Kid: "An easy win right at the start of the new year! Those guys are no match for us. So, Young OED will challenge the artist held by Maihimepoi! It's a better fit for us young people than for those guys, in terms of color and everything else! But, it seems like Natsupoi won't be able to perform until the end of this month... Well, that can't be helped, so hey Rossy, put together a match as soon as February starts! ... Respond. Okay, so this year too, Oedo Tai and I, Starlight Kid, will keep you all entertained and thrilled. Goodbye."

Lady: "Thank you very much. Up until now, I've had the opportunity to team up with and be supported by members of various units. Queen's Quest was the one who patted me on the back and sent me off when I was incredibly nervous before my debut match, and they were also my corner man for my debut match. Queen's Quest has always watched my matches and helped me grow. I decide for myself who I trust. AZM, Utami, Kamiya, I trust Queen's Quest. Thank you for your support!"

I think a lot of you have been speculating about who it will be. Whether it's what you expected or not. Whether it's a big name or not. But I don't think it matters whether they're a big name or not. There's no doubt about what these two have . I want you to see them shine in this ring. I'm sure they'll have a great match and I'm sure they'll become huge stars.
