On August 10th, Noah's big event "NOAH the CHRONICLE Vol.3" will be held at the Yokohama Bunka Gym. On the day of the event, Kenta Kobashi who will watch the battle on ZOOM, spoke about Keiji Mutoh and Kaito Kiyomiya's special single match saying "This is a good time for Kiyomiya". 

But what does "a good time" mean for Noah's new ace, Kiyomiya mean? 

Up until now Kiyomiya has challenged Mutoh in six man and other tags, but the results have all been inferior, which is why Kiyomiya is enthusiastic about the one on one shot that he has been hoping for. In an interview held on the 8th, Kiyomiya said  "This is a fight of destiny that I have to step into in order to become the number one in the pro wrestling world. I want to dive into this area and show a new scenery". On the other hand, the legend who has accepted the challenge of Kiyomiya said, "After the match is over, Kiyomiya's heart may be broken. I am sorry for it. Isn't it a request from the promotion that I crush him? I think this match was organized because of their expectations for him, but in all truthfulness I am going to crush him."

Kenta Kobashi talks about the battle between the two as a "Good time for Kiyomiya". Kobashi says, "Against the veteran of 1000 battles, there is much to Keiji Mutoh by attacking him from head on". 

However, Mutoh has a thicker and bigger body than Kiyomiya, who has recently sculpted his own body. The point is how Kiyomiya, who only has a career of four years, will challenge him. Kobashi points out the differences in career and points out, "Careers do not collapse so easily. Even though Kiyomiya has been the champion, from Mutoh's perspective, he is still young".

Kiyomiya, who has worked on increasing his speed and the sharpness of his body, has said, "I have something in mind". Kobashi commented, "I am looking forward to how Kiyomiya will attack, and how Mutoh will take it. Making the most of what weapons Kiyomiya has now will be the key to this match." Kobashi also added that he didn't think this match would come together, but that is why "I am very excited about the way this card has come together. I expect strong power from the young man to hit hard. I feel a sense of expectation for Kiyomiya in this match." 

For Noah's New Hope Kiyomiya, it's not only winning and losing, it's also the content of the match but also his own presence, where "all" he has will be questioned.
