    Welcome back to Open The Voice Gate! Case (https://twitter.com/_inyourcase) and Mike (https://twitter.com/fujiiheya) are back with an update on the comings and goings of Dragongate.

    Dragongate’s had a busy week in western Japan with shows in Okayama (2/10), the first Acros Fukuoka doubleheader of 2024 (2/11) and Hakata (2/12), so Case and Mike break it down unit by unit. Tanaka’s first win, Strong Machine J returns to New Japan, Gianni Mania, Nostalgia Gate, and a whole lot more on this week’s Voice Gate!
