| Mina Shirakawa <2 points> |
10 minutes 44 seconds |
Momoko Watanabe <0 points> |
This will be the first official match for both Mina Shirakawa and Momo Watanabe. The two faced each other in last year's 5★STAR GP, where Momo emerged victorious. Furthermore, Momo has a perfect record of winning all of their singles matches. This will be Momo's first singles match since joining Oedo Tai, so will Momo extend her winning streak, or will Shirakawa change the tide?

However, the referee spotted it and tried to take it away. Just then, Shirakawa delivered a neckbreaker followed by a Glamorous Collection MINA to roll up Momo and get the three count
Shirakawa: "I sealed away my goal of using the wrench! And on top of that, I won! Finally, finally, finally, I was able to beat Watanabe Momo. Chanmina has something to say.The three—want to challenge for the artist belt! I want to be TamutamuandKozuen's goddess of victory, Venus! I'll do my best, I'll do my best, I'll do my best, I'll do my best, I lost today so there's no room for objection, right?"
Momo: "Hey, Shirakawa Mina, you old hag,once! You old hag! A challenge? To this? Fine, I'll accept! But it'll only be a meaningless match for people like you. Well, even if it's just a meaningless match, I'll make you the biggest embarrassment of the century!"
Shirakawa: "You're the ones who're going to be embarrassed!"
Shirakawa's comment
"I finally beat Momoko Watanabe! I think this is our fifth singles match. I've been saying all sorts of things about sealing away the wrench, but in the end, I think of my 5★STAR as a league tournament to get closer to my current dream of winning the white belt, so beating Momoko Watanabe, who holds the record for the most white belt defenses, is a huge step for me. I'll keep doing this and I'll definitely get closer to my dream, I'll never give up on my dream. And we'll win the artist belt as Cozuen & COLOR'S. It's Momoko Watanabe, the one who's going to be embarrassed because of her wrench addiction!"

Sera's comment
"I thought my jaw was going to fall off. SAKI's boots, the ones that kick you in the face, I've taken them so many times so I thought they were the most important thing, but in the end I still get kicked, and her brainbusters are so powerful, what's up with that girl? She has legs and strength, it's not fair. I'm jealous. But you know what, I'm the one who beat SAKI. SAKI is my contemporary, in our 10th year as well. For some reason we've had three matches since entering our 10th year . We've never had a singles match before, but we've had three , one of which was a draw, but Sera has two wins and is ahead. Even if we have one more match, I'm sure Sera will win, so next time, I don't care if it's boots or a brainbuster, just train harder and make sure you're strong enough to break Sera's jaw. See you then."

Comments from KAIRI & Natsupoi
KAIRI: "We won."
Natsupoi: "We won. I'm so happy."
KAIRI: "Today's victory is entirely thanks to Natsupoi. Really."
Natsupoi: "KAIRI-san... I really wanted to win today so that KAIRI-san could see what I've become, and so that I could have a match against KAIRI-san! I fought with that feeling in mind today."
KAIRI: "First of all, I'm touched that she thinks that way. Even when she was in America, she was incredibly diligent, reporting to me about everything, almost too diligently. I've always been interested in her progress, and I think the cage match must have been terrifying. I don't think there are many wrestlers who can give their all in such a scary place without getting injured. And yet she did so well to get through two consecutive matches. The results of that were clearly evident in today's match. To be honest, I might have lost if it wasn't for Natsupoi. Mayu's kicks are as painful as ever, so intense that they feel good and make you dream, but for a moment I was caught off guard and she attacked my arm, which was honestly dangerous. And it was Natsupoi who came to my rescue at that point. I can't express how much she saved me. In tag team matches, individual power is necessary, but I think teamwork is the biggest key to victory. Today was almost the second time, but it's been six years?"
Natsupoi: "It's been six years."
KAIRI: "But I don't feel that way at all, so please continue to have high expectations for her!"
Natsupoi: "Thank you. Please check out the Natsupoi Revolution and the Kozuen Revolution on Kozuen as well."
KAIRI: "You can do it. You can definitely do it."
Natsupoi: "I'll do my best to be able to release a single someday."
KAIRI: "Let's do it. Yes. Thank you very much."
Natsupoi: "Poi Rates!"

In this one-on-one match, Giulia had to withdraw from last year's 5★STAR GP due to injury and is aiming for revenge and victory this year. MIRAI is this year's Cinderella Tournament winner and is aiming to become the first person in history to win both the spring and summer tournaments.

"Two wins in a row. I was able to walk back down that aisle on my own two feet for two days in a row. It's my first league tournament, and I don't really know how to fight in a league tournament, but I'm going to go all out from the start. Giulia, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here. So I wanted to convey my gratitude to you in the ring, even just a little. But it's still not enough to repay you, so next time we fight, I'll repay you with a Miramare Shock. Giulia, thank you so much. And yesterday I said here that I would become the ace of Stardom, and I meant it wholeheartedly. A Cinderella story in the middle of summer, a summer of courage, this Cinderella's MIRAI will put my soul into changing the ordinary scenery this summer."

Saya Kamitani <0 points> |
Saya Kamitani and Starlight Kid, who competed for the white belt, will face each other again in a 5★STAR GP official match. In the title match on July 9th in Tachikawa, Kamitani successfully defended the belt and also won all three of her singles matches against Kid. However, at the event the day before, Kamitani lost a tag team match to Nanami Takahashi and KAIRI, and KAIRI's appeal made a white belt match a certainty. Therefore, the current champion, who was insulted by the former champion, must fight in this league tournament with the goal of a title match against a Stardom legend in mind. Moreover, her opponent is Kid, the "bundle of desire" who is looking for revenge. It's safe to say that this first match will be a major challenge for Kamitani
Kamitani stands up after taking a barrage of elbows from Kid. Kid takes mount and delivers a series of elbows. "I'm not gonna lose to you!" shouts Kid.

Kid lands a moonsault press, but Kamitani kicks out. Kid goes for a Tiger Suplex, but Kamitani counters with a spinning kick followed by a missile kick. Kid kicks out, and Kamitani hits a fisherman suplex. Kid counters Kamitani's attempt at a Star Crusher and rolls him up in a series of pins.

Kamitani hit a dropkick, followed by a double kick and a knee kick. Kamitani went for the Star Crusher, but Kid countered and rolled him up with a Momo☆Latch for the three count.
Kid's comment
"I'm so annoyed with myself for not being able to get this result in Tachikawa for the Wonder of Stardom match. But, I got my first singles win against Kamiya, the opponent I least wanted to lose to. And on top of that, I even snatched two crucial points. I think this is a really big victory for me, but defeating the Wonder of Stardom Champion directly means that...but! Right now I'm also aiming for the 5★STAR GP, so I'm not going to jump the gun and challenge again right away. But! This one win isn't enough to erase the words I said backstage the other day. I mean, why was Champion Kamiya crying yesterday? What do the eight people who have challenged me so far, and me, think of my challenges and words? It's ridiculous. But, it's still far from a complete victory. I'm going to haunt you, Kamiya, for the rest of your life until your fragile mentality is completely shattered. For now, 5★STAR GP, Kamiya Saya, divine punishment complete."
