The heartbreak of three years ago have now been washed away because Miu Watanabe has won the Tokyo Princess Cup after her second appearance in the final! Now it is Arisu Endo who must carry the feelings of making it so far only to fall at the last hurdle. She found her spots to hit the Tsuruga Castle knee drop and then place Watanabe in the Camel Clutch. Watanabe’s power became an invaluable weapon as the match went on because she kept blocking the Ju no Okite and also picked Endo up over her shoulders and twisted her around into a Dragon Sleeper style Giant Swing! Endo got some shots back with the Waterwheel Drop and Super Kick but Watanabe batted her away and pinned her with the Tear Drop to win the tournament.

After receiving her trophy, Watanabe spoke about losing the Princess Cup final to Yuka Sakazaki three years ago. She then said she is happy from the bottom of her heart that Endo was her opponent today because she shines bright and is always strong. The final she lost to Sakazaki was the first year the current trophy was used so for her to finally hold it after so long has washed away the regret from three years ago. Now that she’s reached the top there is one more thing she wants to do this summer and that is win the Princess Of Princess Title back from Mizuki! She invited Mizuki down to the ring. Mizuki came down and told Watanabe she is an incredible princess and also still a monster. Watanabe said the value of the Princess Title has increased because of Mizuki and now that Watanabe is a “Princess” again she is ready to surpass it. The two agreed to have a Princess Title match at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” on 20th September and they curtsied to each other afterwards.

Backstage Endo was coming to terms over how her summer has ended. She made it all the way to the final and headlined a Korakuen Hall show. So even though she lost she realises how much stronger she has gotten recently and has the confidence to win the tournament next year! She called this the best and hottest summer ever, so much so that she has now come to love this time of year. The fans chanting for her throughout the match gave her strength and she believes it pushed her forward to make it this far under her own merits.

A second big title match was made for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” over the result of the semi-main event. Aja Kong came by to visit for a match but Kyoraku Kyomei are the current Princess Tag Team Champions and they weren’t going to let anyone push them out of the spotlight today. Hyper Misao even stepped up to start the match off with Kong one on one but she immediately sprayed her in the face instead then sent Kong outside to get wrapped up in the ring apron and taped against the corner post. Kong was able to escape though and poor HIMAWARI became the target of Kong’s team from that point on. Mifu Ashida choked her on the ring apron with the Y-Shaped Guillotine while both Ober Eats members shoved their boots into HIMAWARI’s face and Kong pulled at her braids. Kaya Toribami tagged in to start a comeback until Kong gave her the Back Drop. Toribami got her back with a Spin Kick and a dive from Shoko Nakajima out of the ring found Kong as its target. However that left Misao on her own against Ober Eats and Yuki Kamifuku gave her a Reverse Famouser while Misao was trying to block a roll up from Wakana Uehara. The move did enough damage for Uehara to pin Misao with a Jackknife Pin for the upset win.

Uehara quickly grabbed a microphone after the match and called for Kyoraku Kyomei to give Ober Eats a second shot at the Princess Tag Titles! Even Kamifuku didn’t expect to see her partner do this but she liked how brazen it was. Kamifuku then told Nakajima & Misao they can do the title match at Ota Ward Gymnasium on 20th September. Misao reminded everyone that Kyoraku Kyomei already defended the Princess Tag Titles against Ober Eats in America back in April and they won the match. She wants to know what has changed since then for Kamifuku & Uehara to think they should challenge them again? In fact if it wasn’t for Kyoraku Kyomei then Ober Eats wouldn’t exist! However she cannot deny that she just lost to Uehara so she accepted the challenge. Nakajima warned the challengers that they will get back at them 100 times worse! Backstage Uehara explained to Kamifuku that she was determined to go through with another challenge ever since today’s 8-Woman Tag Match was announced. She really loves teaming with Kamifuku and wants to pay her back for always giving her advice every night. Kong then suggested if Ober Eats become champions then she and Ashida can both challenge them for the belts!

Back in May 2021 when Yuki Arai made her pro wrestling debut, she lost to Maki Itoh in a tag match. In the aftermath Itoh encouraged Arai to continue trying to crush her no matter how many years it will take. Well it took a little bit over four years but today Arai was able to crush Itoh for the first time! It wasn’t easy though. When she gave Itoh the Finally kick, Itoh’s iron head blocked the move and she gave Arai a Headbutt afterwards. However Arai fought fire with fire and delivered a Headbutt of her own to Itoh before striking in hard with the Rookie Award. The damage weakened the iron head enough for the Finally to hit its mark the second time and keep Itoh down for the three count. As a show of respect after the match Itoh tucked in her middle finger and instead gave Arai a pinky shake. Backstage Arai said Itoh has been there for all of her big opportunities in wrestling and she has learned so much from her. She is happy to finally beat Itoh for the first time but knows there will be even more matches in the future so this isn’t over between them. Itoh didn’t have much to say other than today she left it all in the ring and it is up to everyone to think for themselves.

Totsugeki! Mizuki sort of found herself fighting in a Handicap Match because Pom Harajuku brought along an inflatable dolphin to use as a weapon against her. There was also a watermelon pool ring that Harajuku placed Mizuki on and dragged her around ringside with. Mizuki was armed with her trusty Pico Pico Hammer though and eventually threw the dolphin into the audience as well as Harajuku’s shoes. When Mizuki won the match with the Diving Foot Stomp she pretended to offer Harajuku a handshake only to stick her tongue out at her instead. She said backstage that Harajuku’s quirks are what she loves about her and she had a lot of fun fighting her today. Harajuku was left wondering why her stomach hurts and also wants to know where her dolphin Shachinoske went.

One of the teams in the 6-Woman Tag Match was built on inspiration. Rika Tatsumi was the inspiration for Suzume to become a pro wrestler and Suzume was the inspiration for Ren Konatsu to do the same. Meanwhile Yuki Aino was teaming with two teenagers who decided to get matching pigtails just because. And yet there was some inspiration hidden in that side too because Aino used herself as a prop for Haru Kazashiro to springboard herself onto Tatsumi just like how Aino would prop up Nodoka Tenma back when she was wrestling. When Aino pinned Konatsu with the Venus DDT to win, Tatsumi left ringside by herself in a temper. Backstage she wants to know where these young wrestlers are all coming from all of a sudden and also complained about her partners not following her lead. Konatsu said they could have won if Tatsumi hadn’t accidentally choked her near the finish. She told Konatsu not to use excuses and she has to try harder to win. However she gave Suzume more encouraging words and patted her on the back. Aino was happy to be back in Korakuen because it has been six months since Tokyo Joshi Pro was last in the building and today was a brilliant victory for her team. She also thought the sight of Kazashiro & Uta Takami dodging Tatsumi’s Hip Attack was like something out of a horror movie for kids.

Yuna Manase was brought in as a wall for Toga to try and climb over today. Sadly for Toga it is a challenge too tough for her to handle. She couldn’t hide her frustration after losing because when Manase tried to give her praise for the effort, Toga pushed her away and left the ring. She said she thought she had a lot of energy going into the match but Manase took all of it and beat her anyway. Manase reached out to her backstage with a suggestion that they should team up next time rather than be opponents. When Manase left TJPW five years ago it was a decision she made to inspire the TJPW wrestlers but today Toga really inspired her! Toga likes the idea and wants to learn from Manase by doing their best together.

The story spreading around the locker room heading into the show was about Juri Suzue’s skills when it comes to arm wrestling. So backstage Raku and Ram Kaichow approached the teen idol with Kaichow demanding an Arm Wrestling match for the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title. Kaichow quickly learned just how strong Suzue is and was about to lose when Raku started using the power of love to aid her partner. And by power of love I mean distract both Suzue and Daisuke Kiso so Kaichow could use both of her hands to beat Suzue and win the belt.

Kaichow quickly had to make it down to the ring because she was now defending the title in the show opening Battle Royal. The entrances were done Rumble style so Kaichow had to wait for Raku to enter before the happy couple could start making their moves. They eliminated Chika Nanase together but then Raku tried to beat Kaichow to take the title from her! While Kaichow was threatening to divorce Raku over her betrayal, Mahiro Kiryu rolled her up from behind to become the new champion. Miyu Yamashita then entered the match and frightened Kiryu by kicking Kira Summer out of the ring to eliminate her. Suzue entered the match looking to reclaim her title and quickly formed an alliance with Yamashita to eliminate Shino Suzuki. They then did the same to Kiryu so Suzue could become the champ again. The alliance then fell apart and Suzue found herself in the middle of Yamashita and Raku fighting each other. The two of them went over the top rope onto the apron so Suzue used an Axe Kick she named the Suzue Power to knock both of them to the floor and win the match! However she would shortly lose the Iron Man Title again later in the day. Pokotan found her backstage and challenged her to an Arm Wrestling match. It then emptied out a bag of treats onto the table to distract Suzue so it could beat her and run off with the belt.

It was announced that Priscilla Kelly will be at “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI”. She had last done a tour with TJPW back in 2018 where she challenged for the Princess Title. In the time since then she had signed with WWE where she wrestled as Gigi Dolin in NXT.

There was an announcement at the beginning of the show about TJPW using a new leadership system behind the scenes. Miyu Yamashita was chosen to be the first “Leader” and she said she is ready to dedicate her life towards TJPW. Tokyo Sports have since reported that her role is essentially like being the chairwoman of a wrestlers association. She is expected to be involved with bringing all of the wrestlers in TJPW together as a united group.

