Eight gets whittled down to four as the Tokyo Princess Cup went through the Quarter Finals today. In the main event it was champion against champion as Mizuki fought Shoko Nakajima. It was their first singles match against each other since the 2020 Princess Cup Final but they were both prepared for each other. Nakajima was able to prevent the Cutie Special from happening but Mizuki also knew when to block the 619 with a Dropkick. However Nakajima was persistent with the move and eventually found her mark with it. She also fought to lock in the Unmanned Local Train Hold but Mizuki got out of it with a rope break. She then got to do the Cutie Special from the top rope as a counter for Nakajima planning a top rope Hurricanrana. But Nakajima took over and used her signature moves one after the other before pinning Mizuki with the Diving Senton. After the match Nakajima told Mizuki the next time they have a singles match she will be wearing the Princess Of Princess Title at the end of it. Backstage Mizuki said she wants to get revenge for this loss so she hopes Nakajima wins the tournament to set up a rematch with the Princess Title on the line. In fact, she is willing to give her a title shot even if Nakajima doesn’t win the Cup.
The unexpected upset of the Quarter Finals… wait can it really be called unexpected? Maybe Miyu Yamashita finally winning the Princess Cup in 2023 and skipping the 2024 tournament made some fans forget the Cup has historically been Yamashita’s Achilles heel throughout her entire career. Well today was her rude awakening because Arisu Endo knocked her out in the Quarter Finals! Endo tried to make a gameplan around using her mobility to disrupt Yamashita’s moves but that didn’t work. Instead she had to rely on her guts and take every kick her opponent threw at her. Soon she was able to read Yamashita’s attacks but Yamashita fired back by escaping the Camel Clutch to give Endo a German Suplex. Endo was able to withstand more strikes and used a Waterwheel Drop to throw Yamashita into the turnbuckles. Endo then stunned her with a Super Kick and used the Ju no Okite to get the upset victory. Endo said she was flooded with memories of the past as soon as this match was announced. She remembered feeling helpless against Yamashita in their early singles matches and also remembered Yamashita directly beating her to take the Princess Tag Team Titles. But the Endo that is here today could not have existed without that past. She owes a lot to Yamashita because whenever they fight, Endo finds a passion she never knew she had coming out and it gets her super fired up. Yamashita was frustrated over the loss but she tells herself she’ll just need to switch her focus. She wanted to fight Rika Tatsumi in the tournament this year but Tatsumi was eliminated in the first round so none of Yamashita’s Princess Cup dreams came true this year.
Yuki Arai isn’t wasting time climbing her way back to getting another Princess Title shot. She also continues to have the upper hand on Wakana Uehara whenever they face each other. Uehara was softened up with Big Boots but she got to do a Brainbuster to set up the Banana Pillow. Arai reached the ropes but took enough damage that she couldn’t pin Uehara straight away after doing the Full Nelson Buster. Uehara went for a series of roll ups, ending with a Jackknife Pin to try and win the same way she did in Round 1. However Arai caught Uehara by the legs and turned her over into the Scorpion Death Lock, keeping it locked in until Uehara gave up. Arai said Uehara’s growth since last year’s tournament has been incredible. She wonders if they will face each other again at next year’s Princess Cup to make it three years in a row. Arai hopes she will win if that does happen. Uehara is disappointed she lost to Arai again but she is proud of the progress she has made. If Uehara can’t be the centre of attention this year then she will support Arai to go all the way instead.
The power of Miu Watanabe was just too overwhelming for Haru Kazashiro to handle. From Backbreakers to Batting Hammers to Power Slams, Watanabe broke her opponent off piece by piece. Kazashiro found some moments to fight back by targeting Watanabe’s arms but soon she found herself being spun around in a Front Neck Lock Giant Swing. Once Watanabe put her into the Reverse Paradox, it was all over for Kazashiro. Watanabe said she could sense how fired up Kazashiro was for this match and she will continue to grow even more from here. While Kazashiro acknowledges her improvement from last year’s tournament, she still doesn’t feel like she has caught up yet. She sees this match as an important milestone and her last summer as a high school student isn’t over yet.
A few hours after the show was finished, TJPW held the draw to set up the semi final pairings. Rise Shirai watched over the proceedings and the matches happening on 17th August are Shoko Nakajima Vs Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai Vs Arisu Endo. Watanabe thinks Nakajima has been performing at full speed ever since she won the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title so she had to work hard against her recently. She would also like to face Arai in the final because it will be a first time singles match for them. Nakajima talked about how well received their recent match in Texas was but the praise doesn’t make up for her being the loser of the match. As far as Nakajima is concerned, this match feels like the final. Arai has made the semi finals before but wants to beat Endo so she can finally reach the final. Endo has noticed how often Arai is present for TJPW’s important moments lately. She has never beaten Arai but knows she’ll need to stop her unstoppable momentum in order to make it to the final. She has the confidence to do it after beating Yamashita today.
Today was Ivy Steele’s final match with Tokyo Joshi Pro before she returns home to England. She has spent a year in Japan as part of a cultural program with her university back in Great Britain. She walked down to the ring with Kira Summer carrying both the British flag and Australian flag. She put Toga in the Vines Of Ivy submission hold but Chika Nanase broke it up. Summer threw Nanase aside with a Back Body Drop but Steele ended up getting pinned by Toga’s Rock Bottom. Backstage Steele said she was happy her last TJPW match was with people she loves but it’s a shame she wasn’t able to win. Summer suggested since they lost that means Steele will have to come back to Japan so she can get her win back. Steele pointed out she and Toga have a 1-1 singles record against each other. So don’t treat this as a goodbye, it is more see you later.
