--> "CIRCUIT 2008 NEW JAPAN ISM" <--
Low Ki's debut as a RISE member today ended in misery as he suffered a knee injury. He has been ruled off tomorrow's show, but New Japan hasn't said if he will miss anymore dates. After tomorrow's show in Ota, there will be a break until the 8th, so they may wait and see how his knee holds up in that time.
