All throughout the build up to “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26” there was the question asking is Yuki Arai had the killer instinct to beat Miyu Yamashita one on one. Today she answered that question with an undeniable yes. This was Tokyo Joshi Pro’s big match for the summer and Yamashita egged on Arai to give her best shot. She found a way to break out of the Scorpion Death Lock by grabbing Arai in a Brain Claw when she bent over backwards too far. Arai kept up with her attacks and dealt enough damage to prevent Yamashita from pinning her immediately after the Skull Kick. Instead Yamashita tried to finish her off with the Crash Rabbit Heat but it was blocked. While Arai was still kneeling, Yamashita got in two glancing blows using the Skull Kick but Arai hit back with the Rookie Award to shift the momentum back to her. She then threw down Yamashita with the Full Nelson Buster and landed the Finally to get the three count in her biggest Princess Of Princess Title defence to date.

After the match Arai said she just defeated Yamashita which means she is now the one who will lead TJPW into the summer! She looks up to Yamashita because she helped train her as well as for being a cool and strong senpai. Beating her has given Arai a huge boost of confidence and now she feels like she cannot lose to anyone. With the Tokyo Princess Cup beginning on Monday, Arai wants everyone in TJPW to make this summer hotter than ever. Backstage Arai said there were points where Yamashita completely overwhelmed her but it never broke her spirit. Now she wants to win the Princess Cup as champion because she’s never won a tournament before. Yamashita talked about how feeling the joys of winning and the frustrations over losing. For the latter she always uses defeat to make herself stronger. Arai won today but Yamashita is still going to try and beat her. With the Princess Cup about to begin there is no time to rest.

It took a lot of time for Daydream to convince Kyoraku Kyomei into taking their challenge for a rematch from “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” last year. This time around it was Daydream as the defending Princess Tag Team Champions and Kyoraku Kyomei as the challengers. Hyper Misao promised a clean fight although she and Shoko Nakajima then tried to jump the champions before the bell rang. The two teams brawed out of the ring and briefly disappeared from view. Kyoraku Kyomei emerged from one side of the room with the Hyper Mobile while Daydream were at the other end armed with sasumata poles. The two teams then charged at each other where they were caught in a stalemate. Rika Tatsumi was able to grab Mahiro Kiryu, sit her onto the Hyper Mobile and push her so she crashed the bike into Kyoraku Kyomei. Back in the ring Misao blinded Miu Watanabe with spray but that didn’t stop her from doing a Double Body Slam to the challenging team. Tatsumi followed up with a Double Figure 4 Leg Lock. The action got so intense that Misao ended up having her masked kicked off and she was put into the Dragon Sleeper. She countered it into the Hypami Returns but Tatsumi then avoided the Vanitas to hit her with a Hip Attack. While Misao got her mask back on, Watanabe threw Nakajima out of the ring Tear Drop style then gathered Kyoraku Kyomei together on the floor for Tatsumi to hit the Diving Hip Attack onto them. The then gave Misao the Daydream Believer back inside the ring to pin her and remain the champions. Daydream are thrilled to avenge their defeat from last year especially because Kyoraku Kyomei had become a stronger and even more incomprehensible tag team since then. Nakajima admits whenever she wrestles against Daydream she really feels alive. Misao is also feeling the determination to become an even stronger wrestler.

It turns out Wakana Uehara’s eyes are bigger than her stomach after all. Her attempt to completely devour Suzume and win the International Princess Title ended in failure. While Uehara met the low angle Ring A Bell with a Shining Enzuigri and used a Jackknife Hold to try and pin down Suzume, she couldn’t get the pinfall. Suzume also found a way to break out of the Banana Pillow by grabbing Uehara in a Headscissors to loosen up the grip. Uehara was lifted up and dropped down with the Gory Bomb which left her helpess to Suzume’s remaining signature moves. The Flying Facecrusher followed by the Ring A Bell ended the match with Suzume still holding her precious IP Title. Uehara tried to get some semblance of a last laugh by biting Suzume’s arm before leaving the ring. Suzume saw the funny side of it. Backstage she talked about wanting to prove the importance of her championship. She previously lost it to a junior with high expectations (Moka Miyamoto) so she’s been terrified of that happening to her again. Her goal now for the Princess Cup is to become the brightest star. Uehara said Suzume is a really spicy opponent and she is terrible when it comes to spicy food. She was expecting Suzume to taste sweet because she has such a sweet looking face. She was determined to finish her meal but couldn’t finish with the last bite so the lesson she learned is to not be so picky anymore. The only other time she couldn’t finish a meal was when she had a tempura rice bowl that was so oily it soaked the rice at the bottom and made them inedible.

Flight problems for Willow Nightingale prevented her from arriving in Japan on time for the show so her match with Mizuki was cancelled. Mizuki was given a new opponent on short notice although it is somebody she had fought in TJPW once before. It was Chris Brookes! Mizuki wasted no time in attacking him with the Pico Pico Hammer, striking him down the same way she did Andreza Giant Panda in the past. Yukinori Matsui took the hammer away from her but Brookes later got hold of it and gave Mizuki a bonk over the head before throwing her into a row of chairs at ringside. Mizuki tried finding ways to cut down her much taller opponent while Brookes bullied her around. Double Stomps and high risk moves off the ropes were the only way she could hurt Brookes but she was almost wipde out from taking a Shotgun Dropkick into the turnbuckles. Her last big play was to hit the Whirling Candy but it only got her a nearfall. After that Brookes caught her in midair and gave her a Tombstone Piledriver. While Mizuki did kick out of the pin, Brookes just gave her the Praying Mantis Bomb after that to win the match. Backstage Brookes brought up memories of the Magical Sugar Rabbits vs TeaDK match from 2024, his previous appearance in TJPW. He said today was fun and he thinks Mizuki would like hanging out in Baka Gaijin + Friends. Mizuki was happy to see Brookes fill in on such short notice because she has so much respect for him as a wrestler. Some day she will grow taller and score the three count on Brookes. She also still wants that match with Willow Nightingale.

