointed about that. But ever since I joined Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling, I’ve always hoped that somehow, someday, we could work together in some form. So, I passionately reached out to Ai Shimizu, and thanks to that, this wonderful opportunity for an exhibition match came to be!
>The reason I thought “Wow, women’s pro wrestling is amazing!!” back then was because of watching Ai Shimizu and Tsukasa Fujimoto. I never imagined I’d debut as a pro wrestler myself, or that a day would come when I’d actually get to fight her like this—but now that it’s here, I want to treasure every second of this once-in-a-lifetime chance and give it my all for those 3 minutes.
>Ai Shimizu!! Thank you so, so much!! I’m truly honored!! Let’s do our best together!!!
