*The 6th champion, Unagi Sayaka, successfully defended her title for the first time
Former Actwres girl'Z member Mai Sakurai, who has declared her intention to join Stardom, will have her first match. She will immediately challenge Sayaka Unagi for the Future of Stardom Championship. Unagi defeated her fellow COSMIC ANGELS member Mina Shirakawa to capture the coveted belt, and now she will face her first title defense. Her opponent in this first defense is Sakurai, who is a complete unknown. This will also be a test for Unagi as champion. How much of the growth she gained in the seven-match series and the Cinderella Tournament semifinals will she be able to show against Sakurai? Furthermore, if Sakurai takes the belt in one go, it will undoubtedly have a major impact on the Stardom Future Championship scene. What will Sakurai show us as her introduction?
Sakurai asks for a handshake and says "Please," and Unagi accepts. As the gong sounds, Sakurai dashes forward and delivers a series of elbows. Unagi turns around and retaliates, so Sakurai throws him into the ropes and delivers a big boot, then throws him into the corner and charges, but Unagi dodges. Unagi delivers a running elbow attack. Sakurai counters, and Unagi applies a camel clutch and a guillotine drop to the back. Sakurai counters again, and Unagi drives him into the corner and slams his body into his back. He takes him to the center and goes for the cover, but Sakurai kicks out. Unagi applies a reverse Boston crab, but Sakurai escapes to the ropes. Unagi delivers a series of stomps, and Sakurai counters with a series of elbows. However, Unagi delivers a series of stomps.

Unagi grabbed the ropes to avoid the three count. Sakurai charged forward, but Unagi slammed him to the mat, threw him into the ropes, and delivered a face crusher. Sakurai went in with an elbow, but Unagi retaliated. They exchanged elbows and Sakurai was knocked down. Unagi taunted, "Come on!" Sakurai landed a series of elbows, but Unagi knocked him down with one. Unagi took him down with a double hammer and then dropped a guillotine choke. Sakurai dodged and pinned him, but it was only a two count. Sakurai tried a series of roll-ups, but Unagi kicked out. Sakurai charged forward, but Unagi caught him and slammed him down.

When Unagi went for the Daifuhen Hold, Sakurai gave up. Unagi successfully defended his title
Unagi: "I successfully defended my Future of Stardom title for the first time! Um, who was it again? Could you tell me your name?"
Sakurai: "I'm Sakurai Mai!"
Unagi: "So, Sakurai Mai, how was your first time in Stardom? There are so many strong, even stronger people out there ahead, so when you think about it, Stardom is the best, isn't it? Right now, you're probably hearing all sorts of things from outside, and there are times when you feel frustrated and sad because you can't do what you want, but no matter what, you have to have absolute faith in yourself and create your own place."
Sakurai: "Thank you so much, Unagi-san, for today. Today's match has made me feel even more determined to compete in Stardom. Please let me join Cosmic Angels! (The crowd erupts) Please let me join this glamorous world of professional wrestling!"
Unagi: "No way! Cosmic Angels has climbed this far with just three members, so I'm sorry, but DDM and STARS don't have many members, so I think it would be a good fit for you to join one of those groups. Right?"
Nakano and Shirakawa enter the ring
Nakano: "Sakurai Mai, got it. I always want to make Cosmic Angels the best unit in Stardom. From now on, no matter how incredibly tough and painful things get, are you prepared not to give up?"
Sakurai: "(There's a long pause)!"
Nakano: "Hmm?"
Sakurai: "Yes, there is."
Nakano: "Hmm?"
Sakurai: "Yes, there is!"
Nakano: "If that feeling is real, let's dream together!"
Shirakawa: "Welcome!"
Nakano: "Here we go! Delicious for us, and for you too, yummy!"
Comments about eels
"We successfully defended the Future of Stardom title for the first time. As someone who came from outside, I think they're going through a lot of hardship right now, but it's the path they chose, so I want them to believe in themselves and create their own path, something only they can do. However, I have no intention of joining Cozuen. Not even now. So, the three of us will continue to protect the artists, protect Future, and take Cozuen even higher."
—After the fight, did you feel like you were seeing a glimpse of your past self?
"Well... what do you think? (Sakurai) seems to have a small heart. I came up here determined that my heart would never be beaten by anyone. If she gets nervous over just a microphone like that, I don't think she'll ever reach the top in Stardom. She said she wants to get stronger, but there are a lot of really strong people out there, so I think she'll have to fight and experience it for herself, lose more and more, feel the frustration, and then move up."
Sakurai's comment
"I was beaten much worse than I expected from the start. I really realized how inexperienced I still am. So from now on, I want to get stronger, so I will work hard and aim higher and higher."
—So you've joined Kozén?
"This is a unit I really wanted to be a part of, so I asked to join and I'm really happy that I was able to join."
—What did you gain from your first appearance?
"I was given the incredible opportunity to participate in a title match right from the start. I think a lot of people have been paying attention to me, so I want to live up to those expectations and repay the support I've received by becoming even stronger."
—What kind of wrestler do you aspire to be at Cozuen?
"I think Kozuen looks glamorous, cute, and feminine, but I want to become a fighter who, in contrast to that, shows her fighting spirit openly during battles."

