2. Himawari Unagi Return Match: Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Himawari Unagi & Haruna Neko when Harajuku pinned Unagi with the Pom do Justice (8:18).

4. Mina Shirakawa defeated Yuki Kamifuku with the GSS (8:20).
5. Yuna Manase Regular Participation Last Match: Miyu Yamashita, Mizuki & Natsumi Maki defeated Yuna Manase, Nodoka Tenma & Maki Itoh when Yamashita pinned Tenma with the Crash Rabbit Heat (16:06).
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Tatsumi pinned Misao with the Missile Hip (13:50).
*V3 for Daydream.
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki (c) defeated Yuki Aino with the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro (18:00).
*V3 for Yuka Sakazaki.

The world of Tokyo Joshi Pro is constantly evolving. Yuka Sakazaki proved that by doing a 450 version of the Magical Girl Splash to beat Yuki Aino. Even Sakazaki herself was surprised by how far she flew with that move. She said after the match that she shouldn’t be stagnant in situations like these which is why she used what is now called the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro. She celebrated in the ring with Mizuki to close out the show. Sakazaki’s next goal is to win the Tokyo Princess Cup so she can continue her title reign without having any further challengers.

Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao pulled out all the stops in their attempt to win the Princess Tag Team Titles. It’s been six months since TJPW was in Korakuen Hall so the two of them wanted to give everyone a fun and exciting pro wrestling match. The most exciting thing they could think of was beating Daydream by any means necessary! Misao used cold spray to blind Miu Watanabe and taped her feet to the corner post so she was left hanging outside the ring. Misao brought out her bicycle and tried to run Watanabe over but Watanabe lifted herself up and Misao crashed into the railing. Nakajima filled the ring with kaiju toys but she was slammed on top of them by Watanabe. She used the Tear Drop on Nakajima, leaving Rika Tatsumi to scoop up the win by hitting Misao with the Missile Hip Attack. The champions agreed it was a really fun match.

Yuna Manase has bid farewell to Tokyo Joshi. She won’t be gone forever but her future lies elsewhere. In the final moments of her match, Manase took a Skull Kick from Miyu Yamashita. There were no hard feelings over it, they hugged after the match. Manase hugged Mizuki and Natsumi Maki too. She said she loved being inside the Tokyo Joshi ring. She will definitely come back again someday and when she does she will be able to fight on a higher level.

Jealousy reared its ugly head within Cat’s Pye, causing Yuki Kamifuku and Mina Shirakawa to face off in a Gravure Wrestler Showdown. Shirakawa won the match with her Glamorous Strong Style Facebuster. There was a tense moment afterwards when Kamifuku hesitated shaking Shirakawa’s hand. But she did so and and two friends left the ring together. Kamifuku said in a backstage interview that she wants to learn more about pro wrestling now she has been doing it for four years. Shirakawa has been inspired by Jushin Liger but he doesn’t match Kamifuku’s taste. So Kamifuku is going to start watching Shuji Ishikawa matches from All Japan.

The other two thirds of The Up Up Girls had a singles match together. Raku came close to a win with the Doctor Yellow. Hikari Noa hit back with a Lariat and won with the Uranage. The result has only motivated Raku to try even harder for her first singles win.

Himawari Unagi returned to the ring for her first match in nine and a half months. She had a new costume and new entrance music for her comeback match. She reunited with three of the other HiSPC wrestlers, teaming with Haruna Neko to wrestle Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu. Neko got rid of Kiryu with the Codebreaker but Unagi couldn’t seal the deal. Harajuku hit the Pom do Justice to end Unagi’s return with a loss.

The newest Tokyo Joshi debut is Moka Miyamoto. She majored in Japanese Culture at university which is why she wrestled in a hakama. Suzume was there to help out but most of the match was Miyamoto trying to fight off Mirai Maiumi & Sena Shiori.

There will be 21 women entering this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup. The full list is Yuka Sakazaki, Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe, Shoko Nakajima, Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh, Natsumi Maki, Mizuki, Hyper Misao, Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino, Hikari Noa, Raku, Yuki Kamifuku, Mina Shirakawa, Haruna Neko, Pom Harajuku, Mahiro Kiryu, Himawari Unagi, Mirai Maiumi and Suzume.

The Tokyo Dome City Hall show will go ahead on 7th November. At the moment they are permitted to set up the venue to 50% capacity.

Now a second poll is up with the four possible names: NEW EXPLOSION, Junretsu (準烈), Firestar and The Beginning (ザ・ビギニング). It’s not guaranteed that the poll winner will become the official name but Akiyama will for sure make a decision in time for the July Korakuen show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “KOKO NI IRUZEE!” Results

June 20, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “KOKO NI IRUZEE!”, 20/06/2020
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
142 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Mizuki defeated Sena Shiori with the Cutie Special (6:28).
2. Hikari Noa defeated Haruna Neko with the Uranage (5:44).
3. Miyu Yamashita & Yuna Manase defeated Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Yamashita pinned Misao with the Skull Kick (0:58).
3a. Rematch: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Miyu Yamashita & Yuna Manase when Misao pinned Yamashita with La Magistral Cradle (8:38).
4. Maki Itoh, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Suzume when Itoh submitted Suzume with the Itoh Deluxe (13:14).
5. Natsumi Maki defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Backlash (7:01).
6. Yuka Sakazaki, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Mina Shirakawa & Mirai Maiumi when Aino pinned Maiumi with the Venus DDT (15:44).

