"The Club Venus, led by Mina Shirakawa in the female professional wrestling organization "Stardom," has been infused with "Billiken power."
In a league match for the 6-person tag "Triangle Derby 1," Club Venus, consisting of Shirakawa, Xia Brookside, and Mariah May, went on a tour of Osaka to strengthen their cohesion. Joining them as a translator was Waka Tsukiyama, a graduate from Hokkaido University. The group started their tour by trying Osaka's famous takoyaki, which Maria praised as "very hot and delicious." They then walked through the shopping district of Shinsekai, where Xia tried her hand at throwing shurikens and Maria at shooting targets, displaying impressive technique akin to that of a ninja.
Finally, at the Tsutenkaku Tower, they were captivated by the image of Billiken, an Osaka symbol, and Shirakawa even stroked his foot for good luck. She said, "Today, our teamwork has improved. I want to be like Billiken, who can keep a smile no matter how much he is teased and develop the same level of patience."
On February 4th, at the Edion Arena Osaka, the "Belt Challenge Roulette Single Elimination Match" will take place, where opponents will be determined by a roulette and Shirakawa and Mariah will participate from Club Venus.
Last November, Shirakawa challenged the champion, Saya Kamitani, for the Wonder of Stardom Championship, but was hit by Saya's Phoenix Splash in the jaw, forcing her to take a break. Shirakawa now says, "This is my chance for revenge. I will reign as the white Venus that brings smiles and luck to everyone." With their strengthened teamwork as their weapon, they will aim for the white belt once again."
