NEO STAGE - Final: Winner of #1 vs. Winner of #2 SUN News update by Irving - 25 Jan 2008 The situation of Chickfights SUN is a very interesting one indeed. With Shinjiro Ohtani assuming presidency of First On Stage, he has made it quite clear that he really doesn't have any intentions on moving forward with the company. Former FOS president, Yoshiyuki Nakamura has stated that he didn't intend on allowing his creation just die, and that he hasn't released control of SUN to Ohtani. Basically, Nakamura is trying to move forward with the company, while Ohtani doesn't see the need for it, and really doesn't even want the women working Z1-MAX shows. Both Nanae Takahashi (the company ace), and Natsuki*Taiyo (their young ace) are out sick, narrowing it down to Hikaru and Saki Maemura, who will have a series of singles bouts on upcoming Z1-MAX cards. The promotion hasn't run a show since around October or November, but there have been rumors flying that SUN may break away from FOS. The most controversial rumor swirling is that the girls may actually be apart of whatever Zenjo product that Chigusa Nagayo is trying to launch.. we'll keep an eye on this situation.
