It is the 5th Anniversary of Yuki Arai’s pro wrestling debut and she celebrates it by standing on top of the Tokyo Joshi Pro mountain. Her second Princess Of Princess Title defence was completed today with a victory over Arisu Endo, who was one of her first opponents in her debut match five years ago. Endo just couldn’t pull off the Ju no Okite to put Arai away with the move being either blocked or escaped from. After the latter happened, Arai got Endo with the Finally to the back of the head. She then hit the Rookie Award followed by another Finally to put Endo away. After the match Arai said Endo always calls her the main character of TJPW behind the scenes. Arai doesn’t like to say that but in her world, Endo is the main character too along with everyone else in TJPW. Backstage Endo said the match shows how much both of them have grown over five years because they got to fight for the Princess Title in the main event of Korakuen Hall today.

Back in the ring Arai talked about having her debut match five years ago. It was at an empty Korakuen Hall because of the covid pandemic but today she feels like she is in the best condition possible by defending the Princess Title in front of a big crowd. Yuki Kamifuku then entered the ring and told Arai she looks tired. When Kamifuku lost the Princess Tag Team Titles she wondered why she works so hard as a wrestler. She figured out it’s because it makes her feel beautiful! She isn’t really that invested in championships and hates fighting in singles matches but working so hard towards a goal feels like the perfect anti-aging technique for her. So for the first time ever Kamifuku wants to challenge for the Princess Title! Arai accepted and asked for the match to happen in Korakuen on 7th June. Kamifuku then asked to take a picture together with her while they’re both looking their youngest. Kamifuku admitted backstage she considered doing the title challenge two days ago when she looked in the mirror and noticed her skin was beginning to sag a bit. She also believes that Arai is already starting to rest on her laurels too much.

Daydream are now two-time Princess Tag Champions after they defeated The IInspiration, bringing the belts back home to TJPW. In the leadup to the match they made dolls of The IInspiration, claiming they were just doing it to be cute despite the dolls looking anything but. Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee were given the dolls as gifts before the match began but they threw them away and attacked the challengers. Late in the match Miu Watanabe saved Rika Tatsumi from taking the IIdolizer then she dropped Tatsumi onto both of them with a Human Bomb double team move. Lee and Watanabe then fought in the corner where Tatsumi used them as a stepping stone to hit McKay with the Flying Hip Attack. With McKay out of the way, Lee was given the Daydream Eternity and was pinned by Watanabe for the title change. The IInspiration later blamed the loss on TJPW being a dangerous workplace. They complained about having to wrestle after taking an 18 hour flight, getting paper streamers thrown at their heads, being hit in the face by Tatsumi’s butt, being swung around in circles by Watanabe and on top of it all feeling dehydrated the entire time. They wouldn’t mind coming back to TJPW but only if they have plenty of drinking water ready, everyone stops throwing paper streamers at them and they get to challenge for the tag titles again.

Watanabe said it feels like five million years since the last time they were Princess Tag Champions and Tatsumi wondered if everyone even remembers when they held the old white belts? Daydream felt the worldwide experience of The IInspiration while fighting them and they hope they will come back to Japan. Tatsumi now wants Daydream to go after the most defences record. Their first challengers then made themselves known when Mizuki & Uta Takami walked out. The two of them have continued teaming together since reaching the final of this year’s Max Heart Tournament. Takami has grown to love wrestling even more because of it so she wants to get a title shot with Mizuki. Tatsumi scolded Takami because she never gave her permission to team with Mizuki but she is willing to defend the titles against the two of them if it means the team will end after Daydream wins. However Mizuki said she is living in the present and wants to team with Takami to win the belts, even if it means stealing Tatsumi’s heart in the process. The title match will happen on 7th June.

Now is not the time yet for Haru Kazashiro to win championships. Suzume took Kazashiro’s best shot and was still standing. She kicked out of the Fisherman Suplex and escaped from the Straight Armbar to keep Kazashiro flustered. Kazashiro tried going for the Fisherman Suplex again but Suzume countered it into a Noshigami and followed up with a top rope Facecrusher. She then hit the Ring A Bell to remain as the International Princess Champion. She said she is happy to see Kazashiro reach the point to where they can fight each other in title matches now. Suzume is also very excited she will be going to her homecoming show in two days time as the IP Champion. Kazashiro called the match fun even though she feels like she could have done better. She gets frustrated when she isn’t able to show everyone what she learns in training and doesn’t get to fully enjoy her matches because of it. But today’s match confirmed to her who she is and it was the most fun she’s ever had because of it. She believes this confidence she gained will only make her stronger.

Something was on Hyper Misao’s mind when Kyoraku Kyomei faced K!SS// in a rematch from the Max Heart Tournament. Misao wanted to start the match off with Sakura Hattori straight away because she really wanted to fight the newcomer. However it seemed like she couldn’t tell that Hattori is the former Kaya Toribami who pinned her back in that tournament. Hattori’s ninja techniques were quickly foiled by Misao’s Hero Spray and Miyu Yamashita got blinded with it too. The match was decided under more skillful means when Hattori went back and forth with Shoko Nakajima. After a lot of dodged moves, Nakajima got the better of Hattori by countering the Kitcho Kagome cradle into a counter pin that held the ninja’s shoulders down for the three count. It wasn’t until Kyoraku Kyomei went back to the locker room that they realised Hattori used to be Toribami! Now they’re wondering how a bird suddenly turned into a ninja while they weren’t paying attention. Meanwhile Yamashita noted this was the first time K!SS// were teaming up since Hattori’s transformation. They’re going to continue teaming together and aim for a championship but Yamashita thinks they may need to rename the tag team to something more fitting for Hattori’s ninja aesthetic.

