Iwatani: "Good evening, everyone in Osaka! Hazuki has joined STARS and has achieved a victory in her first match. STARS is really gaining momentum from here on out, so next month we have a match here in Osaka, at the next venue (I think ? )? Will you all come and watch? I don't want to lose this momentum, so I have a suggestion. Since we've all formed a unit now, how about a unit tournament? But I don't want it to be just any unit tournament. I want to put something on the line. Something? Each wrestler, each participating member, will bring cash as an entry fee. Everyone who participates will bring their own money. Well, I 'd like to aim for 10 million. Both of you, please pay up properly."
Hazuki: "I'll leave all the financial matters to Mayu, our leader."
Iwatani: "Now, now, now. Now, now, now. Leaving STARS aside for now, what do you think of a unit tournament where the winner will receive 10 million yen in cash, depending on how much cash is collected? Well, I don't know if we'll be able to collect 10 million yen, but yeah. Next month is the Osaka tournament. QQ and Oedo Tai have other matches scheduled. So, we're looking forward to other members, members of other units, joining us. So, I'm really looking forward to next month's Osaka tournament. STARS will definitely try to win it. STARS has won, so new member Hazuki, please wrap things up."
Hazuki: "Okay, so let's win the unit tournament and use the money to have a welcome party for me! Is that alright? Is it okay to do it? Please have a welcome party. Believe in the present and shine tomorrow, We are STARS!"
STARS' comments
Hazuki: "This was my first six-person tag team match since joining STARS, and I think there were some slightly shaky moments, but we won decisively in the end, so with this momentum, STARS will be heading towards a unit tournament? Next month? A unit tournament with 10 million yen at stake."
Iwatani: "Everyone paid for it themselves."
Koguma: "Mayu will put out STARS herself. She just needs to win and get 10 million yen, right?"
Hazuki: "So let's have a big welcome party for Hazuki."
-- How much will Iwatani pay?
Iwatani: "..."
Hazuki: "The units are QQ, and Oedo Tai won't be performing, so that means it's STARS, DDM, and Kozuen."
Iwatani: "Huh, there are only three?"
Hazuki: "But Lady will be in a separate category. Lady will gather everyone else by herself."
Little bear: "That's true."
Hazuki: "It would be better to have about four teams."
Iwatani: "Putting aside how much I'm going to bet for a moment, this is a unit tournament, so everyone should try not to lose. I think they'll probably bet a lot to show off."
Koguma: "If we split it evenly,2.5million each."
Iwatani: "Well, my wish is that we can raise 10 million yen."
――1000Will it be canceled if we don't raise enough money?
Iwatani: "No, we will definitely hold the event. But since we have the opportunity to compete in such a huge venue, we won't let it end as just a regular unit tournament. We will definitely make it happen and the winner will receive the prize money."
Koguma: "STARS will get it."
--It's been a while since we've seen a rocket
Iwatani: "The rocket has been launched."
Little bear: "Nostalgic."
Iwatani: "When you think of STARS, when you think of the regular army, you think of rockets, so I thought that if the two of them were the base, they would really send us flying. But you know, it feels really good when that move works."
Hazuki: "We haven't flown in about six years."
Koguma: "I was always the one getting hit, so it would just come right at me in the face."
Iwatani: "I see. It was her first time, but she did so well. The finish came after that, so it was really powerful. Hazuki has joined, and she herself might still feel a little strange about whether she's really fit in as part of STARS, but we're really glad that she's joined, and we feel that STARS still has a lot of potential, so we want to keep this momentum going."
Hazuki & Koguma: "Yes"