When The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) had finished their show opening concert, it was revealed that Uta Takami is getting her first homecoming show in Kanazawa on 22nd November!

Na-naaaaa na-na-na-na-na-na-na TJPW on the swing! A new collaboration sees TJPW teaming up with Bandai Namco to promote the new “Once Upon A Katamari” video game. Original art has been produced of Yuki Arai, Mizuki, Arisu Endo and Suzume all dressed up looking like the Prince and several of his cousins. While details of what this art will be used for have not been announced yet, unfortunately it has been confirmed that the designs will not be appearing in the new video game itself.

August 17, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 17/08/2025

2. 3 Way Match: Mahiro Kiryu defeated HIMAWARI and Ren Konatsu when Kiryu submitted Konatsu with a Crab Hold (7:46).

4. Mizuki, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Hyper Misao, Toga & Mifu Ashida when Mizuki pinned Toga with the Diving Foot Stomp (10:59).
5. Rika Tatsumi & Yuki Aino defeated Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami when Aino pinned Toribami with the Venus DDT (11:14).
6. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Arisu Endo defeated Yuki Arai with the Ju no Okite (14:40).
7. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Semi Final: Miu Watanabe defeated Shoko Nakajima with the Tear Drop (24:40).

Miu Watanabe has one eye set on the Tokyo Princess Cup final. The right one to be precise because Shoko Nakajima accidentally smashed in the left eye during their match. Nakajima went for the Diving Senton from the top turnbuckle but Watanabe blocked it with her knees. But during the impact Nakajima’s elbow hit Watanabe in the eye and left her with a shiner for the rest of the bout. The block also gave her a dead leg for a bit but she was able to walk it off at ringside while Nakajima was also recovering from the block. The match itself put a lot of focus on the ringwork that the two wrestlers have developed a lot of good chemistry over for the last couple of months. Nakajima avoided the Tear Drop to give Watanabe the Northern Lights Suplex but she only got a two count out of it. Then when she went to the top rope, Watanabe followed up and grabbed Nakajima into the Canadian Backbreaker position. Nakajima tried to wriggle out of it but Watanabe ended up giving her an Avalanche Power Slam instead. She then got the three count by giving her the Tear Drop.

After the match Watanabe talked about how often she has wrestled Nakajima in the last few months alone. She is probably the person she sees more than anyone else at the dojo. If it wasn’t for Nakajima, Watanabe wouldn’t feel the need to work so hard so she is happy they get to wrestle each other and improve each other. With just the final left to go, Watanabe doesn’t care who she will face because she is a princess and will never lose! Her opponent is going to be Arisu Endo, who went into the ring to say some things herself. This is her chance to become the best in Tokyo Joshi Pro so she is going to win and become the woman of the summer! Watanabe praised Endo for how cool she’s looked in the earlier rounds and she looks forward to meeting her in the final on 23rd August.

Endo’s road to the final put her in front of Yuki Arai who was in the semi final round for the third year in a row. She tried using the Scorpion Death Lock to win and even dragged Endo back to the centre of the ring. She then switched to the Full Nelson Buster but Endo escaped and gave her the Waterwheel Drop instead. It seemed the damage dealt to Endo’s back would be her undoing as she couldn’t find the strength to use her finisher. But she propped herself back up to Super Kick Arai before she could do the Finally and pulled off the Ju no Okite for the victory. Endo said every time she’s fought Arai it was in crucial moments of her career so when they were drawn together for the semi final, that was Arai’s good luck shining through. But with this being Endo’s first time reaching the final four, she pulled it through and will now go all the way to the final! She thinks the Princess Cup trophy suits her too even though she doesn’t wear pink much. It also now seems clear that Arai treats Endo as her rival just as much as vice versa. Arai still has her sights set on taking two more steps in the Princess Cup. First step is reaching the final and the second is winning it. She wants to do both next year.

Suzume had fallen ill the day before the show so she was pulled from the card, reshuffling a few matches as a result. One of the changes was Mifu Ashida getting to team with Hyper Misao for the first time. Misao wanted to talk about it on the microphone but she got distracted by Pom Harajuku grabbing Ashida’s pom-poms from the corner and started to play with them. Misao took them off her but decided to try cheering with them herself. Harajuku and her team then all attacked her to start the match. Ashida got her pom-poms back so Harajuku then tried to join in her cheers by replacing the pom-poms with her own shoes.

The other change due to Suzume’s absence was the inclusion of a 3 Way Match with Ren Konatsu taking part in such a stipulation for the first time ever. Mahiro Kiryu explained to her how tough 3 Way Matches are so they should team up against HIMAWARI to make it easier for themselves. That didn’t last long and soon HIMAWARI convinced Konatsu that the two of them should team up against Kiryu! It forced Kiryu to apologize over being so arrogant about 3 Way Matches. She later got revenge by tying HIMAWARI’s hair to the ropes while HIMAWARI had Konatsu in the Half Crab Hold. HIMAWARI was stuck there and couldn’t stop Kiryu from making Konatsu submit to a Crab Hold in the middle of the ring. When HIMAWARI was untied from the ropes she chased after Kiryu to the back.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 02/08/2025

7. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima defeated Rika Tatsumi with the Diving Senton (15:19).

Round 1 of this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup is done and dusted, leaving us with 8 wrestlers left in the tournament. Today’s half of the bracket was headlined with the latest chapter in the series between Shoko Nakajima and Rika Tatsumi. From the moment the bell rang Tatsumi was on the attack and kept increasing the pressure from there. Whenever Nakajima started to get some momentum, Tatsumi would cut her off with Hip Attacks, Dragon Screws and Backbreakers. Nakajima finally found her breakthrough by giving her opponent an Avalanche Hurricanrana. Tatsumi tried using the Dragon Sleeper to slow her back down but eventually Nakajima caught her with the 619, setting up the Double Arm DDT and Diving Senton for the victory. After the match Nakajima mentioned Hamamatsu is said to be the city Godzilla crushed in the original movie and today it is where she crushed Tatsumi! This year she is more determined as ever because she is a double champion and cannot lose to anyone. That includes her 2nd Round opponent Mizuki. If anyone is going to become the hero of the summer Nakajima thinks it will be her instead of Mizuki! Backstage Tatsumi said she would have been in some kind of hell whether she won or lost so she would have preferred to win. She thinks today is the strongest that Nakajima has ever been. Nakajima brought up the previous times Tatsumi beat her so today feels like she has paid back a debt. She also proved a big kaiju can step over a dragon!

Yuki Arai was knocked down to the bottom of the mountain when she failed to win the Princess Of Princess Title at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25”. Today was the beginning of her climbing back up again when she beat a previous Princess Cup finalist Yuki Kamifuku. Arai was almost pinned with an Inverted Famouser but she avoided the Diving version of Kamifuku’s finisher. She then knocked her back with a Short Range Rookie Award and got the pin with the Finally. After the match Arai found Wakana Uehara standing in the distance watching and pointed out to her. The two of them will meet each other next in Round 2. Even though Arai beat Kamifuku she is feeling some regret over the result. Kamifuku still fights the same way she did in their previous matches but she is still a very tough challenge for Arai to beat. It reminds Arai she still has a long way to go. She’s expecting Uehara to be just as dangerous because she had a fierce look in her eyes. Kamifuku told reporters she really hates tournaments because the stress isn’t good for her heart. At least she can now go find other exciting things to do for the rest of the summer.

In the lead up to today’s show Hyper Misao revealed her motivation for entering this year’s Princess Cup. She wants to one day become the Tokyo Joshi Pro GM and winning the tournament will give her the immense power needed to achieve that goal! Unfortunately her plan suffered a major setback from the get go when Arisu Endo eliminated her from the first round. She tried to win using the Kingslayer followed by the Vanitas but Endo instead Super Kicked her and got the pin with the Ju no Okite. Endo thinks this is a huge win because she just defeated a hero! She has a goal of her own, to win the tournament and bring the Princess Cup trophy back to her homecoming show this September. Her dad paid her a visit yesterday just to wish her luck in the tournament so she is fighting for him and their family. She also thinks it will be really cool if she beats Miyu Yamashita in the next round. Misao is not giving up on her goal to become the GM. She is giving herself three years to make it happen and once it does she promises to make TJPW even more enjoyable for everybody.

The youngest entrant in the main tournament has advanced to Round 2. Haru Kazashiro found a counter to HIMAWARI’s Sunflower Tempest and turned it into the Fisherman Suplex for the victory. HIMAWARI is disappointed to be eliminated after working so hard to get past the Preliminary League. It was also her first singles match with Kazashiro in two years so she got to see first hand just how much her opponent has grown. Kazashiro was looking forward to this match so she could avenge her loss to HIMAWARI in the 2023 Next Generation Tournament. She is also feeling like this year is going to be her breakthrough year. With Miu Watanabe now waiting for her in Round 2, Kazashiro wants to build up her momentum even further so she can win the Princess Cup and challenge for the Princess Title.

Today is Mifu Ashida’s birthday so Mahiro Kiryu sang Happy Birthday to her. Then as soon as she finished the song she tried to roll her up for a pinfall. She ended up using that for her Apology spot but Yamashita interrupted it by kicking her in the back.

Maki Itoh missed the show due to illness so Match #2 became a 3 Vs 4 Handicap match without her. Watanabe was moved over to the other team ins Itoh’s place just so Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku were all together as the Love Triangle.

