On July 18, 2016, Yukihi received her first title match when she challenged Tsukasa Fujimoto for the ICE×60 Championship, but was unsuccessful.[10] Yukihi participated in the ICE×60 Championship Tournament and managed to get to the second round on November 23, where she was eliminated by Hiragi Kurumi.[11]

Through 2017, Azure Revolution began to pursue after the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship. They received their first title match against Kurumi and Tsukushi on April 24, but were unsuccessful.[12] when the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship was vacated on September 9,[13] Azure Revolution entered an eight-team tournament to win the vacant championship on October 29, when they defeated the Lovely Butchers (Hamuko Hoshi and Miyagi) in the finals.[14]