Pom Harajuku sat out in the front row for the beginning of the 3 Way Match because she wanted to see fireworks between Yuki Kamifuku and HIMAWARI. She eventually got involved but kept demanding the other two jump in the air like they were fireworks blowing up. HIMAWARI was happy to join in but Kamifuku wasn’t. When she was finally convinced to give it a go, Kamifuku was suddenly attacked by the other two and the match proceeded as normal.

7. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Diving Senton (15:19).
Round 1 of this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup is done and dusted, leaving us with 8 wrestlers left in the tournament. Today’s half of the bracket was headlined with the latest chapter in the series between Shoko Nakajima and Rika Tatsumi. From the moment the bell rang Tatsumi was on the attack and kept increasing the pressure from there. Whenever Nakajima started to get some momentum, Tatsumi would cut her off with Hip Attacks, Dragon Screws and Backbreakers. Nakajima finally found her breakthrough by giving her opponent an Avalanche Hurricanrana. Tatsumi tried using the Dragon Sleeper to slow her back down but eventually Nakajima caught her with the 619, setting up the Double Arm DDT and Diving Senton for the victory. After the match Nakajima mentioned Hamamatsu is said to be the city Godzilla crushed in the original movie and today it is where she crushed Tatsumi! This year she is more determined as ever because she is a double champion and cannot lose to anyone. That includes her 2nd Round opponent Mizuki. If anyone is going to become the hero of the summer Nakajima thinks it will be her instead of Mizuki! Backstage Tatsumi said she would have been in some kind of hell whether she won or lost so she would have preferred to win. She thinks today is the strongest that Nakajima has ever been. Nakajima brought up the previous times Tatsumi beat her so today feels like she has paid back a debt. She also proved a big kaiju can step over a dragon!
Yuki Arai was knocked down to the bottom of the mountain when she failed to win the Princess Of Princess Title at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25”. Today was the beginning of her climbing back up again when she beat a previous Princess Cup finalist Yuki Kamifuku. Arai was almost pinned with an Inverted Famouser but she avoided the Diving version of Kamifuku’s finisher. She then knocked her back with a Short Range Rookie Award and got the pin with the Finally. After the match Arai found Wakana Uehara standing in the distance watching and pointed out to her. The two of them will meet each other next in Round 2. Even though Arai beat Kamifuku she is feeling some regret over the result. Kamifuku still fights the same way she did in their previous matches but she is still a very tough challenge for Arai to beat. It reminds Arai she still has a long way to go. She’s expecting Uehara to be just as dangerous because she had a fierce look in her eyes. Kamifuku told reporters she really hates tournaments because the stress isn’t good for her heart. At least she can now go find other exciting things to do for the rest of the summer.
In the lead up to today’s show Hyper Misao revealed her motivation for entering this year’s Princess Cup. She wants to one day become the Tokyo Joshi Pro GM and winning the tournament will give her the immense power needed to achieve that goal! Unfortunately her plan suffered a major setback from the get go when Arisu Endo eliminated her from the first round. She tried to win using the Kingslayer followed by the Vanitas but Endo instead Super Kicked her and got the pin with the Ju no Okite. Endo thinks this is a huge win because she just defeated a hero! She has a goal of her own, to win the tournament and bring the Princess Cup trophy back to her homecoming show this September. Her dad paid her a visit yesterday just to wish her luck in the tournament so she is fighting for him and their family. She also thinks it will be really cool if she beats Miyu Yamashita in the next round. Misao is not giving up on her goal to become the GM. She is giving herself three years to make it happen and once it does she promises to make TJPW even more enjoyable for everybody.
The youngest entrant in the main tournament has advanced to Round 2. Haru Kazashiro found a counter to HIMAWARI’s Sunflower Tempest and turned it into the Fisherman Suplex for the victory. HIMAWARI is disappointed to be eliminated after working so hard to get past the Preliminary League. It was also her first singles match with Kazashiro in two years so she got to see first hand just how much her opponent has grown. Kazashiro was looking forward to this match so she could avenge her loss to HIMAWARI in the 2023 Next Generation Tournament. She is also feeling like this year is going to be her breakthrough year. With Miu Watanabe now waiting for her in Round 2, Kazashiro wants to build up her momentum even further so she can win the Princess Cup and challenge for the Princess Title.
Today is Mifu Ashida’s birthday so Mahiro Kiryu sang Happy Birthday to her. Then as soon as she finished the song she tried to roll her up for a pinfall. She ended up using that for her Apology spot but Yamashita interrupted it by kicking her in the back.
Maki Itoh missed the show due to illness so Match #2 became a 3 Vs 4 Handicap match without her. Watanabe was moved over to the other team ins Itoh’s place just so Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku were all together as the Love Triangle.
The show was also Ren Konatsu’s first homecoming match, even though she only started wrestling two months ago. She was disappointed to drop the fall in the opening tag match because she was teaming with her favorite wrestler Suzume as well as fighting for her hometown. Suzume told her she understands the frustration but the match they had also showed how much fun pro wrestling is. This is how wrestlers get stronger so next time they’re in the same match she wants to see Konatsu getting the win on her own.

6. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Mizuki defeated Yuki Aino with the Cutie Special (13:45).
