In 2004, Heat and Kanemoto slowly became allies again, teaming together throughout the year. 2nd breakup (2004-2011) On October 9, 2004 at Pro-Wrestlers Be Strongest, Minoru returned to his birth name and the Junior Stars re-united to take on Gedo and Jado for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. After Kanemoto finally tagged Minoru in, he shocked the New Japan fans by attacking Kanemoto and helping Gedo and Jado win, turning heel and joining Control Terrorism Unit (C.T.U.) in the process. After turning heel, Minoru wrestled as both himself and Heat throughout late 2004, and the two faced off for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship twice in late 2004, with the first match ending by double knockout and the second with Heat pinning Kanemoto. All Japan Pro Wrestling (2011-present) October 9, 2004 would be the last time the Junior Stars teamed together during both their runs in NJPW, with Minoru leaving after his contract expired in 2009. The only time the two teamed together during this period was a one off match where they defeated Masaaki Mochizuki and Shinjiro Otani at Masaaki Mochizuki's 15th Anniversary show in December 2008. After Kanemoto began competing outside of NJPW in 2011, he debuted for All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) on March 6, re-forming the Junior Stars with Minoru to defeat Kaz Hayashi and Shuji Kondo. The two once again teamed up for the 2011 Junior Tag League, making it to the final where they just barely lost out to Kai and Hayashi in a match that went over 30 minutes. Kanemoto once again returned to AJPW in November and the two entered the 2011 Real World Tag League and performed well, defeating the likes of Manabu Soya and Takao Omori and Masanobu Fuchi and Taiyo Kea, but were unable to reach the final and finished the tournament with 8 points. In 2012, Kanemoto was traded to All Japan full time and the Junior Stars officially re-formed, defeating Turmeric Storm (Tomoaki Honma and Kazushi Miyamoto) to win the All Asia Tag Team Championship on October 21. In 2013, Kanemoto joined Tanaka's stable Stack of Arms alongside Masayuki Kono and Masakatsu Funaki. The two remained with AJPW until June 25, 2013, when they left the promotion in a mass-exodus. Wrestle-1 (2013-2014) Kanemoto and Tanaka were both part of the mass exodus from All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) to form Wrestle-1, led by Keiji Mutoh.
