>Moka: "Yamashita-san in the first round. She’s a huge wall to overcome, but I’ve already beaten her twice in the qualifiers, so I’m planning to have a long summer. I’ll do my best."
>Yamashita: "My first match is against Moka. We’ve had quite a few singles matches so far, and with every match, I can see how much she’s grown and gotten stronger. Just now she called me a 'huge wall,' and while I’ve seen some really great performances from her, I still feel like she hasn’t broken through to that next level yet. She has that quiet, graceful Yamato Nadeshiko vibe, right? But I want her to really come at me—like, BAM! I know she’s aiming to beat me, of course, but I want her to break through, to come at me with that extra force—DON! BAM! Otherwise, she won’t be able to beat me.
>And looking ahead, I really want her to show more and more strength as a fighter in Tokyo Joshi. So if she sees me as a big wall, then she should really come at me, break through it, and try to beat me. But of course, I’m planning to surpass that and win. There are lots of other strong people I need to beat in this tournament, but personally, there's one person I most want to fight: Rika Tatsumi. You!
>And I’ve got a proper reason. My last singles match with Rika Tatsumi was in May 2021. It’s actually been about four years. And that match was during the COVID era, with no audience. Even so, it was special—it stood out among all of Rika’s matches. And recently, Rika’s gotten even crazier. In the past four years, I’ve gone overseas and gained all sorts of experience in Tokyo Joshi too.
>I don’t think I’m that crazy, but sometimes people say I am. So fine, let’s decide it—let’s find out who’s really the crazier one. That’s what I want. I’m aiming for Rika Tatsumi. That’s all."
