A while ago I commissioned a digital portrait of Mayu by one of my favorite comic artists, Chandra Free AKA Spookychan. Chan is a artist, colorist, writer, and she's worked on a bunch of indie comics over the years. Years later, The God Machine is still my favorite graphic novel.
Feel Free to Follow Spookychan on Social Media. She doesn't follow wrestling at all, but she's rad and a total sport about commissions.
It's not the cleanest image as the magazine's digital version has pixel issues when zoomed in. Should be good enough for anyone's digital wallpaper or a specialized tool such as Rasterbator (100% free) for your own wall
Currently I've subscribed to the online version of the magazine for this month. However, subscribing to this is not for everyone as it's all in Japanese
Also in the issue includes a writeup on Hana's funeral and a pretty powerful image that's best to be seen

Volume 1 is available on Amazon Japan's Kindle format for 1500 yen
Chapter notes. Most mirror what happened in the live shows, but in a school setting.
2 new students join the school, Mai Sakurai & Waka Tsukiyama. Unagi Sayaka does her welcoming party schtick on them Mayu Iwatani tries to get Starlight Kid back to STARS
To add, I'm planning to put them in a binder with card sleeve pages. For rare ones, I was gonna put them in a protective sleeve and then in a page. Something like this:

Would this suffice?
Saya not being able to tell the Momos apart? Yeah that sounds about right.
​
I wonder how many match strategies for title matches she's given away to others who just put on these and pretended to be Rossy...
> 1. Why isn't the chin strap buttoned?
The head is slightly too big for the mask. It's mostly fine but the chin strap is a bit too short.
> 2. Where'd you get the heads?
Amazon. They are just generic Styrofoam heads for wigs with some sort of black fabric over the Styrofoam. They have cheaper ones for like $10 that are smaller but the sizing is a guessing game.
> 3. Where'd you get the cases?
Amazon. It's listed as 12 x 12 x 12 but in reality it's roughly 14.5x11x12 inches, the "inside dimensions" listed. I recommend looking at ebay first for these. At the time I was shopping I couldn't find the exact size I wanted but on average Ebay sells cheaper supplies for collectibles. Whether the case is necessary will depend on you and the mask. In my case, I think the Cooga mask would be fine without it but it looks better with it next to the Mayu one and the feathers on the Mayu mask are barely holding on and need to be protected
Presentation wise, I think black heads instead of white heads help the colors pop a little more(IMO) and the trading cards help act almost like a museum display. I 100% don't recommend tracking down trading cards for this purpose, I happen to already have them. Printing a small photo with a name would have been just as good.
I forgot until just now that the Smash era thing Syuri did was an official single released with the idol group Apple Tale. She's a lot in her life. It'd be interesting to read a biography about her. In general, Syuri is probably is the most accomplished entertainer of the current roster. It's a bit hard to reconcile with the bad ass who fought in UFC but she probably has more relevant credits as an entertainer than any of the Cosmic Angels. It's wild how multifaceted she is.
Scalpers are really profiting off of the Stardom store's inability to restrict the number of extremely limited items purchased by a single individual.
Sonny has stated that the Ecwid store doesn’t allow them to limit the quantity of items purchased, but this isn't totally true. There is an official Ecwid addon that adds this exact functionality.
I am of the opinion that photobooks be limited to 1 per customer for at least the first 24 hours.

Is there something in particular you have in mind? A quick google search gives plenty of images of just the belts, especially the Red and White ones.
As for the Artist belts, a quick search led me to this picture. You can also check out this page, which has pictures of all the current Stardom belts.
Hope this helps.
edit: that second link has pictures of all belts, except the SWA belt.
It's already up for preorder as it gets released tomorrow:

You might need to make a separate Amazon Japan account, at least years ago when I started ordering from there it did not accept the account that I had used on every other Amazon site.
I haven't used it on Stardom site lately but this app is really good to create Chromecast links of media in your phone so you can watch on the tv. The full version is really inexpensive also https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instantbits.cast.webvideo
Stardom new generation CD. Not sure if it is available world wide but here is the amazon japan link
You can get it from Amazon if you want.
​
I know they had a CD, I believe it was them doing a cover of the song, and I want to say they've sung the song live as part of an entrance also. Pretty sure I saw that in Yokohama Radiant Hall show at least once.
EDIT: here it is https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%95%E3%83%AC%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BA-BEST-FRIENDS/dp/B019RWB0SC
You can buy the actual DVD on Amazon Japan
Big Egg Universe
George Mayfield filmed that footage at the Dome and inside the Dome too actually, there's fan cam footage from the show.
It's from a Japanese hip-hop/J-Pop group hy4_4yh , found a live version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMDKUap6jcs
Also you might be able to order their CD of Amazon Japan with global shipping, this is the one with the song on it: https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%8F%E3%82%A4%E3%83%91%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A8%E3%83%BC%E7%9B%A43~%E5%A4%8F%E3%81%AE%E7%AB%A0-%E5%86%AC%E3%81%AE%E7%AB%A0-hy4_4yh/dp/B007REM00K
I used ProtonVPN (from the same people of ProtonMail) but like 2 or 3 weeks ago didn't work anymore. I searched a bit more and I found: https://www.vpngate.net/
If you install the SoftEther VPN client, some of the VPNs work for Abema TV, other don't, and it's free.
Thank you for the well wishes. I truly appreciate the kindness.
Health is slowly improving but it's a process. One day at a time.
The Wagakki Band are available on Amazon Music Prime to stream for free so I have been enjoying them quite a lot since first hearing their cover.
https://www.amazon.com/Yasouemaki-WagakkiBand/dp/B01BO93M0K
I do believe the vocaloid version is the original with music and lyrics by Kurousa-P and being released for project Diva - Arcade in 2011 and the Wagakki Band being the 2014 cover... Which is honestly vastly superior as Yūko Suzuhana is a truly stunning vocalist.
No human being should be able to sing like that...