The road to retirement begins for Yuki Kamifuku with a special 6-Person Tag Match being put together for her on this show. She teamed up with Kumadori (who she is friends with) & Sakura Hattori (who she thinks needs to find friends). On the other side was her wrestling father figure Sanshiro Takagi, the man who produced a special video for this match Yumehito Imanari and her long suffering former tag partner Mahiro Kiryu. Things took a turn when Kiryu redirected Kumadori & Hattori into both poking Kamifuku in the eyes. She apologised for it which then caused Imanari to apologise for allowing Kamifuku to be rude in her interview for the pre-match video. Takagi then apologised for farting in the ring while nobody was paying attention to him. Later in the match Kiryu ended up getting isolated from her team. Kumadori & Hattori both kept Takai & Imanari away so Kamifuku could win the match using the Diving Famouser. Kamifuku said her team were able to win through sheer willpower. She was also able to get away with insulting Takagi and punching him in the face. She feels bad for Kiryu though and wants to tell her to keep working even harder until the time comes for her own retirement so she doesn’t bring shame to the people of their age. Hattori said she hopes to meet Kumadori again because she found a lot of similarities between the two of them. Kamifuku told her she has to make that happen herself and that she shouldn’t count on anyone to simply book them in the same match again. Meanwhile Kiryu doesn’t want her story with Kamifuku to end here. She wants to fight her again and again before Kamifuku retires. Imanari agrees that she should get some revenge by the time December comes around. Takagi suggests Kiryu should increase her mahjong training.

Big bad Aja Kong paid another visit to TJPW this time to have a singles match against Arisu Endo. From the beginning Endo peppered Kong with Dropkicks then used the ropes to roll up Kong and keep her on the canvas so she could apply the Camel Clutch. Kong put a stop to that with a big kick to Endo’s stomach. She followed that with a beat down into her own Camel Clutch which had Endo fighting to reach a rope break. Endo turned the table by using the Mt. Bandai Missile Dropkick but Kong knocked her down with a Lariat and brought in the steel can to use as a weapon. Endo grabbed it off her but threw it back so when Kong caught it Endo could Super Kick it into her face. Kong eventually hit Endo over the head with the can and did the Back Drop but Endo kicked out of the pin. She then stunned Kong with a Straight Right Punch and flipped her over with the Waterwheel Suplex. That only irritated Kong who slapped Endo across the face, did another Back Drop and then landed the Diving Elbow Drop from the second rope to win the match. Backstage Kong brought up the story of her seeing Endo crying backstage after her match at “GRAND PRINCESS ’26” back in March. At the time she gave Endo the following advice: “It’s going to hurt anyway, so just punch them with your fist.” She didn’t actually expect Endo would do that to her today! If it turns out Endo dislocated Kong’s jaw then Kong will get her revenge tenfold or even a hundredfold some other time. Until then she hopes to see Endo win the Princess Cup and then win a championship so she can come challenge her for a title of some kind. She also didn’t use the Uraken today and wants Endo to remember that Kong has plenty of things to hit her with. Endo said that Kong’s words to her that day in Sumo Hall were like magic. She can keep on going no matter how much it hurts.

MIRAI’s return to TJPW so she could team up with Toga again was spoiled by Shunrai Rekka!! Prism Greed. After a lot of action back and forth, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro were able to avoid taking their opponents’ signature moves at the same time and instead to that to them. MIRAI was sent out of the ring after getting hit with Aino’s Diving Shoulder Block. Prism Greed then gave Toga their Elevated Reverse DDT finisher called the Updraft!! Overdrive to get the win. The two were happy to fight MIRAI again after waiting a long time for her to come back. Toga was annoyed over losing the match right before the Princess Cup begins but MIRAI gave her some encouragement. Toga promised to get stronger so MIRAI won’t forget about her.

The arrival of Shin Sakura Katsushika Hirota to TJPW made her partners for the day HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida very giddy. Hirota sung a song down to the ring and got on the microphone while Ashida was cheering with her pompoms and HIMAWARI was whipping her hair at Chika Nanase. Meanwhile Raku got fed up with the noise and tried to take a nap with Pom Harajuku. As the match went on Hirota tried to do a rope walk spot on Nanase but ended up slipping off it one too many times. She then picked her nose and chased after everyone with snot on her fingers. She tried to stick them into Nanase’s face but she ducked and they wound up getting into HIMAWARI’s mouth instead. When Hirota tried to interrupt the Goodnight Express, Raku sent her to sleep with a lullaby. Hirota also had trouble missing Harajuku with the Kancho attack. She was able to convince Harajuku to attempt the same rope walk she did. Harajuku failed and Hirota finally got her with the Kancho after doing a cartwheel to get into position. Raku, Harajuku & Nanase all tricked Hirota into looking behind her so she could get kicked in the shin. The match then broke down with HIMAWARI accidentally sticking her own fingers into Hirota’s mouth like earlier. Harajuku charged in but Hirota in her stunned state collapsed on top of her as she often does in matches. She was too much dead weight for Harajuku to kick out of and Harajuku got pinned as a result.

The pro debut of Momo Sato included the first use of her entrance song after Shion Kanzaki gave permission to use that instead of her own tune. That didn’t matter to Kanzaki because she got to do her mic work in the corner during the match. Ren Konatsu made fun of it while she was controlling the match with Sato in the ring. Sato got to hit some Shoulder Blocks and a Kneel Kick to Uta Takami but Takami trapped her in the Koala Clutch for the tap out. Both Takami & Konatsu are looking forward to pass on what they know towards Sato. So too is Kanzaki because Sato is going to be her first junior. Sato said her goal is to become a cheerful and bright pro wrestler who will aim for the top. She’s also going to keep an eye on Takami for being so cheerful and bright.

There are only a few announcements that were given out throughout the show. Both Hiroyo Matsumoto and Sumire Natsu will be at the 23rd August Korakuen Hall show, the same event where the Princess Cup final will be held. It will be Natsu’s first time in TJPW. Also TJPW’s final show in Shinjuku FACE before the venue shuts down will be held on 27th September.


