>I wanted to be the best in the world, so I gave up the title I held at the time as the best in Japan and flew to America.
I crossed the ocean thinking I was mentally and physically stronger than anyone else, but the walls of the world were so high that I was knocked down in an instant.
>I almost said (or rather said) "I can't do it anymore" many times, but each time I remembered the faces of everyone cheering me on and managed to persevere.
>I clung on desperately, built it up little by little, bit by bit, and today, in a foreign country, I finally reached the number one spot in the world.
>It was my dream to be number one in the world, but it was definitely thanks to everyone that I was able to make it happen.
>Thank you so much, everyone in Japan, everyone in America, everyone in the world.
