[8.0] "Hana is gone too soon and i waited long to watch the Show again and watch with neutral Eyes. It is a Good show but for me a 8 and not a 9 or 10"
[10.0] "A great show despite the circumstances. It almost had the feel of a WrestleMania card. It was a show that was a fitting tribute to a nice young woman who died tragically through no fault of her own."
[10.0] "A show that we all wish never happened but that honored Hana's life beautifully. I didn't watch Stardom when she passed away but from all of the things I went back and watched, videos of her hanging out with the other girls, matches, interviews, she seemed like the kindest soul, full of charisma and fantastic in ring ability, especially for someone so young. As someone who struggles with mental health, I think about her often, especially when I'm feeling down. I just wish things could've turned out different, she is so missed by everyone. May we celebrate her life forever. Matane, Hana."
[10.0] "A perfect show to pay tribute to Hana Kimura . A roller coaster ride of emotions . Every thing on the show was wonderful . From the in ring action to the display of attires Hana used throughout her career and the video packages and most importantly the way the wrestlers paid tribute to Hana in their own way . Also , the 10 bell salute and the video package with many wrestlers saying Matane . It was awesome to see Hazuki and Kagetsu step foot in the ring after retiring and apparently the ring rust ideology does not apply to these two very talented women . The opening match was very enjoyable and it introduced me to some very colorful and fun characters ( that is all of the wrestlers participating ) . The battle royal had very good comedy and it was great to see legends like CIMA , Masato Tanaka , Hakushi (Jinsei Shinzaki) , Super Delfin and Jun Kasai participate in the battle royal . Also , really liked how Sakura Hirota paid tribute to Hana by dressing up like her . The 8 women tag and the main event were amazing as well . Although , it was not about match quality and more about celebrating the life of a very talented woman who we lost way too early and they fulfilled that purpose succesfully. Kyona's promo to open the show was nice , it is great to see she is doing well . Also , I loved how Kyona , Death Yama san and Konami stepped on Natsupoi and did the Yes Sir pose only for Konami to kick Kyona out of the ring . That was hilarious . I absolutely loved how they tried to make this more of a celebration of the life of Hana with all the comedy and hilarious moments. The ending moments and the video package had me tearing up . It was heart breaking to see Kyoko holding the picture of her deceased daughter . Kagetsu paid tribute with those colors on her outfit and Asuka multiple times through out her match looked up and kissed to the sky to pay homage to this fallen hero. The show ending with everybody doing the Tokyo Cyber Squad pose and then video packages with many notable names saying Matane Hana such as Hikaru Shida , Io Shirai , Sarray , Kairi Hojo , Kenoh , Kenny Omega , Bea Priestley , Masato Tanaka , CIMA , Shinno Hagane , ASUKA , Kagetsu , Hazuki, Meiko Satomura , Keiji Muto and most importantly her mother Kyoko Kimura and others that I could not mention: . Hana was a wonderful human being and was only improving in the ring at a very fast pace . It is sad that we never got to witness her true potential . She died way too young because of some internet bullies and I hope karma gets back at those bullies . Hana loved everyone and she deserved the world . This was not a good bye to Hana but rather a See you later . Matane Hana . Fly high angel ."
[9.0] "Great tribute show. If only the quality of the matches was higher I would totally rate it 10. It was really sad to see Kyoko Kimura holding Hana's photo and standing alone in the ring next to tailor's dummy dressed in Hana's attire. Even sadder was the Matane part. The toughest guy on the planet Yukio Sakaguchi saying "Hana-chan, matane". It totally broke my heart and reopened the wounds from the last year. About the matches - great action and many big names and guest. Eight Man Tag Team Match was The Match of The Night. It was a real privilege to see Kagetsu and HZK back once again."
[10.0] "great tribute to a wonderful wrestler and person who we lost way too soon. the matches were all very special and fun. the video packages were great too."
[10.0] "The perfect tribute show, it's just that easy. Everything had its purpose, and it was to remember the most beautiful soul that blessed this sport. Thank you so much Hana, matane <3"
[9.0] "almost impossible to rate, seeing kagetsu and hazuki in ring again the people kyoko managed to get involved was astonishing a fitting tribute to hana"
"How do you rate a show like this? As a celebration of Hana Kimura featuring some of her best friends and favorite wrestlers, I think it was a big success. I'm not going to put a number on it personally. The opener was a cool showcase of some guys that people who aren't deep into Japanese indies probably weren't familiar with. The battle royal wasn't my cup of tea for the most part, but definitely had some cool surprises. The main event and impromptu 2nd main event were outstanding. She said in an interview after the show that this was definitively her last match, but I really wish Kagetsu could keep going. She was incredible here. If nothing else, try to check out the main event if you can, it was awesome."
