>— It’s been a while since your last exclusive interview with Nikkan Sports, hasn’t it?
>It’s been a long time. Thank you for having me.
>— What was the reason for starting this new chapter?
>Well, I really wanted to broaden the scope of what I do. I worked independently for a while, but balancing everything was pretty difficult, and I also had this strong desire to appear on TV and in various kinds of media. Since I’m in the final years of my 20s, I felt that if I was going to put my all into my entertainment career, these next one or two years would be the time to do it. So I started looking for an agency that could help me work toward my goals.
>— Why did you choose “Asia Promotion”?
>They have a lot of talents who are active in variety shows, and it’s an agency I’d had my eye on for a while. When I consulted with Sanshiro Takagi from CyberFight, he said he had a connection there and kindly introduced me.
>— What new challenges would you like to take on?
>I’d like to do food-related jobs or work as a reporter. I’ve done stage acting before, but going forward, I’d like to try dramas or movies where I could make use of my pro-wrestling experience. Since I started wrestling, I’ve been even more motivated to push myself in the entertainment world. I’ve been influenced by people like Juria Nagano and Saki Akai, and even Yuki Arai, who’s active both as an idol and in gravure.
>— What are your goals in pro wrestling?
>Right now, pro wrestling is the center of my life, so my long-term goal is to become one of the top five most famous female wrestlers in Japan. The tournament has already started, so I really need to win a belt… (This year I unfortunately lost in the quarterfinals.) I’m currently teaming with Kamiyu as a tag team called “Ober-Eats” (laughs). We recently challenged for the tag belts, so next I’d like to aim for a singles title.