The show was also Ren Konatsu’s first homecoming match, even though she only started wrestling two months ago. She was disappointed to drop the fall in the opening tag match because she was teaming with her favorite wrestler Suzume as well as fighting for her hometown. Suzume told her she understands the frustration but the match they had also showed how much fun pro wrestling is. This is how wrestlers get stronger so next time they’re in the same match she wants to see Konatsu getting the win on her own.

The full cards for both days of “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2025” have been revealed. As already mentioned, Daisuke Sasaki & Hideki Okatani want to take the KO-D Tag Titles from The Apex. They believe the current champs are undeserving of the belts. DAMNATION T.A are also bringing back Haruto Sakuraba for his next DDT appearance. Kumadori is also back from injury but his match has nothing to do with Ilusion so I guess we’re just moving on from that little feud for the time being.

The other big match of note in my mind is Hinata Kasai’s debut match. HARASHIMA has been chosen to be his first opponent. The kid is going to eat a Somato sooner or later so may as well get him use to it from the beginning.

6. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Mizuki defeated Yuki Aino with the Cutie Special (13:45).

With the preliminary league out of the way it is now time to start the Tokyo Princess Cup properly. Half of the Quarter Final spots have been filled after today’s set of matches and one of those spots goes to the reigning Princess Of Princess Champion. The main event began with Mizuki and Yuki Aino catching each other’s kicks and agreeing to let each other go. Mizuki relied on dives and Double Stomps so Aino climbed up the ropes too so she could do an Avalanche Side Suplex. She also pulled out a Side Walk variation of the Venus DDT but when she tried to finish her opponent off with the UBV, Mizuki escaped and used the Cutie Special twice to win. After the match Mizuki described the look in Aino’s sparkling, burning eyes and felt she couldn’t lose. Backstage she said Aino is always by her side for important matches so she’s happy to fight her today. Aino called herself the princess of summer going into this tournament and wants to believe her summer isn’t over yet. She is throwing her support behind Mizuki to win the Cup so she can challenge her again, hopefully for the Princess Title next time. Mizuki will be facing either Shoko Nakajima or Rika Tatsumi in the Quarter Final. She expects a tough match against either of them no matter who wins.

At the bracket drawing for the tournament, Raku tried to intimidate Miu Watanabe by posing like a triangle in front of her. Watanabe thought she looked like a traffic cone so Raku was inspired to bring one out for their match! Her plan was to briefly send Watanabe to sleep with a lullaby and then lead a trail of chocolate up to the entrance. There, Raku jumped out of her hiding spot and placed the cone over Watanabe’s head to block her sight and hopefully get counted out. Watanabe made it back to the ring pretty easily so Raku put the cone over her head again while appplying the Front Neck Lock. However Watanabe instead held onto her for a Giant Swing, making the cone fly off in the process. She then went on to pin Raku with the Tear Drop. Watanabe said she spent the cold season planning on getting back to the top again. Now that summer has arrived it’s time to put her plan in motion. Raku thought she bought enough chocolate to distract Watanabe and thinks she was outside the ring long enough for a 20 count. She ate some of the chocolate in the ring after the match and thought it was delicious so she isn’t too upset over losing. She also gave some of the remaining chocolate to the reporters during her post-match interview. Watanabe will face either HIMAWARI or Haru Kazashiro in the next round.

The big upset of Round 1 might have already happened because the first tournament match of the day saw Suzume lose to Wakana Uehara! The former International Princess Champion is now entering a slump because right after she lost the belt she ends up losing here too. Uehara blocked the Ring A Bell and used a School Boy for a nearfall. Then she kept up the pressure until she rolled over Suzume with a Jackknife Pin to get the three count. Uehara lost to Suzume in Dallas during the Texas tour so she felt she had to go all out today. She didn’t know what to do when Suzume countered the Banana Pillow so she had to rely on her heart and was already doing the Jackknife Pin by the time she realized what was happening. Suzume is disheartened because she has earned the trust of so many people and is letting them all down. She is confident she can get them all to believe in her again. There is also an opponent she had in mind if she won the tournament so this only makes her work even harder to get it. Uehara’s Quarter Final opponent is either going to be Yuki Kamifuku or Yuki Arai. She would like to avenge last year’s Princess Cup loss to Arai but she also likes wrestling with Kamifuku as partners and opponents.

Fumirin had a challenging time trying to control the 8-Woman Tag Match. Hyper Misao encouraged Yuki Arai to use the Hero Spray in order to learn that you cannot win big matches just by using normal ways. But Arai hesitated and refused to use it. When Misao used the spray on the other team, Fumirin grabbed it off her. Misao caught a kick from Arisu Endo and threw her foot into Fumirin to knock her down and sent the spray can falling to the middle of the ring. One by one everyone attacked each other with the spray can leaving everyone but Arai down on the ground. Arai hesitated to pick it up but decided to do it only for Endo to turn the can around and make Arai spray herself in the face with it.

There was originally supposed to be a fourth 1st Round bout on the show but Moka Miyamoto became ill and had to forfeit her match with Miyu Yamashita, meaning Yamashita already advances to the Quarter Finals on a bye. Yamashita was also moved over to a non-tournament bout today where she teamed with Mahiro Kiryu. However Maki Itoh was on the other team and Kiryu wanted to know how Yamashita still feels about her? Yamashita said she loves Itoh while Itoh told her to shut up. That made Kiryu worried that she caused a fight to happen between the two so she made Yamashita apologize with her while they both knelt on top of Pom Harajuku.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” Results

July 21, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25”, 21/07/2025

7. International Princess Title: Moka Miyamoto defeated Suzume (c) with the Korokan (12:55).
*Suzume fails in V6. Moka Miyamoto becomes the 14th International Princess Champion!
8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) defeated Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe when Nakajima pinned Watanabe with the Diving Senton (25:32).
*V3 for Kyoraku Kyomei.
9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) defeated Yuki Arai with the Cutie Special (21:35).
*V3 for Mizuki.

If Mizuki gets to have her way then the entire summer is going to belong to her. She got one step closer to achieving that goal by successfully defending the Princess Of Princess Title today and cutting down the rising star Yuki Arai in the process. Arai relied heavily on Big Boots and similar attacks while Mizuki fired back in kind with Diving Stomps and heavy Dropkicks that resemble those kinds of stomps. Arai switched to putting Mizuki in the Scorpion Death Lock and even tried catching Mizuki’s arm to stop her from reaching the ropes. But Mizuki would rope break out of it and block the Finally to hit a Run-Up Double Stomp. From there Mizuki did the Whirling Candy for a two count. Arai was spent but kept trying to fight back until Mizuki caught her with the Cutie Special, hit her with a Missile Dropkick and drop her with another Cutie Special to win the match.

After the match Mizuki stuck her hand out to help Arai get back up and the two hugged. Arai left the ring and Mizuki thanked the fans for coming to the show as well as the fans who watched the stream from home. She said Arai is tough like Superman and by fighting her she could feel how amazing she is. The baton was passed through everyone in Tokyo Joshi Pro today from the very first match to the main event and Mizuki was happy to run with it at the end. If Arai is Superman, Mizuki is the Princess Of Princesses and she next wants to go win the Tokyo Princess Cup as the reigning Princess Champion! Arai admitted she kind of knew Mizuki was too high of a hurdle for her today. As much as she wanted to win the Princess Title her first time challenging for the belt made her realize she still can’t reach it yet. She also knows this wasn’t a once in a lifetime chance and she has time to become someone good enough to wear the belt around her waist someday. When that day comes she will challenge with confidence and would be happy if it’s Mizuki she has to beat to become champion.

Turns out it’s going to take more than just sasumata poles to take the Princess Tag Team Titles away from Kyoraku Kyomei! For the last month Daydream have been using sasumatas to torture the champions and get into their heads. Hyper Misao’s first counter measure was to promise she wouldn’t use her Hero Spray in the match and place it down on the mat. She then pulled out a second can and immediately sprayed Daydream with it. When the fight went around ringside Miu Watanabe used the sasumata to hook onto Shoko Nakajima and carry her up high before throwing her down to the floor. She and Rika Tatsumi also used the poles to swing and spin their opponents around in the ring. Misao then had to bring out her second counter measure, the Hyper Mobile! She ended up crashing it into Mahiro Kiryu but then Kyoraku Kyomei and Daydream charged into each other like it was a joust! Both teams wiped each other out so it was all even when the action moved back into the ring. Daydream tried to both do top rope moves on seperate corners but Kyoraku Kyomei countered it with their own Avalanche moves. Daydream did the Daydream Eternity on Nakajima by Misao broke the count at two. Nakajima then countered Watanabe’s Tear Drop into a Hurricanrana and did the Northern Lights Suplex only for Tatsumi to break the pin. The champions then got the upper hand when Nakajima gave Watanabe the Double Arm DDT while Misao used Vanitas on Tatsumi. That left the coast clear for Nakajima to climb the top turnbuckle and hit the Diving Senton on Watanabe for the win. Nakajima was worried the match would end in a time limit draw but she thinks her strength was the difference maker that pushed Kyoraku Kyomei towards victory. Tatsumi is disappointed that Daydream couldn’t win but she at least thinks her and Watanabe showed how good they would look as models advertising the sasumata poles.

