00:00音楽
00:30Well, Sonata is always the shining star of his own mind.
00:42At least that is what Sonata would tell you if he was one for words.
00:46But the cold-blooded snake has been dead silent for many a month now.
00:50And certainly throughout this G1.
00:53But, well, actions always speak louder than words.
00:55And Sonata has not exactly been putting on the actions either, Fantastico.
01:00Only four points on the board here for Sonata.
01:02And if Sonata loses out to you, Yuhua Moran, tonight, it is not sudden elimination.
01:08But you're right on the bubble, basically at the point.
01:11Who cares, dude?
01:12Look how cool he looks.
01:14Well.
01:15He looks like...
01:18He looks like a shower curtain in a bathroom.
01:21Yeah.
01:23When I was tripping balls that one time.
01:26Oh, Jesus.
01:27When I was 23.
01:28Right.
01:32I don't know where else you would find a shower curtain, Fantasmo, but that's okay.
01:37Do you have a shower curtain at home?
01:39Well...
01:39Or do you have, like, a glass sliding?
01:41I have a couple shower curtains.
01:42And none of them look like what Sonata's wearing.
01:45I'll tell you, this man is a fashion monster.
01:47How many showers do you have?
01:49I have two showers.
01:51Jesus, unbelievable.
01:52Wow, give me a break.
01:54Barely affordable.
01:57I have one, and the goddamn bath tub is wobbly.
02:01Seriously, you have to be careful getting out of it.
02:04It's a bath tub not glued to the wall.
02:07It's just crazy.
02:08Remember that one?
02:09I don't recommend it.
02:12But if you ever need it, it's there.
02:15I got three kinds of body wash.
02:20I like to change up my smells.
02:23It's only smells.
02:26Shout out to the sickos who got that reference.
02:31Four points on the board for Sonata against Yuya Uemura tonight.
02:35I like the little red sticks in the crowd.
03:05But I don't know if the fans know, but my glasses have colors for every faction in New Japan.
03:15Really?
03:15Yeah.
03:16Wow, where can we purchase those glasses, man, then?
03:18But you can't because they keep selling out.
03:20Oh, wow.
03:21And I very underestimated people's desire for blinky sunglasses.
03:27But I love them for it, but they will be coming soon.
03:31I have to get more.
03:32Yeah, we're going to hope for the restock soon.
03:33But anyways, to go back to the point, you can make them red and white to match Yuya.
03:39Oh, well, Yuya Uemura.
03:42Or red and yellow.
03:44Sorry.
03:46You can do red and yellow and red and white.
03:49You just can't do three colors.
03:51Yuya Uemura!
03:52Oh, red and white, red and yellow.
03:59Conversation about colors aside, Yuya Uemura is feeling a little black and blue right now.
04:03He kind of looks like a hotel bathrobe, you know?
04:05Hey.
04:06He's got the bathrobe and Sonata's got a shower curtain.
04:08You're on a battle of the bathroom.
04:10You're on a bath kick right now.
04:11You're on a bath kick right now.
04:13You're on a bath kick right now.
04:15You're on a bath kick right now.
04:16You're on a bath kick right now.
04:17You're on a bath kick right now.
04:18It is a singles match that we have not just seen once, not just twice, but now for the third time in 2025.
04:26It is Yuya Uemura and Sonata.
04:28And it has always gone the way of Uemura every single time out.
04:32First round of New Japan Cup this year.
04:34Uemura eliminating Sonata back in Corican Hall.
04:37Less than a month later, Uemura in a special singles against Sonata.
04:41And Ryogoku victorious again.
04:44That makes me happy.
04:45Because Sonata, the trade, little poor Yuya, they used to be just guys together.
04:54No matter how many guys that there were in that faction, Yuya Uemura, even upon joining just five guys back in the year of 2023,
05:03had all the intention in the world of eventually facing every single one of them in singles competition.
05:10Faced off against Taichi earlier on in this year's G1 in a loss, but has beaten Sonata multiple times over.
05:16And you have to wonder, the confidence of Uemura is sitting high at eight points right now.
05:21The first of three men with an opportunity tonight to find double digits on the board.
05:26If Uemura wins, he will top block A at ten points.
05:30And, of course, Evil and Yota Tsuji still an opportunity to match Uemura.
05:34I like Yuya doing that for sure out of the three.
05:37Yeah, right.
05:37Let's go Yuya.
05:38Ten points, baby.
05:39Come on, guys.
05:41Come on.
05:44As Yuya Uemura and Sonata, I've been seeing a little bit of what you could call flashes of brilliance,
05:51flashes of the old Sonata, that rounding body press, some of these moonsault attempts that we've seen
05:55that, well, brought Sonata to the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship just a few years ago.
