Believe in the present? Shine in tomorrow? You decide who to believe in. Bow down to the queens!!"
Comments from Shimi and Kamiya
Kamiya: "We, Aphrodite, are challenging for the Goddess belts, and personally, I had some regrets when I defended the Goddess belt last time, so I want to make up for that. So, with this even more powerful Aphrodite, I want to take the Goddess belts from those two and set a new record for the most successful defenses of the Goddess belts."
Utami: "As Kamiya said, the two of us previously held the tag team belts, the Goddesses, and I think we've grown even more since then, becoming a different Aphrodite. When we challenge for the belts, we will definitely take them, and we believe we are the strongest tag team, so we want to shine even brighter. At today's Yamanashi event on May23rd, I think the brightness, glamour, and strength of Stardom reached everyone, the sky, and many other people. Stardom, Queen's Quest, and we Aphrodite want to shine even brighter. Bow down to the queens."