Tokyo Princess Cup 2026 Brackets

July 9, 2026

Today in Abema Towers the draw for this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup took place with Rise Shirai looking over the proceedings. Twenty of the twenty four competitors were in attendance to choose a number out of random envelopes and match up together to reveal the full playoff bracket. Those who were missing from the event were Pom Harajuku, Wakana Uehara, Mifu Ashida and the yet to debut Momo Sato. Shirai picked their envelopes and revealed their spots first before any of the wrestlers in attendance got to choose their own.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 20/07/2026
Shizuoka Act City Hamamatsu

1. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1A: Uta Takami Vs Miyu Yamashita
2. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1B: Raku Vs Mizuki
3. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1C: Arisu Endo Vs Sakura Hattori
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1D: Wakana Uehara Vs Mifu Ashida
5. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1E: Toga Vs Momo Sato
6. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1F: Miu Watanabe Vs Ren Konatsu
7. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1G: Suzume Vs Shion Kanzaki
8. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1H: Haru Kazashiro Vs Yuki Arai

The entire 1st Round will be held in Shizuoka to kick off the tournament. Uta Takami drew Miyu Yamashita so she feels terrified while also thinking she’s hit the jackpot. Yamashita is an opponent Takami really wants to challenge but at her current state she believes a match between them could only be put together by a lottery. It will be dangerous but Takami does not want to set limits for herself. Yamashita admits she is not very good when fighting against Takami’s fighting style so she’s going to be careful when she tries to crush her.

If you would like to know the combined brain power of Raku and Mizuki, the two accidentally headbutted each other from bowing after their match was revealed. Raku also said that Mizuki sleeps with her eyes open and wants to know if all rabbits do that? She’ll be careful against her either way. Mizuki hasn’t been happy with her tournament results lately and came to the conclusion it is because she is too much of an angel. This year she would like to act like a bit of a devil and wake Raku up!

Last year’s finalist Arisu Endo is now looking to become No. 1! She still remembers the time she first fought Sakura Hattori back when the ninja was known as Kaya Toribami. Endo lost that match and it also happened to be Toribami’s first ever singles victory. Endo has promised to get revenge for that loss by beating Hattori in the first round! Hattori said it does not matter who her opponent is because she is superior against anybody. She has her own defeats against Endo that she wants to avenge, the most recent being from this year’s Max Heart Tournament.

Neither Wakana Uehara or Mifu Ashida were at the press conference so they weren’t able to give their thoughts about facing each other in Round 1. This will be Ashida’s first proper go at the Princess Cup because last year she failed to get out of the Preliminary League qualifiers. Uehara did get past the league and reached the Quarter Final before getting eliminated. Given the changes for this year she doesn’t need to win as many matches this time around to reach the same stage.

The way the brackets have been put together can be split apart in A, B, C & D Blocks. Toga thinks the C Block that she belongs too is full of power fighters so she isn’t exactly confident of her chances of advancing past everyone else. She doesn’t know what to expect of her opponent Momo Sato either because it will be Sato’s next first match after her debut takes place.

Miu Watanabe is looking to make it two in a row as she gears up to defend her crown. Last year’s winner wants to shine like a princess for the rest of the summer again. Ren Konatsu is looking forward to facing her in Round 1. There are five people in particular she wants to wrestle and Watanabe is one of them. It’s also taking place in her hometown of Hamamatsu so the stage is set for her to become the next princess of the summer by beating the current one!

It’s going to be a first time ever singles match between Suzume and Shion Kanzaki. Suzume warns her opponent that hornets are at their most aggressive in the summertime. Suzume doesn’t have much Princess Cup success to brag about which only makes her more motivated to burst through the early rounds and show everyone the true power of the hornet. Kanzaki is nervous about her tournament debut but doesn’t want fans to think she will bow out right away in the opening round. She’ll do her best to beat Suzume and advance.

The bottom right of the bracket corner is the block to watch out for in Round 1. Haru Kazashiro meets Yuki Arai and for her third tournament appearance her confidence is very high compared to the previous two years. She’s been watching Kamen Rider OOO recently and has been inspired by the hero Eiji because he once said if something is within reach and he never reached out to grab it then he would regret it. Kazashiro is following those words so she can live a summer without regrets. Arai loves that sparkly behaviour from her which is why she wants to take a lethal dose of that youthful energy for herself so she can sparkle even more too.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 25/07/2026
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall

1. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2A: Winner Of Match 1A Vs Rika Tatsumi
2. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2B: Winner Of Match 1B Vs Hyper Misao
3. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2C: Winner Of Match 1C Vs Chika Nanase
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2D: Winner Of Match 1D Vs HIMAWARI

In recent years Rika Tatsumi has grown to like the summer after always hating it beforehand. So this year she has put it upon herself to win the Princess Cup and become the “Summer Girl” Rika Tatsumi. She’s worried that Yamashita might ruin those plans though. Last year Yamashita let everyone know that she would love to face Tatsumi in the tournament because they haven’t had a singles match together since 2021. It never happened because Tatsumi got knocked out in the first round. Tatsumi doesn’t like that the opportunity for the match to happen has reappeared again so she is rooting for Takami to beat Yamashita instead.

No matter who she faces in Round 2, Hyper Misao thinks she is going into a hellish situation because Raku and Mizuki are both real troublemakers. But Misao is a superhero and if she can make it through a hellish summer like this then she can become a really, really, really strong hero. In fact if it was up to her she would have wanted to start in Round 1 so she can win five matches on the way to winning the Princess Cup instead of four. Mizuki then called out Misao for lying.

For a tournament named after Tokyo it sure is starting to be held in Osaka more often. Chika Nanase is happy with that because she gets to start her tournament in her hometown. That surge of energy is going to get her ready for either Endo or Hattori.

HIMAWARI didn’t have Uehara or Ashida around to bounce off of so she tried to think of things they would say if they were here. She thinks Uehara would talk about devouring the competition while Ashida would be cheering and shouting “Woohoo!” HIMAWARI says when you think of summer you will think of her so she is going to bloom the brightest and win the tournament.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 30/07/2026
Shinjuku FACE

1. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2E: Winner Of Match 1E Vs Mahiro Kiryu
2. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2F: Winner Of Match 1F Vs Yuki Aino
3. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2G: Winner Of Match 1G Vs Pom Harajuku
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2H: Winner Of Match 1H Vs Shoko Nakajima

How can you be born in July but have a terrible lack of success during the summertime? That’s the plight Mahiro Kiryu faces every time she enters the Princess Cup. She’s supposed to be a summer girl but she’s never gotten to be one. If there is ever a time for her to solve this problem it is now! Maybe the sun will finally start shining on her when she steps into the ring to face either Toga or Sato in Round 2.

