(EVENT RECAP) Dinner & Drinks with NOSAWA Rongai & Takashi Sugiura

14th March 2020

NOSAWA Rongai and Takashi Sugiura held a fan event at DROPKICK today. 

DROPKICK is a famous wrestling bar in Hikari, Yamaguchi and it has become traditional for fans to meet up there prior to wrestling events in the area. The bar is set up with a ring (which has its own management company which arranges the event hire, although I don't think any actual wrestling actually goes on there), and the famous area upstairs which serves drinks and food. 

Due to the Coronavirus the staff disinfected the area, and hand sanitiser was made available at reception. 

I don't really have too much information about the event, but it started with a short talk by Sugiura and NOSAWA in the famous ring (they both had a beer) to welcome fans to the event, they signed autographs for the attendees and on the wall too. 

The dinner took place around four or so separate tables, which NOSAWA and Sugiura appear to have rotated around in order to greet fans. 

Outside the premises is a poster of Kairi Sane, which NOSAWA photographed himself next to imitating her pose and saying he was with a "local hero". 

So Naomichi Marufuji told Kairi that, she was being "targeted by a dangerous man."
