>>16760891She practiced and did odd jobs. Then, it was decided that she would debut in Stardom's new "NB" initiative. It was a tournament based on "Supernova" Miyu Amasaki, and her first match was a singles match against Utami Hayashishita.
>"I had heard that it was a tournament for young people, so I had a feeling that someone making their debut would be in the main event. If it had been my main debut in the main event, I would have been worried, but I was debuting in a tournament that no one knew about, and it was unknown, so I went into it without really understanding what to expect. I also didn't understand the meaning of being called a 'supernova'. I wonder if (Rossy) Ogawa gave me that name? I don't really understand why they call me a supernova when I have no track record or anything... In my opinion, I'm the first rookie since the Bushiroad system was established, so I interpreted it as them having high expectations for me."The NB continued after that. So Amasaki kept saying, "The NB is a tournament for me." No, the truth is that she was forced to say it.
>"It may sound bad, but honestly, that's true (laughs)."The high expectations were also evident in the "Supernova Five-Match Series" held at NB afterwards. However, Amasaki was unable to achieve results in the series against top players. Although it was inevitable from the opponent's perspective, before they knew it, Rina had taken the lead role at NB.
>"It's an honor to have the best-of-five series arranged. But at the same time, I wonder why. But I still have a special attachment to the NB."
