Hanan, the Wonder of Stardom champion, is on a straight path to conquering both spring and summer. On July 19th (Sunday), she faced Furusawa Kian in a Blue Stars B official match at the "Sammy presents STARDOM 5★STAR GP 2026" held at the Loisir Hotel Toyohashi Holiday Hall in Aichi. She struggled with an ankle lock on her left leg and was pushed to the brink of defeat
Despite this setback, he persevered with sheer determination, retaliating with a thrust kick and a guillotine choke. He then stopped his opponent's movement with a neckbreaker and finally secured the three-count with a blockbuster hold
"I used to think that Kian's best match was her debut against me, but after fighting her today, she poured even more passion into her performance than back then, and I thought, 'Yeah, she really is the opponent I had my debut match against,'" she reflected
Following her victory in the spring's "Cinderella Tournament," Hanan, who has another chance to win an award, promised, "As the Wonder of Stardom champion, I will win the 5★STAR tournament and conquer both spring and summer, so please look forward to it."
In another Blue Stars B match, Koguma faced Sorei Ami. Despite struggling against Sorei's fierce attacks, who had lost the Artist Championship the previous day, Koguma managed to reverse the position immediately after being hit by Sorei's Fire Thunder and secured a come-from-behind victory with a 120% Schoolboy
Having defeated Furusawa the previous day, Koguma has now won two matches in a row to start the tournament. After the match, she said, "Personally, I think that Sorei Ami is just as strong as Shuri, and that anything is possible. I think that no matter what you do, she probably won't fall down or crumble. That's why today I used various tactics to snatch the win. I thought she might be down after losing to Artist the day before, but it seems that's not the case, and she's as rebellious as ever towards Kuma. But I also remember defeating Shuri in a singles match. Today I defeated God's Eye and Sorei Ami for 2 points. Tomorrow is Hanan. I'll do my best."