Yuki Aino is still feeling the pain of getting eliminated in the first round last year so she is hesitant about saying she will go all out from the start again. She also remembers her failure to beat Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title last year so she doesn’t want to claim she can definitely beat her either should she be her opponent in Round 2. Even stating that she can beat Konatsu is not something Aino is comfortable with saying at the moment. Instead the message she wants to give today is she will knock everyone out so she can reach the dream stage that is the Princess Cup final again.

Pom Harajuku wasn’t there so there’s nothing from her about potentially facing Suzume or Shion Kanzaki in Round 2. She is back in the Princess Cup after failing to qualify last year. Her record here is pretty abysmal to be honest with only one previous win in the contest. You can’t even include a Preliminary League win from last year because that one was by forfeit.

As the one remaining wrestler to have competed in every single Princess Cup to date, Shoko Nakajima is spoiled for choice when it comes to her Round 2 opponent. She gets either the current Princess Champion at the time of this draw happening or a first time singles match with Kazashiro. All three of them would like to wrestle each other in the tournament so Nakajima told Arai and Kazashiro to figure out a way where they can both win so they can all do a 3 Way Match together in Round 2!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 13TH TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 08/08/2026
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall

1. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 2A Vs Winner Of Match 2B
2. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 2C Vs Winner Of Match 2D
3. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 2E Vs Winner Of Match 2F
4. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Quarter Final: Winner Of Match 2G Vs Winner Of Match 2H

I’m writing this on the same afternoon the Quarter Finals of the World Cup are beginning. Arai is France but is Yamashita Argentina? Can Tatsumi be like England and bring it home? Is Suzume Norway and therefore the next lineal holder of Hatsune Miku? Does that make Nakajima Spain somehow? Is Morocco better suited to Endo, Kazashiro or Takami? Will Misao save an entire sport like Belgium did? No matter what, Kiryu has the same chances as Switzerland.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. 13th Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: X Vs X

The Princess Cup is always promoted by Tokyo Joshi Pro as their equivalent to the annual Summer Koshien high school baseball tournament. So it is only fitting that this year’s Princess Cup final takes place in the same weekend as the Koshien final.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “READY TO EXPLODE ~SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26~” Results

July 4, 2026

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “READY TO EXPLODE ~SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26~”, 04/07/2026
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
275 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Haru Kazashiro & Chika Nanase defeated Ren Konatsu & Shion Kanzaki when Nanase submitted Kanzaki with the Inari Torii Kai (11:28).
2. 3 Way Match: Yuki Kamifuku defeated Raku and Kira Summer when Kamifuku pinned Summer with the Famouser (6:25).
3. Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Mizuki submitted Harajuku with the Southern Cross (8:25).
4. Wakana Uehara & Toga defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Uehara submitted Suzume with the Banana Pillow (12:37).
5. Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & HIMAWARI defeated Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Yuki Aino when Watanabe pinned Nakajima with the Tear Drop (13:41).
6. Miyu Yamashita & Sakura Hattori defeated Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida when Yamashita submitted Ashida with the Modified Cobra Clutch (14:54).

There is now two weeks to go until “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26” and today was the go home show for the event. Yuki Arai had Mifu Ashida cheering her on despite having her pompoms thrown away by Sakura Hattori. The ninja later played her part in keeping Arai held back so Miyu Yamashita could beat down on Ashida. However Arai broke through to try and rescue her Kyoto Tag partner only to get Skull Kicked for her troubles. With her out of the way, Yamashita then whipped Ashida down onto the mat to submit her with the Modified Cobra Clutch. After the match Yamashita said this isn’t all that Arai has got but she’s still going to kick her down and win the Princess Of Princess Title. Hattori gave her support to her K!SS// partner and the two of them promoted “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26” to end the show.

Last week Rika Tatsumi claimed she lost in the 8-Woman Tag main event on purpose to help ignite Kyoraku Kyomei into finally wanting to fight Daydream for the Princess Tag Team Titles. That claim had stuck with Hyper Misao all week so she got her hair cut to be 30cm shorter before today’s match. Misao told everyone this on the microphone and joked that she is now totally ready to win the title. This likely was a reference to the time in 2018 when Tatsumi dramatically cut her own hair as part of a failed Princess Title challenge because as soon as she heard Misao’s joke, she immediately lost her temper and choked her with the mic cable to start the match. Miu Watanabe later won the match by pinning Shoko Nakajima with the Tear Drop. Then for a little added boost of momentum, Daydream stopped Kyoraku Kyomei from stealing the title belts after the match. In an ironic turn of events backstage, Kyoraku Kyomei are now claiming that they lost on purpose today in order to motivate the champions for the title match.

A misfire between Daisy Monkey has all of a sudden given Wakana Uehara some motivation heading into her International Princess Title match. Arisu Endo tried to Super Kick Toga but it was dodged and Suzume took the hit instead. Toga gave Endo the Absolute Zero then rallied Uehara to finish the match. Suzume fought back using a low level Ring A Bell but Uehara kicked out of it and then blocked the regular version of Suzume’s finisher. Uehara then jumped onto Suzume and rolled her into the Banana Pillow, keeping her away from the ropes and wrenching in the hold until Suzume tapped out. Suzume has considered her challenger a threat from the beginning but admitted today is the first time she’s really seeing her strength up close. She now wants to fight Uehara more than ever before and is starting to feel hungry about it.

Next week is the Tanabata festival so Pom Harajuku carried down a bamboo branch to stick onto one of the ring corners. She then asked Mizuki & Uta Takami to write down their wishes to stick onto the “tree”. Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu then attacked them from behind to start the match. Harajuku pulled Mizuki away from ringside during this and trapped her in another part of the building. She then went back to the ring and ripped apart Takami’s wish in front of her. Mizuki eventually broke free from her imprisonment and got the hot tag. She made Harajuku tap out to the Souther Cross while Takami held Kiryu in the Koala Clutch.

