Match Details Report
Greetings from President Taro Okada
"Hello everyone. Thank you very much for coming today. Before the matches begin, I would like to make an announcement to you all. We know that many of you have been suffering greatly from the earthquake that occurred on January 1st. For this tournament, we have decided to donate a portion of the proceeds to those affected by the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake. We, the Bushiroad Group, Bushiroad Fight, and New Japan Pro-Wrestling, have also made donations in this manner in January and have been taking action by collecting donations at our tournaments. It is a small amount, but we pray for the speedy recovery of everyone, offer our deepest sympathies to those affected, and pray for the repose of the souls of those who lost their lives. We will continue to think carefully about what we can do to cheer you up, so once again, we ask for your continued support of Stardom and Bushiroad Fight. Please enjoy the day. Thank you."

Nakano: "Saori-chan, Tamu's match is also a super special, super ultra, delicious card. ... (To Anno) Don't just stare blankly. If Nakano Tamu and Iwatani Mayu teamed up now, wouldn't that create an incredible chemical reaction!? There's something I want to confirm with Iwatani Mayu. March 9th at Yokohama Budokan, it's a super... what was it? A super special, delicious Yokohama Budokan event, so please come and support us there. If you absolutely can't make it, there will be a live stream as well. Thank you very much. (To Iwatani) Aren't you going to say anything?"

Anno: "It's okay. Leave it to me. I'll do my best as your partner. What about you? Special, ultra, delicious, miracle, power, special?"
Nakano: "Well, yeah. It's been about two years since Iwatani Mayu and Nakano Tam teamed up, right? Four years ago, on January 16, 2020 , the day of Iwatani Mayu's Women's Pro Wrestling Awards ceremony, we made a promise. I said that Tam would be next. Four years later, I've finally fulfilled what you said. I've made a lot of other promises with Iwatani, and you might not remember them, but Tam is a woman who clings to her past, so I remember them all. Even the promise from two years ago. There's something I want to confirm with Iwatani Mayu at the Yokohama Budokan on March 9th. It's special."
Anno: "This is special. Yesterday, when I arrived in Kanazawa, I went to a convenience store. And there was a sign on a clear board at the register that said, 'Thank you for coming to support us.' When I saw that, I felt that there are things we can do, even if they are small. Coming here today to entertain you all is one of those things, and that's why we'll come back to Kanazawa again in good health, and let's have fun together then. Thank you for today."
