Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Shota Kawakami 1st Anniversary Match: Shota defeated Shota Kawakami with the Frog Splash (10:10).
2. YuuRI, Nanami & Kirari Wakana defeated Moeka Haruhi, Yuna Manase & Banny Oikawa when YuuRI pinned Oikawa with the Swanton Bomb (9:50).
3. Yumehito Imanari, Keisuke Ishii & Shinichiro Tominaga defeated Yuki Kanzaki, Munetatsu Nakamura & Daisuke®️ when Tominaga pinned Daisuke®️ with Wine Hamon Overdrive (13:36).
4. HARUKAZE’s Last Match Before Her Hiatus: Ken Ohka defeated HARUKAZE with the Flame Spear (13:17).
5. Shuichiro Katsumura & Hartley Jackson defeated Toru Sugiura & Dragon Libre when Katsumura pinned Libre with the KKB (15:23).
6. Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles: Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase (c) defeated Yasu Urano & PSYCHO when Watase pinned Urano with the Running Elbow Butt (19:25).
*V4 for Shigehiro Irie & Mizuki Watase.
After the main event Mizuki Watase brought up that he and Yasu Urano once fought each other for the King Of Dark Title, a championship that DDT awarded to the loser and banished them to the pre-show until they won a match. He noted that match was 16 minutes long and lasted longer than the main event of the same show that day. He also said after today’s show he is now certain who the main character of Ganbare☆Pro is and that’s everybody in the GanPro universe! As for the next challengers for Watase & Shigehiro Irie, they welcome anyone to come face them for the Spirit Of Ganbare World Tag Team Titles. They want to defend the titles at every GanPro show.
The semi-main event sparked a fire between GanPro and FREEDOMS when Takashi Sasaki interfered in the match to help Toru Sugiura & Dragon Libre. The GanPro wrestlers acting as seconds at ringside ran him off allowing Shuichiro Katsumura & Hartley Jackson to win one for the home team. Sasaki swore revenge afterwards and said he will fight GanPro any time.
Sadly for HARUKAZE she is leaving pro wrestling for now without ever winning a match at an independent GanPro show. She was persistent in trying to get Ken Ohka to tap out to an Arm Bar before switching gears to using roll up pins. Ohka couldn’t be beaten though and he pinned HARUKAZE with the Flame Spear. HARUKAZE asked everyone to make GanPro bigger so when she does come back she can win her first match there in front of a larger audience! Ohka said he believes she will be successful in life away from pro wrestling and when she does return they will wrestle together again.
Once the show was completed Munetatsu Nakamura, Shota Kawakami & YuuRI held a Ganbare☆Rally at ringside to promote the “YOUNG GANBARE SUMMIT” show happening on 10th May. Nakamura will be facing Mochizuki Jr. from Dragongate on the show and promised to beat him with a German Suplex. Kawakami called his opponents Kazumasa Yoshida & Ali Najima two big opponents so he and Shota Kofuji will show them a giant killing! YuuRI will be in a 6-Woman Tag Match and said no matter who she teams up with or fights against she will do her best in her own way.
Yoshiko Hasegawa will get to wrestle in GanPro one last time before her retirement. She will team with YuuRI & Riara to take on Yuna Manase, Moeka Haruhi & Banny Oikawa on 22nd June.

7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) defeated Matcha & Alexis Lee when Nakajima pinned Lee with the Diving Senton (14:17).
*V2 for Kyoraku Kyomei.
Golden Week ends with Tokyo Joshi Pro resisting the SEA Storm. Kyoraku Kyomei were excited to have challengers from outside of Japan coming to fight them for the Princess Tag Team Titles. They didn’t expect Matcha & Alexis Lee to know their tricks because they jumped the champs before the champs could get the jump on them. After a quick brawl around the ring the challengers focused on Shoko Nakajima. Lee kept finding spots to bite her while Matcha German Suplexed Hyper Misao away. The two were close to victory after they gave Nakajima a Double Superplex but Misao came to the rescue hitting her signature moves to the two of them. Matcha was then taken out by Nakajima’s Topé Suicida while Misao gave Lee the Hypermi Returns. With the coast clear, Nakajima finished Lee off with the Diving Senton for a successful title defence.
