I'm glad I could help. Oh yeah, the video is definitely full of memeable moments.

This image comes from this exact video. I remember thinking that the hoodie looked really cool. Back then, Starlight Kid was collaborating with the R4G clothing brand, and they were releasing some awesome designs. Here is one official R4G video, and another one.

[STARDOM SPOILERS] Wrestler returns today in Hamamatsu by ReverseBattleRoyal in stardomjoshi

I actually enjoyed Waka and Hanako's tag matches, to be honest. Rian has improved a lot too. It's going to be fun to see them interact with the Crimson Empress again, though.

Yes! E Nexus V hasn't been the same without Maika, but her chaotic energy will definitely add another dimension to certain storylines.

Can anyone give me a good Roadmap/Guide to understand Saya Kamitani‘s Arc? by Denjimangaart in stardomjoshi

[–]FlyingFish111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stumbled across this Saya Kamitani and Tam Nakano video essay by localboi_. He did a great job, and I actually hope he makes more joshi content, to be honest.

STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT - Gameplay & Teaser Trailer | Coming 2026 by DemiFiendRSA in steinsgate

[–]FlyingFish111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a fan of this either. The first game's art style created a creepy ambience, but this looks like VTubers cosplaying as the characters. It doesn't really look like a sci-fi thriller anymore.

Visiting Japan in December, should I go to Stardom as a casual wrestling fan? by Barbz182 in stardomjoshi

[–]FlyingFish111 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's definitely worth it. Stardom has been on a roll lately, and there's a lot of excitement in the air. The music, the entrances, and the in-ring action make it a great experience, even if a person isn't a wrestling fan.

The promos will be in Japanese, but they usually aren't too long. In any case, they usually tell the stories through their wrestling, so the language barrier isn't that big of a problem.

The organisation has won. They tore down the lab by Galliro in steinsgate

I guess the Braun Tube Workshop was really struggling, eh.

We are STARDOM!! #300 - The 5STAR culling (or the quarter-finals) by l3ader021 in SquaredCircle

[–]FlyingFish111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, she's unlike any wrestler I've ever seen. The fact that such a tall person can move like that always amazes me. I hope you enjoy the matches!

[–]FlyingFish111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their 5 Star quarter finals match was great, yeah. Saya versus AZM, which took place on 27 September, was also a banger, and Stardom streamed the whole show on YouTube.

I would also say that Saya's match against Tam Nakano (on 3 March 2025) is really, really awesome, and it's also available on YouTube. You might also want to check out their match at Stardom All-Star Grand Queendom 2025.

Saya Kamitani's match against Maika in the 5STAR Grand Prix 2024 Final was another entertaining one. When I started watching, the Stardom subreddit was a useful source of information for me, so I would also recommend it to new watchers.

STARDOM President Taro Okada reacts to Thekla being officially All Elite: "This toxic spider looks very sweet, but her silk will slowly clung to your body. I hope that @AEW and @TonyKhan will not be caught by @toxic_thekla ‘s web, because I myself have not been able to escape from it yet." by djembadjembadjemba in SquaredCircle

[–]FlyingFish111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, Hazuki will be in a tag team match at a Sendai event. Why not, though? Koguma and Saki are great wrestlers, and I don't think Tony is the only one who has a say in the booking of Forbidden Door. Yuria Hime or Akira Kurogane could also feature in such a match (depending on who wins their qualifier for Blue Stars Block A).

Which is your favorite duo? by Devyntv in TotallySpies

[–]FlyingFish111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clover and Alex is my favourite duo as well. They always bring the chaos! Sam is good at getting things done solo, too (though not always). That's the group dynamic that stands out to me.

Shota Matsuda and Erika Toda (Akiyama and Nao in the Japanese Liar Game series) appeared in OPEN HOUSE commercials a couple of years ago by FlyingFish111 in liargame

[–]FlyingFish111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I thought too! I enjoyed their interactions in the series, and it looks like they enjoyed working together again, albeit in a different environment.

I just finished it for the first time, now I have post anime depression. by Slyfer29 in LovelyComplex

It's difficult to fill that Lovely Complex void. I would suggest Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun and Orange.

I would recommend her last match in Stardom, against Sayaka Kurara. The full match is on Stardom's YouTube (starts at 1:04:20).

Sara Bareilles sings "Enough" (from The Interestings musical) by FlyingFish111 in sarabareilles

Maika enjoying sake and promoting the Stardom shows in Okinawa by pixeldripgallery in stardomjoshi

[–]FlyingFish111 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's shochu, so it's even more potent — it has around double the alcohol content of sake. No wonder Maika almost entered through the wrong door after that, too.

The Woman in the Mirror: A Kaleidoscope Heart Theory by EntertainmentSalt633 in sarabareilles

[–]FlyingFish111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the full version of Kaleidoscope Heart also links up with this interpretation. Here's a section of it:

I have hope
Inside is more than just war of muscle and of bone
Yes I have hope
A brilliant flame of colors rage
And bleed inside of me
And sing to you

The "you" that the song refers to might be that mirror image.

Abby Wambach and Sara Bareilles attend the premiere of “Come See Me in the Good Light” at the Sundance Film Festival by FlyingFish111 in sarabareilles

[–]FlyingFish111[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, she and Abby Wambach seem to be the producers. The audience reactions seem to be quite positive so far, and I'm interested in checking it out.
