During the week Tokyo Joshi Pro held another press conference to promote “GRAND PRINCESS ’22” featuring the wrestlers involved from four of the matches on the card. For Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima they will be headlining Sumo Hall, the same venue where they both had their official debuts in a dark match back in 2013. Nakajima always thought of Yamashita as the strongest wall in TJPW and a bigger kaiju than she is. No matter how many times Nakajima won against her, Yamashita would easily overturn her setbacks and go back to the top. But if Nakajima can win the Princess Of Princess Title from her in the main event of Sumo Hall, she can finally believe she has surpassed her. It is her best chance and maybe her last chance to become a bigger kaiju than Yamashita. The champion has dreamed of TJPW reaching Sumo Hall since her debut and thinks it will all be meaningless if she cannot beat her strongest challenger. She also thinks they will show everyone the future of Tokyo Joshi and beyond.
Miu Watanabe calls The Magical Sugar Rabbits her biggest obstacles given how often she has lost to them. She feels the confidence she lacked against them finally came to her when Daydream won the Max Heart Tournament. With Rika Tatsumi by her side she believes she can now break through any wall and win. Tatsumi thinks they can be even better champions now than they were during their first reign. She understands that Mizuki will hate her if she takes away the Princess Tag Team Titles from MagiRabi but she doesn’t care about that anymore. Tatsumi is prepared to be hated by Mizuki in order to become a champion again! Mizuki told her not to worry about that because MagiRabi won’t lose. Instead they will have a match that will make all of Mizuki’s fans smile. Yuka Sakazaki realizes that her friends and the supporters have brought TJPW to Ryogoku. She wants to defend the Tag Titles so they can shine even more and bring everyone a into a happy, sparkling world!
The words Maki Itoh spoke to Yuki Arai last May after Arai’s debut is what brought her to this point. Back then Itoh challenged Arai to crush her no matter how long it will take. It hasn’t even been a year but Arai thinks the time is now right for her to do that and win the International Princess Title! However she just wants to crush Itoh while Itoh wants to crush every superstar around the world! Arai has been watching her tapes and Itoh admits her opponent has the size advantage but experience wise, Itoh is confident she can deal with whatever Arai throws at her.
When the debuting Juria Nagano began training for TJPW, she was moved to tears after discovering the deep bonds the entire roster has with each other. Everyone does their best to raise each other’s spirits. She has been training in karate since she was 5 years old and looks forward to teaming with Moka Miyamoto because they are linked by traditional karate. Miyamoto promised to do her best to help Nagano win her debut match. Suzume is happy to spend precious time with Nagano and crush her with all her love. Arisu Endo believes there is no way the match won’t be exciting and Arisuzu will win.
I’ll have a full preview of the show written up next week.

There were a lot of costume swapping on the show. When Sayuri Namba walked out for the opening introductions it was actually Pom Harajuku dressed as her. Then all the wrestlers in the main event had to pick a random back containing another person’s costume. Rika Tatsumi got Yuki Arai’s gear, Marika Kobashi got Raku’s gear, Suzume got Harajuku’s gear, Hikari Noa got Nao Kakuta’s gear, Kakuta got Tatsumi’s gear and Mahiro Kiryu got Yuki Aino’s gear.
Once again and for the last time, The Bakuretsu Sisters were missing from the fan club show and had to be replaced at the last minute. The good news is fans got the return of The NodoCaras Sisters!
Everyone in the 5 Way match had a piece of hiragana written on the sole of their foot. A wrestler was eliminated if their opponents read out the hiragana on their sole. The ultimate goal was to find all of the characters and correctly guess what word it spelt. Shoko Nakajima got it right in the end and discovered the anagram was of “Kokugikan”.
Each wrestler in Match #2 was banned from doing a particular action. Miyu Yamashita was not allowed to kick, Maki Itoh couldn’t use the DDT, Miu Watanabe was banned from lifting opponents and Moka Miyamoto couldn’t throw straight fist punches. 121000000 ended up losing when they lost their concentration and did a High Kick and DDT to their opponents at the same time.
Yuka Sakazaki and Arisu Endo took part in a cooking contest against each other. They were tasked with making a meal for Daisuke Kiso to eat. Kiso judged that Endo’s food was better so she was the winner.

Two weeks before Tokyo Joshi Pro heads to Sumo Hall, they had their last preview match for the big event. The champion team defeated the group of challengers when Maki Itoh submitted her Ryogoku opponent Yuki Arai. Itoh bragged about the champions all being strong and thanked The Magical Sugar Rabbits for being a nice assist today. She also thinks Miyu Yamashita’s recent training is paying off because their Saboten Diving Headbutt double team move worked today.
A bunch of the roster got to give their final thoughts on their Sumo Hall matches. Moka Miyamoto wants to make Juria Nagano’s debut the best mtch ever. Arisu Endo & Suzume want to win their first Ryogoku match together as Arisuzu. Kaya Toribami promises not to flinch and will do her best. Haruna Neko wishes everyone good luck.

