Maika: "That's right. The next match is on March 9th at Yokohama Budokan, and on that day, Shirakawa and I will be teaming up against Aphrodite against Iwatani Mayu and Nakano Tam, for some reason I don't really understand. As I said in the ring earlier, I want to win here and prove who can lead Stardom."
