Shibata:
'I finally got the feel! Finally!! But, it's not enough! How many matches until Ryogoku on April 9th? Nine more matches? Nine more? I’m gonna enjoy each one of them! Is there anything you wanna ask me?'

--- You said, you’re looking forward to it? But what is your impression for Okada?

Shibata:
'He is a new breed! I feel like, I’m about to explode! Anything else?'

--- Are you going to gradually get the right feel as the match progresses toward the big event? 

Shibata:
'Gradually... Every day, one step forward to the match against Okada, so! Okada, did you say something?'

--- He said, “I have no intention of running away! Maybe, you’re the one who’ll run away!”…

Shibata:
'Ohh, alright! That’s how he wanna play, huh?! You’ve finally open that shitty mouth of yours! That will be something to look forward to! Everything is brand new! Everything is fresh! I’ll be looking forward to tomorrow and the next! That’s all!'
