(NOAH) Akitoshi's Tsurezuregusa

Note: The first part of this article does not translate. Saito discusses the kanji "草" in which he discusses how it can mean "substandard" (and "grass", but he says it is not the plant) and also "rough copy", as in someone taking notes in a notebook and because of that theory he has named this article "Akitoshi's Tsurezuregusa" (he has used Chinese characters for his name, translating it into Zhang Jun). "Tsurezuregusa" he has taken from a book of a collection of essays written by a medieval monk c. 1330-1332. "Tsurezuregusa" means "Essays in Idleness" or "Harvest of Leisure". Saito has written this in the same style as he stays on the same subject with one essay leading into another.
Well, Mutoh has decided to participate in the Fukuoka event. It may be the last time we see him here...no, it will be the last time. Speaking of my own fight in Fukuoka, our Funky will be facing off against Masa Kitamiya and Shuhei Taniguchi. Kitamiya is a wrestler who has established his own style of fighting, and along with his stable strength, he has a strong body and a tough spirit that can withstand head on fights. He is a wrestler who makes me realize that clashing with him is what an image of a pro wrestler is. The pain caused by the collision should primarily be damage, but in the depths of my heart it ignites the wrestler's spirit, and contrary to the pain in my body, my heart will flare up even more.
Another meaning is distilled liquor, which has a high alcohol content. Maybe it is the same. There are even products with high alcohol content that say fire is strictly prohibited on the label, so it may be the same in terms of burning up.
A long time ago when I was trying to promote myself by showing off my strength, there was a time when I emptied a bottle of vodka called "Spirytas*..."
Taniguchi was the founding member of Funky, and was the member who won the team's decision of KING. The reason why I wrote "team" earlier was that at that time we shared common goals, goals to achieve and ways of doing things. It was because I thought Taniguchi was in a group that could fulfil it's responsibility for solidarity, but maybe from that time on, Funky for him was either a group or a unit. That doesn't mean anything bad, so and that's why I'm paying attention to his actions that has caused consequences to himself by the ripples from the stone he threw when he left Funky. The specs he has are infinitely high, and after this clarify the landing site and assert yourself in order to reach it. Yes. All that is left to do is to let the ego grow. Normally, many humans develop their own identities between the ages of 1 and 2, but...it is a funny story in which self esteem emerges and then independence comes. I want to see who the high spec Shuhei Taniguchi is. As for myself, I will stand in the same corner as Yone, who is perfect both as a wrestler and in terms of style. I think this is going to be a fight where you ask yourself questions and check the answers while confronting each other in order to show your own ID.
Now that Mutoh's "Retirement Road" has entered the countdown, there is a valuable match at the Fukuoka event. Kojima and Ninja Mack, who will come together as a group in the same corner, have entered the card. But, if you think about it carefully, there are things that have one side of "Gurei Tobuta"*, "Lonely Fighter" (Satoshi Kojima, Saito is using play on words using Chinese character readings) and "Ninja" side by side, it makes me wonder. Marufuji, Jack Morris and Hatata* will be in the opposite corner, and it makes sense they were chosen to stand across from the ring here.
What is the meaning of this card...
In the same corner the "era that flowed together" leads to "Talking about battles between geniuses" and the selection of "Hope of Hope." Furthermore, the battle between juniors and heavyweights can be seen.
The divination of Mutoh's surname says, "Blessed with talent and popularity. Acquire fame". I think everyone would agree with this. Since this is Mutoh's Retirement Road, it goes without saying that "Keiji Mutoh's assertion" and "Inheritance from Keiji Mutoh" will be held until the very end of all roads from now on.
Inheritance...it's not something that can be taught.
I feel that it is something that can be taught logically.
It is because it happens in the spur of the moment.
Genius is like that.
That's why you interpret with your own sensibility, and pass it down yourself with that...
What is the significance of the card I mentioned earlier?
Isn't it "light?"
What is "light?"
It goes without saying that it is Mutoh's presence and charm that emits light from the ring that is amazing.
No other wrestler can afford to lose. This is also a pre match for the juniors, so they can't afford to lose, but the heavyweight's can't afford to lose either.
But the main character is...
There are many ways in how light shines.
A light that asserts itself and does not yield, a bright and warm light that illuminates the whole, a dazzling glittering light. A light that blocks the view of the oncoming lane with a high beam, a screw in light that seems to illuminate the whole, the light that is reflected by the sun on the sea and the light that shines through the gaps in the trees.
What kind of "light" will each wrestler emit in this match?
Must it be released?
What do you think?
The Retirement Road on a countdown is a hard to find item, and in other words, it is beyond the law of high value scarcity. We hope you will enjoy the once in a lifetime "battle" or "fight" at the Fukuoka International Centre which can be said to be a super real one-time offer.
Speaking of memories of Fukuoka, the food stalls I went to after the match to heal my mind and body, the Motsunabe, Mizutaki, sweet potato shochu, the Hakata ramen, the Mentaiko and the warmth of people come to mind. In recent years, many businesses have been introduced and the area has become popular as a nice place to live, and many people have moved there. Perhaps it is because of its charm and the fact that it is only five minutes from Hakata by the subway, and it's open food stalls where you can hear the lively conversations of men and women of all ages.
When I was writing this note, I remembered a documentary that I saw a few years ago. The warmth of people was glimpsed. It was human nature that could be seen from the history of Mentaiko.
The main character and his wife lived in Busan, South Korea, and that was the beginning of the relationship with Mentaiko.
Kimichi and Mentaiko were never missing from the daily side dishes, but in 1946, they moved to Fukoka where his brothers lived and with the thought that his wife should never forget the taste, the husband spent days and nights trying to make Mentaiko with that taste. The Mentaiko was created in 1949, but even on January 10th (just after the beginning of the New Year), there continued to be days when it didn't sell for about ten years. Come to think of it, the origin of the name "Mentaiko" comes from the Korean word for walleye pollack, which is called "Myontae." In kanji, Mentai means "roe", so Mentaiko means "Miyonteko" and it seems that it has become "Mentaiko". Even after the product started selling he said, "A first class product sells the best at the lowest price. Selling the best product at the highest price, is not a first class product." In thanks to Hakata for accepting him, he continued to donate to facilities and the Yamakasa (festival) and was happy to teach people who wanted to know how to make Mentaiko, without making it a trade secret...and now he is famous.
Fukuoka has such a story, so why don't you relax in the friendly city with gourmet food after watching the hot once in a lifetime match?
NOTES
*Spirytas has an alcohol content of 96%, and Japan lists it as highly flammable as it needs to be handled like gasoline.
*Great Muta's theme
*Not an error by me, Saito wrote HAYATA'S name as this. I have chosen to keep it in as I think it's very sweet.
