She will be looking to secure two points here to maintain her top position. Sakurai, who advanced to the main tournament after winning the qualifying league, has a record of 3 wins so far despite having more losses than wins, which is better than expected.

Kid, on the other hand, has one loss, but depending on her future performance, she still has a chance. What kind of chemistry will Kid's speed and Sorei's power create?

6 minutes 18 seconds |
Tam Nakano <6 points> |
Tam Nakano and Saki Kashima will clash in the 5★STAR GP official league match. Nakano is in a good position so far with 3 wins and 1 loss, even though it's only the first half of the season. On the other hand, Kashima is at the halfway point with 2 wins and 4 losses, and cannot afford to lose any more matches. That said, if Kashima can pull off a comeback, there is a chance that she could win all of her remaining matches. For that reason, she absolutely cannot afford to lose this match against Nakano. For Nakano, who has had almost no luck in the 5★STAR GP until now, this is a match where she will definitely want to secure 2 points in order to win her first championship
When Kashima was introduced with a photobook in hand, she snatched the microphone from the ring announcer and appealed to the crowd, saying, "You guys better buy a photobook before you go home." As the match began, Kashima extended her hand and said, "Nice to meet you. Let's do this fairly and squarely."
