Iwatani's comment
"It was an easy win. If I had to pick a fault, it would be that I accidentally hit myself with a frog splash. I hit myself and it seemed like I might lose pace...but I don't think that happened. But she endured my tough attacks. She really held on. It felt like I was fighting my younger self. I think this will be a good experience for her, and I'm looking forward to seeing how she grows in a few years. But right now, she's not on my radar at all, and I never thought I would lose. But I guess it was a good thing."
—In what ways do you think he's similar to your younger self?
"I was constantly getting beaten. I ran out of stamina really quickly. It was very similar to that."
—At one point, when you cornered him against the ropes and slapped him, it looked like he was angry, didn't it?
"No, I'm not angry. I was just attacking them normally."

Comments from AZM & Hoshizuki
--Hoshizuki made her Stardom debut in September and expressed a desire to team up with AZM. She challenged for the High Speed Championship, and now their tag team has finally come to fruition. Does it feel like you've finally been able to team up?
Hoshizuki: "Yes, I was incredibly happy. I was so excited and thrilled ever since I was taught about the cards. I really wanted to tell you today."
--When you entered, Hoshizuki also brought a mask (from Queen's Quest)
AZM: "That's right. But it didn't quite work out today, so I had her wear one of my old masks, but we'll team up again next time, and then I'll have a mask made for Mei-chan and we can wear them together."
Hoshizuki: "Thank you. It was incredibly fun."
AZM: "Hahaha"
-- Hoshizuki, would you prefer teaming with AZM rather than fighting for a title?
Hoshizuki: "Yes!"
AZM: "Huh? Really? Really? That was unexpected (laughs)."
Hoshizuki: "Hahaha"
—Why is a tag team better?
Hoshizuki: "I've always decided this. The first time I came to see Stardom, back when I was still a trainee and not yet a professional wrestler, AZM was performing, and ever since I saw that, I've always wanted to team up with AZM."
AZM: "First time hearing about this."
—You didn't know?
AZM: "I didn't know. I'm really just finding out now."
Hoshizuki: "Thank you very much."
AZM: "Hi"
--What kind of organization is Stardom to Hoshizuki of Marvelous?
Hoshizuki: "Stardom has a lot of wrestlers who do amazing aerial maneuvers and a lot of flying moves, and of course I can do flying moves if I practice, but I still think my dropkick is my ultimate move, so I guess it's the moves that are amazing (laughs)."
AZM: "Well, not just Stardom, but Marvelous too, let's team up in various other promotions from now on."
Hoshizuki: "Yes, please."
AZM: "Please."

Giulia: "You have a little over two weeks until you're bald. I defended (the white belt) yesterday, so I'm going to have a title defense match. At the Nippon Budokan. I'm going to make this match the most insane match in Stardom history, no, in the history of women's pro wrestling. Come and see it."
Tam: "Julia, I'm already prepared. So I have nothing to say right now. The only thing that's ahead of me in this match is the haircut. I'm confident that this will be a crazier match than any other. I won't lose to any other card, and I definitely won't lose to you, Julia."
Julia: "That's exactly what I want."
Comment from Kamitani
"Today, I got the pinfall victory over Utami Hayashishita with my own hands. There may be some dissatisfaction from the fans, other wrestlers, and various other people as I challenge for the red belt. But I won't let that bother me. I will stand at the top of Stardom with my own strength and get the pinfall victory over Utami on March 3rd at the Nippon Budokan."
—What move did you use to finish the match today?
"It was a swan dive followed by a jumping Frankensteiner roll-up, a move only I can do, a move that targets an opening in the opponent's defense, and I think Utami was probably overconfident. That's when I took advantage of the situation and got the pin."
—This is the first time you've heard Shimi say she's looking forward to it, right?
"Well, I'm honestly happy that she's turned to me, but my goal isn't to get Umi's recognition, but to surpass Umi and win the red belt, so it doesn't really matter to me."
—Were you aiming for a three-count victory over Shimi today?
"Of course. There was a challenger and a champion for the white belt in the 4-way match, but I was only aiming for Utami, so I went for it from the start."

Natsuko: "We're in for that! I've been thinking this for a while, Himeka. Your reason for coming to Stardom is half-hearted. The physical training you're doing at DDM? You're the only one who's half-hearted. Right?! In the tag team match the other day, you threw your partner away as soon as you lost once . In contrast to that ... even when I lost by disqualification, she stuck with me without making a fuss. And I don't feel ashamed when Saki loses. What about you, Himeka? You felt ashamed, didn't you? Your feelings towards tag teams are half-hearted too! Let's put to the test at the Nippon Budokan to see whose tag team bond is stronger! I almost forgot, sorry. Bee-chan, you had something to say, didn't you? I don't want to say this at a time like this either, but! Bee-chan, do your usual thing!"
Bee: "It's really salty! Haha. But Watanabe Momo is the saltiest of them all!"
Himeka: "Shut up, shut up, shut up! Hey, Oedo Tai, you've come again without learning your lesson. Hey, you're the last people I want to hear about my body transformation. March 3rd, Nippon Budokan. I'll accept your challenge. Natsupoi, Shuri, Giulia. Maika. And Himeka. We are Donna del Mondo, the women who will explode onto the world stage. Big is strong, big is justice. And big is cute. See you later!"
Comments from Maika and Himeka
Maika: "Maihime was able to win the Goddess belt, which she had always wanted. I wondered what would happen, but I think she was able to believe in Himeka and fight to the very end."
Himeka: "I'm really, really, really, really happy! Happy! I know better than anyone how to defeat big guys. I'm so happy to have come to Stardom and won the belt..."
Maika: "This is just the beginning, so DDM will take all the belts this year, and we will definitely make this dream come true as DDM."
Himeka: "And then there's the 3.3, Pig Bean Sprouts. There's no way we're going to lose to Pig Bean Sprouts. Body transformation? We'll get it done by 3.3. Don't underestimate DDM."
—That was an unexpected pinfall at the end. Was that planned, or did it just happen spontaneously?
Himeka: "My biggest weakness is being easily manipulated, so I've always thought that if I were ever in real danger, I would use it. Well, maybe it's not the right way to put it to be, but it was a spur-of-the-moment decision that turned out to be correct."
