Utami Hayashishita Eyes Overseas Move After Marigold Departure; Admits Being Freelance "Doesn't Suit My Personality"

Utami Hayashishita Eyes Overseas Move After Marigold Departure; Admits Being Freelance "Doesn't Suit My Personality"

Plans for the Future

"Actually, I think a lot of fans might be expecting me to go freelance. While part of me wants to meet those expectations, I'm the kind of person who can only remember her schedule one day at a time, so I'd definitely mess it up (laughs). That's why I feel like being a freelancer just wouldn't suit my personality."

"Right now, I'm actually in really high demand (laughs). If I were to sign with a promotion, I'd have to think about which one is the best place to entrust with 'Utami Hayashishita.' But since I have no idea whether it would turn out to be a blessing or a curse, my feeling right now is kind of like... 'Hmm, what should I do about joining a company?'"

"Up until now, I’ve been constantly saying, 'There’s no way I can go abroad.' I don’t speak English, and I don't have any family over there. But when I went on an overseas tour, I realized that even if you can’t speak the language, you can somehow make it work. Plus, I absolutely love wrestling overseas. If I get the chance, I’d love to go again—to the point where I’m actually envious of the Marigold wrestlers who get to perform at SUKEBAN."https://encount.press/archives/999855/

Utami Hayashishita’s Departure, Missing Star Players, and Empty Seats at Korakuen Hall: Mai Sakurai’s Sense of Crisis at Marigold’s "Critical Juncture"—"If I don't do it, this promotion is over."

A Concerning Excerpt from the Article

"Since filling seats at Korakuen was a real struggle, I did everything I could. During my time as Twin Star Champion, I managed to bring in nearly 50 of my own guests for a tag match, and for my homecoming as UN Champion, I hustled to get about 100 acquaintances in the building."

"Every time we run Korakuen, I buy tickets worth at least my entire fight purse out of my own pocket to invite my family and friends. Seeing them there really motivates me to put on a killer performance as a way of saying thank you. I believe there’s still so much more we can do to draw people in. We have to give the fans more than their money's worth, and I want all of us to work as one to make our shows even hotter." https://number.bunshun.jp/articles/-/870482
