On today’s show Watanabe got the upper hand by leading her team to victory against Tatsumi’s team. After the match Watanabe talked about how white the new venue is. Yuki Aino said the brightness of the room makes Raku look even cuter. Watanabe then turned her attention back to Tatsumi, saying she felt both her awesomeness and madness while wrestling her today. Backstage Tatsumi said she always feels reassured when teaming with Watanabe, but fighting against her is like fighting a demon!
It was announced at the start of the show that Toga’s debut match on 6th March will be against Miyu Yamashita! Toga said she is looking forward to it despite feeling nervous.

NOAH “KEIJI MUTO GRAND FINAL PRO-WRESTLING “LAST” LOVE~HOLD OUT~”, 21/02/2023
Tokyo Dome
30,096 Fans
0. Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling Offer Match – TJPW Spark: Yuka Sakazaki, Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima & Rika Tatsumi defeated Mizuki, Maki Itoh, Miu Watanabe & Yuki Arai when Sakazaki pinned Arai with the Magical Girl Chicken Dude (11:38).
2. DDT Pro Wrestling Offer Match – Dramatic Dream Future: MAO, Shunma Katsumata, Yuki Ueno & Toi Kojima defeated Tetsuya Endo, Hideki Okatani, Yuya Koroku & Takeshi Masada when Ueno pinned Masada with the WR (9:06).
Without a doubt the biggest wrestling show to take place in Japan this year took place today with Keiji Muto retiring at the Tokyo Dome. On the undercard there were matches put together by several companies including DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro. The DDT match presented The 37KAMIINA taking on Tetsuya Endo leading a team of DDT’s future stars in the making. For Endo the match gave him an opportunity to be on the big stage for the first time since the concussion incident at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” last June. His Burning Star Press was dodged by MAO but he was able to make up for it by hitting the Sasuke Special into an Overhead Kick later on. Takeshi Masada also stepped up to the plate and brought the fight to Yuki Ueno. That moment was stopped with a German Suplex followed by Ueno’s pinpoint Dropkick. Ueno then got the pin by giving Masada the WR to give The 37KAMIINA the victory.
Backstage Ueno told reporters unfamiliar with The 37KAMIINA that the group loves to have hot matches that transforms arenas into saunas. For Muto’s retirement at the Tokyo Dome they really wanted to have a match as passionate as the occasion. Because of that MAO admitted everybody in the match were feeling nervous. Even if they made the atmosphere even just a little bit more electric he hopes the match helped build the show up towards its massive main event. Toi Kojima had a Konosuke Takeshita shirt with him to represent Takeshita in spirit so in a way all five members of the unit were together at the Tokyo Dome. Shunma Katsumata told everyone to keep doing their best so some day DDT will have their own proper show in the Dome. Endo noted that his team was not a unit at all but everyone got to see how hard they work on a regular basis. Yuya Koroku said the match is a great source of inspiration for his future in wrestling. Hideki Okatani isn’t as positive because he felt he did not give his best effort out there. The experience will fuel him to get better though. Out of all of the wrestlers involved, the match may have left the most impact on Takeshi Masada. The rookie said he will never forget the sight of the ceiling he had to stare at after he lost the match.
The pre-show featured an 8-Woman Tag Match put together by TJPW. Everyone got their own moment in the spotlight in the centre of the ring. Maki Itoh demonstrated her hard head, Miu Watanabe did the Giant Swing, Rika Tatsumi threw some Dragon Screws, Mizuki landed the Whirling Candy, Miyu Yamashita used her Return Crash kick from the corner, Yuki Arai was able to do the Full Nelson Buster and Shoko Nakajima wiped out a group of wrestlers outside with a Topé Suicida. But it was Yuka Sakazaki who brought things to an end by pinning Arai with the Magical Girl Chicken Dude.
Everyone gave their comments backstage after the match. Yamashita said their time out there in the Tokyo Dome came and went in the blink of an eye. She is really happy that TJPW played a part on a day as historic as Muto’s retirement. Sakazaki wanted to thank Muto for allowing them to have the match because it made them love pro wrestling even more. Nakajima now wants TJPW to run the Tokyo Dome themselves and does not think that dream is impossible. Tatsumi agrees and because she wants all of TJPW to be here. Watanabe wants to spread the word and tell everyone how wonderful TJPW is. Mizuki thinks the company will grow even bigger and she will do her best to headline the Dome some day. Itoh was very happy to do the Cutest Knuckle Punch In The World at the Tokyo Dome. Arai was disappointed to lose the match but still called the experience a wonderful time with wonderful wrestlers.

