Hazuki & Koguma's comments
Hazuki: "We successfully won our first tag league match against the team of Hanan and Rinami."
Koguma: "It seems those two didn't get along. If a tag team doesn't get along, of course they can't win. I think they had a complete victory today."
Hazuki: "Even though they didn't get along at times, they really showed that they're sisters, and they were in sync somehow. Kids who have been doing this since they were little, like in elementary school, really grow up fast." Koguma: "They do grow fast, they really do. They're young, after all."
Hazuki: "Up until now, we've been able to win easily, but this time there were some parts that were a bit risky. But in the end, we secured the victory, so we want to keep winning next time and continue on the path to becoming champions."
—This was your second time teaming up, following your match in Takasaki the day before. What were your impressions?
Koguma: "We've hardly ever teamed up before, but it works surprisingly well considering that."
Hazuki: "Looking at us, we all seem to have very different personalities, but when it comes to the match, we seem to work together really well."
Koguma: "I feel like we're complementing each other's disparate elements (laughs)."
—This is the first time you've faced off against members of the Oedo Tai, the group you originally belonged to. What will your relationship with them be like now?
Hazuki: "But from what I hear, Natsuko, the leader of Oedo Tai, has already made it clear that she's absolutely not going to let me join Oedo Tai. So, I think we'll be fighting as enemies from now on. And I suppose there was the option of joining Oedo Tai when I returned, but that would be me being complacent. So, I didn't think that would happen, and I'm on the same page as Natsuko, the leader of Oedo Tai, so I hope we can go head-to-head from now on."

"I'm in a bad mood."
Comments from Shimi and Kamiya
Utami: "In Aphrodite's official tournament, we were surprised to lose a three-pointer to those two in our first important match . But it's okay, it's only the beginning. There are still more matches to come. Let's win all the remaining matches. Let's change our mindset."

Kid: "Isn't that impressive? It's frustrating, but for a first match, things didn't go as MOMOAZ wanted. I mean, Watanabe Momo, are you really the leader of QQ? You missed your chance to kick the mask at the end, you missed every opportunity from the start. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about you, you've lost in every way before the match even began. You have a narrow perspective! If you're a leader, you should stand out more than any of the other members. Act like a leader. That's why the other members get to steal the show, isn't it? I love people who get angry and lose their temper. Watanabe Momo,November3rd. I'm not going to let that happen. You'll understand how scary I am right now."
