The twin sisters, Hina and Rina, who made their official debut the previous day at Shin-Kiba, will face each other again in a singles match. The previous day, the younger sister, Hina, secured a three-count victory with the Gedo Clutch, but her older sister, Rina, cannot afford to suffer another defeat. What will be the result of this battle between the sixth-grade sisters...?
They both entered the ring in judo uniforms. They shook hands and said, "Please take care of us!" as the bell rang. Rinami immediately delivered three consecutive dropkicks.

Starlight Kid and Hanan's STARS will face Natsu Sumire and "Session Moth" of the Oedo Tai. How will the underage Kid team fare against the drunken duo? Natsu's team, who are entered in the tag league, are on a roll after winning their first match, so they should be watched carefully. Kid and Hanan will be partnering with different people on this day than in the tag league, but beating Natsu's team would give them a huge boost in confidence
Oedo Tai was led by manager Yamaguchi Nao. Kid and Hanan were welcomed by Kashima Saki, Shibusawa Shiki, and Nakano Tam. As both teams approached each other, they cautiously but surprisingly shook hands. The match started with Kid and Martina. Kid tried to throw Martina into the ropes, but Martina refused. Kid stomped on her foot and threw her into the ropes, but she was sent flying by a shoulder tackle. Martina tried to show off her strength and dashed forward, but Kid stuck out her leg and tripped her. However, Natsu and Martina delivered Bronco Busters to both corners. Martina joined Natsu, and the combined weight of both of them fell on Hanan. Martina delivered a series of elbows to Hanan and then spun around with a side slam. However, it was more of a slam than a slam
The match ended with a stunned defeat. Seeing this, Hanan used her judo skills to slam Martina down, and Kid followed up with a hurricanrana and a running dropkick. Kid tried to throw Martina into the ropes, but Martina resisted. However, Kid delivered a spinning DDT. Martina countered, and Kid delivered a Codebreaker from the ropes on her back. Natsu hit Kid with a big boot. She went for a body slam, but Kid countered with a neck screw. Hanan delivered a series of dropkicks to Natsu and then threw her over her shoulder. Natsu resisted Hanan's attempt at an STO, resulting in a test of strength. Natsu got behind Hanan and called in Martina. However, Kid intervened, and the beer spray attempt failed. Hanan hit Natsu with a double wrist lock. Five minutes had passed. Hanan tried to dropkick Natsu, but was hit with a whip. Natsu went for a big boot, but Hanan dodged it and rolled her up. However, Yamaguchi interfered. Natsu attempted a reverse DDT, but Hanan countered. When Natsu went for a brainbuster hold, Hanan couldn't kick out. Natsu managed to get the three count

This is an official match between the Oedo Tai team of Kagetsu and Hazuki and the Queen's Quest foreign team of Bea Priestley and Chardonnay. In the opening match the previous day, Kagetsu's team started with a win, while Priestley's team drew with the current Goddess Champions, Kyoko and Natsuko. Both teams are considered strong contenders for the championship, so whoever scores two points will likely take the lead in the league
Kagetsu declared to referee Murayama, "I will absolutely not use (a weapon)." Hazuki appeared in Kagetsu's makeup. The match began with Chardaney and Kagetsu as the starters. Chardaney went for the neck, but Kagetsu countered with a headlock. Chardaney grabbed her arm and lifted her up, then took her back to the ground. Kagetsu got up with a headspring and grabbed her arm. Kagetsu threw Chardaney into the corner with a soccer ball kick, but Chardaney dodged and did an arm whip. Hazuki sprayed water on Chardaney from the apron, and the fight spilled outside the ring. Back in the ring, Chardaney landed a series of blows on Kagetsu. Priestley and Chardaney joined forces, hitting Kagetsu with elbows, arm hips, and dropkicks. Kagetsu countered, and Priestley applied a sleeper hold followed by a neck lock. She grabbed his arm and slammed an elbow into his chest. Priestley threw Kagetsu into the corner, but was hit with a missile kick. Chardaney interfered and teamed up with Priestley, but Kagetsu sent them both flying with a missile kick.

Chardaney then hits a double arm suplex. 10 minutes have passed. Chardaney lifts Hazuki onto her shoulders and takes her to the corner. However, Kagetsu hits her with a board. Chardaney's legs are pulled out of the ring and she is rolled up by Hazuki for the three count. Hazuki gives Oedo Tai their second victory
Comments from Kagetsu & Hazuki
Hazuki: "Two wins in two tag league matches. Isn't that to be expected? Red Goddesses only has weak teams. The tag teams here have great tag work and are in perfect physical condition, so there's no way we'll lose. Winning is a given. We'll just keep going like this and go all the way to the championship."
