>Arai: I’m Yuki Arai, the challenger for the Princess of Princess Championship. This upcoming event at Ota City General Gymnasium in July will be my first big match since graduating from SKE48 and focusing solely on professional wrestling. I spent about 12 years as a member of SKE48 starting when I was 15. I saw many things and truly felt that I had given it my all. At that time, people asked if I was going to retire from wrestling too, but honestly, I feel like I’ve only taken two or three steps forward as a pro wrestler — I still have a long way to go. There are more and more things I want to see and accomplish, and one of those is challenging for the white belt. So I’m really happy that I was able to earn this opportunity to challenge for the belt at a time when Mizuki holds it. I’ve had the chance to challenge for various titles before, but this is the first time I’ve actually won the right to challenge through a match. That gives me a lot of confidence, and since I earned this shot myself, I want to go into Ota City stronger than the version of myself who won the opportunity that day. Up until now, I was juggling both wrestling and idol activities, and that often made me feel like I was holding myself back — even when it came to juniors, I’d sometimes feel like I wasn’t good enough. But now that I’m solely a pro wrestler and standing on the same ground as everyone else, there are still many senior wrestlers I aspire to reach. Some of them once seemed so far away, but now I want to be among them — even one second sooner — and fight alongside them. I want to become a wrestler who can expand the world of Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling even more. That’s why I want to take this white belt from Mizuki and lead TJPW forward. I’m going into this title match with the strong determination to win. Please support me.