Yuki Kamifuku wants Asuka to know that tequila is not the only thing that is strong. The Bakuretsu Sisters promise to beat each other up. Pom Harajuku wants to win. Raku will be waiting for everyone on the Sobu and Oedo lines. Marika Kobashi said she will defeat NEO Biishiki-gun and make gals out of them. Hikari Noa will welcome Hikaru Shida into her world. Arai told Itoh she will get revenge at Ryogoku. Itoh said she is waiting for her. Rika Tatsumi wants to go MagiRabi hunting while Miu Watanabe just wants Daydream to do their best. Yuka Sakazaki hopes everyone will go eat hamburger steak but Mizuki wants to crush Daydream to achieve world peace. Shoko Nakajima told Yamashita not to get carried away with today’s win because she will be at her strongest in Sumo Hall. Yamashita assured her she isn’t getting carried away and she will beat her.
Nodoka Tenma and Marika Kobashi will forever be connected with each other because they began training for wrestling around the same time, debuted on the same show and will be leaving wrestling within weeks of each other. Tenma praises Kobashi for having acting more mature than her age. Kobashi has been getting singles matches against her seniors lately and she said she feels even more love for TJPW after every match.
Two special guest ring announcers are now advertised to appear at “GRAND PRINCESS ’22”. The first is Minami Momochi, the “anime idol” who was TJPW’s ring announcer from 2013 to the start of 2017. The second guest is Kero Tanaka, the famous ring announcer from New Japan in the 80’s and 90’s. He made guest appearances for TJPW before and was recently in the news for having a miraculous recovery from covid.
A special presentation on WRESTLE UNIVERSE saw Tokyo Joshi Pro hold its first event at a swimming pool. The participants were split into five pairs to take part in numerous challenges with points on the line. The first team to reach five points would be declared the winners. Everyone began fighting and throwing each other into the water before the first round even began.
As soon as everyone got into the water it was time for the first challenge. It was a game of Kibasen where one girl sat on their partner’s shoulders and had a chicken fight with their opponents. Pulling off someone else’s headband would eliminate them and the game continued until only one team was left. Mizuki last grabbed Hyper Misao’s band off to win the game and score 2 points.
Before the second challenge began, everyone put each other into a chain of Headlocks alongside the pool. Raku grabbed Miu Watanabe at the end and caused a chain reaction of Russian Leg Sweeps that sent everybody splashing into the water.
Good thing that was where the next game was being held. It was time to play volleyball. Daydream, Hikari Noa & Yuki Arai were short two players so Arisu Endo and Moka Miyamoto were added to their side despite not being part of the competition. They ended up winning 3-1 so Daydream and Noa & Akai both received 1 point each.
Nodoka Tenma wanted to take a rest inbetween games. What happened instead was Watanabe held her at the bottom of the waterslide so everyone else could go on the ride and Dropkick Tenma at the end. Sayuri Namba reluctantly took part too after Misao held her hostage with a gun. Rika Tatsumi disarmed Misao but threw Namba down the slide anyway.
The final competition was supposed to be a freestyle swimming race in the 25m pool. Yuka Sakazaki briefly vanished and reappeared in an athletic swimsuit, showing she was fully prepared for the contest. She easily finished in first with Tatsumi finishing behind her to earn a consolation point.
No team had the five points needed to win the entire competition so everyone agreed to take part in a Falls Count Anywhere 5 Way Tag Match with 3 points on the line. Daydream slammed Noa onto a swan float and sent her down a stream away from everyone else. Tatsumi then attempted the Missile Hip into the pool but Arai moved out of the way and Watanabe got hit instead. Raku & Marika Kobashi were seen on top of the bridge above them. They jumped off and hit Double Brain Chops onto Watanabe and Arai in the water. Tenma was thrown onto a floating ring and was stuck there. Sakazaki then decided to climb up a wall and do the Magical Girl Splash onto Tenma in the pool! She pinned her for the three count after that.
With 6 points now in total, The Magical Sugar Rabbits were declared the winners! Sakazaki & Mizuki both received trophies which they used to scoop up water and splash the other girls with. They then threw Namba into the water before jumping in themselves to end the show.

1. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Hikari Noa & Kaya Toribami when Kamifuku pinned Toribami with the Famouser (9:10).
2. 3 Way Match: Suzume defeated Haruna Neko and Moka Miyamoto when Suzume pinned Neko with a Jackknife Pin (9:52).

5. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Nao Kakuta defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Arisu Endo when Tatsumi pinned Endo with the Twist Of Fate (16:28).
After the main event Rika Tatsumi told the audience that she and Yuka Sakazaki entered Tokyo Joshi Pro together as classmates. They both went their own directions and each ended up with good tag team partners, Tatsumi with Miu Watanabe and Sakazaki with Mizuki. The two teams will face off at “GRAND PRINCESS ’22” and both teams are promising to win. Daydream want to win the Princess Tag Team Titles at Sumo Hall while The Magical Sugar Rabbits want to defend them in the same place. Backstage Tatsumi said she has learned how inseparable MagiRabi are together so she will hunt down the both of them at Ryogoku!
The Bakuretsu Sisters are going to explode at Sumo Hall! Nodoka Tenma doesn’t want her wrestling career to end before she has a match against her sister. Yuki Aino has always declined the idea whenever someone suggested it but this time Tenma won’t take no for an answer. Aino agreed, saying she made it to where she is today because of Tenma and she now wants to defeat her with all of her strength.
When the show began it was announced that Hyper Misao will take on Sanshiro Takagi at Sumo Hall. When Misao’s match was over, she got on the microphone and admitted she is disappointed that the match is happening. She would have wanted to fight the Takagi she saw eight years ago when she discovered pro wrestling but now he is just an ordinary president who cares more about numbers than doing crazy things. Takagi understands her complaints. He can’t lift one of his shoulders like he used to and he put this match together because he does want to sell more tickets for the show. But he is still a pro wrestler and that pro wrestler will stand in front of Misao at Sumo Hall so she better not regret her words! He promises their match will get crazy even though he also has to wrestle at the DDT show in the same building the next day.
One week before Marika Kobashi graduates from Tokyo Joshi Pro, she will have a starring role at the next “TJPW INSPIRATION” show on 10th April. She gets to team up with her favorite wrestler Abdullah Kobayashi! Their opponents will be Antonio Honda & SAKI.
Misao tried to hold a protest before her match with Kobashi to stop her from graduating. She complained about feeling lonely because people she meets in TJPW keep graduating from the company. Kobashi grabbed her placard sign and attacked her with it.
TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2022 WINTER”, 19/02/2022 Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall 202 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Mahiro Kiryu defeated Arisu Endo with the Spinebuster (6:42).
2. Pom Harajuku defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Pom de Justice (7:02).
3. Hyper Misao defeated Haruna Neko with the Hypami Returns (8:17).
4. 3 Way Match: Nao Kakuta defeated Yuki Kamifuku and Kaya Toribami when Kakuta pinned Toribami with the Shiden Kai (6:36).
5. Shoko Nakajima defeated Marika Kobashi with the Diving Senton (12:33).
6. Mizuki, Hikari Noa & Yuki Arai Vs Miu Watanabe, Yuki Aino & Suzume ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
There were already several wrestlers missing from the show for covid related reasons today. One more had to pull out on short notice when Yuka Sakazaki was identified as a close contact. Hikari Noa moved up to take her place in the main event and the 17 remaining members of the Tokyo Joshi Pro roster went on with the show.
All six women in the main event fought until the time expired, with Miu Watanabe and Yuki Arai against each other being the focus of the final minutes. Mizuki was disappointed over the match result being a tie but said it is times like these when everybody who supports each other should be united. She wants to make TJPW a warm and welcoming place that she loves. The match also motivated her after seeing how much stronger Noa and Arai have become. Backstage Yuki Aino warned that Arai will turn into a dirty fighter if she keeps teaming with the likes of Mizuki & Noa. She at least had fun teaming up with Watanabe and Suzume which doesn’t happen often.
Shoko Nakajima gave Marika Kobashi a pat on the head after their match. They both think this was likely their last singles match against each other with Kobashi leaving in April. Nakajima also felt the match was a good warm up for her upcoming Princess Of Princess Title match. Kobashi feels special for being a singles opponent for both Nakajima and Miyu Yamashita before their big title match. But she doesn’t want her remaining matches to just be about getting stronger. She wants some results to be part of her final memories here.
Noa moving out of Match #4 turned into a 3 Way with the remaining wrestlers. Yuki Kamifuku tried to trick Kaya Toribami into siding with her because it’s her birthday soon. She then got into an argument with Nao Kakuta over it and both of them pushed Toribami away when she tried to step in, causing all three to fight each other.
Hyper Misao decided that to beat a catgirl you must become one. She explained she’s been raising cats for a year so her neko power has increased. So for today only she is Neko Misao, the Cat Of Northern Kanto! Haruna Neko wasn’t impressed and she pulled the cat ears and tail off of her opponent while they wrestled.
