I'm always grateful for NJPW fans' support, and it's my hope that I can get back to hearing the cheers of sold-out crowds as soon as possible.

It's usually me receiving the support and power of the people, but now I feel it's my turn to lend support to medical staff fighting this disease.

I hope fans continue to stay home and stay healthy, so that we can return to the ring as soon as possible.
