On June 18, it was announced that WNC would be shutting down following June 26. The promotion's female wrestlers, Makoto included, remained affiliated with Reina Joshi Puroresu. At the first post-WNC Reina event on June 29, Makoto and Kaho Kobayashi unsuccessfully challenged .STAP (Maki Narumiya and Risa Sera) for the International Ribbon Tag Team Championship. On July 31, Makoto celebrated her eighth anniversary as a professional wrestler, working in a main event match, where she and Ray unsuccessfully challenged La Comandante and Yumiko Hotta for the Reina World Tag Team Championship. On August 12, Makoto made her debut for Emi Sakura's Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling promotion, teaming with Riho in a main event tag team match, where they defeated Sakura and "Kotori". On August 20, Makoto and her new partner Ariya defeated La Comandante and Yumiko Hotta to become the new Reina World Tag Team Champions. They made their first successful title defense on August 30 against Cherry and Kaho Kobayashi. On September 30, Makoto unsuccessfully challenged Syuri for the WNC Women's Championship in the title's final match before its retiring. On October 9, Reina's new storyline "consultant" Kana stripped Makoto and Ariya of the Reina World Tag Team Championship. Through Reina's working relationship with the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) promotion, Makoto, along with Maki Narumiya, traveled to Mexico for a two-week tour with the promotion. They made their debuts on October 14, teaming with La Comandante in a six-woman tag team match, where they defeated Estrellita, Goya Kong and Princesa Sugehit. On October 19, Makoto won a ten-woman "Mexico vs. Rest of the World" "torneo cibernetico", scoring the last elimination over La Amapola, whom she afterwards challenged to a match for her CMLL-Reina International Championship. The title match between the two took place on October 26 and saw Amapola retain. The match also marked the end of Makoto's CMLL tour.
