Thoughts: It was a little longer for an opener but it was okay. Coco is a great find for Marigold. She's young and she can do all kinds of flying stuff that no one else really does in the company. She's going to be one to watch out for. Yuuka looked good as she usually does when I get to see her. I don't understand why Seri was in a match this low on the card.

Thoughts: It was just so-so. They didn't really get a good flow going and had a lot of people with limited skill sets doing all kinds of different things. This didn't really work.

Thoughts: It wasn't a bad effort. SK did alright. Yuz barely hit some horrible running corkscrew splashes here and that didn't help things. Like the last match, the big problem was that the crowd was totally dead. I wouldn't be opposed to maybe seeing this again and SK is a lot better than she was last year.

Thoughts: It got a lot of time and was a main event style match as expected. TI beat up on her for the first part of this, Mayu got some offense in for a bit and they each went close to even until Mayu pulled it out. Mayu botched a double jump springboard poisonrana but because she never got up to the top, it didn't really take away from anything. I didn't like that they went more for the moves and less of the story and drama in the second half of this. I would still say this was okay but it had potential to be great.

Mayu talk on the mic after and Utami Hayashishita comes out to challenge her after.

A former K-1 fighter comes out to give flowers to the girls in the main.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. It went on longer than it needed to and the spirit and energy just wasn't there. The crowd didn't react much either which destroyed this. Miku took a nasty piledriver on the end of a table here and both took some stiff moves. It wasn't awful and you could see where it could have worked but it failed to be the classic they were going for.

Miku talks after. Yuzuki, Mayu and Utami come out and talk. Multipel; roster members then come out and post as confetti sprays.

Overall thoughts: It was a long show. The opener was alright with Coco impressing. The second match was so-so. Jiro/Mega was comedy as expected but at least it didn't go on too long. Utami/Chika was a solid bout. The upper card didn't deliver though. The crowd didn't react at all and brought down all of the big matches. Yuzuki/Koshino was better than I expected though. Mayu/Iroha was okay. The main had the pieces to be good but it just didn't turn into anything special. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 and I thought it was just okay at best. They just didn't impress on the big stage as needed.
