Thoughts: It was a longer one. It was just average. We saw almost none of Mayu here. Matoi was in this for the most of it and she's not the fastest or the most fiery worker. Hina's not exactly much better off either.

Thoughts: Kid worked Yuna's leg early on. Yuna got out for a while, Kid then started working the leg again and tapped her out with it. It was a little unusual but Kid's tag matches are usually like this. Kid and Poi got a ton of time here on their own which likely was to set up a match between the two. This went a little longer than it needed to but was okay.

Kid and Poi stare down on the apron after.

Thoughts: It was the only match on here with heels and faces. It was pretty average for the most part. It didn't really get enough time for all of the people involves and it was far from anyone's best work. Konami probably didn't even spend a minute total in the ring.

Tor and Maika fight outside after. Hana and Waka have words for Rina after and Hana seems to want a title match.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual standard Stardom house show. Everything was fast paced. Everyone came in and got out of the ring as they pleased. There weren't a lot of faces and heels. Everything was a tag and there weren't a lot of differences from one match to the next. Everything on here was pretty average and I wouldn't recommend this one. I'd give it a 5 out of 10.
