>>9218741After a while, I understood it. I felt that I wasn't the right person to be in the centre.
At first I was frustrated and couldn't stand it, but now I'm satisfied with myself.
It's not about excuses or convenient interpretations, but because of the sides, the centre can exist.
The sides are important too.
It's not about being a supporting role or anything like that.
I don't intend to be like that, not even for a millimetre.
It's more about being the right person for the job.
I want to be a side, but a necessary side.
I have never protected anything. I've never carried anything.
I've never seen the world like that, though.
I like it, after all, wrestling.
I could hate it, and then, gracefully, I'll quit!
I think how much easier it would be if I could just say "I've found what I want to do next! I've found what I want to do next!"
But unfortunately, I love wrestling and I still want to be a wrestler.
Naho Tsunoda was a candidate who would have quit earlier than anyone else.
I realised that it will soon be my eighth anniversary, and I will be in my ninth year.
Under the legendary wrestler Yumiko Hotta, I had so many tough practices that I almost puked my guts out, and how I was going to quit! I thought and laughed.
I cried so hard in the dressing room after every match, I thought, "I'm not cut out for this, I'm quitting! I'll quit now!
There was more pain than fun...
But the feeling I get when I'm having fun is hundreds of times happier than when I'm in pain, and I like pro wrestling even though I'm complaining about it.
When I came to Tokyo Women's, I fell in love with wrestling even more and more.
It's amazing how much you love it.
You can't do it if you just love it.
There are many things in the world that you can't do just because you like it, but I've been standing in the ring this long just because I like it.
If you dig for the negative, you can dig for anything.
I want to do my best, focusing on my good points and what I want to develop.