With the preliminary league out of the way it is now time to start the Tokyo Princess Cup properly. Half of the Quarter Final spots have been filled after today’s set of matches and one of those spots goes to the reigning Princess Of Princess Champion. The main event began with Mizuki and Yuki Aino catching each other’s kicks and agreeing to let each other go. Mizuki relied on dives and Double Stomps so Aino climbed up the ropes too so she could do an Avalanche Side Suplex. She also pulled out a Side Walk variation of the Venus DDT but when she tried to finish her opponent off with the UBV, Mizuki escaped and used the Cutie Special twice to win. After the match Mizuki described the look in Aino’s sparkling, burning eyes and felt she couldn’t lose. Backstage she said Aino is always by her side for important matches so she’s happy to fight her today. Aino called herself the princess of summer going into this tournament and wants to believe her summer isn’t over yet. She is throwing her support behind Mizuki to win the Cup so she can challenge her again, hopefully for the Princess Title next time. Mizuki will be facing either Shoko Nakajima or Rika Tatsumi in the Quarter Final. She expects a tough match against either of them no matter who wins.
At the bracket drawing for the tournament, Raku tried to intimidate Miu Watanabe by posing like a triangle in front of her. Watanabe thought she looked like a traffic cone so Raku was inspired to bring one out for their match! Her plan was to briefly send Watanabe to sleep with a lullaby and then lead a trail of chocolate up to the entrance. There, Raku jumped out of her hiding spot and placed the cone over Watanabe’s head to block her sight and hopefully get counted out. Watanabe made it back to the ring pretty easily so Raku put the cone over her head again while appplying the Front Neck Lock. However Watanabe instead held onto her for a Giant Swing, making the cone fly off in the process. She then went on to pin Raku with the Tear Drop. Watanabe said she spent the cold season planning on getting back to the top again. Now that summer has arrived it’s time to put her plan in motion. Raku thought she bought enough chocolate to distract Watanabe and thinks she was outside the ring long enough for a 20 count. She ate some of the chocolate in the ring after the match and thought it was delicious so she isn’t too upset over losing. She also gave some of the remaining chocolate to the reporters during her post-match interview. Watanabe will face either HIMAWARI or Haru Kazashiro in the next round.
The big upset of Round 1 might have already happened because the first tournament match of the day saw Suzume lose to Wakana Uehara! The former International Princess Champion is now entering a slump because right after she lost the belt she ends up losing here too. Uehara blocked the Ring A Bell and used a School Boy for a nearfall. Then she kept up the pressure until she rolled over Suzume with a Jackknife Pin to get the three count. Uehara lost to Suzume in Dallas during the Texas tour so she felt she had to go all out today. She didn’t know what to do when Suzume countered the Banana Pillow so she had to rely on her heart and was already doing the Jackknife Pin by the time she realized what was happening. Suzume is disheartened because she has earned the trust of so many people and is letting them all down. She is confident she can get them all to believe in her again. There is also an opponent she had in mind if she won the tournament so this only makes her work even harder to get it. Uehara’s Quarter Final opponent is either going to be Yuki Kamifuku or Yuki Arai. She would like to avenge last year’s Princess Cup loss to Arai but she also likes wrestling with Kamifuku as partners and opponents.
Fumirin had a challenging time trying to control the 8-Woman Tag Match. Hyper Misao encouraged Yuki Arai to use the Hero Spray in order to learn that you cannot win big matches just by using normal ways. But Arai hesitated and refused to use it. When Misao used the spray on the other team, Fumirin grabbed it off her. Misao caught a kick from Arisu Endo and threw her foot into Fumirin to knock her down and sent the spray can falling to the middle of the ring. One by one everyone attacked each other with the spray can leaving everyone but Arai down on the ground. Arai hesitated to pick it up but decided to do it only for Endo to turn the can around and make Arai spray herself in the face with it.
There was originally supposed to be a fourth 1st Round bout on the show but Moka Miyamoto became ill and had to forfeit her match with Miyu Yamashita, meaning Yamashita already advances to the Quarter Finals on a bye. Yamashita was also moved over to a non-tournament bout today where she teamed with Mahiro Kiryu. However Maki Itoh was on the other team and Kiryu wanted to know how Yamashita still feels about her? Yamashita said she loves Itoh while Itoh told her to shut up. That made Kiryu worried that she caused a fight to happen between the two so she made Yamashita apologize with her while they both knelt on top of Pom Harajuku.
Earlier today Tokyo Joshi Pro invited the 16 participants for this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup to take part in the random draw for the brackets. It was one of the rare times when every single wrestler showed up and was able to get their bracket spot in person. They got to pick in order of their birthdays. That means it started with Hyper Misao because her birthday is 3rd January and went on all the way to the end with HIMAWARI because her birthday is on 18th December. The bracket is split into four blocks with the Round 1 matches split across the first two shows.

2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1C: Moka Miyamoto Vs Miyu Yamashita
3. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1E: Mizuki Vs Yuki Aino
4. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1G: Suzume Vs Wakana Uehara
It has been over five years since Raku and Miu Watanabe last had a singles match against each other. Raku is excited because the most fun she had from wrestling against Watanabe was the 3 Way Match they had with Haruna Neko this past January. It was the most fun because Raku won the match! She tried to intimidate Watanabe at the press conference by forming a triangle over her head with her arms. Watanabe thought she was trying to be a traffic cone.
Moka Miyamoto has a very big wall facing her in Round 1 against the returning Miyu Yamashita. She is feeling good after winning her two preliminary matches to qualify for the main tournament and will do her best to make this summer a long one. Yamashita has seen how much stronger Miyamoto has gotten but hasn’t felt that power yet. So she encourages her opponent to hit her harder otherwise she won’t be able to beat her. There is also someone in particular that Yamashita wants to beat in this tournament and that’s Rika Tatsumi! Their last singles match was in May 2021 at an empty Korakuen Hall because of the covid lockdown. She thinks Tatsumi’s matches have become special occassions and she’s noticed how crazier she has become since that last singles match. So Yamashita wants to decide which of them is crazier!
