On Sunday, October 25th, the following members from Stardom appeared at the "Bushiroad Fashion Journey" event, hosted by Bushiroad and held at Hikarie Hall in Shibuya Hikarie, Tokyo: Shuri, Hanan, Maika, Saya Kamitani, Aya Sakura, Sayaka Kurei, Fuwa-chan, Maki Ito, Kian Furusawa, and Rian
Kamiya was the first to appear at the opening. She wore a black dress with multiple layers of ruffles and a bold volume, paired with a large headdress, creating a gothic-inspired look. She walked the runway with grace and exuded a powerful presence
The Ito Respect Group, consisting of Maki Ito, Kian Furusawa, and Rian, took to the stage in dresses adorned with floral patterns, frills, and flower decorations. Dressed in outfits of different colors—black and red, red and white, and light pink—they passionately sang their unit theme song, "Setsunairo."
Kurei and Sakura engaged in a fashion showdown in colorful outfits. Kurei wore a long-haired jacket combining green, blue, and orange, paired with a mini-skirt featuring different check patterns. She completed the look with blue and black leg warmers, showcasing a pop style. Sakura, on the other hand, wore a sporty, short-length jacket with a pink base and a checkered mini-skirt. She added an accent to her feet with legwear featuring bold cutouts and pink fur
For this match, Jimbo Bonji, who is in charge of English commentary for Stardom, served as the MC, providing live commentary on the two wrestlers' performance. Together with Fuwa-chan, who acted as the referee, he greatly enlivened the venue
Kamiya commented, "Normally, I find my value in fighting, but it was refreshing and fun to express myself through walking like this. It was also a strange experience to let people see me when I'm not fighting."
She added, "Oh, and this is a last-minute request, but when my hair is styled this gorgeously, it really makes me look good on stage. Can I have my hair and makeup done by you again for next year's Yokohama Arena show? Mr. Okada (Taro), I'm counting on you. I also want to have the outfit I wore today made into a gown, so I'd like you to buy it from me and wear it at next year's Yokohama Arena show." She also made requests for next year
Even on a glamorous stage quite different from the ring, the Stardom wrestlers showcased their individual talents and left a tremendous impact