DDT “ROJO PRO WRESTLING IN BURLESQUE TOKYO ~KO-D TAG TEAM BATTLE ON THE STREET! SHUNMAO VS BONNO DAI SHACHO!~”, 23/02/2023
Burlesque Tokyo
1. KO-D Tag Team Titles – Falls Count Anywhere Match: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Sanshiro Takagi & Fuminori Abe
Burlesque dancers will be performing while the match is going on. Since the match is being broadcast on PPV on the PIA LIVE STREAM service, fans watching can donate to support their favorite wrestlers too. ShunMao said the match will be so hot the club will turn into a sauna. However they are already looking past their opponents because they are also looking forward to defending the KO-D Tag Team Titles against Yukio Sakaguchi & Hikaru Machida a few days later.
Meanwhile Bonno Dai Shacho have taken up pole dance training to prepare for the match! Fuminori Abe became inspired to use the surrounding environment to its fullest, wanting to use the poles on stage to create the most gruesome and erotic wrestling move he can think of. Sanshiro Takagi loved the idea but has no experience using poles so the two of them took a class at Pole & Fitness Studio Lycoris in Itabashi. There they were given a lesson by Keiko, a world pole dancing champion. Keiko suggested they should use a Headscissors while hanging from the pole and in practice it turned out to be a very powerful technique. At the end of the class both Takagi & Abe felt confident what they learned will win them the KO-D Tag Titles!

8. KO-D Tag Team Titles: MAO & Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs Yukio Sakaguchi & Hikaru Machida
9. KO-D Openweight Title Next Challenger Decision Match: HARASHIMA Vs Yukio Naya
“The Unfinished Genius” is a new nickname that’s been given to Yukio Naya to mark his rise up the ranks in DDT. There has always been high expectations for his pro wrestling career and he was reminded of it when he threw out the challenge at Yuji Hino for the KO-D Openweight Title last month. The growing confidence makes him think he will definitely beat HARASHIMA to become the No. 1 Contender. HARASHIMA has other ideas. He needs the KO-D Title to prove he is still the centre of DDT. Due to the company’s attempts to push their younger wrestlers, HARASHIMA hasn’t had much of a chance to showcase himself lately. This upcoming match may be his only way to remain in the main event scene for the time being.
Sakaguchi & Machida are currently standing on the sidelines waiting to see which tag team they will be facing for the KO-D Tag Titles. It does not matter who they face, their match plan will be the same. But Sakaguchi does admit he would prefer to see Takagi & Abe win because they represent the old DDT. Machida would be happy to fight either MAO or Abe because he knows how strong they are from his previous meetings with them in the ring.
With a spot on the DDT USA shows on the line, the D GENERATIONS CUP final is between Yuya Koroku and Takeshi Masada. It was Masada’s desire to get onto the American shows that caused this tournament to begin with and he is now one step away from achieving his goal. All of the other wrestlers in the tournament are facing each other in a 6-Man Tag Match. Koroku wants to continue his own momentum by finishing the tournament completely unbeaten, proving he is the strongest in his generation.

4. Takumi Tsukamoto Vs SAGAT
5. Ryota Nakatsu & Kazusada Higuchi Vs Daiki Shimomura & Fuminori Abe
6. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Takato Nakano
Takato Nakano has just taken the IRON FIST TAG Titles away from Isami Kodaka. Now he’s coming for the Union MAX Title! If Kodaka can’t keep his wits about him his double championship dream he recently achieved will be completely transferred over to Nakano. The show is also happening the day before “ALL STAR JR FESTIVAL 2023”. Kodaka has already been announced as BASARA’s representative for the show but Nakano is convinced he will be a part of it too. Whoever wins this match will probably be carrying the MAX Title into Korakuen Hall 24 hours later.
Harimao is having a little bit more presence in BASARA thanks to Ryota Nakatsu now joining the unit. Kazusada Higuchi is paying back the favour by bringing their team back here.

