The singles match between Tam Nakano and Misa Kamiki, which had been canceled once, finally took place. The two were once idols together, but a big gap has opened up between them since they became professional wrestlers. Kamiki finally got a chance to fight Nakano in a singles match, but due to her own absence, the one-on-one match at her home ring, JTO, was canceled. It was changed to take place in the Stardom ring, where she had requested the match.
The match started without them shaking hands. Nakano called her to the center, and as they looked at each other, Kamiki delivered an elbow, which Nakano accepted. Kamiki delivered a series of blows and grabbed her hair. Nakano threw her into the ropes and Kamiki delivered a shoulder tackle. Nakano countered with a neckbreaker, stomps, and a series of soccer ball kicks. Nakano drove her into the corner, stomped on her face, delivered a running elbow, kicks from the front and back, and a heel drop. Kamiki kicked out, and Nakano delivered a body slam and a reverse figure-four leglock. Kamiki managed to escape. Nakano unleashed a barrage of slaps, saying, "I thought you were going to cancel at the last minute again today." Shinkiraku responded with an elbow, saying, "Don't underestimate me," to which Nakano immediately retaliated with an elbow followed by a dropkick. Shinkiraku countered with a shoulder tackle. He then delivered three more shoulder tackles and went for the cover. When Nakano kicked out, Shinkiraku delivered an elbow drop and a senton. Shinkiraku mustered his strength and attempted a lariat, but Nakano dodged it and took his back. As Shinkiraku held on, Nakano landed an elbow, which Shinkiraku countered, allowing Nakano to stand up. Nakano knocked Shinkiraku down with an elbow and taunted him, saying, "Get up." Shinkiraku landed an elbow on the defiant Nakano. After an exchange of elbows, Shinkiraku landed another barrage, which Nakano absorbed and stood up, then countered with a blow. Shinkiraku stopped Nakano's charge and slammed him to the mat, then countered with a lariat. Both were down, but Shinkiraku was the first to get up and charge. Nakano sticks out her leg and puts Shinkiraku in a hanging dragon sleeper in the corner. Shinkiraku falls to the outside, and Nakano jumps up with a plancha. Nakano helps Shinkiraku up and takes an elbow to get back on her feet. Nakano prepares for a brainbuster, but Shinkiraku slams her down instead. Shinkiraku is the first to return to the ring and hits Nakano with a spear in the corner, followed by a diving senton from the corner. Ten minutes have passed. Nakano kicks out, and Shinkiraku announces the end and delivers a Hare Tokidoki Misa (diving senton) from the corner. Nakano dodges and delivers a Violet Shooting, getting behind Shinkiraku. Shinkiraku counters, but Nakano hits a spin kick followed by a German suplex. Shinkiraku kicks out, dodges Nakano's Violet Shooting and delivers a hip drop, followed by a lariat and another lariat from behind. However, Nakano manages to kick out. Shinkiraku delivers another Hare Tokidoki Misa from the corner. When Nakano retaliated, Shinkira delivered a series of elbows to the downed Nakano, then pulled her up and slapped her, charging forward saying "It's over," but getting hit with a thrust kick. When Shinkira didn't fall, Nakano hit her again, taunting her with "Get up," "Stand up." Shinkira grabbed Nakano's hand and charged at her with elbows. Nakano hit an elbow followed by a Violet Shooting. When Shinkira countered, Nakano hit a Tiger Suplex. The referee counted to three, and Nakano won.
Nakano: "Misa, you actually came today. Did you have the match put together in a hurry because Tam is about to retire?" But don't worry. I'll definitely win on April 27th (against Saya Kamitani at Yokohama Arena) and I won't retire. So, live each moment to the fullest, experience lots of frustration, dedicate everything to pro wrestling, become stronger, and come back and offer me another match when Tam is a free agent
." Kamikiraku: "In every way, I can't compare to Tam, and I'm filled with frustration, but I'm truly grateful that Tam faced me, Kamikiraku Misa, in this moment today. Thank you very much. Tam is so amazing that I thought I was just one of those people who wouldn't even remember Tam's journey as a female pro wrestler, but she faced me so seriously, and the audience here didn't miss a single moment, so I promise myself that I will become stronger from here on out. I was worried about the possibility of Tam retiring, but I think those words came out because Tam believes in herself, everyone here, and everyone who isn't here but is watching this match. Huh? Do you understand? "It's because Tam has worked so hard, but I realized after competing against Tam that you can believe in yourself because you're supported by so many people, so I decided that I'll also believe in myself more, believe in myself and the people around me, and work even harder with more sincerity. Thank you so much for today. And from now on... sorry it's so long. Thank you." Nakano: "This is
the first time I've seen someone speak on the microphone longer than Tam. Come quickly."
