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.
