The Artist of Stardom Championship (currently held by Ami Sorei, Hinami, and Lady C) scene is buzzing with excitement. At "STARDOM in SENDAI 2026 Jun." held at Sendai PIT in Miyagi on Saturday, June 6th, Natsupoi, Yuna Mizumori, and Sakura Aya of COSMIC ANGELS (COSMIC ANGELS) faced off against Syuri, Lady C, and Ranna Yagami of God's Eye in a six-person tag team match
With excellent teamwork, they landed a simultaneous dropkick on Yagami, gaining the upper hand. There was a moment when Shuri's kick sent all three writhing in pain, but they also unleashed a combined move on Lady. Finally, after Natsupoi's thrust kick, Mizumori launched Kumamoto's Unsinkable Battleship at Lady. With this perfect assist, Sakura used Sakuracchi to get the three count on Lady
Sakura confidently declared, "We are Cosmic Carnival. Winning means that we are the next artists to challenge, right?"
Lady responded, "That's right. Cosmic Carnival? With our teamwork this good, we can't <i>not</i> do it," and shook hands
Then, the Ito Respect Army, consisting of Maki Ito, Kian Furusawa, and Rian, made their appearance. This was because they had just declared their challenge for the title in the match two rounds prior, and had been accepted by the champion, Hina
Ito protested vehemently, saying, "We said we'd go first, but you guys are next." He then began a skirmish with Kozuen
Judging that the situation was getting out of control, Ito suggested, "Okay! So how about this? You fight first, and the winner will have a title match against us, the Ito Respect Army, at the big event in Yoyogi on June 20th?" The venue was filled with murmurs of excitement
It's a mystery why Ito, who isn't the champion, is in charge, and yet he's cleverly maneuvering things so that the Ito Respect Army can stand on the stage for a title match in a big event. This kind of shrewdness is truly impressive
Sakura agreed to Ito's demands, saying, "Okay, I get it. I want to get it done quickly. How about we, Cosmic Carnival, face off against you at Korakuen Hall on June 14th? We'll become champions and take you on."
Seeing how the conversation was progressing without regard for the champion, Sorei finally called out, "Hold on a minute!"
"We, Dream Trine, are the champions!" he emphasized, before accepting the demands of both teams
In summary, at the Korakuen Hall event on June 14th, the reigning champions, Sorei, Hinami, and Lady, will clash with Natsupoi, Mizumori, and Sakura for the title. The winner of this match will face a challenge from Ito, Furusawa, and Rian at the Yoyogi event on June 20th
Sorei declared, "The artists are really getting hyped up. Dream Trine will defend their title on June 14th, and then we'll take on the Ito Respect Army at Yoyogi on June 20th."
Finally, Sakura took the lead and concluded with, "Our carnival is not over. It's carnival!"
