I had a bit of a stressful day, but I managed to get the rest of this done!
The main event of the January 15 show was Nao and Hikari vs Miyu and Itoh. I really like both teams, but found myself pulling for Free WiFi by the end. Sadly, it was not to be 
. Itoh and Miyu’s comments were, uh, very long, but also really funny, haha, so I couldn’t complain too much.
After the match, Miyu’s first line after the “We won!” exchange confused me a bit. I wasn’t quite sure about this line: “忘れた頃くらいにタッグトーナメントくるからあれやったけど、勝ててよかったね.”
Yamashita: “Yes, we did it!”
Itoh: “We won!”
Yamashita: “No, we just have one win for now. It’s been a long time. The tag tournament came right when I had forgotten about it, so I’m glad that we won.”
Itoh: “Are you feeling okay?”
Yamashita: “I’m fine!”
Itoh: “Of course. When I saw your demonic side today, I knew you were alright.”
Yamashita: “It burst out. We’re a team, so I’m getting fired up, and this year for sure One to Million is going to win! Right?”
Then Itoh said, “優勝したいじゃなくてするんでしょ.” I was a bit confused by the negative haha.
Itoh: “I want to win, don’t I?”
Yamashita: “It’s about time for the tag belts… I want to win them with Itoh.”
Itoh: “Huh?”
Yamashita: “We feel the same way, right? Or maybe, your level of love has fallen? While we weren’t seeing each other.”
Itoh: “Whether or not you’re serious about the stuff you’re saying, I think that’ll become clear in the tournament, so I’m looking forward to it.”
Yamashita: “Even if there’s no tournament, I still love you!”
Itoh: “Of course Itoh wants to win it, but—”
Yamashita: “You’re ignoring me…”
Then Itoh said, “口だけの好きとかよく言ってそうだから、あんまり信用できないんだけど.” I struggled a lot with this! Maybe I got it? I dunno.
Itoh: “It’s often only your mouth saying that you like me, so I don’t really buy it.”
Yamashita: “I understand. I’ll prove it in the match.”
Itoh: “OK. Then we’ll close the show. You know, I can actually speak today. What should we say?”
Yamashita: “Limits, don’t set them! But there isn’t a response to it.”
Itoh: “Wouldn’t it be more fun for the fans to say it, too?”
They closed with,“Limits, don’t set them!” 「うおー！」
I wasn’t quite sure about how to translate the “うおー！”, haha.
Their comments backstage were pretty funny, though they talked really fast and interrupted each other a lot. They start off with:
Itoh: “We won! And welcome back, Yamashita!”
Yamashita: “I’m back!”
Itoh: “You seemed healthy, and you were at your most monstrous.”
Then Itoh says, “伊藤はね、自分がちゃんとしなくちゃって気持ちが実はちょっとあったんだけど、そんなこともなく安心しました.” I wasn’t quite sure what she was saying here.
“I’d wondered if I was going to have to do it myself, so I’m relieved that that didn’t happen.”
Yamashita: “There’s one thing that made me happy. After I got hurt, you sent me a LINE message.”
Itoh: “Naturally.”
Yamashita: “I said I was going to take some time off, and I’d be missing England, too… You said, ‘Don’t worry about it. That’s a wise decision.’ But the tag tournament was after that, and I got another message on LINE, which said, ‘Let’s do our best as a tag team again!’ That cheered me up.”
Itoh: “I’m glad.”
Yamashita: “You don’t usually text me, do you?”
Itoh: “Nope.”
Yamashita: “But you sent me a LINE, and I felt that you really had strong feelings for our tag team. That was really great, and I felt my love for you again, and I think it’s good that it soaked in before we started teaming again.”
Itoh: “Well, which of us do you like? Yuka Sakazaki or Maki Itoh?”
Yamashita: “Well… they’re different kinds of love…”
This next part is really chaotic in the video haha and I wanted to make sure I got it right, so I included the shupro transcript for all of it so that it’s a bit easier to follow:
伊藤「（爆笑）。私はなんとなく分かってるので、薄っぺらい好きが」
Itoh: (laughing) “I think I get it. Your love is very shallow.”
山下「違う！ 薄っぺらい好きじゃない。ビジネスライクなの。分かる？」
Yamashita: “No! My love for you isn’t shallow! It’s professional! Does that make sense?”
伊藤「それ言っていいの？ それ嫌われるやつだよ？」
Itoh: “You think that’s good to say? That means you hate me, right?”
山下「違う違う！ ビジネスライクって…」
Yamashita: No! No! Professional, it’s like—"
伊藤「伊藤、すごい冷めたもん」
Itoh: “You’re so cold.”
山下「みんな変えた方がいいよ。プロレスラーとして出会って、仕事を一緒にする上で伊藤に出会えてホントによかったと思ってて」
Yamashita: “Everyone should change, right? Meeting each other as pro wrestlers and working together, I’m so glad that I was able to meet you.”
