>The date has changed, but yesterday, after finishing work, I dashed straight to the Airship Theater to participate in #PoiFes! If I were to sum up my impressions in one word, it would be the hope I felt at the 5.31 "#NatsuAndSaori10YearsOfFootprints," which I currently consider the best event of the year. That is, the "revolution" in professional wrestling that expands conventional frameworks and breaks stereotypes, and the anticipation for the establishment of a uniquely Japanese, national-level popular entertainment (a rival to WWE) that I dream of—it was a wonderful event where these feelings came into sharper focus.
>Among the event filled with joy, anger, sorrow, and delight, what shook my heart the most—and I believe everyone in attendance would agree—was the opening meltear song. Especially in "Tears Tail," the choreography of drawing a pentagram during the line "I'm glad it’s a world without answers," and in "Double Frontier," the opening line "You’ll regret saying I’m just an ordinary girl, won’t you?" followed by the choreography where the two cross paths, performed alone, powerfully highlighted the absence of the partner who sang, danced, cried, laughed, and fought alongside as meltear. It wasn’t just my own sadness but imagining the deep sense of loss felt by #Natsupoi that brought tears to my eyes.
>In the fan challenge segment where Natsupoi herself took on various tasks, she succeeded one after another in difficult feats like kendama and chameleon catch—tasks she had never accomplished even in rehearsals—demonstrating incredible focus and the luck of a superstar at critical moments. The newly unveiled song "Life-Sized Determination," which she wrote the lyrics for the first time, was upbeat and engaging. Though not a rap, the sheer number of words, almost enough to make your tongue cramp, felt so characteristic of her emotional and eloquent nature, a great song packed tightly with overflowing feelings.