Nakajima said she wants to fight them again and again because she wants to bring the tag titles to Thailand and Singapore along with the rest of the world. Misao repeated their team’s goal as champions is to experience different wrestling styles from different countries to improve themselves even more. It might be early to set up another title defence but if there is any team around the world who think they can beat Kyoraku Kyomei then Misao wants them to come over and challenge them. Matcha said every blow she took from the champions was tough but she is grateful they fought her with all of their might. Lee said the match is a big step for pro wrestling in Singapore. From now on she wants to make history and next time she and Matcha get a shot at the titles they will bring them back to their home countries.
A special 3 Way match was put together for Yuki Arai because she has never taken part in such a match before. Her two opponents were the other two Yuki’s on the TJPW roster! So when the match began everyone got “Yuki” chants, even the referee Yukinori Matsui. Arai turned down offers from both Yuki Kamifuku and Yuki Aino to team up so the two of them attacked Arai together instead. The match eventually went back to being every Yuki for herself. Aino got the better of Arai with the Bulldog Headlock but when she was getting ready to do the Venus DDT, Kamifuku jumped in and gave Aino the Reverse Famouser to steal the win. The three of them embraced after the match and all left together as Yuki Yuki Yuki. Backstage Yuki said Yuki will win next time. Yuki thought Yuki did good while Yuki thought Yuki did really good. They also all agreed that they like Yuki more than mint chocolate.
Raku still has the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title to sleep tight with tonight after she defeated Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana in her first defence. The match began with Raku handing Diana an eye mask to help her sleep but it was just a trick to roll her up for a nearfall. Diana took control with fast paced moves including a Topé Suicida outside the ring. She then used a Shoulder Lock submission in an attempt to wear Raku down but it didn’t work. Raku fought back with Dropkicks and Poppo Chops until she got the Doctor Yellow on her opponent to get the victory. Raku said it was great to fight Diana and fell something in common with her so she has a new dream to wrestle Diana in Malaysia next time and defend her title around Asia. Diana said this will not be the last time she will be in TJPW. The Phoenix will rise again!
Takoyaki defeats Kushikatsu in the TJPW RUSH! Match! With only a 5 minute time limit in every match and 2 Count Pins needed to win everyone had to be quick to win but careful not to drop a fall. Rika Tatsumi got things off to a good start for Team Kushikatsu when she countered Uta Takami’s Koala Clutch into a Dragon Backbreaker for the first elimination. Suzume came out next and fought Tatsumi to a time limit draw which meant 1 Count Pinfalls were now in effect for overtime. Suzume tried to cradle Tatsumi but it was countered for the one count giving Tatsumi her second elimination. Arisu Endo was the one to take out Tatsumi who was too tired to make it three for three. She tricked Endo into giving her a one minute break to catch her breath only to ambush her with a Hip Attack. Endo got mad at being tricked and fought back, ultimately pinning Tatsumi with the Waterwheel Drop. Pom Harajuku wanted to sing with Endo because today is Children’s Day and they are all children. Again it was a trick to make Endo drop her guard. Endo fought back with a Neckbreaker but Harajuku reversed the pin to get the 2 Count on Endo. Next up, Harajuku and HIMAWARI fought each other using toy flags and HIMAWARI’s hair. HIMAWARI blew the flag away, dodged the Pom de Justice and pinned Harajuku with a Roll Up. She took things more seriously once Haru Kazashiro showed up. They went back and forth until the 5 minutes ran out. In overtime Kazashiro escaped from the Crab Hold and Cradled HIMAWARI for the One Count needed to eliminate her. At this point Miu Watanabe was the last one left on Team Kushikatsu and she had three opponents to beat in order to win. She eliminated Kazashiro with a Power Slam and kept Giant Swinging Shino Suzuki around and around until Suzuki gave up. That brought the match down to a final battle between Mizuki and Watanabe. Mizuki was also given a spin around in the Giant Swing but she fought back and held on until they reached the time limit. With a One Count Pinfall now needed to win the two were hesitant to make any mistakes. Mizuki ended up getting the better of Watanabe and hit the Whirling Candy out of nowhere to get the win. Team Takoyaki were rewarded with a grand prize of various Osaka desserts.
