On September 10th, Noah held a collaboration event during the match between Tokyo Verdy and Thespakusatsu Gunma, which was held at Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo. 

Five wrestlers, Naomichi Marufuji, Kaito Kiyomiya, Masa Kitamiya, Yoshiki Inamura and Alejandro were in their ring wear to participate in events such as greetings at the opening and participating in the spectator participation event in the talk show Kids Park before the match. The Tokyo Verdy supporters behind the goal welcomed them with a banner reading, "Marufuji, Kiyomiya, Masa Kitamiya, Inamura, Alejandro - welcome to The Green Light Studio*" 

Here are the comments from the five wrestlers who participated in the event. 

ALEJANDRO: So that a Noah event can be held at the Ajinomoto Stadium, let's come together to make the Ariake Arena event a success. I would love to return. Thank you!

INAMURA (When asked about the hardest training) I love all training, so there is no hard training (Applause in the stadium)

KITAMIYA: I think that Versapo are really passionate fans as they have put up a wonderful banner. I would like as many people as possible to come and see Noah.

KIYOMIYA: I played soccer from Elementary School to Junior High. My position was left back. I ran great (laughs) I think that the thickness of my thighs was made during my soccer era.  

MARUFUJI: I would like to put up a ring in such a wide space (the pitch) and have a match  

Notes

Green Light Studio: After Tokyo Verdy win, the stadium lights are dimmed and the penlights switch on to celebrate the victory with the team. This is only done at night however.
