Giulia wrote about Saya Kamitani in her Shupro column this week. In the 5STAR pamphlet, the wrestlers were asked who they want to face in their block and more than half mentioned Giulia.
A particular name caught Giulia's attention the most.
Excerpts.
>I had my first singles match with Kamitani 2 years ago at 5STAR, when she was a newcomer who had just made her debut. She has outstanding physical ability, is tall, has long arms and legs, and has a cute face. I felt that Stardom had some great talent.

>When I put my hand out, she looked at me with fresh and pure eyes and squeezed my hand back. At the time, Giulia was hated by all of the top talent, and no one would ever shake her hand back. I remember that I was so flustered that my nostrils widened about twofold (lol).
(..)
>However, there is something I think about Kamitani. Kamitani often uses the phrase "record of the most defenses". Well, that's what all champions usually say. And it's great to have a goal. But somehow, I feel something strange about it. 8 defenses now? [..] Kamitani has passed me in the number of times I have defended the belt, I loved that belt with all my heart. That's why I think that what really matters is not the number of times you defend, but how much you face each fight, each challenger, and how much passion you put into each match. It's about how deeply you love and what kind of passionate adventures you have had with the belt. It's not dignified to brag about how many times you've done it (Giulia writes "done it" with katakana, "ヤッた", which has a sexual meaning from what I have read). People around you should say that on their own.
>Whenever Kairi would poke her, she would immediately cry and say, "What's wrong with showing your weak self?" It was a bit frustrating to watch. The champion is the "king," right? Then be strong. I think so. The match with Kamitani is scheduled for September 24 in Takadanobaba. I would like to get a good feel for the current white champion.