A brand new referee name Fumirin will make her debut on 11th May. She said that being a pro wrestling referee has been her dream since she was a child. She also has a background in Rakugo storytelling.
The next time TJPW will be in Osaka is on 17th August for the semi finals of the Tokyo Princess Cup.

DDT “SENDAI NEW LEGEND 2025 ~SASA KAMABOKO~”, 04/05/2025
Miyagi Yume Messe Miyagi
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Hideki Okatani defeted Kazuma Sumi with the Vertical Drop Brainbuster (6:43).
2. 3 Way Match: Toru Owashi defeated Danshoku Dieno and Yuni when Owashi pinned Yuni with La Magistral Cradle (7:45).
3. Daisuke Sasaki, MJ Paul & Ilusion defeated Makoto Oishi, Akito & Yukio Naya when Sasaki submitted Oishi with the Crossface Lock (10:36).
4. Special Tag Match: Kazusada Higuchi & Yuya Koroku defeated Jun Akiyama & Kazuki Hirata when Higuchi submitted Hirata with the Claw (10:41).
5. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Chris Brookes, Antonio Honda & Takeshi Masada when Ueno pinned Honda with a Japanese Leg Roll Clutch (14:41).
6. Special Tag Match: MAO & KANON (w/ KIMIHIRO) defeated HARASHIMA & Daichi Sato when MAO pinned Sato after the Alien Love Call (14:27).
The King Of DDT 2025 is beginning in two days time so this show was the last chance for everyone to get ready for the tournament. KANON felt the need to act as a shield for MAO against the barrage of kicks from HARASHIMA & Daichi Sato. Once he collapsed he was filled with regret he wasn’t able to protect MAO more. But Strange Love Connection rebounded and used their new tag finisher called the Alien Love Call to win. The move is KANON’s Modified Facebuster but with MAO joining in to add more rotation to the victim taking it. After the match MAO told the Miyagi fans he will be back as soon as next week because the Best Of The Super Jr. tour will be stopping by and he’ll be competing on it. He wants DDT fans to come see the show to make his match more of a rivalry against New Japan.
Tension is building up between Yuki Ueno and Antonio Honda for their 1st Round match. During their faceoff in Match #5 Honda gave Ueno the Tenzan Tombstone Driver and tried to pin him with the Japanese Leg Roll Clutch. However Ueno reversed the move and used it to pin Honda instead. Earlier in the match SCHADENFREUDE International brought in a kid from the crowd to take part in their tower spot on To-y. The other members of The 37KAMIINA felt the need to join in too.
For the second day in a row the Strange Love Connection interrupted NωA Jr.’s opening performance and took it over so KIMIHIRO could rap for the audience.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GOLDEN WEEK FAN APPRECIATION DAY 「EAST」”, 03/05/2025
Saitama Kasukabe Fureai Cube
374 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Yoshiko Hasegawa & Chika Nanase defeated Miu Watanabe & Uta Takami when Hasegawa submitted Takami with the Muffler Hold (10:23).
2. Yuki Arai, Moka Miyamoto & Shino Suzuki defeated Wakana Uehara, Kira Summer & Ivy Steele when Arai submitted Steele with the Scorpion Death Lock (8:37).
3. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Rika Tatsumi & Toga when Aino pinned Toga with the Venus DDT (11:12).
4. Matcha, Alexis Lee & Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana defeated Mizuki, Pom Harajuku & Arisu Endo when Diana pinned Harajuku with the DN (11:41).
5. Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Raku defeated Yuna Manase, Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko when Misao pinned Neko with the Hypami Returns (11:39).
6. VPW Women’s Title: Viva Van defeated Yuki Kamifuku (c) with the Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex (7:15)
*Yuki Kamifuku fails in V4. Viva Van becomes the 2nd VPW Women’s Champion!
7. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) defeated HIMAWARI with the Ring A Bell (15:16).
*V4 for Suzume.
Suzume is quickly catching up to the International Princess Title defence record. Today’s win over HIMAWARI is her fourth defence since becoming champion at the start of the year. She avoided HIMAWARI’s new finishing move the Sunflower Tempest and used the corner to get her opponent with a Facecrusher and then the Ring A Bell to win. HIMAWARI said she is frustrated to lose after winning the No. 1 Contendership because she gave it her all and couldn’t beat Suzume. But she thinks the experience will help her take a step forward on an emotional level. She’ll train more so next time she challenges for a title she will win it!
In the ring Suzume praised HIMAWARI for establishing her own unique style from the beginning and having everything that Suzume does not have. As IP Champion Suzume wants to make Tokyo Joshi Pro known to the world just like her seniors who paved the way for her. Yoshiko Hasegawa then entered the ring. Back when she announced her plans to retire in March she said she wanted to challenge Suzume for the IP Title. Her idea received some criticism at the time which made her reconsider. But with only a short time of her wrestling career left, Hasegawa decided to be selfish and make the challenge. She asked the fans to call her name if they will support her challenge and they did. Suzume said she would have accepted the challenge no matter what others think and she will do her best to beat her.
There is a new VPW Women’s Champion after Viva Van defeated Yuki Kamifuku. It’s been a while since the two were together and Kamifuku couldn’t help but exclaim how much Van’s strikes hurt her. Kamifuku found her rhythm and got a nearfall from doing a Superplex followed by a Reverse Famouser. But Van ended up countering the regular Famouser and dropped Kamifuku with the Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex for the three count. Van said she’s been fighting all her life and didn’t come back to TJPW just to be someone else’s shadow. She won this championship for Vietnam and has become the first Vietnamese wrestler to win a title in Japan. Kamifuku said it is great to see an Asian girl like Van working hard so even though she isn’t happy she lost, she feels relieved to see the belt is now in Van’s care. It’s the end of the Asian Double Crown but Kamifuku still holds the Queen Of Asia Title. She hopes she is the catalyst of TJPW bringing in wrestlers from across the Southeast Asian region more often.
Kyoraku Kyomei have an important Princess Tag Team Titles defence coming up so they realized the best way to conserve their energy is to sleep more often. They got Raku to bring a blanket to the ring for the three of them to sleep under in the ring but it was all a trap so they could use it as a weapon on Yuna Manase. But Manase used her power to break free and Mahiro Kiryu had to apologise on their behalf for bringing the blanket into the ring. Manase helped Haruna Neko to Power Bomb Hyper Misao but Shoko Nakajima broke the pin. Raku got Manase & Kiryu out of the ring so Nakajima could dive onto them. That left Misao to pin Neko with the Hypami Returns.
After the match the SEA trio of Matcha, Alexis Lee & Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana entered the ring to stand in front of their champion opponents. Matcha & Lee got into a little fight with Kyoraku Kyomei. Meanwhile Raku wanted to shake Diana’s hand and make a Good Night pose together but Diana turned her down. Nakajima said a successful defence against Matcha & Lee will be used as a stepping stone for Kyoraku Kyomei to defend their titles abroad even more. She wants to show the challengers she is the Big Kaiju while Misao will prove to them that she is a hero! Raku heard that Malaysians sleep a little longer than Japanese people but she wonders if Diana hasn’t been able to sleep because she is too excited to be in Japan? If that’s the case then Raku wants to have lots of sweet dreams with her.
