Sayaka Kurei, the next challenger for the World of Stardom Championship, explained her true intentions to the members of COSMIC ANGELS (COSMIC ANGELS)
At the Yume Messe Miyagi event in Miyagi on the 28th, she participated in the main event 12-person tag team match. She teamed up with Hanan, Bea Priestley, Natsupoi, Saori Anno, and Sakura Aya to face HATE, consisting of Saya Kamitani, Konami, Natsuko Tora, Ruanka, Rina, and Fukigen Desu★
In the match, their own teammate Hanan was defeated by Konami's buzzer kick. After the match, the Kozuen members Kurei, Natsupoi, Anno, and Sakura appeared backstage. However, no one spoke. It was Anno who broke the heavy atmosphere
"I think this is the first time we've all been together since Yokohama Budokan. We didn't get a chance to talk properly then, but I'd like to hear how Kurei felt about the decision she made that day and what she told Kamiya, and how that led her to make that decision," he asked
For Kurei, this was her first match since the Yokohama tournament on the 15th. In that match, World Champion Kamiya had given her the homework of "What will you bet?", to which Kurei declared, "I will bet Kozuen." This was because her title challenge at the Yokohama Arena on April 26th had come as a complete surprise to her unit members
Then Kyurei, having made up her mind, began to speak. "I believe that Kozuen is the most important thing to me right now, something that is just as valuable and meaningful as the red belt, and I didn't want to lie to myself about that feeling. I truly believe that Kozuen is the thing I don't want to let go of the most, the most important thing to me, so I thought about it a lot and made my decision."
She further apologized, saying, "I'm really sorry for saying that without consulting anyone," but then declared, "I will never give up. Kozuen will not disappear, and I will not lose anything either. We will all continue to be Kozuen forever."
After hearing Kurei's passionate feelings, Natsupoi said, "I also thought about a lot of things after that. I reflected on whether Kurei found it difficult to talk to me, and whether I let her make the decision alone," but she didn't forget to emphasize, "I understand that Kurei's feelings that Kozuen is the most important thing to her. On top of that, the actual title match is one-on-one, and only Kurei will be fighting in the ring. We will support her, we will be by her side, but Kurei will be fighting alone. That's where our hopes lie. I want her to understand that and fight accordingly."
"There's no other choice but to do it," Kyurei was told with a chop, to which she replied firmly, "There's no other choice but to do it. I'll be fine. I'll be fine!" With a refreshed expression, she left the backstage area
