Hanan: "Of course! I look forward to working with you."
Hanan's comment
"I achieved my V4! Sakurai Mai has gotten so much stronger. Her elbows are incredibly heavy, and her big boots almost knocked my face off. But I defended the belt for two days at Ryogoku! That was great. And next up is Hinami. I hope Hinami will make a comeback and keep rising up the ranks. The three Minami sisters want to pass this belt around, so please look forward to our future matches."

Comment from Utami
"MIRAI, you're quite a passionate guy. I really dislike overly enthusiastic people, but I welcome someone as passionate as you. However, isn't the spirit you pour into it still a bit wavering? DDM seems to be having a tough time right now. Shouldn't you quickly decide on your own path and solidify that passionate spirit of yours a bit?"
MIRAI's comment
"Damn it... I lost today's fight. Hayashishita Utami was strong today and I was weak. That's all there is to it. I'm really frustrated that I lost to Hayashishita Utami, but it was a surrender loss. I feel like I lost to myself as well, or rather, I couldn't push past the limits of my own spirit today. That's what's frustrating. However, I can't end it like this, so even though today is the second day at Ryogoku, the tournament awaits me as soon as this is over. If both Hayashishita Utami and I win, I think we'll meet again in the second round, and I'll get my revenge there. And I think what I do after these two days are very important. I'm still bothered by the fact that I surrendered today, so I want to think carefully before I act."

KAIRI's comment
"Right now, my eardrum is ruptured, so I can't hear... Kid, your elbows were heavy. Each of your moves had more weight than I expected, and you were really fired up during the match. You were a different Kid than before. At one point, you targeted my arm, so I couldn't use my signature elbows or attack in that direction. That was a bit of carelessness on my part, but Ianothermatch to settle this completely. I didn't expect my arm to be hurt this much. I think you've gotten stronger. I've also found some areas to work on, and my eardrum has ruptured. You're good... My eardrum was ruptured, and it's strange, but I was happy. I'm happy with the pain. I think the feeling of being a pro wrestler comes when you feel pain and when you face that pain head-on. I found some areas to work on today, but it reminds me again how fun pro wrestling is. Not every match goes well, which is why I think that no matter how many years pass, you have to keep striving to reach higher levels and pursue improvement in pro wrestling. The blood has stopped flowing from my fingers. They've turned green."
--Regarding future participation
"I've been preparing for thesetwomatches, so I can't say for sure what's next, but I want to come back much, much stronger."
--It's been a while since I played a match
"The first thing I felt was how much fun it was. I'm so glad I became a professional wrestler, and I'm incredibly happy to be able to compete in such a large venue again and to be greeted with applause from so many people. I believe that the fact that we were able to create such a big place to return to is the result of the tireless efforts of all the Stardom wrestlers, staff, and everyone involved. With all the away matches and consecutive shows, the wrestlers must be using their bodies a lot, and it's tough, so no one can always ride a good wave. There are times when you feel down, times when things don't go well, everyone has their ups and downs... and I'm truly grateful that so many talented wrestlers have gathered here, and I'm filled with gratitude to everyone. It went by so quickly, but I was so happy to be able to fight alongside everyone. Thank you."
Kid's comment
"KAIRI has spread her wings to the world, and she's an actress from start to finish. As expected. Today, I wanted to confirm something for myself. Fighting against KAIRI, a world star, has confirmed it for me. KAIRI is the symbol of Wonder of Stardom. She defeated Io Shirai and won the red belt. KAIRI and I are alike, aren't we? Well, in that case, in this world of women's pro wrestling, in the openweight division, with my physique, I'll become the symbol of the white belt even more than KAIRI. I'm aiming for the white belt. But, white alone is boring, isn't it? Red too..." Sometimes I think it's okay to aim for it. She's getting interested in all sorts of things around the world. I feel like she's finally grasped a big dream. Well, yesterday she won the Goddess belt, so basically she's going for the Stardom title, the Grand Slam. So, Cinderella's victory is a certainty. KAIRI, I want to fight you again and again. Singles, tag team, with the Goddess title on the line, anything is fine. And for today's main event, red, I want to see Iwatani Mayu return to the top once again."