[10.0] "Wonderful tribute show. I see people rating this on the idea of workrate but its never the goal with these. This was a show filled with people who were in Hana's life in someway and was a great way to bring wrestling as a whole in Japan closer. Very rarely will you see Okinawa Pro wrestlers on a show with anyone from Stardom or Masato Tanaka. The battle royale was truly one of the funniest matches I've seen. Getting a bonus main event and seeing Kagetsu wrestle one last time was icing on whatever sad melted cake this is. The tribute videos will 100% wreck you."
"Ich kann hier keine Wertung geben und die Show mit dem gleichen Parameter bewerten wie übliche Supercards oder Weeklys, aber das war eine unglaublich schöne Memorial Show, genau ein Jahr nachdem wir Hana Kimura verloren haben und man kann es immer noch nicht so richtig wahr haben. Zu den Matches: Der Opener war überraschend stark, das war wirklich ein gutes Match. Die Battle Royale war Japan-typisch, aber hatte tolle Momente und mit Cima, Masato Tanaka und Ram Kaicho eine sehr gute Final 3 bzw. Siegerin. Generell waren viele tolle Namen dabei. Das Eight Man Tag Team Match war absolut großartig. Allein die Idee mit Oedo Tai und TCS die zwei Teams von Hana in ein Team zu packen ist perfekt. Wirklich toll, dass Konami und Kaori hier wrestlen konnten und Kagetsu wieder zu sehen wurde nur noch von der Überraschung getoppt, dass auch Hazuki nochmal gewrestlet hat. Auch das Gegner Team war sehr gut und hatte mit ASUKA einen der Stars der Show. Gutes Match, tolle Momente mit der TCS Reunion mit Jungle Kyona etc. Aber das war es noch nicht, denn wir bekamen noch ASUKA gegen Kagetsu, zwei der wichtigsten Weggefährtinnen von Hana Kimura und ein absolutes Dreammatch. Das war auch wirklich stark, Kagetsu ist einfach genauso gut wie immer, zeigt selbst den 450 als hätte sie nie pausiert. Ich kann kaum sagen wie sehr ich sie im Ring vermisse. Sie, und auch Hazuki, haben bei Stardom eine riesen Lücke hinterlassen, die auch über ein Jahr später noch nicht gefüllt werden konnte. Aber wie auch im Match zuvor hat man hier ASUKA zum Star gemacht, die am Ende gewinnt. Danach kam dann die große Memorial Zeremonie für Hana mit einem tollen Video-Paket zu ihrer Karriere. Unglaublich was für eine Karriere sie trotz ihres viel zu kurzen Lebens hatte und ihre Momente bei Stardom sowie auch NJPW und ROH kommen ja noch dazu. Danach gab es den 10 Bell Salute von Jungle Kyona und abschließende Video Nachrichten, wo wirklich niemand gefehlt hat. Das war hart zu schauen, traurig (gerade Kyoko's letzte Video-Nachricht), emotional, aber ein perfekter Tribut und man kann nur Danke zu Kyoko Kimura und allen Beteiligten sagen, dass wir diese tolle Show bekommen haben."
[10.0] "When this show was created, I knew it was going to special. Difficult, but special. Whether you look at it just for the wrestling or the entire celebration of the life of Hana Kimura, you felt her presence through the entire night. As I sit here just over 24 hours removed, I still feel what I felt watching that. Love, happiness, and sadness in at once. Kyoko put together a show that is not only one of the best all year, but among the best I have ever seen. The original main event had some of the best talents in the entire world, add in the legendary Kagetsu and Hazuki who didn't miss a beat, and you have one of the best tag matches all year. Then when Kagetsu and ASUKA faced off in the impromptu singles main event, they made it even more special. This show was not only special, but it brought the entire world together to celebrate one of it's brightest lights, Hana Kimura. For that, this is a perfect 10. Matane."
[10.0] "I thought that it would be difficult for any show to top Stardom's 3/3 event, but this one might've done just that. This was a beautiful show put on by wonderful people and I'm sure that Hana loved every moment. I will never forget this show."
[10.0] "Just an absolutely wonderful tribute to an amazing performer gone far too soon. It was a really beautiful and joyful. Thank you Hana and Kyoko."