06:00It was very hard to predict what kind of Sonata you're going to get.
06:03Right.
06:03And it's almost been an identity crisis for Sonata in this year's G1.
06:08And I think, I mean, partially you could relate up to the point of last year's G1 Climax,
06:13where, you know, you were kind of trying to figure out yourself a little bit more.
06:16You were down in the dumps.
06:17You had lost a tag team partner and a friend in Hikaleo.
06:20And now, well, Sonata, I think he hasn't really lost anything other than a couple of G1 matches,
06:25but I think he's really trying to find himself a little further.
06:27Beautiful technical wrestling that I wasn't expecting.
06:41I'll be honest with you.
06:42But I'm very happy.
06:43Right.
06:43And I agree with you here, Phantasmon.
06:45I think Sonata, this is the best Sonata that you could possibly hope for.
06:50But you have to know that affiliation with House of Torture is still going to leave a lot of doubt
06:54in a lot of people's mind.
06:57That's how the rest of this matchup is going to go,
07:00and not to mention that damn guitar at ringside.
07:03Sonata is used to, well, put down a few men in this year's G1 already.
07:08Does he keep getting new guitars?
07:09Yeah, I think he has to be getting a hell of a deal out of him, that's for sure.
07:16As Uemura and Sonata is a battle for control right now in the center of the ring.
07:23Oh, look at this.
07:24Oh, beautiful.
07:25Sonata back on his feet.
07:25Oh, nice leg trip.
07:26Sweep the leg cover here.
07:29And one more attempt here.
07:30Other arm up.
07:33Bridge.
07:36Good call there for Uemura.
07:39Sonata trying to figure out how to match pace.
07:44Uemura's still.
07:45Look at that neck strength.
07:46Yeah, that is, I mean, that is the fundament of what they teach you in the No Gay Dojo Fantasma.
07:51And that's all Sonata's weight.
07:53Driving down.
07:54Oh, not that time.
07:57Oh, fakes the monkey flip.
07:58Gets him with an arm drag.
07:59Beautiful.
08:00There's the arm drag.
08:01Again.
08:03Holds on for wrist control.
08:05That's classic Uemura right there.
08:07Back to the basics, and the basics work.
08:09Yep, they do.
08:11But as much as Uemura is proof that the basics work in professional wrestling, Sonata has
08:16seemed to be proof at least a couple times in this G1 that all the underhanded actions work.
08:22And you know that just as well as anyone.
08:23You've done your time doing the exact same stuff when you were a part of it.
08:27No, I never did.
08:29How do you know?
08:30You weren't even here.
08:32I have the tapes.
08:33All right.
08:35VHS, you have a player?
08:37I have a couple.
08:40Man, you've got multiple everythings.
08:45Sonata on a great arm drag.
08:47Take down Uemura right back into it, though.
08:49Not going to let go of the hold if he can keep it in.
08:51No.
08:53Let's get out of there.
08:54No, you know, Yuya, even if he has defeated Sonata in two straight singles matches earlier this year,
09:01that does not mean that he is going to look past or look through Sonata in G1 action.
09:07You cannot underestimate, especially with house and torture, always lurking ringside.
09:11May not be right now.
09:12You have no idea where they are in the building.
09:14There's that arm drag again here of Phantasmal.
09:17But, I mean, what a treat it would be if they just wrestled like this the entire match.
09:22Yeah, right.
09:22I mean, but you can only get suckered in for so long before you start to think,
09:26well, there's always got to be some sort of shenanigan with Sonata.
09:29That's what we've come to see so far.
09:31That's why you hate him, because he can't do this.
09:34And he chooses to dye his hair like a blonde ladybug.
09:45Sonata now, one of that lariat.
09:47Ooh, good fake out there.
09:49I like it.
09:50And that shining wizard from Sonata.
09:52Five minutes down and a 30-minute time limit,
10:02and Sonata really tending to that left arm right now.
10:08Okay, go, go, go.
10:10Well, you just got to be careful with the face shots,
10:12because something happened to him this tournament.
10:15His eye is red, and it doesn't look good.
10:22Sonata, look at this twist off the top,
10:30that magic screw driving that neck into the canvas of Yuya Uemura.
10:38Sonata keeping pace, slow, methodical, comfortable.
10:42This neck crank, the skull end, as they'll call it.
10:48Looking to sit in deeper,
10:49Yuya Uemura coming to avoid that flesh.
10:52Come on, Yuya.
10:55Get her!
10:59Sonata now, watch it.
10:59There's that flash we talked about.
