PLANS AFTER TOKYO
She expects to retire from the sport following the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, and has plans to open a nail salon. I'm actually quite interested in nail art, so I hope to learn about it and then open my own salon in the future. Since I have friends who are learning nail art, I will ask them for advice and watch nail art videos online. Archery may be one of my specialities, but I hope I can also find a second or even a third speciality. I hope I can learn more than just archery in my life, I hope I can broaden my horizons."
