Today, the main casts of The Queens of Villains made a surprise appearance at the legendary Crush Gals 40th anniversary event in Yokohama, Japan and celebrated their anniversary by performing their hit song "Bible Of Fire (Hono no Seisyo)" together on the stage.

Chigusa Nagayo is a part of the show who trained these main casts to prepare for the roles of pro wrestlers.

The Queen of Villains, written and produced by Osamu Suzuki, teaming up with director Kazuya Shiraishi, will be coming to Netflix in 2024.
