Aikawa: "Starlight Kid, Natsupoi, we won! Thank you for being the best and strongest tag team. Hey, Yuria! That was close! You legends did a great job. All three of us have worn the Stardom white belt. We're strong, aren't we? See you all again somewhere. Thank you!"
Comments from Aikawa Team: Aikawa: "Everyone, thank you for the 15th anniversary, Stardom, Aikawa Yuzuki's limited return, and tag team match. I was able to win thanks to the great help from Starlight Kid and Natsupoi." Kid: "Amazing. Thank you." Natsupoi: "I 'm happy." Kid: "You're on fire." Aikawa: "But I took a lot of damage, and I think I was really helped by the two of them, but it was fun. I'm glad I was able to work with such great wrestlers." Kid: "Since I was tag team with Yuzupon today, I made an overmask in the Yuzupon model. It has 'Yuzu' on it." Natsupoi: "It's so cute. You're right." Aikawa: " Nostalgic." Kid: "And Koko-chan likes Hello Kitty. Her kicks are really sharp and she has incredible fighting spirit, you can't tell she's been away for so long." Aikawa: "When I came out, everyone was saying 'legend, legend.' The legend that everyone has in mind is..." I don't think so. I broke through that, and at first, because it had been a long time since I'd practiced in the ring, I was embarrassed to even raise my voice. But I received guidance from various wrestlers and practiced with them. Starlight Kid and Natsupoi are of course like that, but it was also the wrestlers who protected me when I had no one to back me up with. I was really helped by the Stardom wrestlers. I don't think there are any legends like them. I think Stardom can create something new, so for the 15th anniversary, the legends are also in a new form. I think I was able to show what Aikawa Yuzuki's form is. I gave it my all." Natsupoi: "You're... really beautiful." Aikawa: "No, no." Kid: "Beautiful and strong. " Natsupoi: "I was just admiring your profile." Aikawa: "I want Natsupoi to work even harder, and Kid has everything, all that's left is timing. I really want Kid to wear the red belt and stand at the top of Stardom." 」 English: I've always wanted to see a dam, so I hope it comes true soon. Natsupoi, do you have a belt yet?」 Natsupoi: "I don't have one right now." Aikawa: "She's one of the wrestlers I want to see succeed with ambition." Natsupoi: "I'll do my best!" Kid: "Thank you for the kind words!" Natsupoi: "I'm happy. Thank you." Aikawa: "I was so happy to be able to team up with the two of you." Kid: "But seeing how strong Yuzupon is makes me want to fight her next." Natsupoi: "I mean, even though she's been away for a while, I was really inspired watching her and seeing that she truly has the heart of a pro wrestler." Kid: "I thought to myself, 'As expected of the first Wonder of Stardom Champion,' when I saw her up close." Aikawa: "I was really pulled along by the two of them. I really learned a lot from various wrestlers. So thank you." Kid: "Well then, I'm looking forward to the next one!" Natsupoi: "I'll be waiting!" Aikawa: "Next, huh? It's really all up in the air after this. I've only signed up for two more matches. It's really all up in the air, but one thing I can say is that I've been helped so much by the Stardom wrestlers that I'm in the ring today, so I won't be appearing anywhere other than Stardom. Let me be clear about that. It was the Stardom wrestlers who helped me. I want to be in the ring with a purpose, so I won't be appearing anywhere other than Stardom, basically. That's what I realized after fighting today." Kid: "There might be a chance to fight." Aikawa: "But I don't know if there will be or not. It's all up in the air." Kid: "That's true. We don't know what the future holds." Aikawa: "It's the 15th anniversary, after all ." Kid: "Thank you so much for appearing in this memorable event. Congratulations to Stardom on their 15th anniversary." Natsupoi: "Congratulations. Until we meet again, bye-poi!" Kid: "What do you mean by bye-poi?" Natsupoi and Kid leave the stage. Aikawa: "Fighting against Yuria, I realized that there are very few opponents who can withstand my kicks without losing heart, so I thought that was truly amazing. I've been doing the same Yuzupon style since I was active, but with most opponents, the referee would stop the match, or they would just lose heart. But she didn't give up and kept that incredible look in her eyes the whole time. I thought she was an amazing opponent."
Comments from Sakura-gumi
: Yuria: "First of all, thank you Aikawa-san for choosing me. But today has become the most frustrating day of my life. I don't think it's possible for an active wrestler like me to lose, and today I was thinking that I would surpass Aikawa-san and become a new gravure idol wrestler. But today I lost with the same move (as in the year-end battle royal). I've never lost in spirit, but my body lost today, and I'm really frustrated with myself, and I'm also really frustrated that I lost to Aikawa-san. I said it would be a limited comeback, but I absolutely don't want it to end with me having lost. Next time, please let me fight you in a singles match. When that happens, I'll break Aikawa-san's heart into pieces and tear it to shreds, and I'll declare myself the new gravure idol wrestler, so please consider it.
" Sakura: "Aikawa Yuzuki! Boobs boobs boobs, just because your boobs are a little big, aren't you being a bit too bossy?" "You can really stop talking down to me. Before the match you said not to underestimate active wrestlers, but Aikawa's kicks were not at all like those of a retired wrestler. That really annoys me. But I don't want Stardom to become a ring where retired wrestlers can easily say they want to come back, so from now on we will work hard as active wrestlers so that Aikawa will think that maybe I don't need to come back anymore."
Kurei: "I think legendary wrestler Aikawa is a great contributor and I think she's amazing and I think she has big boobs, but she is a wrestler with a future ahead of her. It is the active wrestlers who will come from now on Losing here, and seeing people say things like, "Wow, the legend was amazing," is really frustrating."
Sakura: "Frustrating."
Kurei: "We, who are fighting with our lives on the line in the ring right now, want to get stronger and more successful, and like Sakura said, we want the current wrestlers to shine even brighter and make things more exciting, to the point where it's okay if we don't appear anymore, or there's no room for us to appear anymore. We, as champions, also want to keep the excitement going, and we are wrestlers of the future."
Sakura: "And out of the three of us, I will be the first to wear the white cap."
Kurei: "I'll be...the first to wear it."
Yuria: "Yuria will wear it."