Today was Kira Summer’s last match in Tokyo Joshi Pro before she travels home to Australia for the rest of the summer. Her return will be happening around the middle of August. So Australia, go and get ready for Kira Summer’s Summer Of Kira!


Tokyo Princess Cup 2026

A roster of 24 participants will be competing in the 13th annual Tokyo Princess Cup this summer and unlike last year there is no qualifying round needed for the junior members of the roster to earn their spot.

Tsukamoto’s Trial, Momo Sato’s Debut, Baka Gaijin In Nagoya

July 1, 2026

BASARA “BASARA 310 ~OJI NI KITSUNE 30~”, 05/07/2026
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. Oosugi Army Vs Senga Army: X Vs X

There is a BASARA doubleshot taking place this Sunday but the first show from it is a bit of a mystery. It is only being advertised as a team challenge between the two wrestlers from Speed Of Sounds. One side will be captained by Tsutomu Oosugi while the other is captained by Banana Senga. Both team lineups are currently a mystery but you might be able to figure out who will be there based on the below card for Show #2.

BASARA “BASARA 311 ~OJI NI KITSUNE 31~”, 05/07/2026
Tokyo Oji BASEMENT MONSTAR

1. Trans-Am ★ Hiroshi Vs Baliyan Akki
2. Takato Nakano Vs Takeru Inoue
3. Masato Kamino & Seiya Morohashi Vs Tsutomu Oosugi & Banana Senga
4. 7 Match Trial Series: Takumi Tsukamoto Vs Ryota Nakatsu, Isami Kodaka, FUMA, Daichi Kazato, SAGAT, Daiki Shimomura & Lil’ Kraken

In order for Takumi Tsukamoto prepare for his Union MAX Title shot, he will be running through a gauntlet of seven wrestlers in a series of speedy matches. Each match only has a 3 minute time limit but Tsukamoto’s next opponent will enter the ring as soon as the previous match had ended. So there won’t be much time for Tsukamoto to catch his breath in between opponents. This isn’t happening at one of the All You Can Drink shows either so I don’t think he can get a hydration break either.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”, 18/07/2026
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Momo Sato Debut Match: Momo Sato Vs X
2. Shin Sakura Katsushika Hirota, HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida Vs Raku, Pom Harajuku & Chika Nanase
3. Aja Kong Vs Arisu Endo
4. Yuki Kamifuku, Kumadori & Sakura Hattori Vs Sanshiro Takagi, Yumehito Imanari & Mahiro Kiryu
5. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Wakana Uehara
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita

With Yuki Kamifuku planning to retire at the end of the year, she has been promised a retirement road of matches to remember. First up is an absolutely unusual looking trios match featuring people Kamifuku would consider friends, mentors and possibly people she might find handsome. She is friends with Kumadori and Mahiro Kiryu, looks up to Sanshiro Takagi as a father figure and thinks Yumehito Imanari is good looking. She also thinks Sakura Hattori could do with meeting some new people to keep her company.

The newest idol to make her pro debut with Tokyo Joshi Pro is the Harajuku LAND idol Momo Sato. She was born in Kanagawa on 5th January, 2011 and stands 157cm tall. She already wrestled in TJPW back in March as part of the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title Battle Royal when Sanshiro Takagi scouted her. She was discovered because her brother Daichi Sato already wrestles in DDT and she became interested in following his footsteps. She intends to be a full time member of TJPW although there will be some shows missed because of her idol duties as well as her school studies.

Welcoming them will by Yuta Oya, the blind wrestler who previously fought against Brookes back in February. Mr. Bueno & Mr. Malo will be their opponents after Bueno demanded he be told in advance what his next match will be. He believes he should know this stuff in advance because he is the BK-G Openweight Champion.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN NAGOYA”, 21/06/2026
Aichi Chunichi Hall
444 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Toga & Chika Nanase when Kazashiro pinned Nanase with the Fisherman Suplex (10:13).
2. 3 Way Match: Sakura Hattori defeated Pom Harajuku and Mahiro Kiryu when Hattori pinned Harajuku and Kiryu with a Simultaneous School Boy (8:00).
3. Mizuki & Uta Takami defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Raku when Mizuki pinned Raku with the Diving Foot Stomp (9:36).
4. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer when Suzume pinned Summer with the Ring A Bell (11:03).
5. Hyper Misao defeated Miu Watanabe with a School Boy (4:52).
6. Rika Tatsumi Vs Shoko Nakajima ended in a Time Limit Draw (15:00).
7. Yuki Arai & Ren Konatsu defeated Miyu Yamashita & Shion Kanzaki when Konatsu pinned Kanzaki with the Aries Comet (14:32).

Ren Konatsu has entered her second year as a pro wrestler by returning to the venue of her debut and winning in the main event for the first time! She got to beat her junior Shion Kanzaki with the Aries Comet while Yuki Arai used a Full Nelson Buster to make sure Miyu Yamashita was out of the way. Konatsu said she wants to team up with Arai a lot more as well as also have matches against her. The way Arai praised Konatsu after the match makes Konatsu think she has now gone from Arai’s fan into Arai’s angel. As for the upcoming title match, Arai thinks today was an important warmup because she got to show Yamashita her true potential. She wants to master the Scorpion Death Lock and is thinking carefully of different ways to put Yamashita in it in every match they will be in together.

The two Daydream Vs Kyoraku Kyomei singles matches couldn’t have turned out any differently. Rika Tatsumi and Shoko Nakajima fought each other to a 15 minute stalemate where Tatsumi’s tactical wrestling clashed with Nakajima’s speedy style. The other match devolved into chaos pretty quickly. Hyper Misao tried to leave when she realized it was meant to be a preliminary bout for the Princess Tag Team Titles match that her team still denies is going to happen. However she was already locked in the room and had to wrestle the match. Miu Watanabe wrapped Misao up in the ring apron and gave her the Giant Swing on the floor. Misao blinded Watanabe with the Hero Spray and started detaching the turnbuckle posts to use as weapons. Watanabe ended up charging right into an exposed buckle and was rolled back into a School Boy to get pinned by Misao. Kyoraku Kyomei still hold the contract for the title match and Nakajima pointed out that if she cannot beat Tatsumi one on one then she clearly isn’t ready to fight for the tag titles right now. On the other side, Tatsumi cannot believe that Watanabe lost her match so she ordered her to go train at a gym by herself without using her Hot Pepper app points to make the reservation. Tatsumi doesn’t need to join the training because a draw is not a loss. She also doesn’t believe Nakajima when she says now is not the right time to do the title match.