The SEA wrestlers had a good start in the ring by winning their first match of the long weekend. Matcha used a Saito Suplex on Mizuki, Lee threw Arisu Endo aside with a German Suplex and Diana pinned Pom Harajuku with a Modified Neckbreaker called the DN. Diana said she is happy to debut in TJPW because Japan is the leading pro wrestling country in Asia. Lee thinks the three of them make a good team together. Matcha wants to keep the momentum going so all three of them can head home each carrying a championship belt.
The trainee Konatsu will make her debut on 1st June. She was originally introduced to fans back in October 2024. Since she is from Hamamatsu City in Shizuoka her debut match will be at the nearby Chunichi Hall in Nagoya on 1st June. She told the fans she will do her best for the once in a lifetime debut match close to her hometown.
The next “TJPW INSPIRATION” show will be held on 28th June at TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi. It will be TJPW’s first show at the new venue. The first match announced is Tae Honma & Miyuki Takase Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami.

Yokohama Radiant Hall

1. Special Single Match: Kazusada Higuchi defeated MJ Paul with the Claw Hold (8:04).
2. Danshoku Dieno & Antonio Honda defeated Toru Owashi & Kazuki Hirata when Honda pinned Hirata with the Japanese Leg Roll Clutch Hold (11:18).
3. Special Tag Match: HARASHIMA & Akito defeated Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada when Akito pinned Masada with a Modified Samson Clutch (14:04).

*V1 for DAMNATION T.A.
Today didn’t turn out well for NωA Jr. Their opening show performance was interrupted by Strange Love Connection so KIMIHIRO could take it over and perform a rap for his team. Then in the main event NωA Jr. lost their rematch against DAMNATION T.A and failed to regain the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. The finish came when Hideki Okatani hit Shunma Katsumata with the Skewer-Style Claymore and then pinned him with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster. Both Yuni & Kazuma Sumi aren’t going to let the result get them down. Sumi said NωA Jr.’s motto is “turn negativity into positivity. Yuni agrees and promised they will remain cheerful, energetic and positive as they work towards their concert in December.
After the match Yuki Ueno & To-y entered the ring to pick up Katsumata. The three of them then challenged DAMNATION T.A for the KO-D 6-Man Tag Titles as The 37KAMIINA. First, Daisuke Sasaki refused so To-y tried to convince Ilusion. When Ilusion also refused Ueno started arguing with him and the two brought up that Ueno was Ilusion’s coach back when DDTeeeen!! was around. Humbled by the confrontation, Ilusion accepted the challenge and accused Ueno of abandoning the DDTeeeen!! wrestlers. Ueno said if Ilusion gets too cocky again he will make him pay the penalty.

BASARA “BASARA 277 ~UTAGE~”, 30/04/2025
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
??? Fans – Unannounced
1. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block A – 2 Count Fall Rules: Takumi Tsukamoto defeated Lil’ Kraken with the Brainbuster Slam (5:12).
2. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block B – 2 Count Fall Rules: Daiki Shimomura defeated Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi with a Missile Dropkick (2:54).

6. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block B – 2 Count Fall Rules: Ryota Nakatsu Vs Minoru Fujita ended in a Draw after a Double Pinfall from an Inside Cradle (5:03).
6a. Overtime – 1 Count Fall Rules: Ryota Nakatsu defeated Minoru Fujita with a Cradle (0:04).
7. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block A – 2 Count Fall Rules: Keisuke Ishii defeated Ryuichi Sekine with a Jackknife Power Bomb (6:43).
8. Chouten ~Itadaki~ 2025 – Round 1 Block B – 2 Count Fall Rules: FUMA Vs Ayumu Honda ended in a Time Limit Draw (10:00).
8a. Overtime – 1 Count Fall Rules: FUMA defeated Ayumu Honda with an Arm Bar (1:21).