4. KO-D Openweight Title: Yuji Hino (c) Vs Winner Of 26/02 Match
It’s master versus student with the DDT Extreme Title on the line. Jun Akiyama wants to put Kotaro Suzuki to the test and convinced him to take this match by putting his title on the line. As a freelancer, Suzuki winning a singles championship will raise his value across the industry. Just look at Naruki Doi and the DDT Universal Title kicking off the gold rush he is currently living through. The match itself is just going to be under normal rules. Akiyama has gone through all of the nonsense he could handle so now the title match is being done his way.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT WINTER ~NAGOYA PERFORMANCE~”, 18/02/2023
Nagoya International Conference Center Event Hall
604 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Yuki Aino & HIMAWARI defeated Hikari Noa & Wakana Uehara when HIMAWARI submitted Uehara with a Half Crab Hold (9:02).
2. 3 Way Match: Nao Kakuta defeated Haruna Neko and Pom Harajuku when Kakuta pinned Neko after the Pom de Justice from Harajuku (4:55).
3. Rika Tatsumi, Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami when Endo submitted Toribami with the Camel Clutch (12:34).
4. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Raku defeated Maki Itoh, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Mizuki pinned Kiryu with the Cutie Special (11:44).
5. International Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Janai Kai with the Tear Drop (10:25).
*V3 for Miu Watanabe.
6. Miyu Yamashita & Yuki Arai defeated Aja Kong & Moka Miyamoto when Arai pinned Miyamoto with the Finally (10:31).
Today’s show in Nagoya had a heaping amount of SKE48 involved. Not only did Yuki Arai feature in the main event but she was also part of a mini concert that was held in the ring during the show. Arai was put in the headline match because she was facing against her “GRAND PRINCESS ’23” opponent Aja Kong in a tag match with Miyu Yamashita and Moka Miyamoto also involved. Arai even got the win in the end by pinning Miyamoto. However she admitted to the audience afterwards she was in a frustrated mood because Kong is still there standing. She wants to show everyone from Yamashita to the fans that she can beat Kong on her own next month.
Yesterday Janai Kai said she had counters at the ready to deal with Miu Watanabe and they were all built around heavy kicks. It kept Watanabe at bay for a while until she was able to catch Kai’s leg and pull her into the Giant Swing. Watanabe’s power also got her out of a Dragon Sleeper. Kai’s plan fell apart when she missed the Tornado Kick and left her open for the Tear Drop, giving the champion her third successful title defence. After the match Rika Tatsumi gave the title belt to Watanabe and praised her for shining brightly ever since she won the title. This version of Miu Watanabe is somebody Tatsumi wants to fight so she asked her for a title shot! Watanabe accepted because she one day wants to surpass her tag team partner and said they should do the match at “GRAND PRINCESS ’23” on 18th March.
Remember when I said I wasn’t sure if there was a team name for Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami? Turns out there is one. The trio are called Kyoraku Torimei when they are together!
HIMAWARI kicked off the wrestling portion of the show by winning her match for the first time ever. She avenged her submission defeat to Wakana Uehara from last week by making her tap out in a tag match today. HIMAWARI credited the win to Yuki Aino for being there but Aino said she didn’t do anything. HIMAWARI insisted it was because of Aino because her presence in the corner gave her reassurance. Aino has now been part of HIMAWARI’s Tokyo Joshi Pro debut and HIMAWARI’s first win. That means she has been a part of every important moment in the rookie’s career!
The SKE48 mini concert included a surprise announcement of the idol unit sending a “second assassin” to TJPW soon (the first being Arai). Shiori Aoki will be debuting for the promotion on 15th April… as a referee. Aoki was just as surprised as everyone else in the room by the announcement but she performed a three count on the canvas to endorse the idea.
There was the usual opening musical performance from The Up Up Girls with the 4th member Shino also involved. There was big news afterwards when it was announced that Shino’s pro wrestling debut is now going to happen soon! She will have her first match on 6th March teaming with Raku to take on the other two unit members Watanabe & Hikari Noa. Shino thanked everyone for supporting her because she was scared that she was being overtaken by the other trainees. She will do her best to repay her fans for their support.