There was one title change on the show and it came when Moka Miyamoto defeated Suzume for the International Princess Championship! Suzume added a rope walk Flying Facecrusher to her moveset and followed it up with the low range Ring A Bell. But when she jumped from the ropes to do the Spring Ring A Bell, Miyamoto dodged it and connected with the Zero Fighter Kick. Suzume was helpless from there and got pinned with the Korokan afterward for the title change. Miyamoto happily cried over winning her first championship especially because it happened two days before the 5th anniversary of her debut match. She is also pleased that the move she originally created for her first title challenge was what won her the match today. She is now looking forward to defending the title against foreign challengers so she can show them Japanese pro wrestling. Suzume is sad to see her title reign stop here when she feels like she is at her strongest. But having the title expanded her world and the reason she won it is because everyone believed in her. She knows she will bounce back from this and not miss out on the hot summer ahead.

The return of Billie Starkz to Japan also meant the return of the big move heavy style of wrestling you’d see on the American indies. Miyu Yamashita was happy to fight that way too even if she ends up getting a bit of a headache from it afterwards. At one point Starkz lifted her up at ringside and did a running Alabama Slam into the ring apron that saw Yamashita almost smack her head off of the edge. Yamashita returned the favour by giving Starkz the Attitude Adjustment from the ring apron to the floor. Back in the ring Starkz started getting frustrated when a Swanton Bomb and Tombstone Piledriver would not put Yamashita away. She then tried lifting her up for the Sugoi Driver but Yamashita slipped off behind her and applied a Sleeper Hold. Starkz used the Alabama Slam again to throw Yamashita into the corner and went for another Sugoi Driver but it was countered into a Victory Roll that led to Yamashita German Suplexing Starkz into the turnbuckles! Yamashita then hit the Crash Rabbit Heat in the middle of the ring to pin Starkz for the three count. Backstage Yamashita said today was the first time in three months she’s been in a TJPW ring and in that time she spent a lot of her tour with Starkz. She’s amazed at what Starkz has accomplished while only being 20 years old and enjoys fighting her, even when she does some crazy unexpected things. She wants Starkz to wrestle in TJPW again and suggested they even team up here. Starkz calls Yamashita one of her best opponents. Also as much as she was happy to wrestle on TJPW’s Dallas show, she said nothing can replace the feeling of wrestling on a TJPW show in Japan.

A lot of effort went into the entrances for the intergender tag match. TeaDK walked out dressed like royalty and being accompanied by servants. Meanwhile Maki Itoh made sure El Desperado got the full NEO Itoh Respect Army experience when the two of them danced to “Setsunairo”! Things went badly for TeaDK from the start. Desperado caught a Big Boot from Chris Brookes and threw his foot right into Emi Sakura’s face, causing her to get a nose bleed. Then Desperado and Brookes fought all the way up to the second floor to do the stretched rubber band spot on Itoh back in the ring. Brookes then introduced Itoh to Bunbun and the puppet gave her the middle finger. Itoh grabbed Bunbun and threw him out of the ring in response. Sakura was able to put Desperado in the Romero Special but Brookes used a Piledriver to get rid of him. Sakura then beat down Itoh with a Double Arm Backbreaker and Short-Range Lariat. Itoh showed resistance by sticking up her middle finger but Sakura then finished her off with the Queen’s Gambit to pin her. Backstage Sakura said the NEO Itoh Respect Army put 100% into their entrance but when the bell rang they didn’t give it their all. She also said Brookes didn’t do his share of the work either so this win was all entirely thanks to herself! Itoh praised Despy for the entrance and called him a great idol along with being a great IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion. She is now thinking of uniting all of the NEO Itoh Respect Army together so they can release a debut CD together.

Everyone had to watch their backs for the 3 Way Tag Match. Arisu Endo and Haru Kazashiro started off the match exchanging chain holds until Yuki Kamifuku eye raked the both of them. She then called VENY in so VENYU could work over Kazashiro until Endo & Jada Stone took control. Kazashiro continued taking the brunt of the attacks until she could tag in Yuki Aino. VENY got time in the ring with Stone and Kazashiro that ended with a triple down and tags to their partners. The two members of the Tokyo Joshi Tokusatsu Club then turned it up a notch with Aino giving Stone & Endo a Double Side Suplex. Things broke down with VENY doing a Moonsault onto Stone outside the ring while Kamifuku tried to finish off whoever she could find. But Kazashiro came in to give her the Fisherman Suplex. That left Aino in the ring with Endo. Aino countered the Ju no Okite into a Running Bulldog and then used the UBV on Endo to pin her. Kazashiro said this was her first 3 Way Tag match and she didn’t know what to do during the chaos. Aino praised the other teams for being strong and admitted some luck went their way. But they’re going to use this positive power to do more. VENYU were annoyed because they thought this was going to be an easy win. VENY is also noticing the last few times she’s been teaming with Kamifuku they’ve been losing. She doesn’t get invited to TJPW much so when she does she wants to get a belt! Kamifuku told her they can go to Ginza if she wants to look for a new belt.

Some new looks were on display for the 8-Woman Tag Match. Kaya Toribami and Chika Nanase had new costumes while Toga wore a fancy pair of sunglasses that look similar to the ones Kira Summer wears. Yuna Manase showed up with a new title belt to go along with the Kitsune World Title. Yesterday she won the Daily Sports Tag Team Title over at a PURE-J show. She accidentally dropped that belt to the floor during her ring entrance. Mahiro Kiryu’s once per match apology was her saying sorry for bringing a hot woman like Manase here when it’s already so hot every day. The match came down to Nanase lifting up Wakana Uehara into the Inari Torii Kai only for Mifu Ashida to kick her from behind. Uehara later jumped onto Nanase and rolled her into the Bannana Pillow to make her give up. Toga said her team had a good mix of power and flexibility to win. The wrestlers with power made up for those who didn’t have any and it went the other way with flexibility. Toga & Uehara were also happy to wrestle Manase who had already graduated from TJPW years before they debuted. They were able to show her some of TJPW’s new faces that have popped up while she was gone. Manase thought she had gotten stronger after winning another championship yesterday but she wasn’t able to help her teammates today. She learned she will still have to become even stronger.

Pom Harajuku showed up with her face painted to match Kyoko Inoue’s design but when it was time for their tag match to begin, their opponents decided to take a nap in the ring. Harajuku convinced Inoue they should go straight for the pin but Raku rolled the both of them on top of Andreza Giant Panda for a nearfall. Raku & Andreza then piled themselves on top of them for another nearfall. Inoue was then put to sleep by the power of Raku’s eyemask and lullaby but Harajuku woke her up by screaming. Inoue tried attacking Andreza with Mongolion Chops but Andreza knocked her back with his own version of the move as well as a Spinning Back Fist. Andreza also swatted Harajuku away at points but she was able to knock him down with a Missile Dropkick to the back. Raku gave Inoue a Russian Leg Sweep with an assist from Andreza pushing them over. Andreza then knocked out Harajuku with a Headbutt and pinned her with the Andreza Press. Raku said her team spent most of the day sleeping which is why they were able to win. Andreza’s handler Ossan Tiger agreed because Andreza slept for more than 10 hours, the perfect amount. Harajuku was upset not because she lost but because Inoue wasn’t looking when she was doing her best. Next time she will show Inoue just how cool she is.

The rookie Ren Konatsu got to be on the winning side of a tag team match for the first time. She has HIMAWARI to thank for that. Konatsu was taken out by Shino Suzuki late in the match leaving HIMAWARI to fight Uta Takami. She broke out of the Koala Clutch to give Takami the Princess Drop. Then after that she pinned Takami with the Sunflower Tempest. HIMAWARI was happy to be in the opening match at Ota Ward Gymnasium again because she wanted to make up for losing the opening match at “GRAND PRINCESS ’25” back in March. She also wanted to lead Konatsu for her first big event match of her career. Konatsu only just debuted but she said she has a strong desire to liven things up. Takami is disappointed she lost but appreciates getting to experience all kinds of emotions like happiness, frustration and fun! She hopes some day she will go on a bus tour across Japan with Suzuki for a wrestling trip together.

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Yuki Arai

Welcome to the middle point of the year and the second of three visits to Ota Ward Gymnasium in 2025. As we enter part two in this trilogy of big venue events for Tokyo Joshi Pro this year I’m trying to figure out if a three act story can be pieced together in regards to the company’s top champion. It’s either going to be that or the inauguration of their next ace. A successful tour of Texas earlier this month has provided a gust of momentum for TJPW going into the show and perhaps even a fresh group of eyes looking towards the event, at least internationally. On the undercard a lot of the wrestlers are focusing on the upcoming Tokyo Princess Cup. Even a few of the champions have set up goals to win the tournament while holding their titles. That’s if they make it out of Ota Ward with the belt still in their hands of course. Then once the Cup is done with the road will take TJPW back here for “WRESTLE PRINCESS VI” in September. Now let’s see if this really is going to be Act II of a year long story.

1. HIMAWARI & Ren Konatsu Vs Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami

I don’t know what it is about the new rookie but whenever I look into Ren Konatsu’s eyes I see the crazy vibes of MAO hiding deep in there somewhere. This is way, way down the line by the way because she hasn’t even entered her third month as a pro wrestler yet. All I’m saying is it only takes the little sheep toy clipped to her belt to start whispering ideas into her head and next thing you know she’s using her opponents to smash plastic boxes into pieces. If the sheep suddenly gets replaced with a Labubu then we’re really going to see some trouble down the line.

I thought TJPW had something going on for HIMAWARI and Shino Suzuki by making them team up every now and then going back to the previous Ota Ward show. Instead they are going to be opponents here. HIMAWARI is teaming with Konatsu and is the only one in this match who qualified for the Princess Cup. Suzuki’s failure to get past the prelimary rounds may become a pivotal point in her career because she is now seeing how little progress she’s been making in her three years as a wrestler. Uta Takami meanwhile has her whole future ahead of her and had a big role on this year’s “HYPE!” show. Maybe she’s the one I should be worried about possibly turning crazy instead of Konatsu.

