>Hasegawa: "Even if I pin someone, someone else will break it up, so honestly, my only chance of winning is to take down everyone (laughs). But if I manage to win here, it’s like I’ve beaten them all at once — it would be like making my dream come true. I’d get to finish with a victory, and with all the seniors involved… plus, there’s the title on the line, so if I come up with the right strategy, I can indirectly beat even the current champion. Though honestly, I just want to run away (laughs)."
>-"You’ve mentioned before that you wanted to fight everyone in Tokyo Joshi Pro before retiring."
>Hasegawa: "That’s right. And now, I actually get the chance to face everyone like this… as long as I don’t get taken down right away (wry smile). But right now, winning is my top priority. So even if I have to tie everyone up and leave just one person, I want to win. No matter what people say, I want to end this with a victory!"
>-"It sounds like a pretty tough victory to pull off."
>Hasegawa: "Yeah… I’m seriously thinking about locking the door, dragging just one person out, and getting the win that way (laughs). I mean, I did say I wanted to fight everyone… but now that it’s actually happening — fighting everyone at once in my final match — I’m starting to wonder if maybe Tokyo Joshi is a little crazy (laughs)."
>-"But among them, there must be some wrestlers you feel particularly attached to, right?"
>Hasegawa: "Of course. I had a title match with Suzume-san, and I had a singles match with Nakajima-san when I first became a regular on the roster… but if I start listing names, I’ll end up mentioning everyone. Ideally, I’d love to get the win over the person holding the belt, but honestly… I want to beat everyone."
>-"There will also be paper streamers thrown during your retirement match. At both the ring call and the ceremony? Or just once?"