After taking a year off the Chouten ~Itadaki~ returned for 2025 with an opening round full of shortened matches to encourage wrestlers to go at a sprint pace. Every bout needed only a 2 Count Pinfall to win. There was also a 10 minute time limit with any draws going into sudden death overtime where just a 1 Count Pinfall won the match. FUMA and Tomoki Hatano both made it to Round 2 by reaching the time limit and winning in extra time. Ryota Nakatsu and Minoru Fujita ended up pinning each other from an Inside Cradle so even though it wasn’t a time limit draw, they still went into overtime rules. Fujita very quickly went for the Samson Clutch but Nakatsu blocked it and say on top for the 1 Count Pin. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi used a Judo Master doppelganger to distract Daiki Shimomura but his plan didn’t work in the end.
The 2nd Round matches on 14th May will be Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Daichi Kazato, Isami Kodaka Vs Keisuke Ishii, Daiki Shimomura Vs Tomoki Hatano and Ryota Nakatsu Vs FUMA. Nakatsu accused BASARA of coming up with a conspiracy to stop him from winning the tournament because he had to fight Minoru Fujita instead of KUBITO (who was too injured to compete). He would like to have a rematch with Fujita under normal rules though. Hatano admits he was saved by the rules today and he remembers fighting Shimomura before. Shimomura doesn’t though.
FUMA said he will treat his Round 2 match with Nakatsu as if it was for the Union MAX Title itself. Kodaka remembered when he was invading Ganbare☆Pro he thought he would cross paths with Ishii but never did. They did have a tag match against each other last year but that was long after Kodaka was an enemy of GanPro. Ishii has never beaten Kodaka in a singles match so he is only focused on that instead of any inter-promotional feud. Tsukamoto is confident he will beat Kazato without needing a gameplan because his previous wins against him were all done with feeling instead of strategy. Kazato normally thinks Tsukamoto is scary but for some reason he thinks he is looking cute lately so he isn’t worried about fighting him.

3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: HARASHIMA, Tomoya & Noriyuki Yoshida defeated Danshoku Dieno, Yuya Koroku & Kazuma Sumi when HARASHIMA pinned Sumi with the Somato (10:24).

5. Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & To-y defeated Jun Akiyama, Yukio Naya & Daichi Sato when Ueno submitted Sato with the Blackout Sleeper (16:20).
6. STRANGE LOVE CONNECTION Vs Harimao!: MAO & KANON defeated Kazusada Higuchi & Yuki Ishida when MAO pinned Ishida with the Iai Kick (17:28).
KIMIHIRO cannot get to DDT quickly enough because Strange Love Connection do not know how to close out the shows without him. When MAO & KANON won in the main event they struggled to put together a good babyface promo for their victory speech. KANON tried putting over the local food in Hokkaido and asked MAO if they should talk about hearts or something. Shunma Katsumata had to interrupt them to get the promo back on track so the show could end and everyone could go home. MAO & KANON still couldn’t figure out what to say so Katsumata ended the speech for them.
Tomoya is currently a city council member of a nearby municipality in Hokkaido so was allowed to make a ruling for his match. There is a wrestler in the match who is known for exposing his backside in public and Tomoya would not tolerate it. Therefore he prohibited the wrestlers from exposing their butts during the match. That didn’t stop Danshoku Dieno from getting his costume pulled down and forcing the other wrestlers to get thrown face first into his backside anyway.
The second half of the Sapporo Marathon Death Match took place with Akito and Kazuki Hirata starting off tied at 4 points each. Hirata thought things were going to turn out differently today but Akito scored 8 uninterrupted points in a row by either beating Hirata with submission moves or by putting on the Hirata GO! Glasses. Hirata was also counted out at one point and had to be guided back into the ring by HARASHIMA. Hirata then came up with a plan to trick the ref into thinking Akito was cheating so points would be deducted from his score. The plan worked with Yukinori Matsui tricked into thinking Akito was doing Low Blows and attacking Hirata with a chair. Hirata also completed his dance to score 5 points and take the lead for the first time this weekend. However during a ref bump Akito placed a chair over his head, tricking Matsui into thinking Hirata cheated right before the match ended. The DQ meant Akito won by a single point once the total scores were counted up. Akito thinks the stipulation was a fun idea and would like each region to have their own unique match rules. Hirata thought it was stupid so Akito told him to come up with his own ideas for when DDT returns to Sapporo this September. He’d rather leave Match #2 on the card to the Hirata’s of the world anyway.
