"Cinderella is over. Umm, this is... ah, it's frustrating. I can't put it into words at all, it's frustrating! Rina got the three points... ah, it's so frustrating, but even though it's frustrating, it feels like it was fun. My goal with Rina has always been for people to see us now, and I've always been frustrating that she didn't see us as the future of Stardom. I think that's what I felt too, and Rina felt too, and now people are finally watching us, but I realized it took so long. That was frustrating, too, but I think it was because I was frustrating that I was able to work hard, and ah, I don't know what to say anymore, but it's frustrating, but anyway I'm glad I was able to match with Rina, and I really felt in this semi-final that she has high expectations of us, and that made me really happy. I was happy, but next time I'll definitely get the three points from Rina. I'll definitely beat Rina next time, so for now Rina, I want you to win. Thank you."
