>[STARDOM] Tam Nakano to "Dark Fallen Saya Kamitani" in the September 22nd Artist Championship Match: "I want to give her a shot and wake her up"
>Wake up! Tam Nakano, the world champion of the women's professional wrestling "Stardom", reforms Saya Kamitani (27), also known as the "Phoenix that fell into the dark."
>At the Kaminoyama tournament in Yamagata (Mitsuyu Engineers Sports and Culture Center) on the 22nd, she will be taking on Tora Natsuko, Kamitani, and Ruaka from the evil group H.A.T.E. in her first defense of the Artist Championship, which she holds with fellow Cosmic Angels members Natsupoi and Saori Anou.
>When interviewed, Nakano began by saying, "Regarding the hate, the thing Tam is most concerned about is Kamitani..." She then rolled up her sleeves and said, "I want to find out what she really thinks. After I find out, I'd like to wake her up if possible. Is that what Kamitani wanted to do? She set the record for the most number of white belt (Wonder Championship) defenses, and she was so brave and cool when she defended QQ (Queen's Quest). I want to give her one shot and wake her up," she said.
>She faced Kamitani, who joined Hate in July, in the first match of last year's single league tournament "5STAR GP." During that match, Kamitani dislocated her left elbow while performing a huge plancha, forcing her into a long absence.
>Nakano speculated that "Kamitani resents Tam and has fallen into that dark side because of Tam," and had planned to "reunite" with her at this year's 5STAR finals to find out the truth, but it didn't work out. Kamitani made it to the finals and came in second, but Nakano lost all six official matches.