Yuni got a little bit of payback on Ilusion for losing the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles to him yesterday. Today in a singles match Yuni overcame Ilusion’s cheating by using one of the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Title belts as a shield to block a Low Blow. Yuni then went on to win with a Swinging DDT. He challenged Ilusion to a rematch between NωA Jr. and DAMNATION T.A for the 6-Man Tag Titles but Ilusion said it is way too early to do that. Ilusion also claimed that Yuni’s win today is tainted because he had to cheat to beat him. Those fake idols don’t have any Rock ‘N’ Roll in them! The situation is only going to get more confusing because Shunma Katsumata is already trying to get The 37KAMIINA the next title shot even though he is also with NωA Jr.

3. Special 6-Man Tag Match: Jun Akiyama, Noriyuki Yoshida & Daichi Sato defeated Kazusada Higuchi, Tomoya & Yuki Ishida when Akiyama pinned Ishida with the Exploder Suplex (10:56).
4. MAO & KANON defeated Yukio Naya & Yuya Koroku when KANON pinned Koroku with the Modified Facebuster (11:01).
5. Special Single Match: Danshoku Dieno defeated HARASHIMA with the Gaydo Clutch (12:33).
6. SCHADENFREUDE International Vs The 37KAMIINA!: Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada defeated Yuki Ueno & To-y when Brookes pinned To-y with the Praying Mantis Bomb (20:53).
At the end of the show Chris Brookes & Takeshi Masada announced that DDT will return to Sapporo Sun Plaza for a doubleshot on 14th & 15th September. The two of them wanted SCHADENFREUDE International to close out the show properly but they were missing Antonio Honda & Masahiro Takanashi. So Brookes asked for someone in the audience to join them in the ring. A fan named Megumi from Asahikawa in Hokkaido took him up on the offer and led the group’s catchphrase to end the show.
Danshoku Dieno seems to be feeling refreshed by his recent change in wrestling style. He was able to beat HARASHIMA fair and square without having to do too many lewd things. He still pulled down his costume to do the Gaydo Clutch but other than that Dieno’s victory was pretty clean. He admits he’s never had this many matches where he’s been able to express so much in the ring. While he is building up momentum with a winning streak he understands this will not be enough to survive against Minoru Suzuki next month. To beat him Dieno will have to chop off Suzuki’s neck! HARASHIMA ended up remembering feelings from the past thanks to this match against “Strong Dieno”. He looks forward to watching Dieno Vs Suzuki. Also if he ever gets a rematch with Dieno he wants it to be at an important event rather than on short notice like today.
KANON is still using the Vietnam Driver II to win matches but he no longer calls it by that name because it originally came from Daisuke Sasaki.
The Sapporo Marathon match between Akito and Kazuki Hirata is only at the halfway point. The second half will take place on tomorrow’s show. Today it ended with a 4-4 draw after 10 minutes. Akito scored points for making Hirata give up while Hirata caught up to him thanks to the points he got for putting on his Hirata GO! glasses. There ended up being a role reversal in the final minute but all it did was cancel each other out. Remember they can also score 5 points for completing the Hirata dance and lose 2 points for making a foul.
According to Ilusion the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles are back where they belong with DAMNATION T.A. After beating NωA Jr. for the titles, Ilusion said the belts are now proof of DAMNATION’s power. He also said “Fuck you” to Sapporo as part of his victory speech. Shunma Katsumata quickly made moves to get a shot at reclaiming the titles. This time however he will do it with the other remaining members of The 37KAMIINA. Both Yuki Ueno & To-y seemed to be unaware that Katsumata just held the titles with NωA Jr. but they still want to be champions so they agree with his plan. However Ueno paused to ask Katsumata if he likes being with NωA Jr. more than The 37KAMIINA? Katsumata said he loves both groups and wants to win the titles with Ueno & To-y.

