>To Yumiko Hotta’s 40th Anniversary Show—

>When I first encountered women’s pro wrestling, she was already an active powerhouse, and she was the reason I entered All Japan Women’s. But I retired earlier in May… I truly thought, “I wish I could have been on this show!!” It was such a wonderful event. I wonder how long feelings like that will keep welling up in me.
>But seriously! To stay active for 40 years, devoting body and mind to one thing—that strength!!
>I’m sure there were many times it was painful, miserable, and she couldn’t get back up.
>And yet she kept getting back up—that’s why pro wrestlers are strong. No, that’s why Hotta-san is strong.

>I’m glad I could go back to being a Hotta fan and cheer for her again.

>When I was given the chance to step into the ring, hearing the crowd shout “Passion!” made me very happy.

>And with NanaMomo, we got to take a photo with Akira Hokuto.
