>Miu: For me, Nakajima-san is the person I respect most in this world. If I were asked by an interviewer in the workforce, “Who is the historical figure that you respect the most?" I respect her so much that I can say, "Shoko Nakajima!" She is on a par with Oda Nobunaga for me. I respect her that much. For as long as I've been a pro-wrestler, she has always been working hard in the dojo and making an effort. But she didn't think that she was was working hard. Seeing her work so hard and earnestly for so long, I thought that I should follow her example and work hard, work harder and harder, and do my best in wrestling, even if it doesn't lead to any results. That is why I am very happy to be able to fight with Nakajima-san for this belt, and I am sure that I will have to grow even more as a champion in the future. I will definitely defend the belt for the first time.
>--Watanabe said she respects you as much as Oda Nobunaga.
>Nakajima: I think that Oda Nobunaga is a heavy burden for me... I appreciate that you say you respect me, but I don't... (laughs). For the past 10 years, I thought that Yuka Sakazaki was the one I spent the most time with at the dojo, but in recent years, I have always seen Miu Watanabe at the dojo, and sometimes it's just the two of us... I guess you could say that in the past few years, we have been practicing together. I don't know how to say it, but it's like we are training together, so it's a little bit embarrassing to be called like that. It was their generation that made me realize that I never want to miss practice. It was interesting to see the changes every time I went to the dojo. And I thought that if I didn't notice these changes, I would be overtaken in an instant. That was the beginning.
