This was a free outdoor show put together as a tribute for the late Katsuji Nagashima who passed away last December. He was a former director for both New Japan and World Japan as well as an editor-in-chief for Tokyo Sports. In DDT he was a financial backer for New World Japan, one of Sanshiro Takagi’s many parody units. He also had connections with the GLEAT wrestlers booked on this show, particularly Katsuhiko Nakajima who had his debut match in WJ. The show included a talk show with Yuji Nagata as a guest.

7. Mizuki & Haru Kazashiro defeated Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki when Mizuki pinned Suzuki with the Cutie Special (15:25).

The hometown girl Shino Suzuki was put through her paces in the main event. Mizuki kept breaking out of her Sleeper Hold but in return Suzuki fought to avoid being put in the Face Lock. Suzuki’s last gaps came from throwing some Elbow Strikes but Mizuki knocked her away with a Back Elbow and got the pin with the Cutie Special. Mizuki got on the microphone after the match and said there are so many people here today who love Suzuki! She secretly would have liked Suzuki to win today but she couldn’t let that happen. Mizuki still has to show her what Tokyo Joshi Pro is like right now. She hopes Suzuki will get stronger so one they they can fight each other for a championship. She also praised Haru Kazashiro and said Miu Watanabe is still a monster but she has become more like a princess now. Suzuki admitted when she lived in Shizuoka nothing she did went well for her. She thought it was a city where people gave up on their dreams. But she found pro wrestling and became really passionate for it so she now loves this city and is proud to come back here.

Is Uta Takami now a part of the Itoh Respect Army? She and Maki Itoh sang “Setsunairo” together for their entrance. That’s the song Itoh made with Mizuki for the original Itoh Respect Army tag team.

An out of the ring chase caused Pom Harajuku to try and trap Rika Tatsumi out of the room by closing a shutter gate on her. Tatsumi though had the strength to lift the gate above her head so she could get back in.

The apprentice ring announcer Rise Shirai did the match calls for the opening bout.