2. Andreza Giant Panda & Raku Vs Kyoko Inoue & Pom Harajuku

A potential monster bout ended up changing its plans but in doing so brings in a brand new joshi legend into the TJPW ring for the first time. Max The Impaler was supposed to return to Japan so they could team up with Pom Harajuku again. Unfortunately according to TJPW Max has health issues preventing them from being able to travel for the show so that put a stop to Pompaler getting back together for now. Harajuku’s new tag partner is the fearsome and face painted Kyoko Inoue! I wonder if United Japan Pro Wrestling is the reason why we’re getting this appearance? Inoue is the founder and current president of World Woman Pro-Wrestling Diana based in Kanagawa. The joshi group recently joined UJPW as a supporting member and TJPW is already a member so the connection is there to be made.

There might be a jealous Up Up Girl in the locker room once Inoue is in the ring because one of the highlights of her classic matches was always the Giant Swing. Will she be the one to do it to Andreza Giant Panda? The last time Andreza showed up in TJPW he went viral for getting bonked over the head with a Pico Pico Hammer. This place is starting to get too dangerous for him. For Raku though she’s been living a dream ever since her last visit to Ota Ward. Back in March she beat Harajuku to win the SETUP All Asia Women’s Title, her first proper championship reign. While she no longer holds the belt things are just going swimmingly for her lately. This match is just going to be another trip inside her sleepy wonderland. Maybe she’ll bring the Buc-ee toy she bought in Texas with her for Andreza to play with.

3. Yuna Manase, Mahiro Kiryu, Kaya Toribami & Chika Nanase Vs Wakana Uehara, Toga, Mifu Ashida & Kira Summer

Time to throw a mixture of women into the ring, shake it back and forth and see who comes out of it the last ones standing. Yuna Manase pays another visit to TJPW. While she’s been rocking the Ganbare☆Joshi division over in Ganbare☆Pro in Japan, she’s also been flying the flag for Kitsune over in America as their top champion. Mahiro Kiryu was settling into a new tag team with Haruna Neko until Neko got injured yet again so she’s sort of just been floating around at the moment. Kaya Toribami finally had something of a level up by getting to challenge for the MLW Women’s Featherweight Title last month and putting in a pretty good performance. She also has a new costume ready to debut for this show so maybe things are looking up for the bird. Chika Nanase is starting to move up into the next phase of her young career. Where she goes from here is anyone’s guess.

Over on the other team Wakana Uehara is progressing at a nice pace. She has a named tag team as part of Ober Eats, got to challenge for a championship and at this point is pretty much guaranteed to be part of the crew for every USA tour. As long as she keeps her appetite, I see good things coming for her in the future. The times Toga has mostly been standing out lately is from whenever she gets to play an ikemen role of some sort. In regular matches though she’s had a few setbacks lately. Mifu Ashida’s win-loss record since coming here hasn’t been great either. She’s been a bit busy doing other things lately but a time like now is always a good place to start turning things around. Kira Summer has been seeing the growth of women’s wrestling in Asia and Australia this year. It is motivating her to join in and play her part in helping it grow even more.

4. 3 Way Tag Match: Yuki Kamifuku & VENY Vs Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro Vs Arisu Endo & Jada Stone

Ober Eats is one of the new teams to appear on the scene this year but Yuki Kamifuku is going back to one of her favorite choices in her wardrobe. She is bringing VENY back so VENYU can team up together again! VENY has spent the year ruling over SEAdLINNNG with a five month reign as Beyond The Sea Champion. Once that title run came to an end she’s been going from place to place in the joshi scene with TJPW becoming her next brief stop. Yuki Aino is fresh off of coming out as the main character of this year’s “HYPE!” show. The lesson she learned coming out of it is she will never be alone in TJPW and that might finally be what leads her out of the maze she’s been stuck in ever since her sister Nodoka Tenma graduated. I’m probably going to be writing that opinion again and again until the end of time.

Aino will be teaming with Haru Kazashiro who continues to grow into a future high card player for the promotion. Once she gets her final year of high school out of the way, the sky’s the limit for how far she will go in the ring. She is already developing the ring smarts to gradually figure out how to perfect the Fisherman Suplex but a 3 Way Tag Match like this is probably too chaotic an environment to show that off. The third team is a fitting mixture of pep and spark. Arisu Endo has been taking a back seat for her Daisy Monkey’s partners success. She hasn’t been letting that dampen her spirits. Jada Stone is now well accustomed to TJPW but it looks like she has a new place to call home. She was recently offered a contract by TNA so I’m not sure if she will continue to do tours here. If this is close to the end then she’s certainly made good use of her time in TJPW.

5. Special Tag Match: El Desperado & Maki Itoh Vs Chris Brookes & Emi Sakura

Are there as many wrestlers out there who are currently living out their dreams like El Desperado has? He gets to fulfill his most violent desires by having several deathmatches with Jun Kasai, pals around with the likes of MAO and Chris Brookes especially when it comes to the more sleazy indies style of wrestling. There’s nobody else in New Japan who is quite as in sync with the current wrestling scene than good ol’ Despy. Now he gets to tick off another line in his bucket list by getting to team with Maki Itoh! The two got to know each other in America two years ago when they were both booked on the same GCW show. The idea was thrown around for them to team up. Now that it’s happening it finally occurred to Despy that he has to learn Itoh’s song and dance in order to be accepted into the Itoh Respect Army. Rehersals so far have not been promising. Brookes was at least able to pull the dance off so the current IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion has no excuse. Come on man you used to carry a guitar around. Surely you can carry a tune too?

TJPW brought Despy & Itoh together because they needed a poison pairing that could match the same level as TeaDK. Brookes & Emi Sakura teamed up in TJPW last March for “GRAND PRINCESS ’24” and it didn’t go according to plan for them. They lost to The Magical Sugar Rabbits and blamed each other over the result. Time healed those wounds so they are teaming up again to give TJPW another go. Sakura has had several matches with Sakura over the years, most of them in an AEW ring. Thankfully they haven’t needed to staple each other over and over like Brookes and Despy do whenever they fight. Oh God, don’t let Itoh arm herself with a stapler!

6. Special Single Match: Miyu Yamashita Vs Billie Starkz

One of Miyu Yamashita’s toughest rivals on her excursions to America is Billie Starkz. When it comes to their previous matches Starkz has beaten Yamashita more than the other way around. It’s a friendly rivalry though and the two of them even had something of a good tag team going on during Yamashita’s recent stay in GCW. So when Yamashita heard that Starkz would love nothing more than to wrestle in Japan again she got TJPW to set this match up.

So yeah, that’s pretty much it. Not a lot of story to set this up and it remains to be seen if this is just a one off attraction match to have for the big show. Yamashita only has one championship left to win in TJPW to have achieved every single accomplishment available to her. If anything her winning this match would be done to establish her as the favorite for the Princess Cup. A win for Starkz here though should be followed up on. A younger wrestler beating Yamashita in her home promotion is worth a title shot of some sort down the line. We don’t really need to worry about locker room politics either because it’s become pretty clear recently that Yamashita has some sort of deal in place with AEW/ROH.

7. International Princess Title: Suzume (c) Vs Moka Miyamoto

Now we get into the big three matches of the show. The three championships are all currently on a reliable group of wrestlers so where the belts go from here is a good question to think about. If Suzume was to lose the International Princess Title here she would have left a good mark as champion. Her reign has been a little bit different than the others thanks to a pair of defences against Jada Stone, one in Japan and the rematch in America. It’s unusual for someone to defend a Princess Title against the same challenger twice in one reign. It’s also not that common for the IP Champion to defend the belt overseas when that’s meant to be the whole bloody point of it! When it’s all said and done, Suzume will have a good argument towards having one of the more defining runs as IP Champion. She’s already said she feels like she has evolved from a bee into a hornet because of this title. Her ultimate goal is to become queen bee of TJPW!

Her challenger Moka Miyamoto has also become attached to the belt but it’s becoming for a pretty bad reason. This is going to be her third time challenging for the IP Title after failing to win it twice before. It is the title she wants most because she believes having an international championship is the best way for her to spread Japanese culture across the world. Part of that culture is Japan’s technology and Miyamoto thinks there has to be some kind of Japanese technology out there that is good for getting rid of hornets! The two traded wins with each other during the Texas tour so it’s all even going into Ota Ward.

8. Princess Tag Team Titles: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe

Okay where do sasumata poles stand on the police brutality scale because they’re going to be mentioned a lot in this part of the preview and the girls have already used them to literally crucify Tetsuya Koda. The existence of these things have been the blight of Kyoraku Kyomei’s last couple of weeks. Other than that things are going great for the Princess Tag Team Champions. The big kaiju Shoko Nakajima was let loose in MLW and she quickly acquired the MLW Women’s Title. Meanwhile Hyper Misao lived through the stress of putting together the third annual “HYPE!” show and came out of it in one piece. They were looking forward to their next crazy adventure with the Princess Tag Titles but weren’t ready for how it would be set up.

