STARS' Hanan and Cosmic Angels' Sakura Aya face off in a one-on-one match. For Sakura, who hails from Kobe, this is a homecoming match. She has been given opportunities such as challenging for the Sendai Girls' Junior Championship, the Artist of Stardom Championship, and the UWF rules, but the reality is that she has not been able to achieve results. Most recently, she was pinned by Diana's Nanami at NB18 on February 5th. Hanan, the former Future of Stardom Champion and current Goddess of Stardom Champion, is a formidable opponent, but Sakura is hoping to find a way to break through.

Hanan: "Sakura, first of all, congratulations on your homecoming! Homecoming is really fun, isn't it? I know, me too. It's even more fun when you win on your homecoming. But I won't let any of the younger
wrestlers surpass me. They're doing great in other organizations, and I'm jealous of them. But the next generation race is still Hanan's!" Sakura: "I couldn't win my third homecoming match. But I'm determined to become the next generation ace of Stardom, no, the next generation ace of the women's professional wrestling world! I will become the next generation ace of the women's professional wrestling world and liven up the young wrestlers and Stardom! Hanan, thank you for being my opponent in my homecoming match today! I will definitely, definitely get results and bring the belt back to Kobe, so please support me!"
