Natsuko: "Speaking personally, today marks the halfway point of the (5★STAR GP). I beat Suzuki Suzu, and Kid who took a hit from me, but, but, today I beat you Iwatani Mayu and Shuri, who's said to be the strongest. I'm strong, I'm strong. But, next week I'll be in Aichi (Nagoya) with Nakano Tam, and the day after that (Tsuruga) with Natsupoi. To be honest, I think the ones I'm aiming for aren't Iwatani or Shuri, but Nakano Tam or Natsupoi. Hey, how many of you are thinking of coming to Aichi? None of you in Shizuoka (Numazu)! Well, I'll be closing the show on the mic again next week, so you guys can look forward to it. So, tremble and sleep."
Natsuko's comment
"I beat Mayu Iwatani, the Mayu Iwatani, the Icon? IWGP? The one who holds it. That's right, you guys have probably forgotten what I said at the press conference. I'll say it again. There's someone I absolutely have to beat in this 5★STAR, someone I want to face in the finals. But she's in a different block. She's been saying disrespectful things and going to America, acting all frivolous, you saw her match against Dump yesterday, right? Did she do anything? Nothing. The lowest ranked girl was being bullied and she didn't come to help even once. She left it to Kyoko Inoue, what was she thinking? As I just said, Dump taught me a lot of things yesterday. All sorts of things. The result of today's match is only a small part of it. You'll have to keep watching and enjoy what's to come."
