5. MiraClians (Yuka Sakazaki & Shoko Nakajima) vs. Itoh Respect-gun (Mizuki & Maki Itoh)
Reforming Yuka and Mizuki's former tag teams for a title match prelude was great matchmaking. Yuka, Mizuki and Shoko performed as expected, but Itoh stepped up as well. The match was much like last year's 10. 19 KFC tag match, with four wrestlers of equal rank just going at each other for 20 minutes.
****1/4
6. Natsumi Maki vs. Hikari Noa
Fantastic farewell match for Natsumi, a high speed match with brilliant technique displayed by both wrestlers. The references to their previous matches and tag team were well done. It really felt like Hikari had leveled up as a wrestler and became Natsumi's equal.

7. Princess Tag Team Championship: Daydream (Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi) vs. BeeStar (Mirai Maiumi & Suzume)
Although I still don't find the pairing compelling, Miu & Rika's in-ring chemistry deepens with each defense. This match had great teamwork and spectacular sequences. Suzume & Mirai were given a big opportunity to showcase their growing abilities and delivered fantastic performances.
