There are only two days left until RIZIN's 10th New Year's Eve event, "RIZIN DECADE" (Saitama Super Arena). The event will be divided into two parts: "Yogibo Presents RIZIN.49," which will feature title matches and other impressive cards as a culmination of the year's story, and "Raijin Bangaichi," a match between Asakura Mikuru's army and Hiramoto Ren's Black Rose army. These two tournaments, each with its own unique appeal, will kick off RIZIN's 10th year. Hiramoto Ren became the star of RIZIN after defeating Asakura Mikuru by knockout this summer. Unfortunately, he is unable to compete this time due to an injury, but he is helping to liven up the event as a producer leading the army. ORICON NEWS interviewed Hiramoto just before the event, as is customary, and asked him about the highlights of "Raijin Bangaichi" and "RIZIN.49." As he spoke at length beyond the scheduled time, we will deliver the interview in two parts. In the first part, he talks openly about his thoughts on the New Year's Eve tournament and his true feelings towards Ambo Rukiya, with whom he engaged in a fierce battle. The Black Rose set worn by Hiramoto Ren will be on sale soon. For more details, check Hiramoto's SNS. #HiramotoRen #RIZIN #RIZINDECADE #RaijinBangaichi #AmpoRukiya #AsakuraMikuru #SuzukiChihiro