6. Miyu Yamashita & Yuki Arai Vs Aja Kong & Moka Miyamoto
A press conference held earlier today had Miu Watanabe and Janai Kai meeting each other face to face. Watanabe said the more she defends the International Princess Title, the more new sights she will get to see. Her target is to defend the belt next month both at Ariake Coliseum and in America. She can still feel her potential to grow as champion so she cannot lose it tomorrow. Kai said it took her five years to finally wrestle in Japan and winning the IP Title tomorrow is part of her dream. She is friends with Watanabe’s previous challenger Trish Adora and has already gotten advice from her on how to deal with Watanabe’s power. Kai also warned the champion that she is wearing black today because this press conference is also a funeral for Watanabe’s title reign! Watanabe tried to respond in English, telling Kai “No!” and “Not!” over and over. She also tried to say tomorrow but kept stuttering. Mr. HAKU figured out Watanabe was actually saying “to-tomorrow” as in the day after tomorrow.

Yukio Sakaguchi moves up from the 4 Way Tag to replace Endo in Match #4. Gota Ihashi now takes up the empty slot in the 4 Way, with some teams mixed around to fit him in.
The last two block matches in the D GENERATIONS CUP are must-wins for everyone involved. Whoever wins their match goes through to the final. Toi Kojima has a little extra wriggle room because a draw against Takeshi Masada will also send him through. No such tiebreaker is there for Hideki Okatani Vs Yuya Koroku though.

I thought I blogged about this already but I didn’t. DDT and Tokyo Joshi Pro are getting a match each on Keiji Muto’s retirement show at the Tokyo Dome next week. It will no doubt be the biggest wrestling event taking place in Japan this year. DDT’s match pits The 37KAMIINA against Endo and the three young wrestlers who best represents DDT’s future. TJPW are grouping together their four pillars to take on the generation tier that are right below them.

Whoever wins the D GENERATIONS CUP will also get bumped up the card too with a chance to fight both Hino & Sakaguchi in this tag match.

1. Wakana Uehara defeated HIMAWARI with a Sleeper Hold (6:26).

4. Yuki Arai defeated Pom Harajuku with the Finally (6:40).
5. Hikari Noa & Janai Kai defeated Rika Tatsumi & Yuki Aino when Kai pinned Aino with the Tornado Kick (12:30).
6. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Miu Watanabe & Suzume when Sakazaki pinned Suzume after the Toy Story 4 (12:58).
7. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Itoh submitted Nakajima with the Itoh Deluxe (25:35).
The result of this Max Heart Tournament final is historic for two reasons. First, Maki Itoh is now the first woman to win both the Max Heart Tournament and Tokyo Princess Cup. And second, Miyu Yamashita has finally won a tournament after almost ten years of trying! 121000000 had to fight their biggest challenge in the end, Kyoraku Kyomei. Before the match began Hyper Misao got on the microphone and said she is happy these were the two teams in the final. Of course it was to set up a sneak attack and 121000000 saw it coming. They blocked the ambush and took control of the opening minutes. Misao briefly had her mask fall off during the match but she ignored it to hit Yamashita’s leg against the ring post. She put the mask back on and continued targeting the leg. Itoh tagged in but her momentum was cut off by Shoko Nakajima. Kyoraku Kyomei kept trying to isolate Itoh until Yamashita came to the rescue leading to all four wrestlers being falling down on the canvas. 121000000 got up first and fired each other up by headbutting each other. Yamashita countered the Hypami Returns with the Skull Kick to get rid of Misao. Nakajima was then given a Flying DDT/Wheelbarrow German Suplex combo. Itoh followed up by locking in the Itoh Deluxe, making Nakajima tap out!
Nakajima gave Itoh a nod of respect after the match before being helped to the back by Misao. 121000000 were then presented with the trophies and gave out a victory speech. Itoh said after seeing the look on Nakajima’s face, she understands how she feels. It makes her want to do her best for Nakajima and everyone else in Tokyo Joshi Pro. That leads to their next challenge. It is now up to 121000000 to take the Princess Tag Team Titles from The Wasteland War Party and it’s going to happen at Ariake Coliseum on 18th March! Yamashita said it was frustrating that her team with Itoh wasn’t able to produce good results for this long because they are so great together. It’s fun to work with Itoh and fight with Itoh so they are perfect business partners. No matter how long Yamashita lives for, Itoh will always be her partner business or otherwise. They then tried to close out the show by saying “One To…” “…Million!” expecting the fans to chant along. It didn’t really catch on so they spent their post-match interview backstage workshopping it in front of the reporters. The professional media did not join in.
