She had a lot of hardships:
"My career in NXT was also going quite well. But the period was four years, so it was a long time for me. I thought I was going to the main roster, but there was no information. For two years due to the coronavirus, the company itself was not moving. Even though I was able to wrestle, there were weeks when I didn't wrestle. I think it was difficult for me to spend so much time asking myself, "What am I going to do here?''"
In April 2022, she was injured and she missed four months of wrestling:
"I don't know if it was because I had such a mentality, but I had a broken bone in my heel called the talus (on my right side). It was the first time I had broken a bone while wrestling, and it was also the first time I had surgery for a wrestling injury. I still have a bolt in his ankle."
If she ever wanted to return to her home country:
"I did think about it. It's not that I don't like America, but that if there's nothing I can do here, I think there are more things I can do if I go to Japan. The situation of STARDOM I was in before had changed, and I was able to grow significantly after leaving Japan, so I was starting to feel confident that I would be able to show a different kind of work in Japan this time."
What made her decide to stay:
"I have to follow my own policy of never giving up. In America, I could have also approached the company and said, "I want to terminate the contract". But I definitely didn't want to do that, so I set a goal to work hard until the end of my contract, and I stayed there for almost a year. I appeared at SummerSlam (August 2022) when my contract was about to end in one month."
What are her goals for the future:
"I participated in this year's WrestleMania, but next time I would like to do a singles match or a title match. Also, what has not come true is the triumphant return to Japan. I have a feeling that soon there will be more opportunities to show people in Japan the matches I am wrestling."