11:01Oh, nice camera.
11:01Got it.
11:02Got it there.
11:03Back on the feet, Sonata,
11:04and looking for something of his own.
11:07Both men on the feet one more time.
11:10Gets it.
11:11Suplex for Yuya Uemura.
11:16Come on, Yuya.
11:19Come on, Yuya.
11:19Come on, Yuya.
11:19Come on.
11:19カメラを見る前に、
11:29前は赤いの前が赤いに全ては赤いのものが見えたの。
11:34そのまま、上のカバーで、
11:36ウマオラは2を持っている。
11:39そのまま、アームのサナダを持っている。
11:43バーシックの仕方はやら、
11:46アームの仕方を愛している。
11:48I mean, the literal driver's seat that YuYi Uemura stands in right now and now.
11:54We'll have full extension for the moment,
11:56but it's going to be forced to break here,
11:58courtesy of referee Marty Osami.
12:04So you got to love the kid.
12:06Didn't even let Marty start counting.
12:08Broke the hold right away.
12:10Play by the rules.Respect his business.
12:13Not something at all that Sonata would have done.
12:18Uemura flying high in G1 right now.
12:21Three straight singles victories over Callum Neumann,
12:24over Evil,over the ace of the universe Hiroshi Tanahashi
12:28In our main event 48 hours ago.
12:31Great match.
12:32Yeah,it was a wonderful spectacle.
12:34If YuYi Uemura can keep up that power though.
12:37Whoa!
12:38Nice chop.
12:39Keep up the grind,keep up the schedule.
12:41It's a hard thing to do.
12:43Uemura now off the ropes.
12:45Sonata captured.
12:47Head down first.
12:49Watch it.
12:50Oh,he goes for the arm bar.
12:51I like it.
12:52No,no.
12:53Uemura switched in.
12:54You called it right there.
12:56And Sonata turns it around on the cover.
12:59Hits two.
13:04Uemura one more time.
13:06Beautiful bridge.
13:07I love it.
13:08Cover.
13:09Still not enough to put Sonata down.
13:12Uemura.
13:13Oh nice.
13:14Flying twisty arm drag.
13:19Uemura one of that deadbolt trying to get the hook in.
13:26Deadfall instead to come.
13:28Uemura though.
13:29Now switching levels.
13:32Sonata with a dropkick.
13:34Uemura.
13:35Old school ends occurring.
13:37Nice.
13:38Uh oh.
13:39Marty.
13:40Get out of there.
13:41Get out of there Marty.
13:42I don't like this.
13:44Oh wait a minute.
13:45Oh yeah you saw it right there.
13:48So did Sonata.
13:51Oh it is what we had to expect out of Sonata and professional wrestling.
13:58And a low blow to Yuya Uemura.
14:03It's one thing to know it's coming.
14:05Fukuoka is right.
14:07Boo that man.
14:08Yeah they should.
14:09Boo him out of the damn building.
14:11I don't want to see this match come to an end.
14:12Not like this at least.
14:14Oh not the damn guitar.
14:16Yeah this is outrageous.
14:19Well Sonata has been playing through every single genre throughout this G1.
14:24Every single tune he can find but.
14:27Marty Asami's taken down here.
14:34Just stay down Yuya don't get up and he can't hit you with the guitar.
14:40Basics.
14:41Oh.
14:42And Uemura captured in the back.
14:45What are you doing there's no referee.
14:47Yeah no Marty Asami made a glass tonight.
14:50Nothing to be done about it.
14:52Young Lion's trying to wake Asami out.
14:54He's knocked out cold.
14:56Oh God wait a minute.
15:03Get the guitar Yuya.
15:04Oh no oh man.
15:05It's Konamaru coming out of ringside.
15:07What the hell.
15:08What the hell.
15:09Boo this man too.
15:11Konamaru a former member of Just Five Guys.
15:14A former mentor for the short period of Yuya Uemura.
15:17And it's a damn disgrace of what this company has made of House of Torture.
15:27Go home.
15:28That's what these fans are calling for in Fukuoka.
15:32Konamaru watch it.
15:34No.
15:35Uemura wants it.
15:39Oh whiskey in the eyes.
15:40What the hell.
15:42Oh.
15:46Uemura served up on a silver platter.
15:49Oh no.
15:51Oh no.
15:52Oh no.
15:53Oh no there might be sharks.
15:55Yeah the pieces of that wood and the guitar.
15:57And the guitar and the wood pieces.
15:59Yuya can't see.
16:01Oh yeah he's blinded by the whiskey.
16:03Oh my God.
16:05Oh put them in there.
16:08Oh I just
16:23You go.
