Arisu Endo has been receiving training advice from former Tokyo Joshi Pro wrestler Reika Saiki. The two of them are closely linked through the Cheer♡1 idol unit. Endo is currently positioned in the same role and unit colour (yellow) that Saiki had back when she was part of the group. Saiki’s advice to Endo is to be energetic because that is how pro wrestlers become strong. She explained to her how to train muscles particularly in the legs and waist. When Endo asked about eating habits, Saiki encouraged her to take lots of protein. Endo came out of the training session wanting to be an energetic wrestler just like Saiki!