One year ago the headline match of “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24” was the battle of Daydream between Rika Tatsumi and Miu Watanabe. In the aftermath the two appeared to have gone their separate ways and they went almost a year without teaming up again. That was until a month ago when Daydream reunited and ambushed Kyoraku Kyomei with sasumata poles, demanding a title shot. The champions agreed to the match because Daydream are the kind of strong team they’re looking to beat. Ever since then Tatsumi & Watanabe have been attacking Nakajima & Misao with sasumata poles in their preview matches. Kyoraku Kyomei reached their breaking point over it and stole the sasumatas away from their challengers. They then tried to properly recycle them under the watchful eye of GM Koda until Daydream appeared to try and take their weapons back by force. That led to Nakajima & Misao taping the poles to Koda like a crucifix but Daydream were able to take him back too. Now that the weapons are back in the challengers’ hands they have the advantage going into the title match. Will the champs decided to fight fire with fire or will they have something else under their sleeves to foil Daydream’s plan?

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Mizuki (c) Vs Yuki Arai

This is going one of two ways. Either we are firmly in Mizuki’s era as the dominant Princess Of Princess Champion where she will headline all of the Ota Ward shows or TJPW decides now is the time to crown Yuki Arai as their new top draw. Mizuki has already toppled Watanabe (to win the belt), Tatsumi and Yamashita (the two defences) in this title reign. If she beats Arai here I see her holding onto the belt for a long time to come so she can have her definitive main event run in the promotion. Arai meanwhile made the choice to go all in on having pro wrestling be her career so while she has all the time in the world to achieve the final piece of the TJPW Grand Slam, I wouldn’t be shocked to see the company strike now while the iron is hot.

History doesn’t paint a clear picture for how this is going to go. Arai won the Princess Tag Titles on her first try and Mizuki was one of the champions back then. Arai was involved with the finish but it was Saki Akai who pinned Mizuki for the victory. When it comes to the International Princess Title however Arai failed to win it twice before becoming champion on her third attempt (hey, that’s a good sign for Miyamoto). This main event is her first time fighting for the Princess Of Princess Title. Only a select few have held the title and none were ever able to beat the champion on their first try. But that’s just the kind of record a wrestler booked like Arai would go on to break, right? After all, this is the idol who only needed one Finally Axe Kick to beat the unstoppable Max The Impaler and earned an endorsement from Meiko Satomura. She’s been groomed since day one to become the promotion’s next ace and her quick success is evidence of it.

Arai is not taking this moment for granted. It’s her first big match since graduating from SKE48. When she juggled her idol career with her wrestling career she felt like she wasn’t as good as everyone else in TJPW. But now that she’s fully focused on just wrestling she is eager to go challenge all of her seniors and eventually take the lead of the promotion. Mizuki has a goal in mind to win the Princess Cup while she holds the Princess Title. She has already proved that princesses are stronger than monsters. But are they stronger than successful pop singers?

7c. Shoko Nakajima defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa with the Diving Senton (21:44).

Although she was only officially part of Tokyo Joshi Pro for one year, Yoshiko Hasegawa touched many during her time there and was given a grand farewell for her graduation from pro wrestling. She was going to fight 27 other TJPW wrestlers for her retirement match! Just a few days earlier Hasegawa won the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title so her last match also doubled up as a title defence. One by one she got to fight different opponents who all in their own way showed their thanks to her. Then somehow Tetsuya Koda got dragged into the ring by Rika Tatsumi. She choked and stomped on Koda so Hasegawa could then pin him with a Knee Drop. The pinfall counted and Hasegawa was rewarded with the first fall.

The match continued on as a Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls contest. Hasegawa was getting overwhelmed by the massive numbers disadvantage until Kaya Toribami suddenly came to her aid! She had teamed with Hasegawa when she won the Iron Man Title during the weekend and Yoppy told her it was as if they were sharing the belt with each other. That seemed to have stuck with Toribami and she helped Yoppy fight against Daisy Monkey. But while Toribami tried to hold back Arisu Endo, Hasegawa ended up taking the Ring A Bell from Suzume and was pinned to lose the second fall. Suzume was now the Iron Man Champion but Miu Watanabe quickly put her in the Giant Swing and pinned her down afterwards to take the belt from her. That title reign also only lasted for a few seconds because Mizuki did the Whirling Candy on Watanabe to pin her for the belt.

For the third and final fall Hasegawa had reached exhaustion so everyone on the other team let Shoko Nakajima fight her one on one. Hasegawa was able to get a nearfall with the Diving Double Knee Attack but Nakajima wore her down with Elbow Strikes before finishing her off with the Double Arm DDT and Diving Senton combo. After the match Nakajima talked about the times she went to go watch Ganbare☆Pro and Daisuke Kiso would always mix her up with Yoppy because they both look the same from behind. She also said Hasegawa has never been selfish and was always respectful to others, even to the most junior wrestlers like Ren Konatsu. Because Hasegawa chose to end her career with TJPW, Nakajima told her to live her life selfishly from now on.

Hasegawa said she is always reserved and polite with everyone because she is always scared of being disliked. But TJPW is not like that because everyone here is unique. That is why when she decided on her retirement she allowed herself to be very selfish. In return TJPW made her the most wonderful road to retirement and she is grateful for it. Her graduation ceremony then took place where she was given gifts by Toribami and HIMAWARI on behalf of TJPW. Then some comedians (Miku Aono among them) Hasegawa had worked with outside of wrestling congratulated her. After that several women from Actwres girl’Z posed with her for a group photo. There was also her friends from GanPro and other indies showing up like Riara, YuuRI, Banny Oikawa and Erina Yamanaka. Even her debut opponent Tsukasa Fujimoto made an appearance to be in the ring with her one last time. The final guest to stand with her was Teppei Arita who had been doing guest commentary for the show.

Yoppy closed out the show with a speech. She debuted in 2019 and a lot had happened to her over the last 6 years, like breaking her neck. But she is happy to be standing in the ring the way she is right now. She lost her Iron Man Title but has gained something even more important from TJPW. She promised to support the company as a fan from now on and hopes to see everyone again at the shows. She then received her ten bell salute and retirement call to end the show.

Daydream were without their sasumata poles today and apparently Kyoraku Kyomei are to blame. Before their 6-Woman Tag Match began Hyper Misao said that she and Nakajima got rid of the poles and they are able to beat Daydream without them. Daydream thought on the fly when everyone fought out of the ring up to the aisleway. Watanabe suddenly picked up Tatsumi over her shoulder and Tatsumi made herself into the shape of a human sasumata to be used as a weapon on their opponents! Back in the ring Yuki Aino gave Toga the Bulldog Headlock and Nakajima followed up with the Northern Lights Suplex to get the win.

Raku wanted to sleep in the middle of the ring during the 3 Way Match so Mahiro Kiryu and Shino Suzuki each tried to quietly pin her. She kicked out in her sleep so Kiryu then tried to Body Slam Suzuki on top of her. Raku rolled out of the way and then rolled back on top of Suzuki so Kiryu had to break the pin. She threw Raku’s pillow away and apologised to her because she looked so comfortable sleeping.

The final two spots in the Tokyo Princess Cup have been filled. Today’s qualification matches were the last in the preliminary league. Moka Miyamoto defeated Toribami to take one of the final places. She expected Toribami to be tough coming off of her recent title match with Nakajima and is feeling glad she won. Miyamoto has a lot to look forward to before the Cup begins, such as the Texas tour and her International Princess Title match at Ota Ward Gymnasium. Toribami doesn’t think she was beaten in technique or spirit. She wonders if she just got too excited today? That might also explain why she decided to help out Hasegawa during her retirement match because she wanted to see Yoppy win.

The other last spot goes to HIMAWARI although she had to get a taste of her own medicine to earn it. Pom Harajuku came down to the ring wearing large hair extensions to use as a weapon similar to how HIMAWARI whips opponents with her own hair. Harajuku tricked Fumirin into holding the hair so they could Clothesline HIMAWARI together. However HIMAWARI dodged the Pom de Justice and put Harajuku in the Half Crab Hold. It was right in the centre of the ring so Harajuku gave up. HIMAWARI was prepared for this match and is ready to become the woman of the summer! Harajuku said she put all of her energy into this match because she couldn’t wrestle Haruna Neko in the first round. By carrying Neko’s feelings with her it caused her hair to grow long! But she understands her hair became way too long so she is going to work hard just little by little from now on.

At the start of the show Hyper Misao announced there will be a repeat performance of “HYPE! 3” being held at Kitazawa Town Hall on 3rd August! She explained she wasn’t in perfect physical and mental condition for the show which led to her making decisions she would not have done under normal circumstances. Now she is back in perfect condition she wants to do the show again!

Sometime after the show ended, Mizuki was hanging out backstage with the Iron Man Title and also her trusty Pico Pico Hammer. Raku approached her and sang her to sleep with a lullaby in an attempt to win the belt. However Raku felt sleepy too and took a nap while the referee noticed the hammer resting on top of Mizuki’s sleeping body. He counted to three and declared the Pico Pico Hammer as the new champion! Then shortly after that Sanshiro Takagi found out what happened. He found the hammer, gave it the Stunner and pinned it to become the new champion.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION” Results

June 28, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 28/06/2025
TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi
214 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Exhibition Match: Ai Shimizu Vs Yoshiko Hasegawa ended in a Time Limit Draw (3:00).
2. Shoko Nakajima defeated Ren Konatsu with the Unmanned Local Train Hold (7:53).
3. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Gabai Ji-chan & Mahiro Kiryu when Suzume pinned Kiryu with the Ring A Bell (12:41).
4. Tae Honma & Miyuki Takase defeated Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami when Honma submitted Hasegawa with an Arm Lock (13:59).
*Special Referee: Nao Kakuta
5. Mizuki & Miu Watanabe defeated Haru Kazashiro & Uta Takami when Mizuki pinned Kazashiro with the Cutie Special (17:14).

