As a scene that divided the game, while chasing 3 points, I made a mistake in the last shot and gave the 6th end which was only 1 goal.

"I think I could have had a fight that I couldn't understand if I got 2 points in the second half, but that miss shot made me feel uncomfortable. That led to the next end where I was robbed of 4 points."

Factors for advancing to the final-

On the other hand, regarding the factors that made it to the final stage despite suffering, "The sense of stability of the shot has increased significantly. In particular, skip Fujisawa has to throw a shot that puts pressure on him, but the accuracy has improved significantly. That's why I came up to this final. "
