Konami, who missed the previous tournament due to poor health, returns. Neo Genesis' Artist of Stardom champions, Starlight Kid, AZM, and Amasaki Mitsuyoshi, will face off against H.A.T.E.'s Tora Natsuko, Konami, and Ryuuka in a six-person tag match. Despite a disqualification loss to Konami, Ryuuka, and Rina on May 1 in Takamatsu, the trio announced their challenge for the Artist Championship. This time, Konami and Ryuuka will be joined by their leader, Natsuko, and they will likely put pressure on the champions once again.
H.A.T.E. enters the ring with the Artist belts they stole from Neo Genesis. The champions try to take them back, but H.A.T.E. sends them out of the ring and attacks, overwhelming Neo Genesis. The belt is placed on the headquarters seat, but Rina retrieves it and returns it to her team's corner. Konami brings Amasaki back and pins her to the ropes, and all of H.A.T.E. go on the attack. Konami kicks Amasaki with a soccer ball and covers with one leg. When Amasaki returns, Konami hits a surfboard stretch. Amasaki escapes, but Natsuko stomps on her leg. Konami follows and tags in Natsuko. Natsuko lifts Amasaki up and delivers a series of body slams. Amasaki hits a series of elbows, and Natsuko takes them and sends her flying with a shoulder tackle. Amasaki hits a DDT and hands the job to Kid. Kid hits a diving body attack on Natsuko. They dodge Konami and Ryuka and do a combined corbata, with AZM assisting to separate them. Kid dodges Natsuko and hits a dropkick and a standing moonsault press. Natsuko catches the body attack and hits a senton. Ryuka hits Kid with a spear lariat and a shoulder tackle. When Kid returns, Ryuuka attacks with a chokehold. Kid shouts, "Don't mess with me!" and hits Ryuuka with a corbata. AZM hits Ryuuka with a penalty kick and a dropkick. When Ryuuka returns, he threatens to throw her. However, Ryuuka holds back and they begin exchanging elbows. Ryuuka feints and hits an elbow. However, AZM dodges the thrust attack and attacks with Neo Gene. H.A.T.E. dodges it and hits another thrust attack. When AZM returns, Ryuuka takes a fisherman's stance. AZM counters with a high kick. Ryuuka stops her dash and slams her down with a fisherman's. Amasaki blocks Natsuko and Ryuuka's combination with a DDT, and Kid goes flying out of the ring with a plancha. Ryuuka is brought back, and Neo Gene performs a series of thrust dropkicks. AZM hits Ryuuka with a diving foot stamp. However, Ryuka's shoulders rose and 10 minutes passed. Ryuka blocked AZM's Corbata and slammed her into the corner. AZM dodged Ryuka and applied a shrimp hold. Konami then delivered a high kick, and Ryuka hit her with the belt. AZM dodged it, but Natsuko separated Neo Gene. Natsuko stood AZM up and, together with Ryuka, chokeslammed her onto the belt. Ryuka hit a lariat from behind and put AZM in the corner, preparing for a powerbomb. AZM countered and got the three count with Azumi Sushi. After the match, HATE attacked Neo Gene as they were declared the winners.
Ryuuka: "Don't think you've won just because you persuaded Azumi Sushi like that!"
Kid: "What's up with you guys? Stop messing around! AZM has STRONG (women's challenge) next, and I have Wonder (defense match) against HANAKO, so I can't put up with something like that! I'll definitely take it back. First of all, I'll definitely take it back! So President, please arrange another match with H.A.T.E., I'm begging you!"