The present main eventers of Tokyo Joshi Pro fought against two possible future main eventers on today’s TJPW Inspiration show. Haru Kazashiro grabbed Mizuki in an Armbreaker while Uta Takami jumped onto Miu Watanabe to apply the Koala Clutch. However Watanabe was able to break up both submission holds by slamming Takami onto Kazashiro. Mizuki then blocked Kazashiro from doing the Fisherman Suplex and cut her off by the ropes with a Diving Foot Stomp. She then won the match using the Cutie Special. Mizuki asked for a handshake after the match but then ignored the other team when they offered her one. Watanabe did shake hands with Kazashiro but ignored Takami for some reason. Mizuki thanked everyone for coming to the show because it was TJPW’s first time at TOKYO SQUARE In Itabashi. She’s expecting the summer to get hot but it’s already becoming too hot for her right now. Watanabe said everybody thinks of them as princesses so today you can call them Princess Tag!

Nao Kakuta made a special appearance on the show to officiate a tag match between Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kaya Toribami and Tae Honma & Miyuki Takase. The latter team started to argue with each other when things weren’t going their way. Kakuta tried to calm them down when Honma decided that Kakuta was the only one on her side. The two of them then Irish Whipped everyone else into the corner. Takase then tried using Kakuta for double team moves by Suplexing her onto Hasegawa but Kakuta reversed it and Hasegawa rolled away. Takase used a Missile Dropkick to take down Haseawa & Toribami. Honma gave Hasegawa a Modified DDT for a nearfall and then put her in an Arm Lock to make her give up. Kakuta was later asked if she would like to be a referee again. She doesn’t plan to but if she’s given another opportunity she wouldn’t mind taking it. Toribami complained about Kakuta playing favorites in the match but Kakuta, Honma & Takase told her it was all in her head.

In a promotion that is usually filled with youthful, fast paced wrestlers Gabai Ji-chan slowed things down with his elderly movements. He also thought he was teaming up with Daisy Monkey until Daisuke Kiso guided him over to Mahiro Kiryu’s corner. There were moments when Ji-chan was able to keep up with Suzume & Arisu Endo until his body couldn’t take it anymore. Maybe it’s all in the cane because he threw it towards Suzume and when she caught it, all of a sudden she was bent over double moving like an old lady. Ji-chan then kicked the cane away making Suzume collapse on the mat. He then went for the Swanton Bomb but Endo pulled Suzume out of the way, causing a chain reaction where Kiryu was pulled into Suzume’s place and Ji-chan landed onto the back of her legs instead. Endo took down Ji-chan with a Neckbreaker Drop and Suzume then pinned Kiryu with the Ring A Bell.

The rookie Ren Konatsu was given a big chance to wrestle Shoko Nakajima one on one. The match was mostly grapple based with Konatsu applying a Sleeper only for Nakajima to collapse it. Konatsu tried turning it into a Cradle but Nakajima rolled out of that too and maneuvered everything into catching her opponent with the Unmanned Local Train Hold for the tap out.

Hasegawa wrestled twice on the show, although the first bout was only a three minute exhibition. Ai Shimizu was invited back to wrestle in TJPW for the first time in 9 years just so Hasegawa could get a chance to wrestler her, even if it was just for a brief moment in time. Three minutes obviously wasn’t enough time to determine a winner and the time ran out while Hasegawa was kicking out of a Romero Special and putting Shimizu into a her own submission hold. Afterwards Hasegawa pointed out that Shimizu never actually retired from pro wrestling so she would love to see what she will do next. The two have happy memories together and Shimizu thanked Hasegawa for choosing her as one of her last opponents before retirement. Similar to what Kakuta said above, Shimizu told reporters that if an offer comes her way she may be interested in wrestle again if her schedule allows it.

Today was Rise Shirai’s first complete show as TJPW’s new ring announcer. She was joined by Chika Nanase for the show’s opening call.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HYPER MISAO PRODUCE ~ HYPE! 3” Results

June 27, 2025

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HYPER MISAO PRODUCE ~ HYPE! 3 ~MY UNIVERSE~”, 27/06/2025
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall
235 Fans – Super No Vacancy

-. Shoko Domanakajima (Shoko Nakajima), Shinogono Suzuki (Shino Suzuki) & Mahrio Kiryunen (Mahiro Kiryu) defeated Haruchi (Haru Kazashiro), Ra-chan (Raku) and Suzumebachi (Suzume) when Domanakajima pinned Haruchi with the Student Council Bomber (?:??).
-. Shoko Domanakajima (Shoko Nakajima), Shinogono Suzuki (Shino Suzuki) & Mahrio Kiryunen (Mahiro Kiryu) defeated Sika-sensai (Rika Tatsumi) & Toga Amasawa (Toga) when Domanakajima pinned Amasawa with the Student Council Bomber (?:??).
-. Shoko Domanakajima (Shoko Nakajima) & Yuki Koino (Yuki Aino) defeated Urahime (Uta Takami), Shinogono Suzuki (Shino Suzuki) & Mahrio Kiryunen (Mahiro Kiryu) when Domanakajima pinned Urahime with the Student Council Bomber (?:??).
1. Special Single Match: Hyper Misao Vs Yuki Aino ended in a Time Limit Draw (15:00).

For the third year in a row Hyper Misao gets to produce her own show and it hasn’t gotten any easier. Three days before the event took place the entire cast waited at the dojo for rehearsals but Misao was nowhere to be seen. Yuki Aino decided to leave the others and go look for her. Meanwhile Misao was isolated in an office room, having purposely taped herself onto a chair so she could complete the script for the show. She found the task so difficult that she started praying to the wrestling gods to give her the strength to continue. After drinking one energy drink too many, she blanked out for a second. After coming to, Misao had a brainflash and suddenly realized the secret of pro wrestling as well as the universe!

Freshly invigorated, Misao went back to work typing as much as she could. Unbeknownst to her a mystery figure entered the room, approached her from behind and knocked her out with a bell hammer! As this was happening Aino was walking down the street and saw the figure carrying a still conscious Misao into a nearby parking lot. Aino rushed towards them, grabbed Misao and pulled her away. But the two clashed heads, knocking both of them down. The mystery person picked the now unconscious Misao up onto their shoulder and walked off.

Aino woke up to Mahiro Kiryu, Suzume and Shoko Nakajima all standing over her checking if she was alright. Something was wrong because she started thinking she was Misao and asked the others what had happened to Aino? Once she saw her reflection in a mirror, she started to realize what was going on. By bumping heads Misao and Aino had switched bodies! Back in the dojo everyone was told what had happened. Misao was now in Aino’s body and Aino was now in Misao’s body, which had just been kidnapped. They also have this show to worry about so they agreed in the meantime to do all that they can to make “HYPE! 3” a success.

Our story begins during the year 20XX in a version of Japan where pro wrestling is a nationally certified profession. Only those who pass a national exam are allowed to take on the job which for 15 consecutive years has been voted by children as the No. 1 career they want to have in the future. A private school in located in Shinjuku called the Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling Academy brings in students from all over Japan because it has an enrollment rate of 90% among its graduates. Today is the first day of class for the academy’s newest transfer student, Yuki Koino (Yuki Aino). Unfortunately Yuki was running late for class so she needed to get there quick. As she was running, she bumped into somebody wearing another school uniform (Toga) and knocked her down. When the student wouldn’t accept Yuki’s apology, Yuki called her a jerk and continued on her way to class. However something about that moment made Yuki feel excited in a way she never felt before.

Yuki made it to the academy in time and was introduced to the rest of the classroom by the homeroom teacher Rika-sensai (Rika Tatsumi). A different student then hurriedly entered the room. It was Rune Okure (Uta Takami), another transfer student. She introduced herself by saying her strength is she’s the most competitive person in the universe. Her weakness is also that she’s the most competitive person in the universe. Today’s lesson was the history of why pro wrestling became the most important profession in the country. It is because pro wrestlers protect the Earth from aliens! Once there was an evil alien who invaded the planet threatening to conquer it when a wrestler challenged it to a wrestling match. The wrestler won and when the bell rang, the entire area was enveloped in light, weakening the alien and saving the entire planet.

The sound of the ring bell also has the power to wipe out memories. A side demonstration was put together by a normal civilian (HIMAWARI) who used the ring bell to repel a pickup artist (Tetsuya Koda). She had to keep ringing it though because once the artist lost his memory, he would forget what had happened and begin flirting with her again. Back in the classroom Rune asked Rika-sensai if a wrestler ever lost to an alien? Rika told her so far it has never happened. Pro wrestlers are the strongest. Rune found that last sentence to be interesting and repeated it to herself…

Later in the day, Yuki was visited by three members of the school’s Discipline Committee (Suzume, Raku & Haru Kazashiro) who are there to enforce the rules of good behavior, purity and integrity. They noticed her’s blonde hair goes against their rules so they started calling her a delinquint who is impure and violating compliance. Their solution was to dye her hair black straight away! They all grabbed Yuki and brought out a bottle of hair dye when all of a sudden the student who Yuki bumped into earlier came out to save her! The student is Toga Amasawa and it turns out she is so popular in the school that other students formed a fan club, which goes against the Discipline Committee’s rules. Yuki & Toga freed themselves from the Committee’s clutches and were about to make their escape when another group of students suddenly approached them.

