(NOAH) "Heartwarming service", "Moved to tears" - Keiji Mutoh moved deeply by flight attendants gratitude

17th October 2022

The Answer

What is the content of the letter that Keiji Mutoh received from flight attendants? 

Keiji Mutoh, a professional wrestler, who has announced his retirement in February next year, participated in the Fukuoka International Centre event of Pro Wrestling Noah, on the 16th which was his last match in Kyushu. On the plane going back to Tokyo, he was handed a letter by a cabin attendant. Impressed fans commented, "Heartwarming service!" and "Didn't you cry?". 

The 59 year old Mutoh, who received something well timed while flying, updated his Twitter on the 17th, one day after the match in Fukuoka. He wrote, "On the flight home from Fukuoka, I received a heartwarming letter from the flight attendants" and posted a photo. The letter was written in polite handwriting* and read; 

"Mutoh-sama*, thank you for boarding today. Thank you for your hard work yesterday in your last match in Fukuoka. All the crew members are praying that the remaining matches will be the best without injuries, and please spend wonderful days while caring for your overworked body in your second life"

The 117-character letter seems to have inspired the fans, who wrote in the comments section, "Heartwarming service!", "That's a lovely story", "Mutoh is happy to be loved so much", "I'm glad to hear this", "Flight attendants are pro wrestling fans too, aren't they?", "Didn't Mutoh cry?"

Notes

Polite handwriting: This means that they have used the highest level of polite and respectful speech

Sama: Honorific higher than "San". This is something you would probably address a corporation boss as or a member of the nobility.
