00:00And then he told me that you're the first one.

00:02Oh, really?

00:02Yeah.

00:03Oh, that's amazing.

00:05So how do you feel?

00:07We need to have this record.

00:09Uh...

00:11First of all,

00:13I think the reason why I won was because I played calmly.

00:20It's been a long time, and I think the present is important.

00:35So I'm going to learn a lot as time goes by.

00:39I'm going to practice, and I'm going to make sure I don't make any mistakes next time.

00:43I'm going to focus on that.

00:45I learned a lot last time.

00:49I think it's really meaningful for me to set a record.

00:54It's just the beginning.

00:58I'm really looking forward to what kind of record I'm going to set in the future.

01:04Um...

01:16Honestly, it would be nice if we both won.

01:18But winning always gives me a lot of confidence and joy.

01:27First tournament, first title.

01:29In 2023, you won 10 titles.

01:32This year, do you want to try to become the record holder?

01:38Yeah, I want.

01:41I really want to win and break my own record.

01:44It's one of the things I want to keep doing.

01:47I want to win all 10 titles, 11th or whatever.

01:55I think I'm a little greedy.

01:58Even if my body isn't perfect, I think I'm the most perfect in this state.

02:05From now on, I think I'll just have to take care of myself.
