At CyberFight Festival 2021, an event promoted by TJPW, DDT and Noah on June 6, 2021, Miyamoto teamed up with Arisu Endo, Haruna Neko and BeeStar (Mirai Maiumi and Suzume) to defeat Kaya Toribami, Mahiro Kiryu, Nao Kakuta, Pom Harajuku and Raku.[17] One year later at CyberFight Festival 2022, she teamed up with Arisu Endo, Kaya Toribami, Mahiro Kiryu and Nao Kakuta to defeat Haruna Neko, Hyper Misao, Pom Harajuku, Yuki Aino and Yuuri.[18]

At Ultimate Party 2023, an event promoted by DDT Pro-Wrestling, Miyamoto teamed up with Yuki Arai and Shino Suzuki to defeat Daisy Monkey (Suzume and Arisu Endo) and Wakana Uehara.[19]