The reigning Princess Of Princess Champion has a big title match coming up in Ota Ward Gymnasium next week but Mizuki sees a vision beyond that. She thinks it would be amazing if the Princess Champion goes and wins the Princess Cup! It’s going to be hard but there are a lot of people in the tournament that Mizuki wants to fight. Yuki Aino wants to focus all of her energy to face the champion in Round 1. That’s if Mizuki is still the champion coming out of Ota Ward. Aino sees a lot of Princess champions in this tournament and she doesn’t want to be left out because she is the princess of the summer!
Funnily enough, during the Texas tour Suzume and Wakana Uehara wrestled each other in a tag match then afterwards talked about how long its been since their last singles match together. Suzume is not going to underestimate Uehara after seeing her advance through the preliminary league. She couldn’t make it to the final four last year so that is her goal this time around. Uehara was pinned by Suzume in Texas but is using this experience to help her win the Princess Cup. If she gets past Suzume then she has some familiar opponents waiting for her in Round 2. It’s either the woman who eliminated her last year or her Ober Eats tag team partner.

2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1D: Arisu Endo Vs Hyper Misao
3. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1F: Shoko Nakajima Vs Rika Tatsumi
4. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1H: Yuki Kamifuku Vs Yuki Arai
Shades of last year’s Next Gen Tournament still follow around some of the wrestlers. HIMAWARI expects Haru Kazashiro to be a tough opponent because she won last year’s Next Gen Tournament while HIMAWARI was knocked out in Round 1. But HIMAWARI has been working hard and wants to keep her momentum going into the Princess Cup. Kazashiro remembers losing to HIMAWARI in the 2023 Next Gen Tournament and she is an opponent Kazashiro hasn’t been able to beat yet. So the timing of this match is a big deal for her. She will aim to seize the last summer of her high school years!
There was a time when Arisu Endo disliked having to wrestle Hyper Misao because Misao would always cheat. Her opinion slowly changed over time and now Endo sees Misao as a really cool hero! She hopes Misao will fight fair and square this time, just like how Endo always does. Misao said she can’t lost here in Round 1 because the Texas tour reaffirmed what she wants to do in TJPW. She needs a lot of power to protect love and peace in TJPW so she figures the quickest way to get it is to win this tournament.
Shoko Nakajima believes she is the only one who can climb this mountain and win. She is currently a Princess Tag Team Champion and also the MLW Women’s Featherweight Champion. She also wants to face Mizuki in Round 2 for a champion versus champion match. But first she needs to become a kaiju that can step over a dragon. Normally Rika Tatsumi loves the summer but all of a sudden this steep mountain has appeared in front of her. She just heard about Yamashita targeting her and she has a score to settle with Nakajima after they fought each other to a time limit draw last December. And of course there is the chance she could face her beloved Mizuki in Round 2. However she wants to fight Mizuki in a rematch for the Princess Title after she wins the tournament so she is actually rooting for Yuki Aino to win and meet her in Round 2 instead!
While Yuki Arai has been skyrocketing up the company to main event Ota Ward next week, Yuki Kamifuku has been wrestling around Southeast Asia and having fun doing it. She now feels like if TJPW fired her today or tomorrow she would have no trouble surviving it. She wants to show the others that invincible people are the scariest. Suzume, Arai and Uehara all have matches they want to get in Round 2 but Kamifuku is going to be mean and not let them happen. Arai has been taking part in the Princess Cup every year since her debut. It helped her make progress one step at a time but this will be her first since graduating as an idol to focus solely on wrestling. She’s thankful to hear so many wrestlers want to fight her so she hopes to be at her strongest to surpass all of those opponents.

Although she was only officially part of Tokyo Joshi Pro for one year, Yoshiko Hasegawa touched many during her time there and was given a grand farewell for her graduation from pro wrestling. She was going to fight 27 other TJPW wrestlers for her retirement match! Just a few days earlier Hasegawa won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title so her last match also doubled up as a title defence. One by one she got to fight different opponents who all in their own way showed their thanks to her. Then somehow Tetsuya Koda got dragged into the ring by Rika Tatsumi. She choked and stomped on Koda so Hasegawa could then pin him with a Knee Drop. The pinfall counted and Hasegawa was rewarded with the first fall.
The match continued on as a Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls contest. Hasegawa was getting overwhelmed by the massive numbers disadvantage until Kaya Toribami suddenly came to her aid! She had teamed with Hasegawa when she won the Iron Man Title during the weekend and Yoppy told her it was as if they were sharing the belt with each other. That seemed to have stuck with Toribami and she helped Yoppy fight against Daisy Monkey. But while Toribami tried to hold back Arisu Endo, Hasegawa ended up taking the Ring A Bell from Suzume and was pinned to lose the second fall. Suzume was now the Iron Man Champion but Miu Watanabe quickly put her in the Giant Swing and pinned her down afterwards to take the belt from her. That title reign also only lasted for a few seconds because Mizuki did the Whirling Candy on Watanabe to pin her for the belt.
For the third and final fall Hasegawa had reached exhaustion so everyone on the other team let Shoko Nakajima fight her one on one. Hasegawa was able to get a nearfall with the Diving Double Knee Attack but Nakajima wore her down with Elbow Strikes before finishing her off with the Double Arm DDT and Diving Senton combo. After the match Nakajima talked about the times she went to go watch Ganbare☆Pro and Daisuke Kiso would always mix her up with Yoppy because they both look the same from behind. She also said Hasegawa has never been selfish and was always respectful to others, even to the most junior wrestlers like Ren Konatsu. Because Hasegawa chose to end her career with TJPW, Nakajima told her to live her life selfishly from now on.
