Nakano: "Neo Genesis, you won the unit tournament, so I know how much momentum you have. You're the most powerful unit right now. But you won't beat us, the top-tier Cozuen. Let's have the Artist of Stardom Championship match on February 2nd at Korakuen Hall ♡"
Kid: "Of course, it makes sense to do it sooner rather than later! The top-tier trio? Hahaha. Neo Genesis, I will take all the brilliance from Saori, Natsupoi, and Nakano Tam. You'll have nothing left. Everyone, please come and see us at Korakuen Hall!" Nakano:
"Me, me, me. As long as you keep saying that, you'll never be able to take this Artist of Stardom belt."
Kid: "Say whatever you want."
