Things to note about #STARDOM's 1/2/2021 New Year Stars:
Ring Announcer Yurie Kozakai looked prettier than ever wearing a cute cow costume! Why cow? It's because 2021 is the Year of the Ox/Cow according to the Chinese Zodiac widely utilized in Japan

After Tam pinned Ruaka in the 3-way battle against two STARS members, her second Unagi started taking care of Ruaka regardless of their factional difference, but angry Tam quickly pulled Unagi away from Ruaka, making it clear that Cosmic Angels show no mercy for STARS.

Kid pinned AZM after Top Rope Moonsault Press, currently her top finishing move. Kid has attempted this move many times in the past, but this was the 1st time she successfully performed it since she had debuted it during her match in Sendai Cinderella on 11/15/2020.(cont.)
Unagi premiered the new gear for her first-ever singles match in STARDOM. Her knee pads feature two Chinese characters "祭" and "蒲": the former means "festival" while the latter is used to refer to the method of cooking for "unagi no kabayaki", or glaze-grilled eel.(cont.)
NatsuPoi renewed her signature baton she uses for the entrance from a typical baton for baton twirling to one that looks fancier with decorative patterns. NatsuPoi also suggested in the post-match promo that she would focus on wrestling this year and aim to win a belt.(cont.)
Natsuko debuted her new finisher Death Valley Bomb (note that it was the ultimate finishing move of Kagetsu, the former Oedo Tai leader aka Prime Minister) and pinned Giulia for the 1st fall after a vicious steel chair shot to the head behind the referee's back.(cont.)
Natsuko wasted no time attacking Giulia after the 1st fall, hit her with the signature chain lariat followed by hanging her over the top rope with a chain, and got disqualified for the 2nd fall. Giulia couldn't get up almost throughout the rest of the match.(cont.)
After the match, Giulia told Natsuko to face her in the 10th Anniversary Day (1/17/2021) at Korakuen Hall with her White Belt on the line. Natsuko said she's not interested in an ordinary match and claimed her right to decide the match type & rules, which Giulia admitted.
