>Rossy Ogawa: "I was convinced that it would be a success" in secret meeting with athletes to launch new organization
>Rossy Ogawa (66), former executive producer of "Stardom," held the first meeting for the launch of a new organization on April 2.
>When we directly interviewed Mr. Ogawa as he emerged from a building in Tokyo where the players participating in the new organization were thought to have gathered, he appeared surprised for a moment, but then said, "I could feel the passion of each player, and we had a fruitful discussion. I was convinced that this will surely be a success," he said in a confident tone.
>Although he did not reveal the names of the players or the number of people who attended the meeting, he seemed to have gotten a good sense of the situation, saying, "We received a lot of opinions from the players, and we want to incorporate them into a good management system. I'm sure we'll have something to announce by the end of the month," he said with a smile as he got into his car.
>As for the participants, Stardom's former members, including Utami Hayashishita (25), Giulia (30), MIRAI (24), Mai Sakurai (33), and Yuzuki (19), will be leaving the organization on March 31st, when their contracts expire. Giulia is favored to join Ogawa's new organization, while the possibility of challenging for the U.S. WWE mats remains.
>The night before, Giulia made an electrifying appearance at Noah's Shinjuku event, which drew a huge response. The future of Ogawa and the outgoing members of Stardom is likely to continue to attract attention.
