DREAM had a a press conference in Tokyo on April 30.   All winners of the 1ST round showed up except Tamura and Sakuraba.
Sasahara:
In spite of the very beginning of the tournament, all fighters fought very aggressively and had great fights.   I am sure that this event will standout if we keep up our good job.   Tamura injured his right hand and went to see a doctor today.   As for Sakuraba, I suppose he is not here because he is hungover and sleeping now.  He won yesterday and had a party after the fight.  He must be KO'd by alcohol.   I hope he attends the conference when we announce fight cards of the 2ND round.
Jacare:
- What do you think about Sakuraba?
Sakuraba can do anything he wants.   He chose to sleep today because he drank too much last night.   I don't drink and I believe this is a part of my job to attend this conference.
- Any thought about your fight?
I had a great experience fighting in DREAM yesterday.  I felt like fans supported me.  I don't know my next opponent yet.  I will train hard and be ready for a fight with heart in my style next time.  I believe I'm the one who wins at the end.
Kin:
- What do you think about Sakuraba?
After the fight, I had fun having dinner with my teammates.   I couldn't sleep well till morning and am kinda tired.   Sakuraba can do whatever he wants to do.   I like the way he is.
- Any thought about your fight?
I found a couple of things to improve myself from the fight yesterday.  I will do my best next time by fighting aggressively.  I will talk to Tanikawa about my participation in K-1 Japan GP and would like to fight in that event if I can.  I put all I have in both events.  I see many passive young fighters in K-1 Japan and they are just waiting chances.  I would like to show them that  they have to be aggressive to get chances.
Musashi:
- What do you think about Sakuraba?
I had a party with my teammates and drank a bit.   My teammate woke me up this morning and I could come to this conference.
- Any thought about your fight?
I was glad to defeat Denis last night.  I will go back training after taking a week break.  I will train hard to win in the 2ND round.
Yoon:
- What do you think about Sakuraba?
Sakuraba is a great guy.   He trains even if he is hungover.   I cannot concentrate if I drink during my training and fighting though.   I had Korean dinner and went to bed after the fight.
- Any thought about your fight?
I'm happy I could win last night.  I could sleep well because the way I won was ideal.  I can start training tomorrow if I want to because I didn't have any major damages.  I stay in the good condition and show an exciting fight in the 2ND round.
Galesik:
- What do you think about Sakuraba?
Sakuraba must be good at partying.   I hope he tells me how to party and enjoy a lot next time.
- Any thought about your fight?
I like the way I won yesterday.  I'm happy to be here with other winners.  I'm happy to win by submission quickly.  I'm actually surprised.  I will go back to my training and develop my ground techniques.  I want to prepare for the 2ND round.
