"My fifth match in 5★STAR was against Sayaka Kurei. After a big win in the opening match, I suffered three consecutive losses. But I thought I couldn't lose anymore, and then in my fifth match, I faced Cinderella Sayaka Kurei. Wow, she was incredible. Every dropkick and elbow was really heavy, and her sleeper hold was so painful. That sleeper hold really threw off my rhythm. It was so painful. But I absolutely didn't want to tap out, and I managed to get Kurei to tap out at the very last moment. But I'm a little frustrated. I won, but I'm still frustrated. Next up is Natsuko Tora. Another formidable opponent. But I can't lose anymore. Seriously, I can't lose. I've beaten Natsuko, and I've beaten Rian, and the points are just barely... maybe just barely, but I haven't given up on winning the championship. And I'll stand opposite Kid again. It's tough... I won't lose anymore. Thank you very much. One-hit kill Tomoka kick, Ossu!"
"Tomoka Inaba... I was subjected to an incredible leg attack for the second time in 5★STAR, and I had to tap out today, which is incredibly humiliating. At the end, Tomoka said that the sleeper hold worked, and that really pissed me off. Since becoming Cinderella, I haven't achieved anything significant, and I'm feeling very frustrated and annoyed, but I haven't been able to process this 5★STAR at all, and I don't really know what to do with these feelings... Next, I'll beat AZM in Hamamatsu, my favorite city, and although it might be difficult to go to the finals, I want to fight straight to the end."