[10.0] "Hana Kimura is someone special to me as a fan of pro wrestling because shes one of my all time favourites in all of Japanese wrestling. She had the look, personality and talent by age 22 to be one of the biggest stars in all of pro wrestling and possibly outside of it. I began watching stardom because of her and watched Terrace House from the 2015 series onwards purely on hearing that she was joining the then current series. Hearing about her death at 4am from a fellow fan on the internet affected me more than any other death in wrestling in my 29 years of being on this planet. When I heard there would be a memorial show in her memory, I made sure that I was free from work and other obligations to watch this show live and this show is a testament to the impact Hana had on her fans and her peers. A sellout crowd witnessed a card composed of many different promotions coming together to honour an angel, with a good 6 man tag, a fun, whacky battle royal, a 8 woman tag that is one of my matches of the year and great to see TCS reunite for one night only to pay tribute to their leader. The Impromptu match with Kagetsu and VENY was a welcome surprise with Kagetsu showing she s still awesome and HZKs one night return was equally great. The tribute videos at the end was lovely and one of the most heartwarming things Ive seen in pro wrestling, seeing Jungle Kyona cry during the 10 bell salute had me in tears. Overall, I loved this show and would recommend for anyone who was affected by Hanas death or a fan of hers to seek it out for a show that celebrates her life rather than focuses on her untimely death. Matane, Hana-chan and god bless, Kyoko-chan. Five stars."
"Great Memorial Show! Not rateable as anything else! Great show to honor the live an memory of Hana Kimura! So many memories, so many familiar faces that were impacted by Hana Kimura and vice versa. This show had it all: Joy, Sadness, Tears etc. It was a show I'm very happy I watched and also wish I would never have had to watch at the same time. Bitter sweet show, where every great moment this show gave us (e. g. Kagetsu and Hazuki) was always overshadowed by the terrible reason this show even exists. The greatest show I wish never existed!"
[10.0] "my favorite wrestling show of all time. hana's favorite wrestler, HUB, won the first match. her friend since elementary school, ram kaicho, won the second, and her tag team partner ASUKA won the last two matches. really nice to see that her memory still lives on. proud of kyoko and the rest of the talent!"
[10.0] "A lovely show that captured all of the wonderful things that made Hana Kimura such a special wrestler. Her friends, her mother. Her favorite music, her colorful gear on display. A wild opener, an incredibly fun battle royale, a wonderful main event, then another surprise main event that was a legit banger. Seeing Kagetsu and Hazuki again was a total treat. While we can never get Hana back, this show provided a bit of closure we so badly needed."
[10.0] "Das war gleichzeitig eine sehr schöne aber auch emotionale Show für Hana Kimura. Hochachtung für die Verantwortlichen, Beteiligten und vorallem Kyoko, die es auf die Beine gestellt haben. Alle 4 Matches konnten unterhalten und es war wieder schön Kagetsu und Hazuki in Aktion zu sehen. Vorallem Hazuki war ein gelungen Überraschung. Das 15-minütige Video war eine wunderbare Zusammnfassung über Hana und ihre Karriere, wie auch die Grüße der Wrestler zum Ende der Show. Matane, Hana!"
[10.0] "It's maybe not my favorite show of the year but it's maybe the most important show to me in my life of wrestling fan. It gave me so much emotions, wow. Seeing Jungle Kyona crying while she was ringing the bell got me, I cried. This was an incredbile tribute to Hana Kimura. Matane."
[10.0] "A beautiful tribute to Hana that was a lot of fun. Just by the wide range of names that showed up you can see how much she was loved. Matane, Hana."
[10.0] "Awesome tribute & great wrestling with a lot of fun. Everyone on the show gave 120%. Thank you Kyoko for doing this awesome show! Matane Hana."
[10.0] "Es fällt mir immer schwer Tribute Shows zu bewerten, da sie mit einem normalen Wrestling Event nur schlecht verglichen werden können. Die Emotionalität spielt eine ganz andere Rolle und sie muss dem Umstand geschuldet angemessen sein. Das war hier der Fall. Man muss kein japanisch sprechen, damit die letzten 20-25 Minuten der Show ihre Wirkung entfalten. Es war eine rundum gelungene Show, die sogar auf wrestlerischer Ebene einiges zu bieten hatte. Da muss man allen Beteiligten, aber natürlich allen voran Kyoko Kimura den größten Respekt aussprechen. Vielen Dank, dass man uns Fans nach einem Jahr doch noch eine gelungene und verdiente Abschiedsshow gegeben hat."
[10.0] "There is only one rating possible for this show, it has to be a 10 for the memories, for the ones coming back and for Hana. Never forget Everybody is different, everybody is special. YES SIR!"
[10.0] "A beautiful tribute, which is a real hymn to life and not just to wrestling. From the beginning with the DJ and the crew of dancers to the card itself, where every match had its purpose of fun and entertainment. The last two matches have been wonderful. Fantastic Kagetsu who came out of retirement to fight two matches with great intensity and without saving energy, as well as Hazuki, who fought to the best of his ability. The final video is poetry: I was hoping that Kairi and Io would also appear and, luckily, they did. Matane, Hana. And thank you very much, Kyoko, for your strength and your desire to give a similar show to the public."
[10.0] "This was a wonderful, heartfelt tribute show for a wonderful soul who was gone too soon. Everyone gave it their all and it was an excellent show. The ending was a wonderful yet heartbreaking way to cap off the perfect tribute show. Matane, Flower."