Maika: "When it comes to tag teams, it's Maihime for me. Let's go at each other anytime, anywhere."
Giulia: "If you're still determined to go up against us, then I'll take you on. That's all. Oh, sorry, sorry. Also, I used to wear the Goddess belt, but it was taken by FWC at the time. But, you know, Shuri left yesterday, and it seems like the Goddess belt has gone to some other team."
Thekla: "I wanted to team up with Giulia from the beginning, everyone knows that. I was with Syuri for a while, but I think now is a good time. I wanted to have a match against Starlight Kid."
Giulia: "Yeah, I wanted to go today, but the timing is really difficult. So I'll make my challenge here today. Black Desire? Giulia and Tekla are the next challengers for the Goddess belt."
Comments from the Sera Group
Suzu: "Julia, DDM, don't think you've won yet. We came here to drag them to the bottom of the earth. We're not letting them get away."
Mochi: "Giulia, isn't that great? You've gotten stronger since joining Stardom, haven't you? But even though you might have won today with a nice assist from your teammates, you've never pinned me, right? You know what I'm getting at, Giulia. Just wait."
Akane: "Julia and I didn't get matched today."
Sera: "That wasn't right, was it?"
Fujita: "I was doing nothing but Maihime."
Sera: "I got a little carried away. They're a great tag team. To be honest, I thought Donna del Mondo wasn't that great without Shuri and I wasn't interested in them, but I've found a good one. Maika is good, isn't she? I've found a good one. I want to go all out against her in a singles match someday. I'm looking forward to it."
Fujita: "When Himeka did it before, she was so weak, but now she's gotten so strong. It was kind of fun when she was hitting me. I want to hit Julia too, but like Sera, I think she's found a slightly different target. Our big boss is still waiting in the wings."
Kurumi Hiiragi: "My return is still a long way off, so I don't know what will happen, but I hope I can face her when that time comes."
Sera: "Next time, let's do it with all five of us, including Kurumi Hiiragi. I'm looking forward to it, see you again somewhere."

"I successfully defended my title for the fourth time. To be honest, I'm so exhausted and physically worn out that I can't even speak. Well, I'm speaking now, though. This was my seventh singles match against Tamu. She's like a mentor to me, and today I'm certain of it. I realized that Tamu is the only opponent I can go head-to-head with and give it my all like this. She's overflowing with kindness, strength, and love, and I truly feel that I will cherish this white belt that I inherited from Tamu from the bottom of my heart. I will continue to push forward with all my might. Next up is the Cinderella Tournament, so I'll be aiming for my second consecutive victory."

Iwatani's comment
"Today was the first main event in a long time, and it was the red belt. It was the best chance for me, and I wanted to win the red belt for the third time, set a new Stardom record, and seize this opportunity to reclaim the red belt. But I think this result reflects my current abilities. But! I'm not giving up yet. Iwatani Mayu declares! I will definitely win the belt this year. I couldn't win the red belt today. But! Next, I'm aiming for the SWA belt! You might think, what is she talking about, after not winning the red belt today, but Iwatani Mayu will set a new record. If I win the SWA belt, I won't have the authority to win the Future title since it was created, so I'll aim for the other belts, and (if I win the SWA) I'll have achieved a Grand Slam.2022, Iwatani Mayu didn't win the red belt, but I will definitely win the belt this year. Thank you for your support."
Comment from Juri
"I got my revenge against Mayu Iwatani. And I successfully defended the red belt for two days at Ryogoku. But this is not the end. There are many very strong wrestlers in Stardom. I want to continue to defend my title against various opponents. Also, my unit will be starting next month, so please look forward to it. My momentum is unstoppable. I will continue to forge ahead on my own path."