伊藤「それは仕事で、って意味でしょ？」
Itoh: “So, you mean for work, right?”
山下「そうだよ。人としてじゃないよ」
Yamashita: “Yes. Not as a person.”
伊藤「自分が伊藤麻希を使ってのし上がるために、そのためなら何でもいいみたいな」
Itoh: “That sounds like you’re saying ‘I’m just using Maki Itoh to get ahead, and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get there.’”
山下「バカか！ 違う。人としてじゃないよ？ 仕事として一緒に出会えたことで、やっぱ２人で並ぶことで自分が輝く時もあるしっていうことなので。そういう意味でビジネスライクで愛してるってかんじ」
Yamashita: “Are you an idiot? No! It’s not about you as a person, okay? It’s just that we met each other for work, and there are times when I shine by standing side by side with you. In that sense, it’s professional, and I love you.”
The first part ends with:
Itoh: “I get it.” (laughs) “That’s nice, your purity. It’s splendid. Thank you very much. It’s professional for me, too.”
Yamashita: “I want to change people’s impression of ‘professional’”
Itoh: “In what way? Well, win the tournament, and then that you can change the meaning of the word ‘professional.’”
Yamashita: “You’re my only partner. Because it’s with you, I want to win the tag belts.”
Itoh: “So gallant.”
The next part is a little easier:
(You are in the semifinals)
“Yes. There’s no margin for error.”
Yamashita: “It’s about time we got a combined theme or something. Other tag teams are able to combine their themes immediately, but One to Million has been teaming up for a while, and we haven’t done it at all. AA Cannon combined theirs so fast, didn’t they?”
Itoh: “That’s because we haven’t got results. That’s why we get the treatment of not having a combined entrance theme. After we win the tournament, it’ll start with my song, then after I’m done singing, you’ll come out, or something like that.”
Yamashita: “That sounds good! Let’s win.”
(Next is the winner of Miyamoto & Juria vs Daisy Monkey)
Itoh: “It’ll be a challenge no matter who we face.”
Then Miyu says, “若い子たちは何するか分かんないのが一番怖いので。そこはビンビンに張ってバキバキにぶっ倒していきたいなと.” I wasn’t quite sure about the last part, haha, so I went with what DeepL had.
Yamashita: “The thing that scares me the most about the young girls is not knowing what they’ll do. I want to put up a strong front and beat them to a pulp.”
Itoh: “I think the fans at the venue are just going to support the rookies. That makes me sad, but we’ll just ignore the atmosphere in the room and win by doing our best for ourselves.”
Yamashita: “We won’t read the room.”
(Last year, you were both on overseas excursions, so did you feel distant from each other as a tag team?)
“I don’t think so.”
Itoh: “It’s like we both gained a lot of experience points over the whole year last year. That’s why we’ve been able to improvise in our matches, and our eyes met today.”
Yamashita: “Yes! We’re coming together more and more during our matches. It wasn’t like that before. It was just me.”
Itoh: “Yes! I’ve always been in my own world. But today, our eyes met a lot, didn’t they?”
Yamashita: “With that, we can have a conversation, so I think we’ll be able to show you that this year’s One to Million is truly different.”
And that’s it for Itoh and Miyu! Phew! 
Hikari and Nao’s comments are much more reasonable haha. Hikari starts out:
Hikari: “I’m disappointed at the result, but this is the first time I’ve had a partner who has lasted more than a year.” (laughs)
Then she says, “去年１年はベルトにしろパートナーにしろ、時間が経てばたつほど大切なものになるので。やっぱり離れて欲しくないし、ちょっと手探りなところはずっとあって.” I wasn’t really sure about this part, haha. I think the rest is maybe okay, though?
“That year last year, whether it’s the belt or my partner, has become more and more important to me as time passes. I don’t want us to break up, and we’ve always been a bit fumbling.”
Kakuta: “Yes, that’s true.”
Hikari: “But we were able to do the tournament together again this year… Even though we lost, I think that if we can have more and more fun wrestling as Free WiFi, the results will follow. Please keep supporting us!” (cries)
Kakuta: “People have always said to me, ‘You’re not quitting, are you?’ But even though we got our matching gear together for this opportunity, and today we really put our fighting spirit into it… I’ve lost all three of my tournaments to Yamashita-san. Two years in a row with the singles tournament, and I lost to her again today. I felt sorry, but even though I’m still losing, all I can do is be optimistic about it. I’m frustrated, but I’m thinking about the future of Free WiFi, and we’re going to keep growing. I won’t quit!"
Hikari: “We have to become the poster girls, so let’s do our best.”
Kakuta: “Free WiFi is going to do our best to be positively unbreakable!”
Hikari: “Let’s do it!”
And that’s it! Just about in time for the next show, somehow! These tournament shows are fun, but they sure do love to have every single person talk afterward!