Fresh off of her American expedition, Yuka Sakazaki reunited with Mizuki and you wouldn’t tell there is any tension between them as we get closer towards “GRAND PRINCESS ’23”. They were just as happy to be teaming together as The Magical Sugar Rabbits as they always are. Their teamwork was on par and led to them beating Miu Watanabe & Suzume with the Toy Story 4. Backstage Mizuki said she watched Sakazaki’s matches in America and saw how different they are compared to over here. The deal meant Mizuki was able to wrestle a lot of singles matches too so she is preparing for their Princess Of Princess Title match on 18th March. Sakazaki said she can tell TJPW is even better than before because everyone cherishes each and every match they take part in. She also wants MagiRabi to be the next wrestlers collaborating with Idolmaster Cinderella Girls because they just beat the current girls involved with the marketing campaign. Speaking of that franchise, Watanabe & Suzume were hoping to get a lot of Idolmaster fans supporting them today because there was an Idolmaster concert going on next door in the Tokyo Dome.
Welcome to TJPW, Janai Kai! Not everyone gave Kai a happy hello in her first match with the promotion. Rika Tatsumi pretty quickly tried to strangle her. Kai did get along with her tag partner Hikari Noa. Tatsumi missed a Hip Attack and hit Yuki Aino by mistake. Noa & Kai did their trademark moves alongside each other and Kai pinned Aino with the Tornado Kick. Backstage Kai said she’s been studying Watanabe’s matches and is ready to fight her for the International Princess Title on 18th February. Tatsumi now thinks she is friends with Kai. Aino didn’t believe her because she doesn’t choke people she wants to be friends with. Tatsumi explained her attempt to strangle Kai was just a baptism ceremony in order to establish friendship.
Before Yuki Arai gets to fight Aja Kong in Ariake she had to deal with another dangerous monster today… Pom Harajuku! Arai’s opponent today came out dressed in SKE48 merchandise and looked like she wanted to enjoy a concert rather than wrestle. Harajuku asked Arai to perform SKE48’s new single instead of doing the match. Arai agreed when the audience began clapping along so she danced to the song until Harajuku rolled her up for a nearfall. Harajuku targeted Arai’s shins but her tactics didn’t work. Arai was able to hit her with the Finally and get the win. She has two matches with Kong coming up and wants to make sure Kong sees how good she has become.
It was a day of firsts across the board. Yamashita won her first tournament, Kai had her first match in Japan, SKE48 had their new song played in the Kanto region for the first time and Arisu Endo earned her first ever singles win! She was able to beat Moka Miyamoto by trapping her in the Camel Clutch and keeping the pressure up until Miyamoto submitted. She said it was a big deal she was able to get her first win by herself. She wants to get stronger and win more often. She also promised to send an update about her big achievement over to Reika Saiki when she gets the chance. She inherited the Camel Clutch from Saiki which is why she is always so determined to win with it.
If you forgot that Yuki Kamifuku is a dog person she made it clear by stomping on Haruna Neko a lot. Neko recovered after Mahiro Kiryu’s Apology Knee Drop to tag in Raku. Neko returned later to take out both Kiryu & Nao Kakuta with a Double Neckbreaker Drop. She was stopped with a Big Boot from Kamifuku who then went on to give Kaya Toribami a Brainbuster. She then won with the Famouser.
Wakana Uehara gets her first ever wrestling win too! She caught HIMAWARI in a Sleeper Hold and kept it on to drag her opponent down into submission. The result makes Uehara really happy because whenever she trains with her seniors she feels like she is not ready yet. Today’s result makes her want to work even harder so she can compete against more of the TJPW roster. HIMAWARI said this loss is more frustrating than the others but she will treat it as a lesson she has to learn. She will now go train her mind to become so strong she will never give up to a Sleeper Hold again!
There were several announcements throughout the show, many of them related to “GRAND PRINCESS ’23”. One of them is the return of NEO Biishiki-gun! The team of Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel will go against Yuki Kamifuku & Billie Starkz on the show.