While Japan was beating Tunisia 4-0 in the World Cup, Mahiro Kiryu brought along a gigantic football so she could play the sport with her opponents in the 3 Way Match. She also had red and yellow cards prepared for Daisuke Kiso to use if anyone committed a foul (that blew up in her face when Kiso booked her for being too aggressive towards him). Pom Harajuku wasn’t interested in playing and Sakura Hattori threw the ball away but both of them were eventually drawn into Kiryu’s game. Harajuku threw the ball around which made Kiryu stop the match so she could show her how to play properly. The two then tried to kick the ball into the red corner goal but Hattori used her ninja skills to save almost every shot. She finally let one in by accidentally leaving an open goal but then remembered they were in a wrestling match so she rolled both opponents over with a Double School Boy for the win. At least Kiryu and Harajuku got more shots on goal than Tunisia did.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW SPRING TOUR 2026 ~NEXT DOOR~ IN YOKOHAMA”, 13/06/2026
Yokohama Radiant Hall
273 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Shonandai Manji (6:52).
2. Toga & Uta Takami defeated HIMAWARI & Mifu Ashida when Toga pinned Ashida with the Absolute Zero (10:03).
3. 3 Way Match: Mizuki defeated Pom Harajuku and Arisu Endo when Mizuki submitted Harajuku with a Southern Cross (7:22).
4. Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Wakana Uehara & Chika Nanase when Suzume pinned Nanase with the Ring A Bell (11:00).
5. Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Raku defeated Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Ren Konatsu when Misao pinned Konatsu with the Hypami Returns (14:55).
6. Yuki Arai, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated Miyu Yamashita, Sakura Hattori & Kira Summer when Arai submitted Summer with the Scorpion Death Lock (11:41).

Yuki Arai has advanced far enough that it’s now going to take more than Miyu Yamashita’s usual kicks to take her down. When Arai was going to give the Finally to Kira Summer, Yamashita ran in to kick her away. However Arai fired back with a Big Boot of her own to knock Yamashita away. With the coast cleared, Arai went on to give Summer the Full Nelson Buster and then the Scorpion Death Lock to win. After the match Arai said Yamashita kicked her so much today but in a month’s time Arai is going to win the Princess Of Princess Title match against her! On a lighter note, Haru Kazashiro joked that if you took the blue from her outfit and the red from Yuki Aino’s outfit then mix them together, you get Yuki Arai! The three of them (nicknamed YukiHaru Arai) then closed the show out by talking about the food in Yokohama’s Chinatown. Aino likes to eat fried rice together with white rice because both are often served at Ota Ward Gymnasium. However “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS” will not take place in that venue this year so she needs to find a place somewhere else to get them.

The Challenge Cancellation Community (aka Kyoraku Kyomei) have begun their protest over becoming the No. 1 Contenders for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Both Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao entered their match carrying signs saying they absolutely refuse Daydream’s challenge to them. Misao then got on the microphone to announce the tag title match has been cancelled. During today’s match they tied Miu Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi to chairs at ringside. Daydream found ways to get into the ring while still tied to the chairs and break free. A fight broke out over one of the chairs, knocking the ref out in the process. Tatsumi grabbed the chair but missed Misao and hit Watanabe over the back by mistake. Raku then hit Tatsumi with the Diving Poppo Chop while Misao beat Ren Konatsu with the Hypami Retuns. After the match Daydream tore up the protest signs and later backstage they attacked Kyoraku Kyomei with sasumata poles again to try and convince them they did agree to the tag titles match.

Suzume & Mahiro Kiryu teamed up after previously being opponents over the International Princess Title. If there’s one thing Kiryu can take solace in from losing it’s she has played a part in making Suzume even stronger. Suzume says she now has a burning desire inside of her and Wakana Uehara got a sample of it today. However she wants to keep calm and beat Uehara at her own pace once the title is on the line. After getting a portion today, Uehara says Suzume tastes pretty sharp and slightly spicy. She describes Suzume as a high mountaint like Mt. Fuji or Mt. Everest. She has a month until the title match so she will train hard for it and cherish every attack she can throw at Suzume in the meantime. Fighting Suzume will be like eating a 10kg portion of food so she needs to prepare for a meal of that size.

There will be a show on 29th August called “BECOMING” and it will be held at TOKYO SQUARE IN Itabayashi. The concept of the show will be every match only has wrestlers who debuted from 2023 onwards. Tokyo Joshi Pro has ten wrestlers from their roster announced for the show.

*V3 for Yuki Arai.

You know for as much as Yuki Kamifuku says she dislikes being in championship matches she made a good go of it today. She upgraded her presentation with new ring gear and turned her match with Yuki Arai into a scrap where there were plenty of kicks aimed at each other’s faces. Kamifuku was fighting an uphill battle when she was put in the Scorpion Death Lock and later couldn’t hit the Famouser. She dodged the Finally only for Arai to catch up with her with the Rookie Award, then hitting her finisher after another attempt. Despite failing to win the Princess Of Princess Title, Kamifuku backstage said today she is the most beautiful and coolest she’s ever been. Her outfit was inspired by Doronjo from the Yatterman series and she wanted a fresh look that reminded her of her early days as a wrestler. She also credited Arai for cheekily stealing some of her moves today, although she admits those moves originally came from Saki Akai and Nao Kakuta. Kamifuku said she isn’t interested in challenging for the Princess Title again because she wants to move at her own pace and is tired of hearing everyone tell her she should be fighting for the white belt.