I'm in a bad mood. ★ [0 points] |
Starlight Kid and Fukigen★ face off against each other, both from the same stable in the Oedo Tai. What's more, both were forced to transfer from STARS. However, Kid has made up his mind to continue as part of Oedo Tai and has moved to a new place. It's hard to tell what Fukigen's mood is, but it's safe to say that he has no intention of returning to STARS. The match is a battle between two Oedo Tai members, and at the same time, a competition for individual points. It looks like we'll see a fair and square battle in true Oedo Tai style
Perhaps because Konami has an official match coming up, Fukigen enters the ring alone. Kashima and Rina are in Fukigen's corner, while Ruanka is in Kid's corner. Both men slowly advance and feign a hand-to-hand grapple, with Fukigen attacking, but Kid quickly stomps on his foot and goes on the offensive. Fukigen quickly retaliates and goes for the cover. When Kid kicks out, Fukigen delivers an arm whip and a dropkick. Kid kicks him in the face, drives him to the ropes, and mounts him. He goes for a body slam and a cover, but Fukigen kicks out. Kid throws Fukigen into the corner and charges in for a running kick. Fukigen dodges and charges, but Kid sticks his leg out each time. Kid goes for a dropkick, but Fukigen dodges and delivers a senton. Kid dodges again, and Fukigen delivers a hell thrust and a senton. Kid kicks out, and Fukigen claims the three count. Fukigen threatens a brainbuster but is rolled up instead. Kid delivers a 619, a standing moonsault press, and a diving body attack. Fukigen counters and rolls up. Kid counters and rolls up repeatedly. Fukigen also rolls up but only gets a two count. Kid escapes a rolling prawn hold and hits a double knee to the back, followed by a fisherman suplex. Fukigen kicks out, and Kid hits a swing neckbreaker and a moonsault press. The three count is called and Kid wins
Kid's comment
"I'm in a bad mood★, I couldn't read her movements at all, and she rolled me up unexpectedly. It was really dangerous. She was amazing. But, but, but, I did manage to get a good neckbreaker at the end, I got 2 points. I got 2 points, but, I guess I didn't need to deliver divine punishment today? I'm not satisfied at all because I didn't deliver it. Tomorrow's official match against Shirakawa Mina is for the Artist Champion? I'll definitely deliver divine punishment at the end. I absolutely cannot lose here before the High Speed (championship match)."

Small wave [2 points] |
Saya Kamitani faced the singles champion in three consecutive matches. She was immediately put on the brink of elimination after losing her first two matches to Shuri and Utami Hayashishita, but she secured her first victory on August 8th in Osaka by defeating Tam Nakano, the champion of the white belt. If she can win from here, she can join the race for the championship, but standing in her way today is the formidable Konami. She has a 1-1 record against Konami so far, and2019, she will be looking to step up her game from here. For both Kamitani and Konami, this is a survival battle for their place in the tournament.
The match started with Konami dodging Kamiya's dropkick. After dodging each other, the two glared at one another. Konami lured Kamiya into a four-point stance. Konami grabbed Kamiya's arm and they grappled for a neck hold. Konami unleashed a series of soccer ball kicks. Kamiya cut off the second one and countered with a dropkick. However, Kashima, who was in Konami's corner, pulled her leg from the outside, causing Konami to drop to the floor, where the Oedo Tai attacked. Konami slammed Kamiya into the fence four times in a row. Konami continued to inflict pain on Kamiya outside the ring. Konami returned to the ring and taunted her. She stomped on Kamiya as she returned and grabbed her neck. She pinned her, but Kamiya kicked out. Konami kicked at her, taunting her with "Come on," and Kamiya responded with a series of elbows. Each time, Konami stood firm. As Konami charged, Kamiya unleashed a series of double kicks, a corner knee attack, a dropkick, a reverse figure-four leglock, and a dropkick to the back. Konami countered, dodging a spear attack and sending Kamiya onto the apron for a sleeper hold, a hanging figure-four neck lock, a series of spear knee attacks, a spear dropkick, and a brainbuster. When Kamiya countered, Konami applied a face lock. Kamiya went for an elbow, but Konami fought back. Kamiya dodged a knee attack and a lariat and delivered a knee kick. Kamiya then performed a swan dive plancha on Konami, who had fallen to the ring floor. Bringing her back into the ring, she delivered a missile kick.

