Q: Finally, "Global Tag League 2019" starts. This will be your third time for three years in a row.
TADASUKE: The finals are somewhere we have never been, and we will go there for the first time this year...we just have to win. We will finish it if we fail for the third year in a row, and with that thought we will go for it.
HARADA: Three times we have entered, and if three times we have not been able to go to the finals...well, for three years there have been various teams, and we have not been able to get results. This is our last chance to make a challenge. This feeling is "something else".

Q: Certainly, you have not left results in the GTJL victory, and the junior tag...
TADASUKE: In terms of results, that's a fact. No ability, no luck...but recently, I have surprised myself. Good vibes. So far its been good, there have been waves of bad, but now I am stable and I feel good...
HARADA (who keeps repeating things): No, its just caught up.
TADASUKE: Are you just catching up?
HARADA: No, the times have
TADASUKE: Ahhh? Have you caught up with the times?
HARADA: Tadasuke
TADASUKE: Finally, I understand what is around me.
HARADA: That is why Tadasuke is flying high. At the last Korakuen (4th May), he took the win from Yoshinari Ogawa, and then on the 12th May, he took it from Kotaro Suzuki in Kawagoe. He took the win from both the junior tag champions. Indeed, the times have caught up.
TADASUKE: If I don't continue like this, it is meaningless. I want to go on like this. After winning, I want to burn out...
HARADA (repeating again): He wants to burn out
TADASUKE: I'll cool down when the belt is raised at the challenge
HARADA: Oh
TADASUKE: I want to combust in the league!

Q: YO-HEY & HAYATA of the same unit, RATELS, are aiming for a third consecutive victory.
HARADA: Winning the league three times in a row will be the first ever achievement in Junior Tag League. However, my first instinct is that I want to crush it. I think that YO-HEY & HAYATA'S third consecutive victory is the first thing that the fans are expecting, but I am going to smash that at the World Hall on the 1st June, and make Tadasuke's "World View".
TADASUKE laughs

Q: So, what about Ogawa & Kotaro, the junior heavyweight tag team champions?
HARADA: The Noah juniors cannot afford to give anything to the older generation, the new generation has to do this. We have to win for that. If we can beat those two, after that the era of Tadasuke becomes real.

Q: Hajime Ohara & NOSAWA Rongai?
TADASUKE: Those two? I'm sorry, personally I find them quite annoying.
HARADA: ...

Q:...Minoru Tanaka & Hi69?
TADASUKE: I don't really have an impression. Sorry....
HARADA: There! He has gone ahead and said it!
TADASUKE: I have no impression! Do you? Being so focused on RATELS and Stinger, not that I care, but they didn't enter in to things much. In a nutshell, I left it behind (rough)
HARADA (repeating): Left it behind, actually.
TADASUKE: I left it, but on this occasion I made a mistake, so I will lead it.
HARADA (about the GHC Junior with Tanaka): He took something from me in the title match, so I want everyone to see what I am going to take directly from him in the league.

Q: This is the second year that Seiya Morohashi and Junta Miyawaki have participated, they lost last time.
TADASUKE: The parent-child tag? A year has made a difference. Junta gave it to Hideki Suzuki at Korakuen (4th May), and speaking from a higher position, I must be cautious.

Q: Are you paying more attention than last year?
TADASUKE: That's right...I have a feeling down there.
HARADA (laughing): I don't want to know what is inside (rough).

Q: Lastly, Hitoshi Kumano & Chris Ridgeway
TADASUKE: Personally, I want to have a crazy match. He is a popular English wrestler. I'm not kidding, when I went to IPW, I was interested. In any case, Ohara was abandoned by Kumano. It is said he was the bear amulet, and are you thinking of being the single item from a set? What do you think of this tag? I think the match will be interesting.
HARADA: He was an interesting wrestler to fight in the UK tournament. I wanted to see what he was like with the other wrestlers, and I am interested by his entry.

Q: To win is the minimum requirement, but who would you like to face in the finals?
TADASUKE: Anyone is fine. It makes no sense if we cannot win. It can be anyone. It's not the case being fixated on HAYATA & YO-HEY. This third time will be the last. Any team is fine.
HARADA: I am just thinking about winning first of all, any opponents I want to face...fight one by one carefully. Steadily chipping away at small things. This is our last chance to win!

Q: Lastly, please say some words to the fans who are looking forward to the start of Junior Tag League.
TADASUKE: Thank you very much. Everyone, at least the age of Tadasuke has come, please look forward to it.
HARADA: Last chance. We will win. Over!
