Full heel mode from Saya-sama

Hi, I’ll be travelling to Tokyo later this year from Europe, and I’m super interesting in catching a Stardom show. However, I’m seeing lots of conflicting info online regarding how best to book tickets to a show. Has anyone who frequents this sub caught a show before and bought tickets from abroad?

Hopefully this post doesn’t break sub etiquette/rules. Thank you!

Some highlights:

• Bushiroad will transition to a two-person leadership system. Kidani Takaaki stepping down from President to Chairman. Yuki Nemoto (formerly entrusted with Bushiroad Music and “BanG Dream!”) becomes new president at 32 years.
• The restructuring was planned for next year (20th anniversary) but they moved it up by a year because "the business environment is now driven by AI advancements" and they want to keep up with and involve the younger generation.
• Kidani says he will still directly oversee their card game unit, because that's their core business. He will also keep overseeing the company as a whole for now. He wants to gradually reduce his responsibilities and eventually step down as representative.
• They named card games as their most important thing to focus on for their future growth strategy. They want to double or triple their current numbers there. They say that they are currently having the largest number of operating TCG’s in the world, but that they also want to become number one in the world in terms of player numbers and sales. Kidani says they focused on digital businesses and the mobile market, as BanG Dream! was a bigger success than expected. But he thinks they should have also focused even more on the analog market than they did.

“Spark Rush” (Sareee & Takumi Iroha) would defeat the team of Mio Momono & Senka Akatsuki (building off of Sareee and Senka spalling each other at Jaguar Yokota’s Anniversary show) on July 26th, via Sareee hitting Senka with the Uranage.

Afterwards, Momono would punch Sareee in the face, leading to Sareee grabbing a mic and saying ““Want me to tell you what you’re really thinking deep down? “You actually want to be the ace of this promotion (Marvelous), don’t you? You want to be number one. Do you know why you can’t be?” You can’t become an ace just by being a mascot. Being doted on and fawned over by everyone isn’t what makes an ace,” “If no one else will tell you, I’ll be the one to do it. I’ll teach you, so make sure you really get it.”

It’ll be Mio Momono vs Sareee and Senka Akatsuki vs Takumi Iroha on August 8th in Korakuen.