Juria Nagano gave everyone an update on her finger injury. She fractured her left index finger during her most recent match on 29th January. There wasn’t a date given for her return but she promised the fans she is definitely coming back to the TJPW ring.
Watanabe & Suzume promoted their crossover merch with Idolmaster Cinderella Girls at the start of the show. They were then surprised with the unexpected appearance of Andreza Giant Panda! After the panda struggled to get into the ring it was then announced Andreza will be part of “GRAND PRINCESS ’23”.
Three trainees will make their pro wrestling debuts in March. Toga will have her first match in Shinjuku on 6th March. Haru and Momo will both make their debuts at “GRAND PRINCESS ’23”.
Last but not least a few new shows were added to the schedule, each of them being a homecoming show for a TJPW wrestler. Kamifuku is getting a show in Kanagawa on 27th May. Yamashita & Itoh are getting a show in Fukuoka on 25th June.

Each member of the unit is putting together their own match too. Yuki Ueno wants to fight Gorgeous Matsuno, Toi Kojima puts himself to the test against Yasu Urano and the ShunMao tag team invited MEN’s Teioh to officiate a 4 Way Tag match that wouldn’t look out of place at a MEN’S Club promoted event.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 3RD “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 19/01/2023
Shinjuku FACE
268 Fans
1. Hikari Noa defeated Wakana Uehara with the Blue Racer (8:07).
2. Mizuki & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Nao Kakuta & HIMAWARI when Mizuki submitted HIMAWARI with the Face Lock (11:43).
3. Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Itoh submitted Harajuku with the Itoh Deluxe (11:42).
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami when Misao pinned Neko with the Hypami Return (11:33).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Moka Miyamoto & Juria Nagano defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Miyamoto pinned Endo with the Korokan (8:43).
6. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Saki Akai & Yuki Arai when Tatsumi submitted Arai with the White Dragon Sleeper (17:23).
Round 2 of the Max Heart Tournament is now over and done with. Last year’s winners Daydream are among the teams who reached the final four, eliminating Reiwa AA Cannon in the main event. The difference maker turned out to be Rika Tatsumi’s diamond hips. She used the Hip Attack to great effect twice in the match. The first was to block a Middle Kick from Saki Akai. Then when Miu Watanabe blocked the Quetzalcoatl and held Akai in place, Tatsumi struck with another Hip Attack. Akai was then taken out with the Daydream Eternity leaving Yuki Arai fighting on her own. Despite her best efforts, she was stopped with a Backbreaker and locked into the White Dragon Sleeper for the submission ending.
Tatsumi said after the match she expected her opponents today to be difficult and they really were difficult. However Daydream are determined to win the Max Heart Tournament for the second year in a row and go on to win back the Princess Tag Team Titles. For Reiwa AA Cannon however their chances of regaining those same belts have taken a massive hit. Now they are no longer champions and are out of the tournament, Akai does not know when she is able to team with Arai again. Whenever they do reunite, they promise that Reiwa AA Cannon will be an even bigger tag team!
The Karate Tag pairing of Moka Miyamoto & Juria Nagano have established themselves as the Cinderella entry of the tournament after beating Daisy Monkey to advance to the semi final. Arisu Endo had the fight against Moka Miyamoto under control until Miyamoto cut her off with the Zero Fighter Kick. Miyamoto then pinned Endo with the Korokan. Juria Nagano admitted she did not expect her team to win today but she is really happy they did. Miyamoto & Nagano have been spending more time together even when they are not training in order to improve their bond. They know there are more strong opponents waiting for them so they will do their very best and win. Endo was upset after the match because she thinks she let her fans down. She promised Daisy Monkey were going to win today and couldn’t reach that expectation. Suzume reassured Endo that she wants to team with her forever!
Haruna Neko & Kaya Toribami knew their chances against Kyoraku Kyomei were slim so they had to take drastic measures. They attacked their opponents during their entrance and Neko wrapped Hyper Misao’s cape around her head to blind her. Misao was able to kick out of Neko’s pin attempts and once she freed herself from the cape, she used it to choke Neko. Toribami helped her partner when she could and they pulled off some double team moves together. But Shoko Nakajima cut her off with the 619 so Misao could pin Neko with the Hypami Returns. Backstage Neko said the times when Toribami was able to save her from trouble were cool. Toribami thinks their team still needs a lot of work. Neko agrees and believes they can grow stronger together.
