She will be looking to build momentum towards completing her Cinderella story, but it seems unlikely that she will have a tough time against Konami.

The referee counted to20, resulting in a double count-out and a draw.
Tsukiyama's comment
"When I first came to Stardom, I always admired Konami, and today I got to fight her. But I couldn't defeat her so easily. I really wanted my first singles match to be something like this, something that would give me momentum for tomorrow's Cinderella, so I'm filled with a lot of frustration. Please let's have another singles match. Next time it won't be like this."

Comment from Kamitani
"Today's poison mist was payback for what happened last time. Well, my legs were attacked quite a bit today, but on the day of the title match, you'll get to experience every inch of me. I do have some trauma, but I'll firmly restore those broken wings and make a grand comeback as Golden Phoenix on the day of the title match. Everyone, please come and witness it."
Shirakawa's comment
"Hahahahaha...! Kamiya, this is it. Kamiya always pretends to be a good girl, doesn't she? This is what I wanted, it hurts, it stings. Hehehe... Kamiya, that's good. But what's the point of doing the same thing as me? Come up with something more interesting. You're just getting revenge for what I did to you. But still, Kamiya has this dark, murky, or rather, sludge-like emotion in her heart. Well, we'll both bring it out and crush Yokohama. At the end of the Hiroshima match the other day, Kamiya asked me, 'Was this belt despair? Or hope?' This time at Yokohama Arena, I'll ask Kamiya the same thing. I will definitely take that white belt from Kamiya."

"The trophy broke. It broke, butthe 11thtime! Yay!

I wouldn't mind doing it again. And on Twitter, Mei Suruga said something like she wasn't interested in me because I wasn't the champion, but I brought the belt back properly, so please team up with me properly (23rd)."

Himeka: "This is Maihime's last performance. Ah... I decided I wouldn't cry until I retired, but somehow I end up crying every time, don't I?"
Maika: "I'm crying (laughs)"
Himeka: "Since I proposed this match, I've had mixed feelings about this day coming, both wanting it to come and not wanting it to come. I feel like something is ending within me and within the fans. It's sad that it's ending, after all (laughs). But there are still three more matches."
Maika: "There's still more."
Himeka: "Especially since Arikaba is now in a completely different unit, I'm really grateful that she readily agreed to participate. And Maika, thank you for always being by my side. I won't cry when I face you in a match (laughs)."
Maika: "Hey, don't mess around (laughs). Well, I did cry a lot, too, about Himeka's singles match. IApril 23rd. And now, I feel like I'm finally ready. At Yokohama Arena, I want to have a match that's true to Maika and Himeka's character, a match that will be remembered as the best match in Stardom, a match I won't regret."
Himeka: "Please bear with me until the end. Hehe. There's still tomorrow."
Maika: "We have tomorrow too. Until then, I'll keep walking beside Himeka."
Comments from Julia and Akari
Giulia: "It's over! Arikaba, a one-night revival, Himeka, Maihime's last match. No, it's over."
Akari: "It's over now."
Julia: "Thank you very much, Akari."
Shuri: "Thank you. If Himeka hadn't decided to retire, I don't think we would have been able to team up at AriKaba, and I was really happy to be able to team up again after so long. I think that's all thanks to Himeka, and I never thought that the four of us would be able to have a match together after I left and was separated from the other three. So I was really happy that it was possible today. Thank you so much. Thank you so much, Himeka."
Julia: "I still can't quite believe that Himeka is actually retiring."
Akari: "There wasn't any."
Julia: "When you actually do it like this, you're left speechless."
Akari: "It hit me really hard after it was over. It's a bit overwhelming. I'm going to cry again."
Giulia: "But, even though she's retiring, we'll still be able to meet again. She'll come to the venue from time to time. It's not like we'll never see each other again. It's just that it's sad that a cute, big, strong, and adorable wrestler like Himeka will be leaving this ring, this women's pro wrestling. But we can't stop here either, so we'll be heading towards Yokohama Arena."
Akari: "The same to you."
Julia: "Yes, let's do it."
Akari: "Let's do it. Let's finish off with Arikaba."
Julia: "Okay, here we go. Forza!"
Akari: "Paso!"
Julia & Akari: "Arikaba!"
Julia "Arrivederci"
Akari: "Salamapo"
Julia: "See you later!"
