Maika, who returned from her tour of Mexico, celebrated her homecoming match with a victory. She joined the series from that day onwards, teaming with Maki Ito and Utami Hayashishita in a six-person tag team match against Hazuki, Koguma, and Fuwa-chan. Ito, Hazuki, and Koguma, all from Fukuoka, were gathered together
As Ito and Koguma engage in a "cute vs. bear" debate, Maika attacks Fuwa-chan with a devastating impaling lariat and shoulder tackle
However, Hazuki's team, who are aiming for the next challenge for the Artist of Stardom Championship (currently held by Thekla, Julia Hart, and Sky Blue), are not giving up. They fought back by delivering a triple face wash
Maika fell victim to the enemy's aerial attacks, but with assistance from Ito and Utami, she launched a sliding lariat at Fuwa-chan. Furthermore, even when Fuwa-chan landed a brainbuster with a long hang time thanks to a combination of FWC's moves, Maika refused to give Fuwa-chan a decisive opportunity
He retaliated with a brainbuster, followed by a rolling lariat. Finally, he finished off Fuwa-chan with a Michinoku Driver II
After the match, Maika grabbed the microphone and greeted the audience, saying, "Hello everyone in Fukuoka!" Ito then added, "This is our second Fukuoka event this year, and once again, it's sold out, so thank you very much. I've heard that there were quite a few people who couldn't get tickets, so next time, I'd like to go to 'that place.' I'm sure we'll be able to go."
Hazuki then said, "Welcome back, Fukuoka! The Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks (professional baseball team) have won the league championship. Congratulations to the Hawks! Next time we perform, I'd like to do it at 'that venue.' I think that will depend not only on our efforts but also on the efforts of the audience, so please be well-prepared."
Then Koguma added, "Then me too. Fukuoka, I'm back! I'll do my best so that we can perform at 'that venue,' so I hope the audience will do their best as well."
Furthermore, Shimi, who hails from Amami City in Kagoshima Prefecture, stated her goal: "I've returned to Kyushu! I thought it was great to have a homecoming, so I thought I'd like to have a homecoming in Kagoshima too. If I could be greedy, I'd like to do it on Amami Oshima."
Fuwa-chan, who is from Tokyo, also gave a greeting, and the tournament concluded with a toast led by Maika
[A conversation between Maika, Maki Ito, and Utami Hayashishita]
Maika : Yes. With the Fukuoka tournament coming up, I was like, "I'm definitely going to go back on that day." But then the flights got cancelled...it was tough. Ito: There was a typhoon coming, right ? Maika: That was close. But being able to team up with Ito-chan from Fukuoka and Utami from Kagoshima, I realized that homecoming is really great. Ito: It was warm, somehow. Maika : When's the next one? Maybe during Golden Week? Ito : Golden Week, I want to do it there! Maika : We all have the same goal in mind. Yes. Let's do our best!舞華
[A story about Hazuki, Koguma, and Fuwa-chan]
Hazuki 's second time in Fukuoka this year. Well, it was sold out again, so there are some people who couldn't get tickets. We would like to perform at that venue next time, so we will do our best, but we also ask the audience to do their best. Okay?