Kagetsu: "That's all... Well, your touch is a little too fast. Hazuki, your touch is a little too fast."
Hazuki: "Is it too early?"
Kagetsu: "I'm still suffering a lot of damage."
Hazuki: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. It's okay."
Kagetsu: "Yes, I understand. If Hazuki says so, it's fine."
—Is there a reason you coordinated your makeup?
Kagetsu: "Yes, there is. But I don't want to say. Hahahaha. There is something. It's a secret, a secret. Um, if you want to know, Oedo Tai will move depending on this (money). Well, I think we're the only ones who are this fired up for the tag league. The other tag teams aren't doing anything, are they? It's like they're not even motivated, they're just making up tag teams. Well, if I had to name someone, it would be the two who hold the Goddess title, um, the noisy old lady and the chubby one. It seems they recently won the belt in Nagoya."
Hazuki: "I got it, but my body's no good. It's all squishy."
Kagetsu "Chubby and plump"
Hazuki: "They're both short and stout."
Kagetsu: "I don't know if I'll be able to compete against them, but if I win, there's a chance I'll be able to... It's the same size, this atmosphere."
Hazuki: "Because they start talking on their own."
Kagetsu: "Oh, I'm sorry."
Hazuki: "I wish he wouldn't talk."
Kagetsu: "Okay, I understand. So, (in a low voice) I'm going to aim for the championship..."
Kagetsu & Hazuki: (In a low voice) Oh~

The white belt champion is pinned
Kashima: "Alright, that gives the Mayusaki tag team 4 points. You guys get 2 points. Hey Watanabe Momo, this was a preliminary match today, and you lost. I also saw on Twitter what you mean by pink bean sprout. You (Iwatani) too. Don't diss us behind our backs. But anyway, we won today. You guys lost. So Iwatani, a word from you."
Iwatani: "Hello everyone in Shin-Kiba! Momo-chan, Momo-chan, Momo-chan. Momo-chan. How do you feel about losing to a pink bean sprout? First of all, there's no such thing as a pink bean sprout. If there was, it would have been brought to the sciences, researched, and that would have been the end of it. A pink bean sprout? At the very least, you could have called it a skin-colored bean sprout or just a regular bean sprout, but you went to the trouble of adding "pink," and now it's become a rather cute bean sprout. It matches the Stardom logo, so I guess pink is fine. So what, Mayu, a sky-blue bean sprout? That's a pretty good catchphrase. It's the icon of Stardom, no, no. A sky-blue bean sprout... The reaction isn't very good, so let's stop there. I mean, a pink bean sprout..."
Momo: "Shut up, shut up, shut up. Aren't you talking too much? You're so annoying."
Iwatani: "But, but..."
Momo: "Shut up, shut up."
Iwatani: "Mayu, you were fine in the match, and you have plenty of stamina, so I think it's okay if you talk a little, don't you? You're full of energy, really. Tag matches are fun, but you still want to see a singles match, right? You want to see Mayu wear the belt, right? Wait a minute, can I get carried away? You're speaking really well today, without stumbling over your words. Praise me more! Thank you, thank you, thank you. So, Momo-chan, the white belt, is it on the 24th? Sorry. I know that's the kind of thing you do. It's the 23rd, isn't it? If you have time to talk big on Twitter, say it now! Complaining on social media like that doesn't get you anywhere. Plus, you're stupid, all you can think of is the phrase "pink bean sprouts." Hahaha. You can say something now, right? Tell me~"
Momo: "You talk too much. You two are both just bean sprouts. It doesn't matter if you're bean sprouts or Pocky. You're both skinny, you're just skin and bones. Don't think you can win like that!"
Iwatani: "That's just jealousy, isn't it?"
Momo: "That's wrong."
Iwatani: "No, no, let me explain the entire Iwatani family lineage."
Momo: "Shut up, shut up, stop. You're so noisy. You're all so skinny."
Iwatani: "Wait, wait, she's thin, so what? Even if she's thin..."
Momo: "I'm telling you, I'm going to break you. I'm telling you, I'm going to break that skinny body of yours! In a title match."
Iwatani: "You know, after doing this for eight years, the only thing that broke was my nose. This flat nose of mine just miraculously broke. Bones don't break that easily, and neither does your spirit."
peach"……"
Iwatani: "You can't really say anything back, can you? Hahaha. After all, you're just a wimp, I'm jealous, it's just pure envy. Anyway, today the MayuSaki tag team won! The Artist belt was decided in Osaka, and the white belt was decided at Korakuen, so STARS is on fire, isn't it? It's great, it's sparkling, it's fun. Is it too long? Yeah, it is long. I can't seem to organize my thoughts, so it just ends up being long. I think everyone's getting bored now, so let's wrap it up."
