She talks about how Hana Kimura ended up in wrestling.

We also chat about Hana's experience on the show "Terrace House."

The Ace of Marvelous and one of the best in-ring performers in the world, Takumi Iroha, is the guest this episode.

This was recorded right after our interview with Chigusa Nagayo and because Eric wouldn't stop talking to Chigusa, our time with Takumi was cut a bit short.

The length of the podcast doesn't take away from how much fun we had chatting with her.

Takumi and other Marvelous wrestlers will be in San Francisco on May 13 for West Coast Pro Wrestling's Queen of the Indies.

There are Joshi wrestling legends and then there is Chigusa Nagayo.

From humble beginnings, Chigusa worked to become not only a wrestling star, but a pop icon in Japan. People that never watched wrestling know Chigusa Nagayo.

That's why it blows our minds that we have Chigusa on the podcast this episode.

We discuss her entry into the wrestling business and go all the way to her current position as owner of the Marvelous promotion.

Chigusa and some of her Marvelous team will be in San Francisco on May 13 for West Coast Pro Wrestling's Queen of the Indies.

ROLLING SABOT （Theme of CRUSH GALS） - YouTube

We are joined by another super talented member of Actwres girl'Z. The Champion, The Ace Miku Aono.

What idol group did she want to join when she was young?

Miku was so awesome to have on the podcast. We talk about her background in acting and how she transitioned to wrestling.

We chat about the similarities in the acting and wrestling business.

Miku also shares about some of the up-and-coming talent on the Actwres team!

Please excuse my voice as I had a terrible cold during the recording.

Please have a listen, you will enjoy it.

Thank you, Derek Kolterman for interpreting for us! We all sincerely appreciate it!
