Iida hits Kurei with a vertical drop brainbuster that stays in the air for a long time. The referee counts to three, and Iida defeats Kurei.
Iida: "It's been a while since we've been to Niigata (Sanjo City), and STARS have won! How was it, everyone? Was it exciting? Right now, STARS are burning with passion. That's because the other day at Korakuen Hall, the three of us (Hana, Iida, and Kogo) challenged for the Artist title. We declared our challenge. Well, we were trashed back then, but I think we shouldn't worry about it. It's okay to cry, it's okay to stumble. As long as we don't stop, that's all that matters. So let's keep going, get results, and face HATE, and get that Artist belt! We'll definitely get it, and come back to Niigata (Sanjo City) to see us with the belts. So, we'll wrap things up with the rising stars, STARS. Bee-chan will surely, surely, probably." Bee: "Yeah, yeah.
"
Iida: "It's really tough, but for now, let's call it STARS, and we'll wrap things up with these five today. Towards tomorrow...! (That's wing☆gori). Truly sorry. Believe in the present and shine tomorrow, We are STARS!
Iida: "Niigata. It's been a while, maybe two years? It's been a while since we've been to Niigata (Sanjo City). STARS won the main event. We've declared our challenge for the Artist title, and it's not decided yet, but let's get good results here, improve our teamwork, and make sure we challenge and win the belt.
" Kogo: "I got pretty trashed at Korakuen Hall, but it's really fired me up, so I want us all to keep improving together
Hanan: "There's meaning in the three of us challenging together. The three of us will go for the Artist belt and come back here as champions. What about Bea? Is Bea with STARS? STARS?"
Bea: "If that's what you want, then OK. I love STARS. Korakuen STARS, let's warm up together, let's warm up together today too.
" Kogo: "I'm looking forward to seeing STARS and Bea."
Bea: "You will soon become the Artist champions."
All: "We are STARS!"