Toga collided with Ryo Mizunami from the get go with clashing Shoulder Blocks, Chops and Elbow Strikes. Mizunami blocked the Absolute Zero but still gave Toga encouragement to fight her harder. Toga was staggered after taking a Headbutt and some Lariats though. Once she was taken down with the Spear it was all over for her. Mizunami remembers her previous singles match with Toga around two and a half years ago. She’s happy to see Toga didn’t waste her time since them but still thinks Toga needs to forge her own path to get stronger. While Toga believes she has gotten stronger, she also thinks she has not closed the gap between her and Mizunami. She promised not to give up until she can definitely beat Mizunami!

The illusion that’s been crafted for Kakeru Sekiguchi & Mahiro Kiryu is at risk of falling apart. Kamifuku outright told them before their match that the two do not look alike! However after doing the opening exchange with Sekiguchi, Kamifuku lost track of who was who and couldn’t tell them apart any more. An attempt at twin magic was also played on Aja Kong but she solved the puzzle by slapping the both of them one after the other. She gave Sekiguchi the Back Drop but Kamifuku again confused her opponent for Kiryu and tried to pin her when she wasn’t the legal woman. The real Kiryu tried to capitalize but Kamifuku fought back and correctly pinned her with the Famouser. She can’t explain how she confused Sekiguchi for Kiryu other than they started looking more alike to her as the match progressed. Kamifuku will next meet Kong on opposing teams for Kong’s 40th Anniversary show. Kong said the “fake Mahiro” will be there too. She would have also booked the real one if she had the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title but without it, Kong has zero interest in Mahiro Kiryu because she’s useless.

Golden Week is a very busy time in Japan which was proven when Pom Harajuku led a train attack in her match and called it “Golden Week Traffic Jam”. She also used her loud screaming stop Mei Suruga from doing a rope walk move on Yuki Aino. Suruga then didn’t know what to do when Raku laid down in the ring and started to sulk instead of nap. She got better when Suruga lied down next to her and patted her on the head in apology. The three gremlin sisters then went crazy on Love Triangle until Harajuku took off her shoes and tried to fight off Mizuki with them. Mizuki took the shoes off her and then accidentally threw them into the audience while fighting with Aino. Harajuku got a replacement pair from Raku but Mizuki ended up throwing those away too. She then beat Takami with the Diving Foot Stomp after getting some help with Takami. Suruga told Mizuki afterwards that today was the first time they’ve teamed up in eight years! The two of them told Takami she needs to become as bold as they are.

YuuRI was back in TJPW and started off her match facing against Chika Nanase. When it was Shino Suzuki’s turn to get involved, she took Wakana Uehara sightseeing around the ring. Kira Summer breaking up Nanase’s pin on Uehara caused all six wrestlers to get in and start fighting. Suzuki got rid of Summer with the Belly-To-Belly Suplex. She & HIMAWARI then got YuuRI with a Spear/Neckbreaker combo. Nanase tried to finish off Uehara by herself but Uehara turned things around and won with the Sushi Tornado.

In the opening match the two rookies Ren Konatsu and Shion Kanzaki faced each other once again. Konatsu came out on top this time by using a new submission move to win. She put Kanzaki in the Rings Of Saturn to win and it was later named the Shoulder Bites (maybe because the move was also once called the Batista Bite?).

When the show began Rise Shirai introduced everyone to Momo Sato, confirming that the idol has officially become a trainee for TJPW like she said she would back in March. Sato is the younger sister of DDT wrestler Daichi Sato and has spent time in the wrestling ring before doing stuff for HEAT-UP. Since then she became an idol with Harajuku Gakuen and was scouted by Sanshiro Takagi to give TJPW a go. Sato greeted the fans and told them she will do her best to make her debut. On a sidenote, this news comes shortly after a now former trainee was seen working ringside duties at a Marigold show over the weekend. Anri was the trainee who was meant to debut alongside Shion Kanzaki back in January but it was called off when she wasn’t considered to be in the right condition to debut yet. I hadn’t heard anything about her ever since that announcement came out. Then very recently there was a Rossy Ogawa interview where he revealed Marigold will soon have a new rookie who was originally supposed to debut somewhere else. A few Japanese fans on Twitter were quick to recognise Anri at ringside at Marigold and now things are starting to clear up a little bit. I don’t see any harm or foul over it. Every wrestling company has trainees who come, go and then debut somewhere else for whatever reason. TJPW is no exception and have been accused of committing similar actions in the past. Also while we’re here is the other trainee Yuuka still around? I never notice what trainees are working ringside duties until social media points it out.

The 7th June show will have MIRAI returning to wrestle and also Sumire Uesaka appearing as a guest commentator. As far as I know Uesaka is still the Iron Man Champion after winning it back at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26”.

TJPW is collaborating with the Tokyo Idol Festival to hold matches during the TIF ASIA Tour being held in Odaiba this summer. The matches will be held on 31sy July, 1st August and 3rd August.