7. Mizuki, Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Miu Watanabe, Yuki Arai & Moka Miyamoto when Mizuki pinned Miyamoto with the Diving Foot Stomp (14:07).
For her first match in Japan as a full time pro wrestler, Yuki Arai was announced as the “Genius Girl” with SKE48 no longer attached to her nickname. She was on the losing side of the main event though. Her & Miu Watanabe were taken down by Daisy Monkey so Mizuki could pin Moka Miyamoto with the Diving Foot Stomp. Suzume & Arisu Endo were really happy because today was their first time wrestling in Hokkaido (although Suzume went there with Tokyo Joshi Pro one time previously as a trainee). Watanabe & Miyamoto looked on the bright side and complimented Arai on her new costume.
Suzume knows her next challenger for the International Princess Title is HIMAWARI who is currently on a winning streak. Even before she became No. 1 Contender Suzume could see gleams in the eyes of the younger wrestlers and that is pushing her to keep defending the title. She promised not to let her guard down against HIMAWARI.

Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

5. Keigo Nakamura Send Off Match ~ Special Single Match: Yuki Ueno defeated Keigo Nakamura with the Jul.2 (17:32).
6. Emergency Match: Shinya Aoki defeated Keigo Nakamura by Referee Stoppage with a Shoulder Lock (1:11).
Today was Keigo Nakamura’s farewell match before he starts his indefinite excursion overseas. His send off match was against Yuki Ueno and he had most of the D GENERATIONS wrestlers all around ringside watching him on. Ueno won the match as expected but Nakamura’s day was not over yet. Ueno had a special present to give Nakamura and it was one more match, this time against his mentor Shinya Aoki! The bonus match didn’t last long because Aoki quickly put Nakamura in a Shoulder Lock and the ref stopped the match to stop Nakamura from fainting. After that match Nakamura told everyone he will do his best and come back stronger. He does not know how many years he will be gone for but he wants everyone to please keep supporting him.
The new tag team Strange Love Connection has already gotten themselves a new member. A Tag Rumble took place where the winners would get a wish granted for them. MAO & KANON won the match then were greeted by a voice from heaven asking for their wish. MAO asked to be paid five times more than he’s getting now but the voice told him that would be impossible. He then asked for 80% of the money made from their portrait sales but that’s impossible too. MAO then thought about it and asked if his rapper friend MC KIMIHIRO can join Strange Love Connection? KIMIHIRO is better on the microphone than MAO or KANON. That way whenever the team gets to close out the show, KIMIHIRO can do it for them. The voice granted the wish but not until the start of May because DDT is going to Sapporo before then and the airfare to there is expensive. MAO already has a plan in mind. Strange Love Connection want to steal NωA Jr.’s opening act performance from them!
The O-40 Title had not been defended since Toru Owashi won it last October and he really wanted to get rid of it. He claimed that nobody has stepped up to challenge him and all of his acrylic stand merch has sold out so there was no point in him being champion anymore. However Daisuke Kiso told everyone Owashi’s merch hadn’t sold out so he still has a reason to be a fighting champion. Owashi went out and tried to directly sell his stands to the crowd until Honda followed him and fought him back to the ring. Back in the ring the Gongitsune spot led to Kiso and Yukinori Matsui accidentally embracing each other to romantic music. Honda rolled up Owashi for a nearfall. Owashi then went for La Magistral Cradle but Honda blocked it and pinned him down for the three count to win the O-40 Title! Honda put the message out that he wants everyone over 40 years old to challenge him, including Stone Cold Steve Austin. He promised to defend the belt until it becomes the O-80 Championship!