With three Princess Title defences now achieved, Arai got a surprise for who challenger No. 4 is going to be. Her victory speech was interrupted when Miyu Yamashita who unexpectedly walked down to ringside. It was unexpected because Yamashita was wrestling at an EVE show in England on Friday so she wasn’t advertised to appear on today’s show. She also won the EVE International Title over there and was carrying her latest championship over her shoulder. She told Arai that when she won this belt, the first thing that came to her mind was the Princess Title so she wants to win it back more than ever! Arai revealed that if the choice is up to her, she was going to nominate Yamashita anyway because she has not forgotten about last December’s match where she lost to Yamashita in just over a minute. She cannot accept herself as the true champion until she can beat Yamashita one on one! 18th July will be the day Arai promises Yamashita will never forget because it will be when Arai surpasses her and leads Tokyo Joshi Pro to move forward!

Rika Tatsumi will not accept Uta Takami as Mizuki’s new tag team partner but she has bigger fish to fry after Daydream successfully defended the Princess Tag Team Titles. Daydream want to prove that they are constantly evolving as a team and proved it today with a new tag team finisher. The Daydream Believer is a combination of Miu Watanabe’s Tear Drop with Tatsumi’s Missile Hip Attack. The move was super effective on Takami and won the match for the champions. Watanabe also found a new way to give the Giant Swing to two people at once, spinning Takami around from the front while Mizuki fell back from the piggyback position to be spun around behind Watanabe. Mizuki thinks she should be upset over the defeat but she cannot help but smile. Takami works so hard with her and that’s the reason why Mizuki got to challenge for the tag titles she never thought she would ever reach again. She doesn’t want to stifle Takami’s potential and encouraged her after the match to do what she enjoys. If she happens to be a part of that then she will continue to team with her.

To go along with their evolution, Daydream told the fans they have a new goal for the summer and called out Kyoraku Kyomei to come down to the ring. Daydream lost to them at last year’s “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS” show and want revenge at this year’s event so they are nominating them as their challengers for the show. They expected Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao to eagerly accept but instead they refused! Nakajima said they are not ready to fight for the belts so soon after they failed to beat The IInspiration in Las Vegas. Misao also said her memories of that summer are very special to her and it is too early to try and surpass it. The champions disliked their answer and Tatsumi brought up a lesson her grandmother used to say: “He who chases two rabbits catches both!” Daydream got out of the ring and grabbed the pair of sasumata poles they used to torture Kyoraku Kyomei last year! They used the poles to pin Nakajima & Misao into the corners until they convinced themselves that Kyoraku Kyomei accepted the challenge. However nothing has been decided by TJPW yet and Misao is forming the Challenge Cancellation Community to protest any chance of the title match going ahead at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’26”.

How far can an apology take you? All the way up to getting a championship match, I guess. Mahiro Kiryu got to fight Suzume for the International Princess Title and just like Kamifuku in the main event, showed up to her match in a brand new costume. She took Suzume outside the ring and laid her on some of the chairs in the front row so she could do her Apology spot to the fans up close. She also used the apology dogeza to lock Suzume into a Jail Hold. Her momentum was cut off with the Ring A Bell but she was determined to win, shouting that she wants to be a champion after she caught Suzume in the Spinebuster. But Suzume got back to the top rope and did the Flying Facecrusher before pinning Kiryu with the Ring A Bell.

After the match, Wakana Uehara walked out to declare herself Suzume’s next challenger. She remembers an interview where Suzume said Wakana has a very hungry spirit. Today she is much, much hungrier than she was back then and she wants to devour the International Princess Title! Suzume said she loves her hungry spirit and always wanted to experience it in person. But this is a championship so big she doesn’t think Wakana has the appetite to finish it! The title match was agreed on and will take place on 18th July. Backstage Suzume said she wants to thank Kiryu for today because they are very close to each other. She hopes to have another special day like this with her sometime. Uehara said ever since Ober Eats lost the Princess Tag Titles, she was worried about what to do next. After wrestling in singles match recently she now really wants to win a singles title so the time is right for her to challenge Suzume.

The presence of Sumire Uesaka at today’s show led to some chaos happening over the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. She was at the show to do commentary as well as watch over the 3 Way Tag Match sponsored by her vampire café Twilight Rouge. Before the show began, Antonio Honda broke into the venue attempting to attack Uesaka for the belt. However Uesaka used her Twilight Rouge powers to send Honda twirling out of the building.

The 3 Way Match showed Kyoraku Kyomei are at their strongest when something is on the line. At least that is according to Misao’s speech at the start of it. Throughout the chaos Raku & Pom Harajuku tried to send their opponents to sleep, Mifu Ashida was almost smothered with a duvet and HIMAWARI’s hair was used for a tug of war by everyone else. Harajuku aimed to hit Pom de Justice on both Nakajima and HIMAWARI at the same time but only got HIMAWARI with it. Nakajima dodged the moves and cradled Harajuku in a Jackkknife Pin to win the 1,000,000 R (Rouge) store credit for Uesaka’s café.

Then the Iron Man Title hijinks broke out after the match. Nakajima bit Uesaka’s arm while receiving her prize, making Uesaka give up the belt to her. Then Misao rolled up Nakajima to become the new champion. Uesaka got so mad she took her prize back and angrily left the ring. However Kyoraku Kyomei followed her back to the commentary table to apologize so she would give it back to them. That was when Harajuku rolled up Misao from behind the win the title from her.

Things did not calm down backstage. Misao decided a trip to the Twilight Rouge would heal her broken heart after losing the Iron Man Title but Nakajima ran off with both certificates. HIMAWARI wasn’t happy with Ashida for using her hair as a weapon and threatened not to team with her again. Then Raku woke up from a nap and discovered Harajuku was now the Iron Man Champion so she started chasing her around the locker room. Harajuku escaped to an empty room where she thought she was safe. Suddenly she found a pair of Hirata GO! glasses and when she put them on, Kazuki Hirata appeared behind her armed with a hammer! Hirata hit Harajuku over the head and pinned her to win the Iron Man Title, presumably bringing the belt home to DDT. Hirata celebrated by saying the Bullet Train ticket will be his. DDT has a contest going on where whoever makes it to “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2026” as the Iron Man Champion will be rewarded with a year long Bullet Train pass that applies for DDT’s regional shows.