Kamiya escaped, but Konami delivered a neckbreaker and slammed her backwards. Kamiya countered, and Konami went for a triangle. Kamiya countered, but Konami landed a middle kick. Kamiya jumped in with a Frankensteiner and the referee counted to three.
Comment from Kamitani
—But I gave it a five-star rating
"Yes, this is my third year as a professional wrestler, and I've gotten off to a great start with a victory in my first match. The joint lock was quite tough, but I want to keep this momentum going and win the 5★STAR tournament. Watch me!"
—Did beating Nakano in the third match give you momentum?
"Yes, I think there were some areas where I faltered a bit in the first and second matches, but I think that defeating Tam Nakano gave me momentum, fueled by the frustration of losing the white belt last time."
—What was it like fighting against three of the four giants that Kamiya called "Shuri, Utami, and Nakano"?
"As expected, she was strong, as you'd expect from someone who holds a singles belt. I felt she was no ordinary opponent. But now that I've defeated one of the four giants(Nakano), the only one left is Iroha Takumi. I think that after everything that happened at the press conference, she'll turn this crisis into an opportunity and win to get her revenge. That would be the best outcome."
--I can't afford to lose until the match against Iroha
"That's right. From here on out, I'm completely unstoppable."

Tam Nakano [6 points] |
7 minutes 37 seconds: |
Maika [6 points] |
Wonder of Stardom Champion Tam Nakano has a somewhat disappointing record in the 5★STAR GP so far, with two wins and two losses. A third loss here would make it difficult for her to compete for the championship. On the other hand, Maika has had a decent record so far, with three wins and one loss, starting with her victory over World of Stardom Champion Utami Hayashishita in the opening match. Although the number of matches played is inconsistent, she is currently at the top of the Blue Stars in terms of points. If she can defeat the white belt champion here, it would be a remarkable achievement to defeat the red and white belt champion, and she would take a step ahead in the championship race. Will Nakano be able to secure a win and keep her hopes of winning alive, or will Maika gain momentum in her winning streak? This is a crucial match in the first half of the league tournament
Maika dodges Nakano's kicks one after another. Nakano dodges a lariat and throws a PK. Maika catches it and puts it in an armlock. When Nakano escapes, Maika stomps on her, grabs her right arm and slams her into the corner, then tightens the hold. She grabs her right arm and delivers a series of armbreakers.

Maika catches it, but Nakano rolls her up. Maika kicks out and delivers a back drop. Nakano goes for a brainbuster, but Maika counters and gets in position for a brainbuster. Maika counters and forcefully delivers a brainbuster. Maika kicks out, and Nakano goes for a Flame Drop. Nakano counterattacks, but Maika kicks her arm.

Nakano's comment
"I sent the muscle kokeshi doll back to the land of kokeshi dolls. This league is grueling, a grueling league, it's hell, a hellish series of matches. But I, Tam Nakano, and COSMIC ANGELS, with our new members, will become number one in Stardom, both as Tam Nakano personally and as COSMIC ANGELS. Watch Tam Road."

Iwatani's comment
"Today I won my third official match against Natsupoi. What score do you think I have now? 4 points. Correct! I'm focused on the match in front of me so I don't know who my opponent will be or what's ahead, but if I have an official match scheduled, I'll definitely win and increase my points by 2 each time. I don't have any titles this year, so I'll win here and challenge for that belt. I'm sure I'll be a one-time champion, no, a two-time champion, a three-time champion by the end of this year. Look forward to the second half of the season from Iwatani Mayu. Check it out!"
-- How was Natsupoi?
"I think it's been a while since my last singles match. I think I had a match at 5★STAR a few years ago, but since I'm smaller, I focused on striking today. Natsupoi currently holds the High Speed belt, so of course she was fast. I'm getting older and my body is declining in some ways, but I think Iwatani Mayu, as the champion with the most title defenses in High Speed, can still do it. So, that belt might actually belong to the High Speed champion. Stay tuned for that. Please keep an eye on my future actions."

Giulia: "Hello everyone in Korakuen who loves Giulia so much, how are you all doing!? You're all doing well. I'm so glad to see that everyone here is doing well. Giulia was a little down today. In this league, I'm now 2 wins and 2 losses, and I can't afford another loss. But...I don't think applause is the right thing to do. But, Giulia gets more fired up when she's on the edge of a cliff, when she's pushed to the limit.25thin Ota Ward. When I win the championship, when I, Giulia, win the championship, don't take your eyes off me. Arrivederci, see you next time."
Julia's comment
"Well, I heard that this is Koguma's first main event singles match at Korakuen in six years. So, after facing her for the first time in a singles match today, my impression is that even though she's called a genius, it'll still take her a little longer to beat Giulia. I felt like I was in danger many times, but I absolutely cannot lose here. It's been a long time since I've been in the main event at Korakuen, and it feels amazing to say 'arrivederci' surrounded by so many fans. I will definitely win this league tournament and return to the singles scene in many more singles matches. Don't miss it, everyone. Arrivederci, see you next time."
