What did you guys spend doing this summer?
I was away in New Zealand for Japan National Team’s summer training! Unfortunately, there was not enough snow to call our training satisfactory though. But it had been 3 years since I last visited New Zealand so it was refreshing and fun. When it’s always Europe that you visit, being in a different place is quite refreshing! Of course, it’s important to make practice repeatedly, but it seems more worthwhile in a place you desire. Feelings need to be fulfilled as well. |

Speaking of my summer, I spent most of the time training in Tokyo.
I really hate the heat in Tokyo, the weather is too tough for me. When I step out of my house, I don’t want to sweat so I slowly walk over to my car, jump into it, and speedily turn on the engine. Then, run the car with all the windows wide open until the air-conditioning starts to do its job. That went on daily. Currently I’m in a good condition with training going smoothly and my motivation zooming up. Other than that, it was either going straight home after training, going out to eat or have fun with friends. I truly think it was a stimulative summer for me, meeting a lot of people. They are all people who are each bright in their own fields, all great people. My ideology is to perfect both having fun and training, and I obeyed it word for word this summer. There was much happiness for me being able to meet great people who fulfilled my life. |

The one event that most raised my tension was HERO’S. I was fortunate to obtain a ticket for the fight and went to watch it with my manager, Ken. The last time I saw anything near it was when I was still a kid, at Hakodate Assembly Hall watching Women’s Pro Wrestling which was way far from HERO’S that I felt bit of a culture shock!! Wrestlers like Hokuto and Bull Nakano!!
Above all, Yamamoto KID was by far most impressive. Ken and I were just too excited! Genki Sudo’s entrance performance was something that served as my reference.
Going to watch this fight, I reconfirmed that people need to be entertained as long as they are paying to see it. I know I have the same potential and can delight the fans. Please check out my performance from now on.
Since HERO’S, my motivation sprang way up and is still keeping its high position! Thanks to it, I don’t feel like losing to anybody skiing or in training. I’m being able to train enthusiastically. |

Finally the season is here for people who love the snowy mountains, or for people who just plain love snow, the winter air, or the smell of it, and the delicious foods, but I longed for the season to come as well, maybe even more than anyone else. I really feel this season is the most important season of my career, and I have someone I want to show myself to so I’m full of energy to go out an ski! Though in different fields, let’s seek for utmost fun and personal pleasure together.
In any case, my feelings, my physical, my personal life all are linked together in a big excitement so you can count on me and watch me over. I don’t want people who are watching me to think I’m boring. I’m planning to run through with top speed aiming for the top so I want all of you to enjoy the god given gift called “snow” and have fun with it. |

| So everyone! Always carry a risk in your hands and make aggressive moves without any worries about becoming injured!
I’m gonna move aggressive as well!
