Shirakawa's comment
"I won. Next up, in the final, I'll be facing Unagi. That was my goal, and probably Unagi's too, so I think the Future belt has a lot of significance for Kozuen to be in the final. Besides the two of us, there were a lot of energetic kids, but I still have a long way to go. I'm not satisfied with myself, and I really believe that this is just the beginning, so I want to win the belt that has "Future" in its name and prove that anyone can start anywhere."
—What was your impression of eels as opponents?
"Honestly, I don't feel like I'm going to lose. She certainly has luck on her side, and luck is a part of skill, but in terms of pro wrestling skill, I don't feel like I'm going to lose. It's just a matter of putting everything we've done up to this point into the match. Kozuen will have the best match, and then I'll win."

Natsupoi's comment
"Well, I successfully defended the High Speed title for the second time! Actually, Kicchan (Starlight Kid) told me the other day that she wanted to challenge me for this belt again, so I absolutely couldn't lose it because of that, but she put a grumpy aura (painted with "I'm in a bad mood ★") on my stomach, but I'll get rid of that and defend my title in my match against Kicchan as well."

Kid: "Today, STARS, with Koguma-san added to the mix, defeated Oedo Tai! Hey Tora Natsuko, I'm not going to let you guys have your way. The all-out war in Ota Ward on June12th, the rules haven't been decided yet, so what are you going to do?"
Natsuko: "Rules? I've been saying this all along. I'm Starlight Kid, and I don't care what it takes to take down either you or Mayu Iwatani. It's always the Oedo Tai who come up with these kinds of ideas. STARS, have you thought of anything? Which one of us was it that suggested an all-out war? I'm not changing the rules. Just like at Yokohama Budokan the other day, it's a 5-on-5 elimination match. The last one to lose joins the opposing unit. No objections, right?"
Kid: "That's fine."
Natsuko: "Oh, I see. As for the X from Oedo Tai, yesterday Iwatani Mayu told me that she wanted to beat up Kashima Saki, so as she wished, the X from Oedo Tai is Kashima Saki."
Kid: "You really do say whatever you want all the time. But basically, all that matters is winning,?! Right?! So, Mayu, let's announce the X for STARS."
Iwatani: "The X in STARS..."
Natsuko: "Tell me. Who is it?"
Iwatani: "Usually, X is announced on the day of the event..."
Natsuko: "Ah, there it is, there it is! I figured it out! They didn't actually prepare X, did they?"
Iwatani: "He's there. X is there."
Natsuko: "Who is it? Tell me."
Iwatani: "No way."
Natsuko: "What? You guys just said you were going to announce X. What's going on? This is annoying."
Iwatani: "No, I did say it, I did. I said Kid and X. I'll say it! X from STARS, Kadokura Rin-chan! What do you think?"
Natsuko: "Kadokura Rin? She's so boring. Hey, tell Nagayo and Iroha that we're going to beat your precious Kadokura Rin to a pulp. If necessary, the Oedo Tai can come over and do it for you."
Iwatani: "Well, I don't know anything about that. Let them do whatever they want. Anyway, please look forward to the Ota Ward tournament, STARS' X, Kadokura Rin."
STARS' comments
Iwatani: "Koguma will make his comeback in Tokyo."
Little bear: "Yes"
Iwatani: "We successfully got a three-pointer from Oedo Tai."
Kid: "This was the final preliminary battle, but with Koguma-san added to STARS, we defeated Oedo Tai, and now, including Rin Kadokura from X, we'll be heading into all-out war. Let's make sure STARS wins the all-out war as well."
Iwatani: "As the opponent said, I think either I or Kid will be targeted, so we really need to help each other out."
Kid: "This will truly be a test of our team's strength. Everyone, please come and see the results for yourselves."
-- Did you have a good feeling about working with Kadokura before?
Iwatani: "That's right. We've teamed up before and we really click, and she's been keeping an eye on Stardom. I think she's probably aware of the situation, so I think she'll be a really reliable ally."
—Who will you target first from the Oedo Tai?
Iwatani: "The most important thing is to turn Fukigen-san back into Gokigen-san. Personally, I also want to beat up Kashima Saki. And I think everyone wants to see Tora Natsuko's babyface. I think Tora Natsuko will have the biggest gap, or rather, the biggest impact when she comes back. A 5-on-5 elimination match has been decided, but with the same rules as before. The loser will..."
Kid: "Unit change. Rather than focusing on who STARS is, it's about getting Gokigen-san back and defeating Oedo Tai. STARS must win."

Momo takes the microphone, but Julia starts speaking first
Giulia: "Good evening to all of you at Korakuen who love Giulia so much... who absolutely adore Giulia! On June12thin Ota Ward, there's a red belt defense match and the Cinderella final, so it's great, there are a lot of exciting matches lined up. I'm looking forward to it. My match that day is a 3-way tag team match (Giulia & Natsupoivs.Watanabe Momo & AZMvs.Nakano Tam & Shirakawa Mina), but, well, it's not very interesting. I mean, there's this girl (Momo), Nakano Tam, and Giulia. Oh, and there's AZM-senpai too. Natsupoi is there, and Shirakawa. It's such a star-studded lineup, but there's nothing to talk about, it's boring! I have a suggestion. How about a tag team shuffle match? I've thought of something interesting, this 3-way tag team match, a match with no theme and no attention, I might team up with you."

So, let's go. Natsupoi, Himeka, Akari, Giulia, and Maika, the women who will make the world explode, Donna del Mondo, farewell!"
Comments from Julia's group
Maika: "As you can see from what I've seen today, I now have tremendous power and ability. I will be the Empress on June 12th ."
Shuri: "Today, after the preliminary matches, I felt I had said everything I wanted to say at the press conference. So there's nothing more to say here, but I will definitely wear the red belt, the pinnacle of Stardom. And this will be the beginning of Shuri's world. I want everyone to come and see it. That's all."
Giulia: "In Ota Ward, I believe Maika will win. Himeka is also there, but she's had an injury, so I think Maika will win. I also believe Shuri will take the red belt. And in this Ota Ward Gymnasium event, which has so many exciting matches, my match is a 3-way tag team match. It's a shame that such a great lineup is only in the first half of the event. So, what should I do? Maybe we should draw lots before the match on the day? The rest is up to the company's decision, so I'm looking forward to seeing the results."
—Are there any teams you'd like to be paired with or not in the draw, or any teams you'd like to be matched against?
Julia: "No, I want to do it with everyone, and no matter what happens to anyone, I'm tag team with Natsupoi, but we've never had a match together. I consider all the other members my enemies, and I think everyone else feels the same way. I can't even imagine what will happen when all of that gets mixed up."
