The Youtube channels are ramping up the match uploads a lot lately. Today I noticed Tokyo Joshi Pro ended up putting up their entire 29th January show match by match out of order. So I decided to gather them altogether in one post and delete the earlier single entries to free up some page space. I don’t want entire pages of this blog to get clogged up with videos.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2022 WINTER ~KOBE PERFORMANCE~”, 08/01/2022 Kobe Art Center 234 Fans – Super No Vacancy

5. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Moka Miyamoto & Yuki Arai defeated Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Arai pinned Harajuku with the Finally (13:39).
6. Kobe Special 6-Woman Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Shoko Nakajima defeated Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku when Mizuki pinned Kamifuku with the Diving Foot Stomp (14:50).
Mizuki bounced back from her Ittenyon failure by becoming the hometown hero in Kobe and winning the main event for her team. She told the fans she felt pretty depressed after losing the Princess Of Princess Title match but getting able to wrestle in Kobe today made her feel like she blew all of her problems away. Shoko Nakajima had no problem teaming with The Magical Sugar Rabbits but they will be opponents in the Max Heart Tournament the next time they are in the ring together. Nakajima said she played with a lot of toys at the beginning of the year and she learned her tag partner Hyper Misao is an unbreakable one. Nakajima wants to be unbreakable too so Kyoraku Kyomei are aiming to go all the way. 121000000 are also aiming to win after reaching the final last year. Even though Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh already have the singles championships, they still think they have to get stronger as a tag team. Yuki Kamifuku is waiting on her drinking buddy Asuka to arrive before she plans anything for the tournament.
In terms of experience levels the Max Heart tournament already kicked off with an upset. Moka Miyamoto & Yuki Arai eliminated Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu in the opening round. The two rookies have been regular opponents against each other but joined forces to enter the tournament. It is already paying off but Arai doesn’t want to stop here. Miyamoto also wants to keep advancing but knows it will be a difficult task with Suzume & Arisu Endo as the next opponents.
Over the holidays Tokyo Joshi Pro asked the fans to vote on Twitter for the best TJPW matches of 2021. Every voter was allowed to choose three matches with points awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. 280 fans cast their vote which is nearly double the amount from last year. 115 matches had gotten votes overall but only the highest ranking matches will be featured in the upcoming “BEST OF TJPW 2021” DVD release (previous DVDs had either the Top 8 or Top 9 matches). A few matches in the Top 20 were tied with the same amount of votes.

