A press conference for the midsummer festival "Summy presents STARDOM 5★STAR GP 2026" (opening on July 18th in Ota Ward) was held on July 12th (Sunday) at United Cinemas Toyosu in Tokyo, where the eight wrestlers entered in BLUE STARS-B each spoke about their determination
Hanan (5th consecutive year, 5th time overall)
(Appearing on stage with the Wonder of Stardom Championship) Hello everyone! I'm Hanan, the 26th Wonder of Stardom Champion. First of all, this year I won the Cinderella Tournament. And I also conquered the 5★STAR GP, my second singles league tournament of the year, so this year I want to become Hanan who conquers singles! Also, there are three former champions of this white belt in this block, so I want to prove that I, the current champion, am the strongest
Yuna Mizumori (3rd time in 3 consecutive years)
I am the 28th High Speed... Aaaah!! (Falls over) Yes! I have just received a divine oracle!
I, Mizumori Yuna, will become a true Supergirl this summer! My first opponent is Momo Watanabe. You don't have any plans after this, right? Supergirl is currently showing in theaters here. If you'd like, why don't you come see Supergirl with me?
Watanabe: "Impossible."
Kamiya: "Bleh"
Koguma: "I'd love to, but I have plans."
Kid: "Sorry. Go by yourself."
Magnificent: "I'm going to see Toy Story."
Hanan: "Huh? I want to go."
Furusawa: "I'm sorry, but I have dance practice."
Ami Sorei (4th appearance, 2nd consecutive year)
Looking at my block in this 5★STAR tournament, I realize it's quite similar to the members I faced when I was on extended leave. I see this as a chance for revenge, and also a chance for 5★STAR to be my chance. Last year, I lost to the eventual winner, Momo Watanabe, and was eliminated from the tournament, so this year I'm aiming for more than just a tournament win, and I'll cherish each and every 5★STAR match. It's really, really rare to have a singles match in Stardom right now, so I'll fight hard in this singles match and use it to win the singles belt. I want this summer to be Ami's summer. I'll do my best!
Starlight Kid (7th consecutive year, 7th time overall)
This year's 5★STAR GP will be a challenge with a clear goal in mind, a goal that lies beyond winning. I want to stand at the center of Stardom. That's why, in this 5★STAR GP filled with formidable opponents, I absolutely want to shine the brightest. The ambitious White Tiger will finally achieve it this year! My first 5★STAR victory! I'm going for it!
Koguma (5th appearance in 2 years)
I'm so happy to hear so many "bear" calls today. I think this will be our first 5★STAR in a while, maybe two years? A lot of the people in this group don't do the bear thing. There are a lot of people who don't do the bear thing, but we'll aim for the bear thing while also aiming to win, so please look forward to seeing our scary little bear
Momoko Watanabe (9th consecutive year, 10th appearance)
I have two goals. First, to become the first person in history to win two consecutive championships. I'm the only one who can do that, so I'm going to win two consecutive championships. And second, to beat Saya Kamitani. You said that I'm someone who has never even held the red belt, but you've never won the 5★STAR championship either, have you? If you're going to talk, then go win the 5★STAR championship yourself
Saya Kamitani (7th consecutive appearance)
It's been three months since I lost Saya-sama's red belt. I wonder how much it costs to rent the red belt now? This will be my seventh time in the 5★STAR GP, and this year I'm definitely going to win and get the red belt back for Saya-sama. And Watanabe Momo. Two consecutive wins? Don't make me laugh. Make sure you don't lose to Saya-sama and become the laughingstock of everyone here. Opening match, Starlight Kid. I never thought we'd have a rematch so soon, but I was the one who said I wanted to do it again. Kid, I'm looking forward to it
Kian Furusawa (first appearance)
I've made it here by winning two qualifying rounds. I may be the biggest "newcomer," but I'm confident I can compete in the 5★STAR GP. Your support would be greatly appreciated