MIRAI was very impressed with Haru Kazashiro after their first match together. She is particularly impressed with Kazashiro’s Arm Lock holds since she only has three years of experience. The thought of what Kazashiro can turn into scares MIRAI but she is happy to see a wrestler so young quickly master joint locks when throws and grappling moves are seen to be cooler and more appealing. If Kazashiro can master submission moves to other parts of the body then MIRAI thinks she will become an unstoppable monster! Kazashiro thinks something about herself has changed since her IP Title match with Suzume last month although it’s nothing dramatic. It was strange to fight MIRAI because Kazashiro watched so much of her back in TJPW when she was a fan. She’s happy to have fought her but also feels frustrated over giving her all yet still losing.

Uehara was one step ahead of Toga which frustrated the latter because she thought it was the other way around based on last week’s result in Osaka. When Toga did the Rolling Thunder, Uehara absorbed the blow to grab her into the Banana Pillow. But Toga got out of it and did a Fall Away Slam. She also resisted a Dropkick in order to hit Uehara in the back with the Elbow Strike. She did it again only for Uehara to give her a Suplex and counter the Absolute Zero with an Enzuigiri. That stunned Toga and left her open for Uehara to pin her with the Sushi Tornado. Toga rolled out of the ring afterwards to avoid having to shake her opponent’s hand. Backstage Toga said that simply chasing after somebody she admires won’t be enough to catch her up to Uehara. She’s going to have to move forward in her own way instead.

Things were kind of more friendly between Chika Nanase and YuuRI in their match. YuuRI told Nanase at the start it is nice to see her and they shook hands. It got more intense with Nanase trying to fight from underneath while YuuRI’s tactic was to drain down her opponent’s stamina. Nanase dodged the 619 and also hit a Running Elbow for a nearfall. YuuRI prevented her from applying the Inari Torii and instead rolled her into a Body Scissors Sleeper Hold to win by submission. YuuRI called it a special match because Nanase is fun to wrestle with. She hopes to be invited back to TJPW so she can wrestle with her again along with other people like Toga. Nanase also described the match as a dream that came true that she wished would last forever. However she got a little slap across the face from YuuRI after the match and she won’t forgive her for that!

New costumes were also shown off by Sakura Hattori and Ren Konatsu in the opening match while Yuki Aino had now dyed her hair black. Kira Summer worked over on Shion Kanzaki until Kanzaki was able to tag in Aino. But it was Arisu Endo who took the match home by Super Kicking Konatsu and pinning her with the Ju no Okite. In the locker room Endo told Hattori it’s been a while since they were last in the ring together, then corrected herself and acted like they were now just meeting for the first time. Kanzaki tried to apologise to her team over the result but Aino gave her encouragement because all of the support she’s been receiving is causing her to do her best. Aino also motivated Konatsu to refine her wrestling style and become even more ambitious so she can aim for greater heights.

From the mind of Hyper Misao, the fourth annual “HYPE!” show will be held in Kitazawa Town Hall on 15th September.

1. Arisu Endo defeated Shion Kanzaki with the Camel Clutch (8:15).
2. 3 Way Match: Sakura Hattori defeated Mifu Ashida and Ren Konatsu when Hattori pinned Konatsu with a School Boy (7:59).
3. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao & Kira Summer when Harajuku pinned Summer with the Pom de Justice (11:09).
4. Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro defeated HIMAWARI & Chika Nanase when Kazashiro submitted Nanase with the Izayoi (10:38).
5. Miyu Yamashita & Toga defeated Shoko Nakajima & Wakana Uehara when Toga pinned Uehara with the Absolute Zero (12:36).
6. Yuki Arai, Miu Watanabe, Rika Tatsumi & Suzume defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Mizuki, Uta Takami & Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi submitted Takami with the White Dragon Sleeper (16:28).

The rematch from last week has gone to the champions this time. Suzume caught Mahiro Kiryu with the Ring A Bell, Yuki Arai used her Modified Brainbuster to deal with Yuki Kamifuku and Daydream finished off both Mizuki & Uta Takami. Takami was hit with the Running Hip and Miu Watanabe then joined Rika Tatsumi to give Mizuki the Daydream Eternity. Takami made the fatal mistake of charging towards Tatsumi after that because Tatsumi grabbed her into the White Dragon Sleeper to get the win. Tatsumi said it felt great to win the match and she hopes the result leaves everyone on the challenger team feeling disheartened. Watanabe wanted much more action today so she is looking forward to the Korakuen Hall show. Arai thinks she wasn’t able to kick Kamifuku nearly enough so she promised to kick her face off at Korakuen on 7th June. Suzume wants everyone on the champion team to regroup after that show so they can all stand together as champions again. Backstage Tatsumi was pleased to have taken down the “Koala Alien” today but she will also have to beat Mizuki too in order to free her from Takami’s “brainwashing”. Kiryu described Suzume as being in super battle mode, ready to sting her at any moment.

With their singles match coming up on 7th June, Wakana Uehara and Toga were primarily focused on trying to beat each other in their tag match. Uehara countered the Absolute Zero into a Jackknife Pin but it only got her a nearfall. Toga did one better by countering the Sushi Tornado into the Absolute Zero, dishing out enough damage to pin Uehara for the three count. Uehara said she lost the tag match today but she won’t lose to Toga in a singles match. Toga pointed out today is the first time she defeated Uehara under her own power, although it was still part of a tag match. Next time when it’s one on one she is going for the complete victory. She expects Uehara to come up with more counters after today just like Toga is preparing more for her.

Kira Summer deciding to become a superhero just like Hyper Misao wasn’t interesting enough to keep Raku & Pom Harajuku’s attention. The two of them snuck off up to the balcony while Misao introduced Summer wearing her own hero costume (wearing an eye mask and using the Australian flag as her cape). The two heroes followed their opponents up to the balcony where they got trapped under a banner and almost counted out of the match. They got back to the ring in time but Harajuku then stole Misao’s cape so she too pretended to be a superhero. Misao got it back by spraying Harajuku in the face. Raku stopped Misao from doing the I Am A Hero, allowing Harajuku to pin Summer with the Pom de Justice.
