Ami Sorei's greeting
Ami Sorei, a native of Fukushima Prefecture who is currently sidelined, greeted the audience before the match while on crutches.
"Hello everyone in Fukushima! I'm back! (Welcome back!) Thank you. I was still a little nervous about getting into the ring, so I apologize for greeting you from below the ring. I'm sorry that I had to take a leave of absence and couldn't compete in my homecoming match in Fukushima. But I'll be fully recovered and back next year, and I hope to come back with a belt or something, so I know I'll keep you all waiting, but I hope you'll continue to support me. The 5★STAR GP continues from the first match onwards, so please cheer along with me! Let's all have fun together!"

When Hanan escaped, Yagami went for a hip throw. Yagami countered Hanan's dive with a kick. Hanan went for a running elbow smash followed by an armbar.

Yagami: "I got a three-count victory over Cinderella Hanan! I was able to win in front of (Sourei) Ami, and here in Fukushima! I think this one win and two points is huge, so I want to keep this momentum going and win tomorrow's tournament too!"
Hanan: "Ah, today we're in Fukushima, and I was hoping to fight Sourei Ami, but I lost. Hey Sourei, I'll be waiting for you one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten steps ahead of you, so get well soon. Thank you!"

In their previous singles match, Kid took on Amasaki to gauge her feelings. And as Kid and the others had hoped, Amasaki and AZM joined forces. This also marks the first match between stablemates since Neo Genesis started. Kid has a chance to win the championship, while Amasaki's chances of reaching the finals have already been dashed. What kind of match will this be, along with the outcome of the 5★STAR GP?
The match begins without a handshake. Kid applies a leg lock, but Amasaki reverses it into a headlock and then a neck lock.

Kid counters and there is 1 minute remaining. Kid delivers a dropkick to the face and attempts a Tiger Suplex, but Amasaki counters with a DDT and a high-angle DDT. Kid managed to counter at the last moment, and Tensaki went for the finish with Tensho. However, the bell rang, signaling the end of time.
Kid: "Wait, wait a minute. You managed a draw against me. You did it. But you're getting stronger. I feel like not being able to finish you today is practically a loss, but I'm happy as well as frustrated. I'm also proud of you, Mitsuyoshi!"
Tensaki: "I thought I got the three! It's a draw, but it's a draw that's very, very close to a win. But I'm not satisfied with just getting stronger. I'll keep growing rapidly until I can say you've gotten stronger and surpass you!"
Kid: "OK. Let's continue fighting together in Neo Genesis!"
Comment from Mitsuyoshi Amasaki
"I was in the second to last match of the 5★STAR GP? I was up against Kid, who is also from Neo Genesis, and I think I was able to show a completely different side of myself compared to when we competed in Osaka, but I'm not satisfied with just getting stronger. It was a draw that was very close to a win, but I wanted to get points. I'm not satisfied with just getting stronger. I'm going to grow even more rapidly so that people will say I've gotten stronger!"
Starlight Kid Comment
"Well, I didn't lose, but honestly, that one point was a mistake for me. Mitsuyoshi has gotten stronger. I didn't win, but... well, there's something nice about a match of luck. There's frustration, but also happiness. To draw against me means she's grown quite a bit, and I think she's gained confidence. So, Mitsuyoshi is Future, and I'm Wonder. We'll both aim for the singles belt, and together in Neo Genesis, let's push each other to the top. Fighting her after a month and a half, I'm glad I invited Mitsuyoshi to Neo Genesis. It's frustrating though! And tomorrow is the day the top 8 will be decided. I have two draws, but I've only lost once so far. There's still a good chance. Tomorrow, I'll be up against Gina, who is big, powerful, and above all, has a powerful chop. But I think I can do it now. I believe in myself, and tomorrow I will definitely score two points and advance to the top 8. But what will I do about this neck tomorrow?"

"Ah, damn it. I fought Thekla a lot back in the previous organization, but it's always like this with him. He knows better than anyone how to piss Sera off. I don't know if it was Thekla's strategy or what, but I got totally taken in and ended up like that. Is this a league match? If only it wasn't a league match. Thekla, don't think it's over, I'll fight you again."
Tekla Comment
"Yeah, it was fun with Sera Risa. I've known Sera Risa for a long time, and we've even had drinks together in the living room. So I know her well. So I know how to piss her off. So I know how to take her down. I'll do it again. One more time. I set Thekla on fire. If you don't know it's time, then it's always like this. Feel the H.A.T.E."

Akari's comment
"I won the 5★STAR GP against Gina. This victory is huge, I think. It's been about a year since I last fought Gina in Yoyogi, and this was our first match since then. I've always felt that the more I fight Gina, the more I discover new things about myself, so I was happy to be able to fight her again today. She's someone I want to face more and more in the future. But I've won the 5★STAR GP, and there's one more match tomorrow. I'll secure that victory and move on to the next stage, and in 2024, I will reign as Stardom's summer queen."