To the tune of “Timing” by Black Biscuits, three students made their entrance to the ring. They were all members of the Student Council: President Shoko Domanakajima (Shoko Nakajima), Secretary Shinogono Suzuki (Shino Suzuki) and Vice President Mahrio Kiryunen (Mahiro Kiryu). The Council were here to crack down on the Committee’s strict and tyrannical ways. After chasing the Committee away, the Council then tried to recruit Yuki and Toga to join their side because they are currently understaffed. Toga wasn’t interested and walked off by herself, leaving Yuki behind. She didn’t want to join but all of a sudden Rune ran in saying she will do it alongside her! Looks like Yuki has no choice but to go along with it.

With her first day of school finished, Yuki walked home in the rain where she once again saw Toga down the street. Toga had found a kitten that was getting soaked in the rain so he was doing what he could to help it. Yuki joined in and had a talk where Toga explained his poor family background to her. Feeling sympathetic, Yuki asked Toga to meet her at this same spot tomorrow so she can help him take care of the kitten too.

The next day at the Student Council meeting, Rune suddenly ran into the room panicking. She told everyone something weird has happened to the Discipline Committee. The Committee then arrived singing and dancing to “Cosmic Treat” by Perfume then introduced themselves as Haruchi (Haru Kazashiro), Ra-chan (Raku) and Suzumebachi (Suzume). Together the three of them make up Panic! Shoko realized that they had been taken over by aliens so they must fight to bring them back to their senses! A wrestling match suddenly broke out and despite a moment when Rune got in the way, the Council were victorious in the end. The bell rang and the Discipline Committee returned to normal, remembering why they wanted to be pro wrestlers in the first place (to take naps during matches, do Kamen Rider poses and become cooler than everyone else). They also all remembered they got Fs in their mock exams which is why they thought becoming plain and strictly following the rules would solve their problems. Yuki then taught them the lesson that pro wrestlers are strong and cool because they are true towards what they like.

Everyone then started to wonder how and why the Committee were taken over by aliens. They brought up having a black notebook that contains information on all of the transfer students when all of a sudden a loud sound made them all fall to the ground, clutching their heads in pain. When they recovered they all noticed the notebook had gone missing! Rune told everyone they need to get help from a teacher and ran off to go look for Rika-sensai. She found her in the science lab where she was trying to convince Toga to drink a special liquid that would turn her into the perfect pro wrestler! Toga refused and had to physically stop Rika from forcing her to drink it when Rune made her late entrance…

Rune returned to the others with an alarming update. Both Rika & Toga had also been taken over by aliens! The two then showed up singing and dancing to “UFO” by Pink Lady. Yuki tried to check if Toga was ok but he pushed her away, making the Student Council feel the need to start another wrestling match to save them. Again Rune stepped in trying to help but got in the Council’s way. However the Council recovered and were able to win, ringing the bell to restore Rika & Toga’s memories. Rika realized that her love for students had gotten out of control and she was no longer fit to be a teacher. Toga meanwhile admitted to Yuki that she wants actually wants to wear the same uniform as everyone else because she likes cute, girly things too. She promised not to hide her girlish side from Yuki for now on.

The situation had now become an emergency so Rika went to look for her transfer student documents to figure out what was going on. However she too was then struck by the noise attack and the documents went missing in the process. Rika-sensei had no choice but to close the school for everyone’s safety. Yuki and Shoko decided to walk home together when Suzuki chased after them, telling them that Mahiro had gotten herself into danger! She left her school bag behind and when she went back to the classroom to get it, she found Rune sitting alone trying to cover up the transfer student documents! Mahiro grabbed them wondering what it was and noticed the photograph on Rune’s document was that of a completely different person (Haruna Neko)! Before Mahiro could do anything about it, Rune knocked her out by shooting beams from her hands at her. The rest of the Student Council arrived and at this point realised that Rune was an alien all this time! Rune confessed it is true. She is actually Urahime of the Ura Earthlings and comes from the most competitive planet in the universe. She has come here to conquer Earth! During the intermission Tatsumi asked everyone in the dressing room where Misao (in Aino’s body) went. Nakajima went looking for her and found her sitting down the stairway. She asked if she was feeling nervous and told her it will be all over soon. Misao/Aino told her she’ll do her best.

Back to the story. Urahime had now revealed her true self by singing and dancing to the song “Invader Invader” by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. She then used her beam to revive Mahiro and take control of her. Suzuki ran towards them trying to save her friend but Urahime hit her with the same beam, taking control of her too. Shoko & Yuki now had to fight the three of them in a wrestling match with Shoko trying to get her friends to snap back to normal. However the power of friendship was not powerful enough to overwhelm Urahime’s beams so Shoko needed Yuki’s help to beat them. Shoko pinned Urahime and Yuki rang the bell to bring everyone back to normal.

Urahime showed regret for her actions and promised to reform if she could be allowed to join the Academy so she can study pro wrestling. Shoko gave her her endorsement because she enjoyed fighting her so much and wants to do it more. Suzuki called this a historic moment that needs to be written down. Mahiro said this school is so great that she’s definitely going to repeat the year. And so our heroes had saved Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling Academy from an alien invasion! The End.

No wait, that’s not it just yet. The story had finished and Misao/Aino gathered all the cast members to the ring when suddenly Hyper Misao walked out on the stage. Everyone thought it was Yuki Aino in Misao’s body but she dropped the act and admitted there was no body swap to begin with. Aino dropped her act too and showed everyone a video to explain what was going on. Back when Misao drank her energy drinks to finish writing the script she actually gave up, broke free from her chair and left her office. Aino caught her trying to leave the building and tried to stop her. Misao said the script was completed but she isn’t confident it will be good so she wants to disappear for a while. She’s caused everyone enough trouble already and suggested Koda can book four matches on the fly as a replacement show. Misao then ran off, leaving Aino by herself. Aino could hear other people approaching the building so she came up with a plan on the spot to pretend that somebody abducted Misao and Misao swapped bodies with Aino in the process.

Back in the ring everyone was coming to terms with the truth. Suzuki thought it made sense because body swaps don’t work that way. Nakajima however pointed out it does happen that way in pro wrestling! Raku then realized that all this time it was Aino who handled all of the preparations and rehearsals while Misao was missing. Misao apologized and talked about how last year she got injured right before “HYPE! 2”. When she came back and won the Princess Tag Team Titles with Nakajima, she had decided on the plot for this year’s show. However this year she got injured before the show again and became worried she lost everyone’s trust. She decided to run away but secretly came back today to watch the dress rehearsal and full performance. She saw all these amazingly talented people make her script turn out a hundred million times better than she expected so she had no choice but to walk out and apologize to everyone.

Aino could understand Misao’s regrets because she has many regrets too. When she was a child her sister Nodoka Tenma and their father would perform in community musicals together. She loved watching them but whenever she was asked if she would like to join them, she never had the confidence to do it. She always regretted that so when she was offered the main role of today’s show this time she wouldn’t refuse. She thanked Misao for coming up with today’s script and giving her this opportunity. When Tenma graduated from Tokyo Joshi Pro three years ago, it left Aino with a big gap in her wrestling life and she ended up feeling like she was stuck in a maze. Then when Sayuri Namba’s graduation took place recently, she realized she was never alone. She just avoided taking the time to look at everything surrounding her. The warm and uplifting TJPW ring helps broaden her world and she loves fighting in front of the fans. She is passionate now but wants to get even more passionate so she challenged Misao to a match right there, right now!

After a replay of the intro (both times included a Namba cameo) allowed the two wrestlers to get into their gear, the main event singles match between Hyper Misao and Yuki Aino began. Misao took the microphone and told everyone this is her first singles match since coming back from injury. It is a match she cannot afford to lose and she wants to be passionate from the bottom of her heart. But when she reached out to shake Aino’s hand she got a cheap shot in by kicking her in the gut. But Aino got Misao into the corner and started a Train Attack featuring the cast of the show all still acting in character. The match then became more normal and even serious afterwards. As it entered its final few minutes, Misao applied the Crossface Chicken Wing and almost smothered Aino with it but she was able to reach a rope break. Misao then climbed the top rope but Aino grabbed her and did a Super Side Suplex. They then blocked each other’s signature moves until Aino was able to pull off the Venus DDT. However Aino was too slow to make the pin and only got a two count out of it. Misao was also able to kick out of a Side Suplex and do a Flying Cross Body for a nearfall of her own when the bell rang to signal a time limit draw.

Misao told Aino after the match that is was super exciting. She doesn’t know if it’s because she has so many feelings built up inside her but this was the first time she did a singles match in such a bad mental state. Her heart has never burned hotter than it had from fighting Aino today. She trusts everybody in TJPW which is why she wants everyone to trust her. She wanted Aino to have the main role today because she always tries to help others stay calm and collected, even if it means she never gives priority to her own passions. So she was so happy when Aino approached her asking for a singles match against each other to happen on this show. Aino said Misao always puts herself down when she should never be saying things like that. Everyone here thinks Misao’s ideas are funny, they all love her for it and it makes them sad whenever she says things like that. Nakajima then spoke on the mic, telling Misao that while working hard on your own can be a good thing, is can also be a bad thing. Everyone has fun working on “HYPE!” so she shouldn’t be worrying too much. She then passed the microphone to Kiryu who admitted she had nothing to say after watching the match. Tatsumi scolder her but what she meant was she has nothing else to say that others haven’t already said. Misao took the mic back and got to close out the show. She said it didn’t felt right to do the the first two times but she’s sure it will get better as they go along. “I get HYPE! We get HYPE!”
