Alex and Dylan return for a slightly shorter episode this week.

After losing 2 hours worth of conversation our hosts ran back a more concise version of the show with a quick rundown of Mina Shirakawa's adventures abroad and Momo Watanabe challenging Mercedes Mone before focusing on the important points if the recent GP shows.

They then look ahead to the Yamagata Block finals show and offer their predictions on who will proceed to the QF stage.

Marigold took centre stage after announcing the blocks and schedule for the Dream Star GP which allowed Alex and Dylan to offer early predictions for the potential final.

The show closes with a review of the Korkauen including the announcement of Seri Yamaoka (a hyped rookie in Marigold's system), PASSION, Mai Sakurai's coming out party, and Giulia's last stand, before a quick preview of the Shinkiba double header.