The final Korakuen Hall show for the year in Tokyo Joshi Pro saw The Magical Sugar Rabbits retain the Princess Tag Team Titles against 121000000. The battle came down to Mizuki and Miyu Yamashita in the final minutes. Yamashita had Maki Itoh on hand to set up team moves but Yuka Sakazaki was there to get rid of Itoh until she was struck down with the Skull Kick. It was all up to Mizuki from there and she had Yamashita on the ropes after hitting a release Cutie Special. Another Cutie Special this time with the bridge held got Mizuki the win and MagiRabi’s first successful defence in their latest reign.
When the beaten challengers were leaving the ring, Mizuki called for Yamashita to come back. She said she was able to win today with Sakazaki’s help. She also brought up that it’s been a year since she she decided to join TJPW full time. She loves TJPW and wants to carry the company on her back for the sake of everyone who supports her. So although she hates fighting against Yamashita, she wants to challenge her for the Princess Of Princess Title! How could Yamashita refuse? She accepted the challenge and wants the match to happen on the 4th January Korakuen show! Mizuki was warned that the title is not easy to win because Yamashita will never let go of the belt. Sakazaki encouraged Mizuki to commit to the challenge because she is amazing. Later in the night Itoh made a request to Yamashita to put 121000000 on hold for the time being. The team is not splitting up, they are just on a break so Itoh can review her wrestling ability on her own. They will team again when she is ready.
Hikari Noa has broken out of the Up Up Girls hierarchy with her latest International Princess Title defence. She has now beaten both of her Up Up partners as champion and also now has the record for most IP Title defences! Miu Watanabe threw all her best moves including using the Laserbeam to block a Dropkick. Noa had to use the Blizzard Suplex off the top rope to cause the big shift in the match before pinning Watanabe with the regular Blizzard Suplex. One of Watanabe’s favorite idols once said hard work always pays off. The lesson Watanabe learned today is training hard is not the same as working hard. Noa called the match the toughest battle she ever had. The longer she holds onto the belt the more she doesn’t want to let it go. It puts more pressure on her but she isn’t afraid of anything anymore. Which is why she wants TJPW to have a championship that will allow her to have deathmatches! She’s annoyed that Hyper Misao gets to have a Hardcore Match in DDT next month instead of her but she at least appreciates the roster is becoming more open to doing that style.
The rookie Yuki Arai has made it her goal to wrestle against her seniors and do her best against them. That was proven today with her match against Rika Tatsumi. The veteran had the smart gameplan to work over Arai’s leg, forcing the idol to get desperate and risk fighting at a faster pace. But Arai put Tatsumi is danger with a deep Sleeper Hold she wouldn’t let go of until Tatsumi reached the ropes. Targeting the leg then paid off for Tatsumi when she dodged the Finally, took Arai down with a Dragon Screw and made her tap out to the Figure 4 Leg Lock. Tatsumi said by winning through determination she could feel both her own passion and also Arai’s spirit in the ring. She previously talked about being a spark that will cause a big bang and will leave it up to the fans to think if they saw it today. Arai feels a sense of accomplishment despite losing. It was a great experience and one she thinks might change her life. Tatsumi wants to fight her again when she is stronger. She thinks she will still beat her then, of course.
Last week Nodoka Tenma pinned Shoko Nakajima in the 10-Woman Tag match. She wasn’t able to repeat the result here. The closest she came was with a Lift-Up Back Flip but she couldn’t hit the Killswitch when she needed to. Nakajima recovered, hit the Double Arm DDT and won with the Diving Senton.
There was change in roles for Match #3. Yuki Kamifuku hates it whenever Hyper Misao makes new rules for her matches, so she came up with a new match of her own to give her a taste of her own medicine. The Happy Lucky Quiz had Kamifuku and Misao answering trivia questions. The first to get three correct would win. All of the questions were about Kamifuku and her family so the quiz turned out to be heavily rigged in her favour. When Misao started complaining, Kamifuku attacked her and a proper match broke out. Well I say proper but it ended up with both women spraying each other in the face with disinfectant. There was a scramble for pins and Kamifuku got the three count in the end with a Crucifix style cradle.
A rare result happened early in the show. Haruna Neko directly won a match! Maybe she’s finally figuring out how to put it all together. Yuki Aino, Nao Kakuta, Raku and Mahiro Kiryu did their things while Neko fought off Pom Harajuku. Neko rolled her way into hitting the Nekodebreaker to get the three count.
The Run-Up Bulldog Headlock is quickly becoming an effective finisher for Marika Kobashi. She was in trouble going against Suzume & Arisu Endo’s teamwork but Moka Miyamoto stood up to keep the match level. Suzume got rid of Miyamoto with a Facecrusher but Endo could not seal the deal on her own. That was when Kobashi pulled out the Bulldog for the victory.

There is sure to be a surprise or two happening somewhere between then so stick around during the winter.

Then you mix in all the histories between Mizuki and Maki Itoh as well as Yuka Sakazaki and Miyu Yamashita and you got a big main event to look forward to.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 AUTUMN ~KACHO GETSURO~”, 23/11/2021 Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall 150 Fans – No Vacancy
1. Yuka Sakazaki defeated Pom Harajuku with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (8:14).
2. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Raku and Arisu Endo when Nakajima pinned Endo with the Northern Lights Suplex (7:39).
3. Hyper Misao & Miu Watanabe defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Watanabe pinned Kiryu with the Tear Drop (10:22).
4. Mizuki, Hikari Noa & Marika Kobashi defeated Nodoka Tenma, Nao Kakuta & Haruna Neko when Noa pinned Neko with the Blizzard Suplex (12:46).
5. Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Suzume defeated Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino & Moka Miyamoto when Itoh submitted Miyamoto with the Itoh Punish (17:02).
With two days to go until the Korakuen Hall show, 121000000 are ready to beat The Magical Sugar Rabbits and win the Princess Tag Team Titles. If they do win, Maki Itoh promises to bring Miyu Yamashita somewhere to celebrate. She also joked that Suzume is cuter than Yamashita which crushed Yamashita’s spirits.
Some mind games are being played between Yuki Kamifuku and Hyper Misao. Kamifuku knows that Misao hates dance music so she made the sound team play loud club songs over the speakers. Luckily for Misao, Miu Watanabe quickly made her way over to the music guy and politely asked him to turn it down. She also got the pin on Mahiro Kiryu so the result gives Misao an edge over Kamifuku for their Korakuen Hall singles match.
Pom Harajuku came up with a cunning plan for her 3rd Anniversary match. She entered the ring wearing a referee uniform identical to Daisuke Kiso. She then put on a cardboard mask of Kiso’s face and forced Kiso to wear a costume of herself. Yuka Sakazaki came out and thought Kiso was Harajuku so she wrestled him while Harajuku was disguised as the ref until it was time to ambush her opponent. While the plan did work, the time came for Harajuku to fight Sakazaki fairly and Sakazaki won out in the end.
