She had been absent since July of last year due to entrance exams, but made a comeback on 3/6, and this will be her second match since her return.

Nanami slams Kid down, Umezaki delivers a missile kick, and Nanami follows with a diving body press. Kid kicks out, and Nanami declares she's going for the finish and delivers a Northern Lights suplex.10minutes have passed. Nanami declares she's going for one more, but Ryuka interferes. Oedo Tai launch a corner attack, and Kid delivers a Northern Lights suplex. However, Nanami manages to counter it.

Ryuka and Kid lift Nanami up and slam her onto the mat. However, Umezaki's cut was successful. Kid landed a moonsault press for the three count. Kid pinned Nanami.
Kid: "Youth is great! Haruka Umezaki, next time you've grown even more, I'll have a singles match with you. Or, how about joining Oedo Tai? No, actually, I don't need that."
Umezaki: "I lost the match, but I'm incredibly frustrated with myself for getting a little happy when I was told I'd be joining Oedo Tai. Don't just throw me away. Today was my first time participating in Stardom, and there are many other wrestlers I'm interested in and want to fight, but nothing will start until I settle things with Starlight Kid in a singles match, so I don't think she'll be satisfied just by beating Nanami, so I'm open to either the Stardom ring or the Diana ring. I absolutely want to settle things in a singles match."
Kid: "If you grow stronger than you are now."

Amasaki: "It was fun."
Shimi: "But if you join Queen's Quest, I think you'll have more fun matches, and we can work together towards the top that Mitsuyoshi is aiming for. Why don't you join Queen's Quest and work hard together?"
Amasaki: "Even before my debut, I knew that Queen's Quest was the only group I could join! I'd gladly accept Shimi's invitation."
Shimi: "Let's work hard together in Queen's Quest from now on! So, since we've made our debut and joined Queen's Quest, let's have Mitsuki wrap things up today."

Comments from Shimi and Amasaki
Utami: "In the world of professional wrestling, Stardom's highly anticipated newcomer, Mitsuyoshi Amasaki, has successfully made her debut!"
Amasaki: "Thank you."
Shimi: "Thank you, and congratulations on your debut."
Amasaki: "I was able to make my debut without any problems. From now on, I will do my best to bloom at the top of the ring."
Utami: "As her name suggests, Mitsuyoshi will definitely become a wrestler who will reach the top of the Stardom ring in the future. Please look forward to it. From now on, as Queen's Quest, we would like to work together to make Stardom even more exciting. Thank you very much."
--You were my opponent in my debut match
Utami: "It really brought back memories of my own debut match, and just like me, Mitsuki had high expectations placed upon her from the wrestlers, the organization, and the fans even before her debut, so I understand how she feels. That's why I wanted Mitsuki to do her best, and I didn't think she was the kind of girl who would succumb to that kind of pressure, so I went into the match with high expectations."
—What was the most noticeable aspect of the high expectations you felt after playing the match?
Shimi: "She was naturally athletic, but more than anything, you could really feel her desire to win, her movements, and the aura she exuded—her strong desire to win, her desire to do her best in pro wrestling, and her desire to truly reach the top."
--After playing the match
Amasaki: "The ring is different from what I saw when I was a fan, and I've started to form an image of the kind of wrestler I want to become, so I want to put my heart and soul into each and every match so that I can work hard towards that goal."
Shimi: "I put my heart and soul into it (wry smile). No, that's not it."
Amasaki: "I'll do my best."
—What kind of player do you want to become?
Amasaki: "My name means 'blooming in the heavens,' so I want to become a wrestler who blooms at the very top of the ring."
—If you were to rate the match, what score would it be?
Amasaki: "There were some parts where I couldn't quite finish the job, so... I'd give myself about 80 points."
—What score would you give Tensaki, Shimi?
Shimi: " 70 points. 70 points because I could see her giving her all, her passion was evident, and her athletic ability was good. The 30 points deducted are because I'm this energetic after the match."
—You joined QQ, but did you have any admiration for Shimi?
Amasaki: "Yes. I've been close to the top of Stardom since before my debut..."
Shimi: "Not just close, it's the very top."
Amasaki: "She was someone I felt close to, so I thought I had to work hard to surpass her, and that's why I felt I had to join QQ."
Shimi: "We're at the top."
--You used a double-arm flying piledriver and a roll-up technique. You were using original moves from your debut match, but were they taught to you by someone, or did you come up with them yourself? Answer if you can
Amasaki: "Ah, I can't answer that."
Shimi: "I'll answer."
Amasaki: "I will answer..."
Shimi whispered
Amasaki: "I've always been a fan of AZM, and when I was a trainee, I secretly trained with AZM, my idol, and that's how I learned the modified piledriver. Milano is the one who rolls up my opponents."
--You became a member of QQ
Shimi: "Yes, that's an important point. Queen's Quest, in tomorrow's five-match series against Oedo Tai, there was one X, right? It's not that Queen's Quest couldn't find X, or that Hinami couldn't make it in time! We've been thinking about having Mitsuyoshi join Queen's Quest for a while now, so we've kept that spot open. Tomorrow, Mitsuyoshi will join, and we hope that Queen's Quest will rise even higher, to the very top."
