STARS' team of Hanan, Iida Saya, and Kogo Momo clashed with H.A.T.E.'s team of Tora Natsuko, Konami, and Rina in a six-person tag team match. The Hanan team can be considered the original members of the new STARS team and have declared their challenge for the Artist of Stardom Championship. As the current champions are Konami, Rina, and Fukigen Desu★, this match against Konami and Rina has the significance of a preliminary bout.

Rinami: "Hey, hey STARS! It's too late if you're only getting fired up after I trashed you on the mic, you idiots! I'm the champion of this belt, so I've decided the date for the next title defense myself. The next first title defense will be on September 23rd in Osaka! It's close by so you guys can come and watch. Come and see, you guys. I'm going to show you the reality that your strong bond is no match for the current H.A.T.E., so look forward to it.
" Konami: "Hey, hey, what the champion says is law, so I'm looking forward to beating you guys to a pulp on September 23rd in Osaka. But make sure you don't collapse before then. I wonder if STARS can even work together properly right now? STARS, it's the end for you guys!"