Hasegawa said she is always reserved and polite with everyone because she is always scared of being disliked. But TJPW is not like that because everyone here is unique. That is why when she decided on her retirement she allowed herself to be very selfish. In return TJPW made her the most wonderful road to retirement and she is grateful for it. Her graduation ceremony then took place where she was given gifts by Toribami and HIMAWARI on behalf of TJPW. Then some comedians (Miku Aono among them) Hasegawa had worked with outside of wrestling congratulated her. After that several women from Actwres girl’Z posed with her for a group photo. There was also her friends from GanPro and other indies showing up like Riara, YuuRI, Banny Oikawa and Erina Yamanaka. Even her debut opponent Tsukasa Fujimoto made an appearance to be in the ring with her one last time. The final guest to stand with her was Teppei Arita who had been doing guest commentary for the show.
Yoppy closed out the show with a speech. She debuted in 2019 and a lot had happened to her over the last 6 years, like breaking her neck. But she is happy to be standing in the ring the way she is right now. She lost her Iron Man Title but has gained something even more important from TJPW. She promised to support the company as a fan from now on and hopes to see everyone again at the shows. She then received her ten bell salute and retirement call to end the show.
Daydream were without their sasumata poles today and apparently Kyoraku Kyomei are to blame. Before their 6-Woman Tag Match began Hyper Misao said that she and Nakajima got rid of the poles and they are able to beat Daydream without them. Daydream thought on the fly when everyone fought out of the ring up to the aisleway. Watanabe suddenly picked up Tatsumi over her shoulder and Tatsumi made herself into the shape of a human sasumata to be used as a weapon on their opponents! Back in the ring Yuki Aino gave Toga the Bulldog Headlock and Nakajima followed up with the Northern Lights Suplex to get the win.
Raku wanted to sleep in the middle of the ring during the 3 Way Match so Mahiro Kiryu and Shino Suzuki each tried to quietly pin her. She kicked out in her sleep so Kiryu then tried to Body Slam Suzuki on top of her. Raku rolled out of the way and then rolled back on top of Suzuki so Kiryu had to break the pin. She threw Raku’s pillow away and apologised to her because she looked so comfortable sleeping.
The final two spots in the Tokyo Princess Cup have been filled. Today’s qualification matches were the last in the preliminary league. Moka Miyamoto defeated Toribami to take one of the final places. She expected Toribami to be tough coming off of her recent title match with Nakajima and is feeling glad she won. Miyamoto has a lot to look forward to before the Cup begins, such as the Texas tour and her International Princess Title match at Ota Ward Gymnasium. Toribami doesn’t think she was beaten in technique or spirit. She wonders if she just got too excited today? That might also explain why she decided to help out Hasegawa during her retirement match because she wanted to see Yoppy win.
The other last spot goes to HIMAWARI although she had to get a taste of her own medicine to earn it. Pom Harajuku came down to the ring wearing large hair extensions to use as a weapon similar to how HIMAWARI whips opponents with her own hair. Harajuku tricked Fumirin into holding the hair so they could Clothesline HIMAWARI together. However HIMAWARI dodged the Pom de Justice and put Harajuku in the Half Crab Hold. It was right in the centre of the ring so Harajuku gave up. HIMAWARI was prepared for this match and is ready to become the woman of the summer! Harajuku said she put all of her energy into this match because she couldn’t wrestle Haruna Neko in the first round. By carrying Neko’s feelings with her it caused her hair to grow long! But she understands her hair became way too long so she is going to work hard just little by little from now on.
At the start of the show Hyper Misao announced there will be a repeat performance of “HYPE! 3” being held at Kitazawa Town Hall on 3rd August! She explained she wasn’t in perfect physical and mental condition for the show which led to her making decisions she would not have done under normal circumstances. Now she is back in perfect condition she wants to do the show again!
Sometime after the show ended, Mizuki was hanging out backstage with the Iron Man Title and also her trusty Pico Pico Hammer. Raku approached her and sang her to sleep with a lullaby in an attempt to win the belt. However Raku felt sleepy too and took a nap while the referee noticed the hammer resting on top of Mizuki’s sleeping body. He counted to three and declared the Pico Pico Hammer as the new champion! Then shortly after that Sanshiro Takagi found out what happened. He found the hammer, gave it the Stunner and pinned it to become the new champion.

6. Yuki Arai, Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Moka Miyamoto defeated Mizuki, Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Suzume when Arai pinned Mizuki with the Finally (15:36).
Yokohama played host to a big preview for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” where all of the champions faced against their challengers in an 8-Woman Tag Match. Before it began Hyper Misao complained about Daydream bringing sasumata poles to the ring again and Rika Tatsumi promised not to use them. But when Misao started using her Hero Spray on the other team, Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe broke their promise and used the poles to attack Kyoraku Kyomei with. Meanwhile Suzume got the upper hand against Moka Miyamoto, ending their exchange with a low range Ring A Bell. The match switched focus over to Mizuki against Yuki Arai. Others still got in the middle of their fight and Arai ultimately took advantage of the situation. Miyamoto blocked Mizuki’s Cutie Special attempt and tried to give her the Korokan. Mizuki escaped from the move but left herself completely open to Arai hitting her with the Finally, scoring a big pinfall victory over her!
