TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW UNIVERSE MEMBER BOX OFFICE – PURE TOKYO JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 6”, 06/03/2022 Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall 140 Fans -Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Cooking Match – Rice You Want To Make On White Day: Arisu Endo (Omelet Rice) defeated Yuka Sakazaki (Napolitan) by Daisuke Kiso Judgement.
2. Banned Act Lost Point System Tag Match: Miu Watanabe & Moka Miyamoto defeated Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh by TKO (11:03).
3. Foot Sole Reading Anagram 5 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Mizuki, Yuki Kamifuku, Raku and Kaya Toribami when she guessed the word “Kokugikan” (11:01).
4. Hyper Misao & Haruna Neko defeated Mil Nodcaras & Yuki Caras when Misao pinned Nodcaras with a Jackknife Pin (9:53).
5. Costume Change 6-Woman Tag Match: Rika Tatsumi, Marika Kobashi & Suzume defeated Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi submitted Kiryu with the Torso Squeeze Dragon Sleeper (13:59).
There were a lot of costume swapping on the show. When Sayuri Namba walked out for the opening introductions it was actually Pom Harajuku dressed as her. Then all the wrestlers in the main event had to pick a random back containing another person’s costume. Rika Tatsumi got Yuki Arai’s gear, Marika Kobashi got Raku’s gear, Suzume got Harajuku’s gear, Hikari Noa got Nao Kakuta’s gear, Kakuta got Tatsumi’s gear and Mahiro Kiryu got Yuki Aino’s gear.
Once again and for the last time, The Bakuretsu Sisters were missing from the fan club show and had to be replaced at the last minute. The good news is fans got the return of The NodoCaras Sisters!
Everyone in the 5 Way match had a piece of hiragana written on the sole of their foot. A wrestler was eliminated if their opponents read out the hiragana on their sole. The ultimate goal was to find all of the characters and correctly guess what word it spelt. Shoko Nakajima got it right in the end and discovered the anagram was of “Kokugikan”.
Each wrestler in Match #2 was banned from doing a particular action. Miyu Yamashita was not allowed to kick, Maki Itoh couldn’t use the DDT, Miu Watanabe was banned from lifting opponents and Moka Miyamoto couldn’t throw straight fist punches. 121000000 ended up losing when they lost their concentration and did a High Kick and DDT to their opponents at the same time.
Yuka Sakazaki and Arisu Endo took part in a cooking contest against each other. They were tasked with making a meal for Daisuke Kiso to eat. Kiso judged that Endo’s food was better so she was the winner.

7. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino when Tatsumi pinned Tenma with the Missile Hips (20:30).
The second ever Max Heart Tournament goes to Daydream! The big final was a rubber match between them and The Bakuretsu Sisters after they had a 1-1 record against each other going back to 2020. Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino hit their big move the Bakuretsu Bulldog to their opponents early but couldn’t win off of it. Rika Tatsumi countered Tenma’s Killswitch into the Twist Of Fate, letting her regroup with Miu Watanabe. Aino was taken care of with the Tear Drop and Tenma was given the Daydream Eternity. Tatsumi then finished her off with the Missile Hips to win the tournament! It wasn’t the fairytale ending for Tenma as her wrestling career reaches its final weeks. But she is sure the battles between The Bakuretsu Sisters and Daydream will live on in the history of Tokyo Joshi Pro.
For Daydream they received their prize for winning the Max Heart Tournament. However they still have an even bigger dream they want to come true. They want to challenge The Magical Sugar Rabbits for the Princess Tag Team Titles at Sumo Hall! The champions came out and accepted the challenge for 19th March. Yuka Sakazaki agreed that Daydream earned the right to have the match. Meanwhile MagiRabi has to make up for getting eliminated in Round 1 so Sakazaki & Mizuki are as determined as ever to keep the championships. They also asked if they could get the Max Heart trophies if they beat Daydream.
The International Princess Title match had an unusual interruption when Maki Itoh had Yuki Kamifuku almost beaten. Itoh had locked in the Itoh Punish when Kamifuku grabbed the rope and then reached over to Mahiro Kiryu. It turned out Kiryu was holding up Kamifuku’s phone and somebody was calling her. Kamifuku answered and told everyone it was her mother. She then passed the phone over to Itoh asking her to join in the call. Itoh reluctantly did and Kamifuku suddenly gave her a School Boy for a nearfall. Itoh regained her composure and put her opponent in the Itoh Deluxe for the victory. Afterwards Kamifuku admitted that Itoh is the cutest in the world and more importantly, her friend who she supports. She still poked her in the eye causing Itoh to start swearing in English.
Once Itoh calmed down she declared she is ready to defend the IP Title as many times as she wants around the world. So whoever wants to fight her next should come out down. Enter Yuki Arai! She politely asked Itoh for a title shot and brought up Itoh being in her debut match last year. At the time Itoh gave Arai the goal to crush her no matter how long it will take. Arai thinks now is the right time to achieve that goal. Itoh accepted the challenge and said the title match will happen at Sumo Hall on 19th March!
The Ryogoku main eventers Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima (with a new haircut) were pitted against each other in a 6-Woman Tag, giving them more chances to figure each other out. Yamashita got the last hit on her challenger with the Skull Kick. Mizuki got rid of Yamashita with the Cutie Special. From there, MagiRabi were too much for Marika Kobashi to handle. Kobashi’s Front Neck Lock was broken and Sakazaki pinned her with the Magical Merry-Go-Round. Nakajima had fun teaming with MagiRabi again but she needs to make sure to avoid that Skull Kick.