Yuki Aino challenged Yuka Sakazaki for the Princess Of Princess Title after the main event. She explained she thought progress would come slowly but she recently learned in pro wrestling you have to be sudden. So she wants to test her strength against the champion for the belt. Suddenly Yuki Kamifuku Dropkicked Aino and grabbed the microphone. She wants to challenge Sakazaki first. Sakazaki said she is happy to see so many girls in Tokyo Joshi Pro aiming to become the champion. But Aino and Kamifuku will have to fight each other to get the next shot. Their match will happen on 4th July at Ryogoku KFC Hall.

Natsumi Maki had her first match back in three months, winning against Mahiro Kiryu. She wants to wrestle matches that will give her enough energy to challenge for any of the three Tokyo Joshi championships. She also tried to paint “Poi” on her cheek but used a mirror so it ended up looking like “109”. It’s something a little different she wanted to do now she is back.

In a preview of their Princess Tag Team Titles match, Maki Itoh & Raku were on the winning side against the champions. Itoh shouted threats to Daydream afterwards. Pom Harajuku had to pull her away from them.

The Backspin Kick Miyu Yamashita uses to great effect is now called the Skull Kick. She used it to pin Hyper Misao to ended their tag match in under a minute. Misao’s plan was to make Yamashita dance to “Genghis Khan” and it worked until Yamashita kicked her. They agreed to an immediate rematch. This time Misao blinded Yamashita with cold spray and stole the win with La Magistral Cradle.

TJPW trainee Aona will have her debut match on the 23rd July Korakuen Hall show. She was originally supposed to have her match on 3rd May before the show was cancelled.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FAN CLUB BOX OFFICE – PURE TOKYO JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 4” Results

February 16, 2020

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW FAN CLUB BOX OFFICE – PURE TOKYO JOSHI PRO WRESTLING 4”, 16/02/2020
Saitama Wrestle Arena
91 Fans

1. Mirai Maiumi defeated Sena Shiori with the Sea Rider (4:24).
2. Rika Tatsumi defeated Haruna Neko with a Small Package (7:27).
3. Nodoka Tenma & Nodoka-oneesan (Yuki Aino) defeated Nodoka-oneesan (Shoko Nakajima) & Nodoka-oneesan (Hyper Misao) when Tenma, Nodoka (Aino) and Nodoka (Nakajima) pinned Nodoka (Misao) (6:20).
4. Valentine Death Match: Pom Harajuku (2) defeated Yuka Sakazaki (1).
4a. Handmade Chocolate Showdown: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Pom Harajuku by Audience Judgement (13:25)
4b. Who Ate The Wasabi Cream Puff: Pom Harajuku defeated Yuka Sakazaki (13:31).
4c. Hot Water Roasted Chocolate, Which One Can Eat More: Pom Harajuku (1) defeated Yuka Sakazaki (0) (13:40).
5. 2 Count Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match: Mizuki & Mahiro Kiryu (2) defeated Miyu Yamashita & Suzume (1) (3:27).
5a. Mizuki pinned Suzume with a Crab Scissors (0:28)
5b. Miyu Yamashita pinned Kiryu with a Middle Kick (3:21).
5c. Mahiro Kiryu pinned Miyu Yamashita after the Foot Stomp from Mizuki (3:27).

The main event was Best 2 out of 3 Falls with only two count pins needed to win each fall. Mizuki quickly won the first fall by countering Suzume’s Crab Hold into a Scissors Cradle. Miyu Yamashita evened the score by pinning Mahiro Kiryu. In the final fall, Mizuki used a Casadora on Yamashita to roll her in position for a Jumping Foot Stomp. Kiryu then leapt on top of Yamashita for the surprise pinfall. Yamashita blamed the loss on her forgetting the 2 count rule. Kiryu was happy to close out the Fan Club show for the second time in a row.

Yuka Sakazaki and Pom Harajuku faced off in a Valentine Death Match. The contest wasn’t dangerous at all for those two. In Round 1 random members of the audience were given two pieces of chocolate made by Sakazaki and Harajuku without being told which one was which. Afterwards they had to choose which one they liked more. After the vote it was revealed that Sakazaki’s chocolate was the winner. The second game was a cream puff eating challenge. Whoever ate the cream puff filled with wasabi would win. However the Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) joined them and Hikari Noa ate the wasabi puff. The game went to sudden death and Harajuku eventually ate another puff filled with wasabi to win. The final round involved the Up Up Girls all attempted to feed Sakazaki and Harajuku a piece of hot chocolate while blindfolded. Sayuri Nanba and the referee were fed the chocolate by accident but Harajuku ended up getting bite too so she ultimately won the Death Match.