Arai celebrated her first win over Mizuki with the rest of her team. She always thought you shouldn’t challenge someone for a championship if you’ve never beaten them previously so today she can now see herself winning the Princess Of Princess Title at Ota Ward Gymnasium even more clearly. Miyamoto said that was her last preliminary match in Japan but she still has warm up matches coming up for the USA tour. Tatsumi & Watanabe pointed out that every summer is a Daydream summer because they always happen to be in some kind of championship match during this time of the year. The champions are now licking their wounds and regrouping. Shoko Nakajima promised that Kyoraku Kyomei will have a secret weapon of their own to combat Daydream’s sasumatas. Suzume will take this loss as a lesson to get through the USA tour. Mizuki wants to make a comeback from this spot they are in right now.
At some point during the day of the show, Riara found Sanshiro Takagi sitting backstage and suffocated him with a plastic bag to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title! So when she showed up for her match both Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami were confused to see her carrying the belt with her. Hasegawa ended up submitted Riara to win the tag match and therefore become the new Iron Man Champ! She said even though it is a singles title she couldn’t have won it without Toribami’s help so she would like to think they are sharing it. She also hopes to hold onto it long enough that she will get to defend it in her retirement match on Tuesday.
Round 2 of the Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League began today. This is the last stage before the proper tournament starts so whoever wins went through to fill in the final spots. Ivy Steele had the size and power advantage over Haru Kazashiro but the teenager knocked her down with a 2nd Rope Missile Dropkick and was able to pin her with the Fisherman Suplex. Kazashiro was happy to have the match with Steele because they haven’t crossed paths much before today. She now wants to make her summer a great one and this was her first step towards making it happen. Steele hoped she was going to win today because Yokohama Radiant Hall is where she made her Tokyo Joshi Pro debut. She thinks she focused too much on her future and wasn’t able to concentrate on today’s match. She also didn’t expect Kazashiro to have the strength to Fisherman Suplex her so only concentrated on countering her submission holds.
Wakana Uehara stamped her way to the main tournament by defeating Shino Suzuki. A stubborn Suzuki wanted to beat her with the Sleeper Hold but Uehara broke free and made her give up to the Banana Pillow. Uehara praised Suzuki for being the most reckless and hard working out of anyone in TJPW so she was happy to fight her today. They’re going to have a rematch in Houston next week so she’ll be focused on looking out for Suzuki’s reckless Sleeper Hold. Backstage Suzuki said she usually cries after losses like these but she realizes if she does that again in her third year as a wrestler she will never make progress. She really wants to change that because there is so much she knows she can do.
TJPW will be starting up a women’s pro wrestling class for beginners at their dojo this August. The Joshi Pro Wrestling Camp will have Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima as the two regular instructors with others filling in whenever they go wrestle abroad. The plan is to hold these classes on weekends when there are no TJPW shows on.

Earlier today Rise Shirai brought the eight remaining wrestlers in the Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League together to take part in a draw to determine who faces who in Round 2. The winners of these four matches will qualify for the actual Princess Cup, filling in the four remaining spots. The lottery came up with these four matches:
-. Moka Miyamoto Vs Kaya Toribami
-. Haru Kazashiro Vs Ivy Steele
-. Wakana Uehara Vs Shino Suzuki
-. Pom Harajuku Vs HIMAWARI
It has not been decided yet which matches will take place when. Two will be held at the 5th July show in Yokahama Radiant Hall and the remaining two takes place in Shinjuku FACE on 8th July. The match placements will take the rest of the show cards into consideration. For example maybe Moka Miyamoto will have another match with Suzume in Yokohama to build up their upcoming title match so that would mean Miyamoto’s qualifier against Kaya Toribami would have to take place in Shinjuku.

7. Mizuki, Hyper Misao, Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuki Arai, Mahiro Kiryu, HIMAWARI, Haru Kazashiro when Harajuku pinned Kazashiro with the Pom de Justice (12:21).
Today was Sayuri Namba’s graduation from Tokyo Joshi Pro. But before her last day with the company was done, Hyper Misao had a request for her in the main event. Misao asked Namba to do her own superhero introduction but it was all so Misao could stick a spray can in her hand and force her to blind the other team with it. Namba was too scared to stop and ended up spraying the can towards everybody. Mizuki & Yuki Aino brought the ring bell and hammer into the ring and held them out for Namba to officially start the match while Misao was pinning Haru Kazashiro. Namba rang the bell and Kazashiro kicked out at two. The match got more serious when Mizuki and Yuki Arai fought each other while HIMAWARI was able to handle what Misao was giving her. Misao blinded Kiryu with the spray and tagged out to Pom Harajuku. She screamed in Mahiro Kiryu’s face and Kiryu told her to shut up afterward. Instead of apologizing, she instead tagged in Kazashiro. The match broke down into all eight wrestlers fighting in the ring. Mizuki’s team got the upper hand with all four of them hitting signature moves on their opponents. Harajuku then gave Kazashiro the Pom de Justice to get the win.
Harajuku had tears of joy because she got to do the post-match winner’s call today. She invited Namba into the ring but Namba said Pom crying is going to make her cry too. Harajuku said she is sad Namba is graduating but she is doing it with a goal for the future and that will motivate Harajuku to push herself towards her own goals. Namba noticed that Harajuku was wearing the costume from her debut match seven years ago. She then talked about starting out in TJPW around the same time as when Harajuku, Kiryu and Haruna Neko were trainees so to her it is like they are all the same age. The time Namba spent in TJPW is a treasure she will cherish forever and she owes it to everyone in the company for making it such a sparkling time. She was gifted with a bouquet by Aino and Raku. Suzume and Kiryu then gave her a commemorative album. Kiryu wanted to wipe the tears away from Namba’s face but used a water-soluble tissue that left bits of paper behind so Aino had to carefully clean them off Namba. Everyone then gathered in the ring around Namba so they could all announce her name together to officially end her career as TJPW’s ring announcer. Nao Kakuta also appeared for Namba’s final group photo.
