Seira's comment
"I was really nervous because it was Yuzuki's last match in Stardom, and I was her last opponent. But I had a special feeling for Yuzuki, so I'm really glad that I was able to be her opponent in her final match. Even though we're going to different rings now, I hope that someday I'll have a singles match against Yuzuki for the High Speed belt. Thank you."
Yumizuki's comment
"Now that I've finished my last match in Stardom and STARS, I feel really sad, but the feeling of having had so much fun is much stronger. I truly feel from the bottom of my heart that I'm so glad I was able to stand in this ring. And I was so happy to be able to fight against Mei. I've always admired the High Speed belt, and I was able to fight against Mei, who holds that belt, and also Mei, who won the Goddess belt yesterday, making her a two-time champion. I'm so happy and I'm so glad I was able to fight her. We'll be going our separate ways, but I want to fight Mei again, and next time I want to fight for that belt. Thank you so much for today. Thank you all so much for watching my match until the very end. I will never disappoint your expectations, so please continue to follow me. Thank you."

Nakano: "Sakurai, can I ask you one thing? What does 'lady' mean? Just kidding. So, Sakurai, was it the right decision for you to leave Kozuen and choose DDM?"
Sakurai: "I'm really glad I chose DDM. But my roots are in Kozuen, and it's an unforgettable and very important place for me. Tam-san, thank you for letting me join Kozuen. I'm sorry for all the terrible things I said."
Nakano: "I won't allow that."
Sakurai: "Please forgive me. But I really couldn't tell you this for a long time, but I was truly grateful. Thank you!"
Nakano: "I'm glad to hear that. I'm sure you can make the path you choose from now on the right one, so please make it the right one. When you choose any path, it's not about which one is the right path, but about making the path you choose the right one. That's what I think a professional wrestler is. Thank you."
The two shook hands
Sakurai: "Tamu-san, I actually really loved you! I'm so glad we met."
Nakano: "Really?"
Nakano pulled Sakurai close and hugged him. Sakurai bowed to all four sides and left the ring
Nakano's comment
"I once said that a pro wrestler is someone who makes the path they choose the right one, and I don't know if Sakurai remembers that, but today I was really glad to hear from you that you're glad you chose DDM. From now on, please make sure that the path you choose is the right one. You left after saying so many bad things about Kozuen, so it would be a problem if you didn't. But I also understand that you said those bad things to cut off any way back and motivate yourself. Thank you. Lastly, can I ask you one last thing that I really, really wanted to ask you?...What is a lady?"
Sakurai's comment
"I was so happy to have my last match in Stardom against Tam Nakano. I'm glad I was able to tell Tam in the ring things that I've always been unable to say in my heart and that have been bothering me. All the past members of Cozuen, including Tam, Mina Shirakawa, and Sayaka Unagi, have spread their wings and shone on their own separate paths. Seeing them made me want to shine even brighter. I want to shine on the path I have chosen. So, everyone, thank you for everything so far. Goodbye."

MIRAI: "I'm in pain all over. My head is full of thoughts and I can't say anything cool, but I'm truly, truly grateful to everyone. Thank you."
Akari: "MIRAI, thank you so, so much. I was truly happy to have been able to do God's Eye with you. Wherever you go, God's Eye will always be an important part of your life. I want you to go all out on the path you believe in. We both only have one life, so let's live it to the fullest. I look forward to seeing you in the ring again. MIRAI, can we end with God's Eye? Then MIRAI, please!"
MIRAI: "Don't give up on yourself, surpass your limits. God's Eye, lock on with all your soul!"
God's Eye's comment
MIRAI: "On my last day with the company, I was able to fight against each of the four members of God's Eye one by one, and I feel like I'm a very fortunate person. I'm hurting in various places...Yes, I can't really put it into words, but I'm truly, truly grateful to everyone. I will continue to forge my own path. Thank you very much."
Shuri: "Today marks MIRAI's last day as a member of God's Eye. But I'm so happy that we could send her off here at God's Eye, and it was truly reassuring to have MIRAI with us as a member of God's Eye. I'm really sad, and to be honest, I wish we could have continued working together for much longer. But you only live once, so I hope you'll run down the path you believe in and make it the best life you can have. That's what I wish for you. We will remain in Stardom and continue to show you the best matches as Stardom. Thank you everyone. Everyone's crying so much (laughs)."
Yagami: "It was only for a short time, but I'm happy that I was able to be in the same unit as MIRAI-san, and I'm also happy that we were able to release a single and that I was able to learn from her. I definitely want to keep using this experience going forward (tears). Thank you."
Sorei: "I feel like I've conveyed all my gratitude to MIRAI during those five minutes in the ring, so even though we're going our separate ways, I believe we'll definitely meet again as long as we're both still active wrestlers. Let's meet again."
Kashima: "MIRAI-chan and I are close even outside of training, and to be honest, I went out to eat with her more often than I went to practice...I'm sorry. I really, really love MIRAI-chan's straightforward wrestling. So I'm looking forward to the day when we can face each other again."
Shuri: "MIRAI, I'm looking forward to the day we can meet again in the ring. Let's both do our best. Thank you."

