The signing ceremony for "STARDOM in KORAKUEN 2026 Jun.", to be held on June 14th (Sun) at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, and "STARDOM THE CONVERSION 2026", to be held on June 20th (Sat) at the National Yoyogi Gymnasium No. 2 in Tokyo, took place on the 9th at Bushiroad headquarters
At the beginning of the press conference, President Taro Okada explained the overseas dispatch of the wrestlers. Saya Kamitani and Rina will depart for the United States on June 11th. Kamitani will return to Japan and compete in the June 20th Yoyogi tournament, but Rina will continue to compete in Mexico and will be participating in overseas tournaments for some time
Additionally, four wrestlers—Shuri, Ranna Yagami, Hazuki, and Fuwa-chan—will be heading overseas for tours in July and August. As a result, these four wrestlers will not be participating in the "5★STAR GP" (which begins on July 18th in Ota Ward). President Okada stated, "We are increasing our exchanges with overseas organizations. In order to deliver Stardom's professional wrestling to the world, we will continue these activities not only in Japan but also throughout this year."
At the June 20 Yoyogi event, in the Wonder of Stardom Championship match, champion Hanan will be challenged by fellow STARS member Iida Saya. Hanan said, "This will be my third singles match against Iida-chan in four years. It will be our first title match. When I originally won this belt, I knew I absolutely wanted to challenge Iida-chan. The reason why it's happening now is because STARS currently has some members out due to injuries, and we're down to just two members. As we were thinking about how to present STARS going forward, I thought that if we, who usually team up as wing★gori, had a match, we could show what STARS is all about even more."
Iida, on the other hand, said, "I was happy that Hanan-san was able to take the white belt from Konami, something I couldn't do. I was happy, but it's not 100%. I still wanted to take it myself, so there was some lingering regret." She then added, "Hanan-san accomplished what I couldn't, and at that point she called herself the leader of STARS, but let me say this now: Show me what it takes to be the leader of STARS." The two then pledged to do their best
Also, at the June 14 Korakuen Hall event, Future of Stardom Champion Ranna Yagami will be challenged by Miku Kano of T-HEARTS. This match will be realized through a challenge from the champion, and it will be Kano's first solo appearance in Stardom in a long time. She declared war, saying, "I have fought against many legends and senior wrestlers who are active on the front lines. I am no longer the Miku Kano of the past. Now I have the confidence to take the belt and a strong will to become champion. I will go all out to take that belt so that Yagami will regret challenging me, so be prepared."
In response, Yagami said with a glint in her eyes, "If Miku were still the same as she was back then, she would only serve as a stepping stone for my ambitions. But I think Miku has changed since that day, having overcome many hardships, and I also feel that I have grown a lot since wearing this belt. I believe that I will be able to have a match against a passionate and fierce Miku at Korakuen Hall, and I am looking forward to it."
