Magnificent comments
"Today, I successfully defended my Future title for the second time. My opponent for the second time was Mai Sakurai. I've known Mai Sakurai for a long time, but I think today was the first time we really went all out against each other like this. I'm glad my opponent for my second title defense was Mai Sakurai. And I'm looking forward to seeing who my opponent will be for my next title defense. Well, there are a few people who would like to challenge me, so I might nominate them, or I'll be waiting for people to step up and challenge me. Second title defense successful!"

Comments from Shimi-gumi
Shimi: "Today we had Maihime and Lady. Maihime is of course an important opponent, but it's really rare for me to stand opposite Lady like this. Lately, seeing how much fun Lady is having working with DDM and growing, I've been wondering if QQ is even necessary for her. But after facing her today, I can see that Lady has definitely grown. She might be growing with DDM during this period, but what I'm certain of today is that QQ is where Lady will return to. We were rivals today, but I'm sure that when she comes back to QQ, she'll be a much more mature Lady, so please look forward to it."

Julia: "Ahhh, how are you all doing gathered in Takadanobaba...? Julia is doing great... just kidding. Is Tsukiyama here? Not yet. Tsukiyama, I get a bit of a Nakano Tam vibe from you. Your mentor also climbed up from rock bottom, you know? And if you don't give up, you'll definitely win someday. And the important thing is what comes after that. You should come over to this side soon. I fought all10of them with the feeling that I was really challenging for a title match. But Tsukiyama, listen to me. You'll be fine. I almost lost to you today. You even countered my Glorious Driver. Did you see that? I was like, 'Seriously?!' and it ended up being a draw. I've never drawn with you before, have I? I messed up... And Nakano Tam, I need you, and you need me too, right? So,you two, don't be down, let's keep going with energy. Right? To hell with all those people who go on and on about this and that. Don't worry about them. Stop worrying about it! Let's enjoy pro wrestling more. Today I10people, but I think it's good to have a trial like this once in a while. Thanks, bye-bye."
Tsukiyama shouts "Thank you!" without a microphone
Giulia: "I've talked for too long, but the real purpose of today's match is a 10 -match series to test myself in preparation for my title match against Suzu Suzuki on February 4th in Osaka . I've only just become the Red Champion, but I wonder if I can climb my way up from here and become strong enough to be an absolute champion...? I'll definitely put in the effort... oh, there he is."
Suzu: "Hey, hey, hey,10people, so watch me,' so I stood there and watched the whole time. I'm very sorry that you gave such an emotional speech."
Julia: "I'm so sorry."
Suzu: "10of them, but it's just been draws!"
Julia: "Because it was fun."
Suzu: "Is that really okay?"
Julia: "So today I've identified areas where I'm still lacking and things I need to improve. Yes, yes. I'm fine!"
Suzu: "Stop swaying around, are you okay?!"
Julia: "It's okay."
Suzu: " On February 4th , I'm going to win this belt and become the face of Stardom, so be prepared!"
Giulia: "Do you want to become the face of Stardom?" Suzu: "Of course I do!"
Julia: "Okay, I get it. But let me tell you something. Julia is the face of women's professional wrestling. Sure, Suzu, you're amazing. But let me tell you one thing. To me, you're still my little sister. Try to break through that wall. Let's settle this properly on February 4th."
Suzu: "I'll put it on you. You might get too caught up in your emotions and lose this belt, so be careful. If you're the face of women's pro wrestling, then I'm the face of pro wrestling!"
Giulia: "What a woman... I wasn't like that... Well, emotional feelings, I'm not really emotional or anything like that... I just want to be honest with myself at that moment. So it's okay. I'm totally switched on now! The face of the pro wrestling world? If so, Giulia will become the Giulia that Japan can be proud of, so you guys look forward to it. I'm fired up! So, there's the evening show (event) coming up, so for those of you staying tonight, I'll see you again later. And for those of you who can't come to the venue on February 4th in Osaka, PPV is fine, so please don't miss the 5- year showdown between Suzu Suzuki and Giulia, I'd be happy if you could watch it. So, that's all for today. Thank you for spending 30 minutes with Giulia. Arrivederci, see you later!"
Julia's comment
"I suggested the 3-minute, 10- person challenge myself . It was really tough... It was tough, but this challenge made me feel like I was back to basics. Energetic people kept coming one after another, something I don't usually experience. I'm really glad I was able to experience that at this time. I want to do it again. Today was my first time doing this 3-minute, 10- person challenge. It was the first time I did it since becoming a pro wrestler, but I want to do it again. After some time has passed. When something important happens again. Today I really felt my shortcomings. Now I just need to adjust and get in shape for February 4th. And today's 10- person challenge ... I'll tell you about all the people who were there, but I can't talk about all 10 of them here , so I'll tell you about them somewhere else. Each and every one of them has their own feelings. But the real purpose was to give myself a test in preparation for the title match against Suzu, so I ended up having fun. And wow, to be honest, I'm really tired. I'm really tired, but I'm really glad I had this experience today. Because I'm the red belt champion, I'm the champion. From here on, I'll get stronger and stronger and climb to the top to become the face of Japan as a representative of professional wrestling. So just watch me. Suzu, you're holding back your emotional feelings too, aren't you? You cry a lot. But you know, I've already gotten rid of all that. I've moved on. On February 4th, let's give it our all. The winner is stronger. I'm looking forward to it. That's all. Thank you very much."