Giulia: "I couldn't win. I wanted to win. That's all, that's all. Suzu has become so strong, she's become champion and won 5★STAR, and seeing how far Suzu has come, I'm glad that I've kept thinking about Suzu all this time. This will be our second farewell in the ring, I'm sorry. I'm always so selfish. We couldn't settle things, but if we can meet again, I guess we can put off settling things until then. Suzu, you absolutely have to become the face of the pro wrestling world. I'm expecting great things from you. Do your best!"
Suzuki: "Julia, I love you! I've never once thought I hated you."
Julia: "Really?"
Suzuki: "It's true! I've always loved you. I'll definitely stand in front of you again, just like I did back then, and punch you with all my might, so you can look forward to it!"
Suzuki's comment
"Well, I'm really sorry for my awful face. Giulia, Giulia, this is the first time in my life I've ever wanted a match to go on forever, and I really didn't want it to end. The match is over, but Giulia and Suzu Suzuki's story starts now. This is just the beginning. Chapter three, I guess. Just like you're going to become a big star, I'm going to become a big star and the face of the pro wrestling world, so you absolutely, absolutely can't let your guard down. I'm going to punch you again! Be prepared!"
Julia's comment
"Ahh, ahh. Ahh, it's over. Don't cry. Sigh... When I first came to Stardom, I suddenly left Suzu alone and caused her a lot of trouble. But even so, I was able to have a match in the same ring again, and I realized how truly happy I am. I'm a little sad, but this time, I was able to properly say, I'll see you again, and finish my last match as a member of this ring, and I'm just really grateful. Thank you. Sigh, I'm not crying. It's not snot. Sweat? It's sweat, sweat. Today is my last day as a member, but there's still Korakuen Hall on April12th. And hey, this isn't the end. Hey, Suzu, and everyone at Stardom, Maika too, and Shuri too. Everyone, everyone, this is just the beginning, you idiots! Arrivederci, see you again."

I was born in Stardom and grew up in Stardom, and I've been so worn out, but I feel so happy right now. I had matches in Stardom and there were all of you who supported me, and thanks to you I was able to do my best in Stardom, thank you very much. There are so many things I want to say to everyone in QQ, but just one thing. You all in QQ were my support and my everything. Thank you so much."

We who remain will protect QQ together and make it an even better unit, so please watch over us. Everyone, please give us your support. Believe in the present and shine in the future, decide for yourself who you believe in, Bow down to the queens!"

Right now! I want her to come back... But it's the path Utami has chosen, and we all believe in it and are supporting her, and as those of us who are left behind, I think we've gained an even greater sense of responsibility to make QQ, which we've all built together up until now, even better. So we're going to make it the best unit ever, the best unit ever, a unit that will make everyone jealous that Utami has left. So please, everyone, keep your eyes on us and follow us."
AZM: "Thank you very much."
Comment from Utami
"Today marks the end of my matches as a Stardom wrestler and as QQ. I was born and raised in Stardom, and I truly believe that the reason I can now enjoy pro wrestling so happily is all thanks to everyone in Stardom and everyone who supports me. Thank you. QQ was my support and everything to me. Mitsuyoshi, I know it's incredibly tough carrying the weight of being a supernova, but I know you can do it. I'm no longer worried about you, so just do your best and be yourself. Lady, I know you have a lot of doubts, but first think about what you need to do, and since you're still evolving, I want you to work the hardest. I'm cheering for you. Hinami, you always look out for everyone with a mature attitude that belies your age, and I've always respected you as a bundle of kindness. You're still growing, and there's only the future ahead of you." I'm really looking forward to seeing Hinami-san. Kamitani was always by my side, both as a partner and in my private life, and I think she was the wrestler I had the deepest relationship with, as we talked about so many things. Wherever she is, even if she's not by my side, I'll always be watching over her. AZM-san is the senior member of QQ with the longest tenure. She always listened to my problems, reached out to me whenever I was in trouble, and even though she's younger than me, I really relied on her. Thank you. I'm sad to see you go, but I know everyone will be fine, and I have to do my best too. Thanks to Stardom as QQ and all of you who supported us, I've been able to grow this much. Thank you. I love you all very much. Let's all do our best from now on. Thank you."
