HANAKO: "I'm wearing the belt from the NEW BLOOD tag team with Tsukiyama, who is currently absent, but I have a belt I'm aiming for with Maika. I'll definitely be wrapping the belt with Maika, so please look forward to it! I'll have a toast as it's been a while since I last played HighMate. Now, let's go and have a highMate with everyone in Yamaguchi!"