Momo: "Wait a minute, before you finish..."
Iwatani: "You're the one who's been talking for so long!"
Momo: "On the 23rd, I'm going to completely break your body and soul, so remember that."
Iwatani: "Oh, it's scary, so scary. Where did that Momo-chan who kept saying 'Mayu-san, Mayu-san' go? I wonder where she went. Bye-bye. See you again on the 23rd at Korakuen Hall, thank you very much."
Kashima: "Before we wrap things up, Mayu Iwatani, you're dragging out your talk too much."
Iwatani: "That way? I was a little surprised."
Kashima: "You're dragging this out too long. It makes me feel like I'm being dissed."
Iwatani: "The shop hours might be shorter today. I'm sorry about that."
Kashima: "Believe in the present, shine tomorrow, We are STARDOM!"
Comments from Iwatani and Kashima
Iwatani: "Mayusaki, 4 points! That's incredible, isn't her comeback amazing? Just as her name suggests."
Kashima: "Isn't that a good name?"
Iwatani: "And the way he entered..."
Kashima: "If we don't think ahead to what our opponents are thinking, we won't be able to win."
Iwatani: "Watanabe Momo, well, she's... my speech is getting slurred, I was so talkative just a moment ago. You see, Watanabe Momo has come back from a great defeat, losing twice to Kashima Saki. In the 5☆STAR GP and..."
Kashima: "The 5☆STAR GP and today. No, this is the third time."
Iwatani: "I've managed to win three times by making a miraculous comeback."
Kashima: "I don't study."
Iwatani: "I don't study."
Kashima: "Is this where I come across as a bit of an airhead?"
Iwatani: "Because all they ever say is 'pink bean sprouts'."
Kashima: "We've developed pink bean sprouts, you know."
Iwatani: "So, what, Watanabe Momo is the champion with the white belt. She said she only had eyes for Iwatani Mayu and that she had no use for a pink bean sprout, but look at her now."
Kashima: "Losing to someone you dissed so much is the lamest scenario."
Iwatani: "On the contrary, didn't that tweet cause a firestorm?"
Kashima: "Ah, hmm..."
Iwatani: "Isn't that true?"
Kashima: "We were basically dissing each other together."
Iwatani: "I thought bean sprouts would be good."
Kashima: "Well, it's a good start. We won the preliminary match, and we won the opening match, so we're at 4 points now. Let's keep this momentum going and win the championship. Mayu-chan will get the white belt too."
Iwatani: "The white belt. Gradually, the belt has returned to STARS. After all, this belt is a star, so it sparkles, and I think everyone is saying that they want to come to STARS."
"Iwatani, are you thinking about the Kagetsu vs. Hana Kimura Red Belt match at Korakuen Hall? Or are you focused on your match against Momo?"
Iwatani: "First of all, I want to say that I won the 5☆STAR GP. As a winner, I have the right to challenge for the red belt, right? But Momo nominated me instead, so if I try to challenge both sides, it would be a problem, which is why there isn't a red belt match scheduled right now. I think everyone might have forgotten about 5☆STAR The GP winner. Honestly, it doesn't matter whether it's Hana Kimura or Kagetsu, they're the champion. For now, I want to put myself forward as the next challenger for the red belt, so it's just that the order has been swapped. If I take the white belt first, and then challenge for and take the red belt next, I think I'll become a double champion with both red and white belts. Well, it doesn't really matter who the champion is, but I would like to see Hana Kimura and Kagetsu wrestle. The other day, or was it yesterday, they were fighting after their match yesterday and it was quite a mess, and I wonder who wants to see that. I just hope it doesn't turn into a big problem. I can really sense a dangerous atmosphere from the two of them. I don't know yet which one will be the main event, but whether it's first or last, I would like to see those two's match through to the end."
Comments from Momo & Shimi
Momo: "It was the third time I used that move on Kashima Saki, but for some reason the way I went into it was different than usual and I lost. But more than that, Iwatani Mayu. It was a preliminary match, but I couldn't beat her. That's something I'm a little disappointed about. She said a lot of things on the mic after the match, so I'm really annoyed. Next time at Korakuen Hall, I want to break her spirit and body."
Utami: "Today, Momo and I had a great start to the tag league, both yesterday and today, and we were aiming for an undefeated championship, but Momo got pinned and we lost one match today. But there's no point dwelling on what's done, so we want to win all of our remaining matches and advance to the finals."