Unfortunately Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao and Yuki Aino were all missing from the show. Luckily replacements were found, three Nodoka-oneesans! The one that looked like Aino teamed up with Nodoka Tenma while the two that looked like Nakajima and Misao were paired together. The one that looked like Misao attempted the I Am A Hero but missed and was pinned by the other three. After the match all four women bumped into each other. They tried to do a Miyu Yamashita victory pose in their stunned state but all collapsed instead.

The last time Rika Tatsumi and Haruna Neko faced off at a Fan Club show, Neko had two other tag partners for a Handicap Match. Tatsumi was confident she would win today and gave Neko a less than 1% chance of beating her. Neko got some help from the Up Up Girls but it backfired when she got a bat and hit all of her allies by accident. Tatsumi cradled Neko for the win.

The Sea Rider used by Mirai Maiumi is a Modified Camel Clutch with one knee pressed against the victim’s back.

Himawari Unagi and the trainee Aona held a quick Rock Paper Scissors tournament for the fan club members during intermission.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “MY LIFE; LET’S ENJOY!!” Results

October 19, 2019

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “MY LIFE; LET’S ENJOY!!”, 19/10/2019
Tokyo Ryogoku KFC Hall
325 Fans

1. Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Haruna Neko & YUMI when Harajuku pinned Neko with the Pom de Justice (6:57).
2. Hikari Noa defeated Raku with the Uranage (8:02).
3. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Suzume defeated Nodoka Tenma, Yuki Aino & Mirai Maiumi when Watanabe pinned Maiumi with the Tear Drop (12:20).
4. ROAD TO Kokugikan Special Tag Match: Shoko Nakajima & Miyu Yamashita Vs Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
5. International Princess Title: Maki Itoh defeated Yuna Manase (c) with a Cutback Cradle (11:16).
*Yuna Manase fails in V1. Maki Itoh becomes the 3rd International Princess Champion!
6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Sakisama & Misao (c) defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa when Sakisama pinned Shirakawa with the Academy Award (15:57).
*V3 for NEO Biishiki-gun.

Pink Ready surprised NEO Biishiki-gun with an unexpected attack from the start. Yuki Kamifuku had the clever idea of taping Sakisama’s hands to the rope to keep her out of the match. Sakisama was able to escape by squeezing her hands out of her gloves. Mina Shirakawa hit the Implant DDT on Sakisama late in the match but Misao broke the pin. Biishiki-gun gave Kamifuku the 3D, leaving Shirakawa to fight by herself. She tried to hold on but she fell to Sakisama’s Academy Award kick.

Sakisama called today’s match a wonderful victory. NEO Biishiki-gun will now go on to defend the Princess Tag Team Titles at Sumo Hall but there are no teams good enough to challenge them. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe came out. The two want to team up together and challenge for the titles. Sakisama wasn’t convinced but Tatsumi then went to hug Misao to see if deep down Misao still likes her. Misao pushed her away and said the only things that matter to her is power, strength, the tag titles and Sakisama. She’ll put the titles on the line to prove it. Sakisama agreed to the challenge but she is a little disappointed to be wrestling in Sumo Hall instead of dancing in a ball there.

Well here is a shocker. Maki Itoh is the new International Princess Champion! She was put in danger when Yuna Manase hit a Lariat and followed up with the Suzuki Dynamic finisher. But Itoh reversed the pin and got the three count out of nowhere to win the title! Itoh was in tears afterwards yet she still found the time to give Manase the middle finger. Itoh told everyone she was bullied in school, almost died from depression, got fired from her idol job and even ruined the 4th January main event earlier this year. But now she is a champion! If you can’t stand up in life, just look at Itoh. She will stand up with the title again and again!

Preparations for “ULTIMATE PARTY 2019!” saw Shoko Nakajima & Miyu Yamashita versus Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki go to a 20 minute draw. In the final moments of the match Sakazaki gave Nakajima a Complete Shot and was applied an Omoplata when the bell rang. Yamashita and Mizuki had to pull them apart. Backstage Sakazaki said she tried not to get emotional today but she couldn’t help letting her fighting spirit come out. Nakajima also admitted she got hot headed because she did not want to lose. She also thinks the Princess Title Match will be one that many will look forward to at Sumo Hall. Nakajima hopes she and Sakazaki will level up with each other. The longer their match goes, the more she sees the face of a killer in Sakazaki. She looks forward to facing that killer.

After a five month injury absence, Haruna Neko had her first match back today. She took the losing fall so her short term goal is to catch up with the rest of her class. She feels out of sync with them because she was gone for so long.

Two new trainees were introduced to the crowd. Aona is a 20 year old college student. Her goal is to reach Miyu Yamashita. Yurara is a 13 year old junior high school student. Her goal is to reach Yuka Sakazaki.