The antics of Raku & Pom Harajuku were enough to send Sakisama to sleep. A lullaby from Raku made Sakisama drowsy and eventually she just had to take that nap on the ring apron. Mei Saint-Michel had to bang on the ring bell to wake her up. NEO Biishiki-gun ended up winning and Saint-Michel started complaining about being hungry. She wanted to go eat chanko stew. That reminded Sakisama of the Sumo Hall show next month so she decided NEO Biishiki-gun will be there! Meanwhile Raku & Harajuku blamed their loss today on the referee. Harajuku wants to get revenge on Yukinori Matsui but she doesn’t want to see him again either.
Arai got her confidence to challenge for the IP Title by beating Suzume earlier in the show. Suzume hit a Facebuster and went for the Ring A Bell but Arai hit back with the Full Nelson Buster and the Finally axe kick to win. Arai wants to have many more matches with Suzume because she thinks the two of them make each other improve so much. Suzume is upset to lose in front of her fans. There are many wrestlers she doesn’t want to lose against and now Arai is the one she wants to beat the most.
Today was only the second time Ram Kaichow has been in TJPW but she is already making the place feel like home. Perhaps she is getting a little bit too comfortable because she got Hyper Misao and Mahiro Kiryu to carry her on their shoulders down to the ring. Misao also had extra masks as gifts for her tag partners but they quietly left them on the canvas when she wasn’t paying attention. Misao then tried giving one to Asuka but was rejected again. Kiryu gave Haruna Neko a Sidebuster but she was then wiped out by a mistargeted Asai Moonsault from Asuka. Kaichow gave Asuka the Codebreaker and Misao pinned Kaya Toribami with the Hypami Returns. It was then announced that Kaichow will be back for the Sumo Hall show.
The opening match had classmates Arisu Endo and Moka Miyamoto going against each other. Their previous singles match last July ended in a draw. Miyamoto avoided the Waterwheel Drop and applied the Rashomon submission hold. Endo tried struggling out of it but had to give up in the end. Miyamoto is happy to win but is aware Endo has become stronger.
A former member of TJPW made her presence known at the beginning of the show. Yuna Manase came out and announced she will be at the Sumo Hall show next month! However this is not the old Yuna Manase that TJPW fans will remember. She is the burning hot Yuna Manase of Ganbare☆Pro! It would be easy for her to nominate an opponent right now but she doesn’t want to fight somebody just because she or the company told them to. No, she wants an opponent who wants to fight her under their own initiative. She doesn’t care how old they are or where they come from. They can even come over to Ganbare☆Joshi and challenge her there if they want! Or maybe Manase will bring her friends from Ganjo over instead. Nao Kakuta heard her call and threw her name into the hat to fight Manase at Sumo Hall.
Even though Hikari Noa was missing from today’s show, she still was involved in something newsworthy. She is getting a singles match against Hikaru Shida from AEW at Sumo Hall!
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.

6. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi-Final: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Asuka when Aino pinned Kamifuku after the Bakuretsu Bulldog (15:39).
There are only so many matches left for The Bakuretsu Sisters before Nodoka Tenma graduates from Tokyo Joshi Pro this March. The team may be coming to an end soon but they can win the Max Heart Tournament in their final weeks together. VENYU couldn’t knock them out in the semi-final today. Tenma put Asuka out with the Killswitch, Yuki Aino gave Yuki Kamifuku the Side Suplex and together the Sisters hit the Bakuretsu Bulldog on Kamifuku for the win. They said they have come this far so they have no choice but to win the whole thing. Kamifuku was disappointed to lose but Asuka assured her their tournament run was not a disaster in the least.
The MokaYuki Cinderella run was all a dream. A Daydream that is! Eh? Eh? A lot of attention in the tournament was given to the Moka Miyamoto & Yuki Arai pairing but it all came to an end today. Arai put all the credit on Miyamoto for getting the team this far. Miyamoto however was more upset over the result and blamed the loss on herself. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe move on to the final.
The final on 11th February is now between Daydream and The Bakuretsu Sisters. Much like what the Sisters said above, Daydream aren’t afraid because they made it to the final by beating Kyoraku Kyomei and now MokaYuki. Both teams were complimentary to each other to close out the show.
Pom Harajuku tried to disguise herself as a ringside second for the 3 Way Match so would be ignored. Her disguise was just a large piece of paper on her back with “I Am A Second” written on it. Mizuki and Nao Kakuta didn’t fall for it and they dragged her back into the match.
In the opening match, Yuka Sakazaki got annoyed from seeing so many Yuki Arai shirts in the audience. She took her frustration out on Mahiro Kiryu, who complained to the referee about fouls being committed. Sakazaki then brought a chair into the ring and when they fought over it, the ref got knocked out by accident. Sakazaki then accidentally hit herself when she missed a swing and the chair bounced off the rope back into her face. Kiryu was falsely caught with the chair when the ref got back up and the match went back to normal.
Miyu Yamashita Vs Marika Kobashi was announced for the 5th February show in Yokohama. It will be Kobashi’s final match in her home region before she graduates in April.
There was no Up Up Girls performance to open the show because of Raku’s absence.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2022 WINTER ~KOBE PERFORMANCE~”, 08/01/2022 Kobe Art Center 234 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Suzume defeated Haruna Neko with the Ring A Bell (7:53).
2. Miu Watanabe defeated Kaya Toribami with the Canadian Backbreaker (5:04).
3. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Marika Kobashi and Arisu Endo when Tatsumi pinned Endo with the Twist Of Fate (7:50).
4. Hyper Misao, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Raku when Misao pinned Raku with the Hypami Returns (10:18).
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.
