Very emotional. I'm so happy that he's making progress.

Not afraid to admit it brought a tear to my eye. Awesome to see him being able to walk.

Yeah I couldn't help but cry and I'm not even that big of a Hayabusa fan.

That's incredible to see. Hopefully one day he can do it without the cane.

That is very incredible to see and I hope he can do it with out a cane one day. I believe he will in time. I wish I knew what was being said but it's great to see him come a very long way.

Is there someone that can give an idea as to what was said or know where I find it?

Is there someone that can give an idea as to what was said or know where I find it? On Hayabusa's end, according to someone on Reddit, it translates to:

With so many wrestler deaths and the Hogan crap lately, seeing something like this is nice for a change.

That's the absolute most emotion I've ever seen a Japanese crowd.
I could only make it 1:30 in when I got misty. What a powerful, powerful clip.

Amazing. As a kid who didn't really have access to Japanese wrestling, Hayabusa was a guy I'd read about in the Apter mags, and he fascinated me, sight unseen. So I was devastated when I heard he'd been paralyzed. f***ing amazing to watch him walk under his own power, and I know he'll manage it one day without the cane. Genuinely brought a tear to my eye.

this is awesome to see. Hayabusa was my first favorite Japanese wrestler when i first got into it then #2 was Megumi Kudo (which i consider them the male and female counterparts to each other)
and i agree with those who say hopefully he'll do it one day without the cane

This is so inspiring. I haven't seen much footage of Hayabusa in the ring, but I do know of his contributions to the sport and the tragic way that his career was cut short.

It says a lot about how well-regarded Hayabusa was that guys like Kobashi, Mutoh, and Tenryu turned up for this.

Wow. I remember the first time I saw the clip of his injury I thought he would never walk again. So happy to see that he has made the progress that he has. I wish him all the best in continuing his improvement and hope to see him walk to the ring without the use of a cane. Truly inspirational.

This is great. I've been looking forward to this for years. With or without a cane, I'm just so happy to see him up and around.

This makes me way too damn happy. Especially since his career ended while he was in his prime.

Hard Work plus determination equal overcoming those Hard Time blues(daddy).
Good for Hayabusa.

Very inspirational. If this guy can overcome so much, we all should be able to handle our everyday shit.

Hayabusa was my first favorite Japanese wrestler when i first got into it then #2 was Megumi Kudo (which i consider them the male and female counterparts to each other) and i agree with those who say hopefully he'll do it one day without the cane I sense the presence of Tokyopop FMV DVDs. Those DVDs were my first exposure to Japanese wrestling outside of some GIFs of signature moves of guys like Misawa, Kawada, Kobashi, etc. Seeing this video is great, as I was a big Hayabusa mark. Heatwave 98 might be my favorite PPV of all time, which featuers RVD/Sabu vs Hayabusa/Jinsei Shinzaki. My YAK MAN mask for backyard wrestling was a green Hayabusa mask with horns.