It’s been over a year since Daydream last teamed up together and they haven’t skipped a beat together. Rika Tatsumi thought it didn’t feel that long since they last teamed up but Miu Watanabe didn’t agree with her. What they do agree on is their chemistry was perfect as always. Tatsumi can see how much Watanabe has evolved away from her while Watanabe knows she can match up to Tatsumi’s needs better than anyone else. Daydream also used the sasumata poles to trap Shoko Nakajima again and Chika Nanase got caught in one this time too. Nakajima expected Daydream to do something unexpected and they exceeded her expectations today. Nanase worked hard to help her but Nakajima thinks she needs Misao with her to beat Daydream. She was asked by a reporter if she will come up with a countermeasure for the sasumata poles and she thinks it would be pointless to do so. Kyoraku Kyomei might bring a hidden weapon of their own or they might do the unthinkable and fight Daydream fair and square.
Suzume scored a clean pin on her upcoming challenger Moka Miyamoto. During their tag match the International Princess Champion countered the Korokan into a Backslide that moved into a low Ring A Bell. She then used a Flying Facecrusher followed by a full power Ring A Bell to score the three count for Daisy Monkey. She was happy to win the match by herself and get revenge for Miyamoto recently pinning her earlier this month. She was even happier to hear Namba announce her as the winner one last time. Miyamoto knows she is lacking a lot of things and said she will analyze them more heading into the title match.
There is a little sheep doll that Ren Konatsu clips to her belt and it caught Raku’s attention. She thinks it matches her outfit better so she took it off Konatsu and used it to power up her lullaby, sending Konatsu to sleep. She then used the doll on Maki Itoh while Shino Suzuki held her in place but the lullaby sent both of them to sleep too. Raku then accidentally turned the doll on herself, resulting on all four wrestlers napping in the ring. Fumirin counted a quadruple pin of everyone but they all woke up and kicked out at two. Raku then threw the doll out of the ring.
Yuki Kamifuku missed the show because of a foot injury. The 3 Way Match she was booked for instead became just Yoshiko Hasegawa against Uta Takami.
Despite a few delays the 1st Round in the Tokyo Princess Cup preliminary league has been completed in time. Today featured the last two matches of the opening round. Ivy Steele comes out of this competition with the biggest upset so far by beating Toga. It took Steele blocking the Rock Bottom and hitting a Snap Enzuigiri to Toga to get out of harm’s way. Steele then used a Spinning Pumphandle Back Drop to get the win. Steele said losing to Toga before prepared her for today and made her work hard for the victory. Toga thought she would win today but realizes that was a bit arrogant of her to think that way. In the other match Wakana Uehara made Kira Summer submit to the Banana Pillow. Uehara doesn’t know who to expect in Round 2 but she wants to beat whoever it is to qualify for the Princess Cup. Summer tried to be more aggressive than usual but it didn’t work this time. She wants to continue getting more aggressive so the next time she will win.
It was announced that TeaDK, the team of Chris Brookes & Emi Sakura will return to TJPW for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” on 21st July. Their opponents are to be determined.

7. Mizuki, Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Miu Watanabe, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Mizuki pinned Harajuku with the Diving Foot Stomp (13:43).
Since Haruna Neko was injured and unable to take part in her own homecoming show, some of the other wrestlers wanted to make her feel part of the main event. Pom Harajuku loudly congratulated her for the hometown show and then led Miu Watanabe & Raku in doing cat-like movements to try and attack the other team. That didn’t work and instead Mizuki pulled off one of Harajuku’s shoes and threw it over to the table Neko was sitting at. Mizuki & Daisy Monkey then brought their opponents over to Neko so she could scratch all of their faces. Harajuku tried to escape the punishment but was caught and given extra scratches. Later Harajuku tried to hit Mizuki with her shoe but missed and knocked out Yukinori Matsui instead. Watanabe held Mizuki in a Head Lock and Harujuku swung her shoe again but Mizuki again dodged it and Watanabe got hit instead. Mizuki grabbed the shoe and threw it away while Suzume & Arisu Endo cleared the ring of their opponents. That left the ring clear for Mizuki to pin Harajuku with the Diving Foot Stomp. Neko joined the winning team to close out the show with them.
Match #5 featured the return of both Hyper Misao and Kira Summer so Misao wanted to fight fair against Summer. However when they shook hands to start the match it ended up being an ambush by Misao’s team. Kyoraku Kyomei then used the ring apron on the outside to wrap up Summer in the corner. The only problem is they also caught their own partner Mahiro Kiryu in the process. When the two wrestlers were freed, Kiryu then suddenly found herself on her own fighting against Summer, Yuki Aino & Yoshiko Hasegawa. She found time to apologise for getting caught in the trap. Misao later blinded Summer with a spray can and wiped out the other two with the I Am A Hero. Shoko Nakajima finished things off by pinning Summer with the Northern Lights Suplex.
