(NOAH) "I will write about Harada's absence up until now" - Note by Pro Wrestling Noah Trainer, Kento Nagahama

In August, Dr Asamoto, who conducted the check up, contacted me and asked me to come earlier with Harada. When I heard why he wanted me to come early.
It was cervical atlantoaxial subluxation.
I didn't expect Harada to be in such a condition. Harada was doing treatments diligently, and his range of motion was impeccable. Rather, it was better than the general public. He never complained of numbness to me, nor did weights become unmanageable during training. I never imagined that he would be advised to retire while his body is in such good shape. At Harada's request, from there I began treatment with a little hope.
In September, October and November, treatments and checks up were held in anticipation of ligament recovery using hyperbaric oxygen therapy. I think it was very difficult for someone who hadn't been disabled to spend 24 hours with a neck brace for 3 months. I think that it was all about wanting to continue wrestling. After removing the brace, I performed treatment at my home for two to three times a week in December, January and February. As a result, although the alignment of the cervical vertebrae was recovered, the treatment was discontinued because there was no improvement in the critical atlantoaxial part and it became a situation of retirement. As long as Harada didn't give up, I thought I shouldn't give up either, so I continued to explore various treatments and methods. A press conference was held in which the retirement match was decided, after which the manipulative therapy that he had booked ended. He couldn't stop crying when he got home.
I will never forget the events of the past few months, and looking at this poster, I can really feel Harada's feelings. I think that everyone needs time to seriously think about their own bodies once again.
Life is not all about today. There is a future. Although it was semi forced for Harada, he chose the future and I think his resolution will be rewarded if he chooses to live as an individual as someone with a family. I hope that all pro wrestlers and wrestling fans will be able to root for Harada, please support him in in the final minute at the venue and via live stream.
Lastly, I will post a photo of the first I asked for a picture with a pro wrestler. It is from June 2015. What happened when I contacted him to thank him for the photo and the taxi at a later date? He said he had forgotten (laughs).
Even after retiring from pro wrestling, I would like to ask for your continued support as an individual.
Thank you for reading to the end.