The Max Heart Tournament Semi Finals on 29th January will be Karate Tag Vs 121000000 and Daydream Vs Kyoraku Kyomei. Nagano said 121000000 are a crazy team and she wants to beat them with Miyamoto. Nakajima remembers her team lost to Daydream in last year’s tournament. She wants to avenge that loss.
There was a lot of hair pulling in Match #2. A lot of it involved HIMAWARI but everyone in the match was guilty of doing it at some point. Nao Kakuta started it. Mahiro Kiryu apologised for it. Mizuki didn’t understand why she did.
Hikari Noa was impressed enough by Wakana Uehara’s performance in their match that they left the ring together shoulder to shoulder.
“The Kick Demon” Janai Kai will make her Tokyo Joshi Pro debut on the 11th February Korakuen Hall show. She is also getting an International Princess Title match against Miu Watanabe in Nagoya on 18th February.
TJPW will be holding an empty arena mat wrestling PPV in TwinBox AKIHABARA on 30th January to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of their launch event in the same venue. The PPV will consist of a one night tournament called Princess Of The Decade.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT WINTER ~KOBE PERFORMANCE~”, 07/01/2023
Kobe Art Center
237 Fans – No Vacancy
1. Nao Kakuta defeated HIMAWARI with the Shiden Kai (7:05).
2. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Kaya Toribami with the Famouser (6:15).
3. Yuki Aino & Raku defeated Maki Itoh & Hikari Noa when Raku pinned Noa with the Doctor Yellow (11:30).
4. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Mahiro Kiryu when Nakajima pinned Kiryu with the Northern Lights Suplex (10:42).
5. Max The Impaler, Heidi Howitzer & Trish Adora defeated Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku when Max pinned Harajuku after the Master Blaster (13:59).
6. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Mizuki & Moka Miyamoto when Suzume pinned Miyamoto with the Ring A Bell (13:40).
The latest homecoming for Mizuki was spoiled by Daisy Monkey. In the main event Suzume scored the win for her team by pinning Moka Miyamoto. She was happy to see so many people turn up for the show. Arisu Endo said she was able to do her very best because of the fans cheering. Suzume later said her courage boosts up to 200% whenever she teams with Endo. With the Max Heart Tournament coming around the corner, Daisy Monkey have their eyes on the prize. According to them, 2023 won’t be the year of the rabbit. It’s going to be the year of Daisy Monkey! Miyamoto was upset over the result and blamed the loss on herself. Mizuki encouraged her, saying she is tough enough to rely on whenever the match comes down to her.
Today was a nightmare for Pom Harajuku. She had to face her fears once more and be in the ring with Max The Impaler. When the match began she kept trying to escape until Daydream physically put her back into the ring. The match finish had Heidi Howitzer & Trish Adora hold back Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe while Max destroyed Harajuku. After the match Max picked up Harajuku’s prone body and carried her away. Backstage Howitzer told Max to let her go because The Wasteland War Party are here to win matches, not kidnap people.
Hyper Misao gave Mahiro Kiryu some treats before their match as a new year’s gift. When Kiryu said she did not have any gifts to give back, Misao attacked her. The incident forced Kiryu to apologize while kneeling on top of both Misao & Shoko Nakajima. Meanwhile Yuka Sakazaki stood in the corner eating all of the treats by herself. She ended up choking on them which briefly took her out of the match. Nakajima took some of the treats back after winning the match so as far as she’s concerned everyone is even. Misao decided that winning the match today is Kyoraku Kyomei’s gift for the new year.
Raku missing the Princess Tag Team Titles match last month due to illness is still on her mind. She & Yuki Aino ended up getting the win on today’s show when the pair beat Maki Itoh & Hikari Noa in an upset. Raku hopes that by itself will make Aino happy going into tomorrow’s show in Aino’s home region of Okayama. Aino reminded her that their 1st Round opponents in the Max Heart Tournament are Reiwa AA Cannon, the team they were supposed to fight for the Tag Titles.