Three qualifying matches in the Tokyo Princess Cup preliminary league took place on the undercard. Kaya Toribami defeated Chika Nanase by submission with the Bird Cage. She said she needed to take every opening Nanase gave her in order to win today. Nanase said she needs to develop more attacks and power beyond what her seniors expect from her. Shino Suzuki used a Belly-To-Belly Suplex to beat Uta Takami in a first ever singles meeting between the two. Shino admits she envies Takami for her cheerfulness and natural talent but she was able to beat her today because she worked hard. She’s thankful for Takami being a part of The Up Up Girls because she pushes Suzuki to improve. Takami also shares the same gratitude towards Suzuki. Finally, Haru Kazashiro used the Fisherman Suplex to pin Ren Konatsu. This summer is Kazashiro’s last as a high school student so she wants to grab every chance she can and qualify for the Princess Cup. Konatsu didn’t even expect she would get a chance to qualify because she only debuted this month. She is fired up to try and get her first win by herself but felt the difference in experience between her and Kazashiro, even if it’s only by two years.
Neko got to give a speech during the show and get a ring entrance filled with streamers thrown her way. She thanked everyone for attending the show and explained she wasn’t able to compete because of her knee injury (she would have faced Pom Harajuku in a Princess Cup qualifier today if she could).

6. MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Kaya Toribami with the Diving Senton (16:53). *V1 for Shoko Nakajima.
Close friends Shoko Nakajima and Kaya Toribami were given the headline spot on today’s show to fight each other for the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title. An early attack involving the ring post hurt Nakajima’s left arm and gave Toribami a target to lock onto. Nakajima had to struggle to get a rope break from the Birds Cage and still had the quick pace to turn things around with a Topé Con Hilo. Toribami matched her agility by taking a Springboard Hurricanrana and cartwheeling through it to land on her feet but when she went to the middle rope to do the Sento Choryu, Nakajima used the 619 to trip her off. Toribami kept fighting to stay in the match until Nakajima dropped her with the Double Arm DDT and hit the Diving Senton for the victory. Due to MLW’s convoluted taping and broadcast schedules this might be considered her first official successful title defence. The other one she had in America last month isn’t airing until tonight on MLW’s Youtube channel and is considered a separate show in kayfabe.
After the match Nakajima said she wished it last longer because she was having so much fun fighting Toribami. She also wants more time and energy to become an even stronger champion. After shaking Toribami’s hand and letting her leave the ring, Nakajima then called her tag team partner Hyper Misao to get in. Misao said she is now motivated to defend the Princess Tag Team Titles 100 times with Nakajima. However Kyoraku Kyomei’s speech was suddenly interrupted by Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe. The two of them got in the ring armed with sasumata poles and used them to trap Kyoraku Kyomei in the centre of the ring. Daydream weren’t going to let them go until they agreed to give them a shot at the Princess Tag Titles! Nakajima was confused because she remembers Tatsumi said Daydream had split up last July. Tatsumi denied that claim (she did say at the time she was done teaming with Watanabe but Watanabe never agreed to the split). Nakajima accepted the challenge because Kyoraku Kyomei wants to beat Daydream anyway. They all agreed to have the match at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” on 21st July. Backstage Tatsumi continued to deny to reporters that she said Daydream had disbanded last summer. Watanabe suggested to her they should use the sasmata poles on the reporters too.
Backstage Toribami said she was disappointed she couldn’t win her first challenge for a championship. She did a lot of mental training to prepare for it and she thinks it worked out well for her but Nakajima was just too strong for her. She now wants to build up towards another title match so next time she can beat her friend for the belt. Nakajima said she is not sure if she will be travelling to America for MLW in August but she thinks she will be there almost every month during the fall season. She is looking forward to facing new opponents and plans to bring other wrestlers from Tokyo Joshi Pro with her so American wrestling fans can learn that TJPW has many wrestlers who are as good as she is.
A familiar contender has emerged for the International Princess Title after the champion was unexpectedly beaten in a tag match. Moka Miyamoto stunned Suzume with the Zero Fighter Kick and then pinned the champ with the Korokan. She told Suzume that she has challenged for the IP Title twice before and was never able to win it. She wants a third chance to win the title she has wanted for so long and for it to happen in a big venue like Ota Ward Gymnasium. She pointed out that it was only champions who are automatically included in this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup which means she has to qualify for it. The tournament is taking place after “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” so her goal is to win the IP Title and qualify for the tournament as a champion. Suzume said every time she defends the belt it becomes more and more important to her. It’s reached the point where she doesn’t want to let it go. But she understands Miyamoto’s feelings and agreed to give her the title shot for 21st July.
Speaking of the Princess Cup, there was only one preliminary qualifier on today’s show because Uta Takami had a fever. Her match with Shino Suzuki was postponed so the HIMAWARI Vs Mifu Ashida bout got all of the attention to themselves. Ashida got to show off more of her abilities but HIMAWARI scored the victory when she pinned her with the Sunflower Tempest. Ashida was frustrated to lose such a big opportunity that was given to her. She is dealing with the loss by calling it a lesson in how harsh pro wrestling can be. HIMAWARI is excited to be one win away from qualifying for the tournament because she missed last year’s Princess Cup by wrestling in England instead. She is a summer girl and she wants to have a great summer by making sunflowers bloom!
Hyper Misao announced her return match from injury will be on 21st June. She also announced that Shoko Nakajima, Rika Tatsumi, Raku and Mahiro Kiryu will all be a part of “HYPE! 3” taking place on 27th June.
Both Yuki Arai and Arisu Endo will be getting homecoming shows later this year. Arai’s show in Kyoto will happen on 30th August while Endo’s show in Aizuwakamatsu City will be on 13th September. Arai pointed out that Mifu Ashida is from Kyoto too so she hopes the two of them will show everyone there how much they have improved. Endo told fans that Aizuwakamatsu City is really hot in September so she wants everyone to come prepared for the heat.
