TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 01/06/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
258 Fans – No Vacancy

1. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Pom Harajuku and Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi pinned Harajuku with a Sunset Flip (7:16).
2. Sakisama & Misao defeated Nodoka Tenma & Himawari Unagi when Misao pinned Unagi with the Vanitas (11:07).
3. Shoko Nakajima, Yuka Sakazaki & Miu Watanabe defeated Natsumi Maki, Hikari Noa & Mirai Maiumi when Nakajima submitted Maiumi with the Unmanned Local Train Hold (12:25).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Maki Itoh defeated Raku with the Itoh Special (6:16).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Yuna Manase defeated Yuki Aino with the Suzuki Dynamic (6:06).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Mina Shirakawa with the Magical Girl Splash (9:36).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Mizuki defeated Miyu Yamashita with the Cutie Special (11:10).

The Tokyo Princess Cup has always been Miyu Yamashita’s weak point and this year was no different. Sometimes it was shock upsets against weaker opponents and other times it’s been first round eliminations caused by wrestlers just as strong as her. Today was the latter. Mizuki outwrestled Yamashita by putting her in a Facelock. Yamashita rolled out of it but Mizuki caught her in a Casadora and followed with a Double Stomp. From there Mizuki hit the Cutie Special to get the win. Mizuki was in tears while she gave her victory speech and admitted she didn’t even think she would be talking on the microphone after the main event today. She respects Yamashita for all the times she watched her headline a Korakuen Hall show. Today’s win now gives Mizuki enough confidence to believe that she will win this year’s Princess Cup!

A disappointed Mina Shirakawa after her match said over and over that she wanted to fly today just like Yuka Sakazaki. Shirakawa attacked Sakazaki before the match began in a move she admits is inspired by Hayabusa’s ambush on Jushin Liger from the Super J Cup. Although she lost the match, Shirakawa wants to get strong enough so she can wrestle abroad like Sakazaki just did.

Yuna Manase is still feeling motivated after her “Pochari Joshi” match in Ganbare☆Wrestling back in April. She wants to win for the fans that cheered for her back then and also to prove she belongs in Tokyo Joshi Pro. With this she was able to stay in her match after taking Yuki Aino’s Side Suplex and won with the Suzuki Dynamic.

That Raku is a sneaky one, I tell you. When her match with Maki Itoh was about to begin, Raku was crying with nerves while she shook Itoh’s hand and telling herself to pull things together. Then when Itoh was returning to her corner, Raku jumped her with a flying kick! Itoh stopped her with a DDT and the Itoh Special to go through. Raku explained that the lyrics to Itoh’s music was what moved her to tears and the audience’s cheers grew her desire to win.

The Tokyo Princess Cup 2nd Round matches are Natsumi Maki Vs Maki Itoh, Rika Tatsumi Vs Yuna Manase, Shoko Nakajima Vs Mizuki and Miu Watanabe Vs Yuka Sakazaki.

NEO Biishiki-gun were put off by how excitable Himawari Unagi was by their moves in the ring. But never mind about her, it’s Mizuki that they’re interested in. Misao said that when she and Sakisama return to Shin-Kiba 1st RING next week they will win the Tokyo Princess Tag Team Titles.

Rika Tatsumi expected Pom Harajuku and Mahiro Kiryu to team up against her so she asked for the 3 Way Match to be turned into a Handicap Match. However Harajuku and Kiryu assured her that they wanted the ordinary 3 Way Match as planned. Harajuku hit the Laforet Harajuku to Kiryu but Tatsumi then cradled her to steal the pin.


TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP OPENING ROUND” Results

May 25, 2019

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP OPENING ROUND”, 25/05/2019
Kitazawa Town Hall
294 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Raku, Mina Shirakawa & Mirai Maiumi defeated Yuna Manase, Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Shirakawa pinned Kiryu with the Implant DDT (9:10).
2. Sakisama & Misao defeated Mizuki & YUMI when Sakisama submitted YUMI with the Versailles Foot Choke (11:12).
3. Miyu Yamashita & Reika Saiki defeated Marika Kobashi & Yuki Aino by TKO when Yamashita used the Modified Cobra Clutch on Kobashi (12:52).
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Rika Tatsumi defeated Himawari Unagi with the Missile Hips (7:52).
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Miu Watanabe defeated Nodoka Tenma with the Tear Drop (7:56).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Natsumi Maki defeated Hikari Noa with a German Suplex (10:15).
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima defeated Yuki Kamifuku with the Northern Lights Suplex (12:05).

Yuki Kamifuku pulled in Daisuke Kiso to prevent Shoko Nakajima from hitting the Northern Lights Suplex. In the middle of this fracas, Nakajima went for a Dropkick but Kiso took the hit instead of Kamifuku. The absence of a referee gave Kamifuku a chance to win but Nakajima was able to recover. Kamifuku had some fight left when she kicked out of the Northern Lights but one more use of the move eliminated her from the Tokyo Princess Cup. Nakajima admitted this turned into a dangerous match and it is becoming more difficult to win the tournament. She wants to win the Princess Cup while holding the TOKYO Princess Title because it hasn’t been done before.

There were hugs and smiles from Pandemic Boo-Boo after their match so Hikari Noa has no hard feelings over losing to Natsumi Maki. Maki hopes that this will become a meaningful match for Noa.

We only had to wait until the second match for the big upset of the tournament. Miu Watanabe overcame the odds to beat Nodoka Tenma! She escaped from the Killswitch and struck Tenma with the Laser Beam Punch. Watanabe then used a spinning version of the Flapjack called the Tear Drop to get the win. Watanabe wanted to go all out today to make up for missing last year’s Princess Cup.

Well so much for that fan vote. Himawari Unagi was the first woman eliminated from the tournament after a loss to Rika Tatsumi. Unagi feels regret over the result not just for her but also her generation of Tokyo Joshi Pro wrestlers. She thinks this class of five women are the most in-sync amongst the roster so she was representing them just as much as herself. For Tatsumi the win was just what she needed for a confidence boost.

Marika Kobashi was given a harsh looking farewell from Tokyo Joshi when Miyu Yamashita defeated her with the Modified Cobra Clutch. But that was the kind of treatment Kobashi wanted for her final match as a high school student. She thanked Yamashita and Reika Saiki for everything they’ve done for her even though her neck was left feeling sore. When her school exams are done she will prepare her body and mind for her return to Tokyo Joshi.

NEO Bishiiki-gun tried to make Mizuki see their way of life during their tag match. When Misao had YUMI held in a rest hold, Sakisama cut off Mizuki by putting her in a ballroom dance pose like she used to do with Azusa Christie. Mizuki said she hated it and later refused Misao’s request to “build a new world together.” Sakisama said backstage that Mizuki would look good in black and white. She promised to take away the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles from Mizuki as well as her mind and her heart!

It was announced that the music video for “Upper Kick!” by the Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) is approaching 10,000 views on Youtube. The Up Up Girls are asking their fans to watch the video 30 times a day so it can surpass that number.


Tokyo Princess Cup 1st Round Matches

May 18, 2019

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP OPENING ROUND”, 25/05/2019
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Yuna Manase, Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu Vs Raku, Mina Shirakawa & Mirai Maiumi
2. Miyu Yamashita & Reika Saiki Vs Marika Kobashi & Yuki Aino
3. Sakisama & Misao Vs Mizuki & YUMI
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1D: Rika Tatsumi Vs Himawari Unagi
5. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1C: Nodoka Tenma Vs Miu Watanabe
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1B: Natsumi Maki Vs Hikari Noa
7. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1A: Shoko Nakajima Vs Yuki Kamifuku

Shoko Nakajima has a lot she wants to do as the current TOKYO Princess Champion. She already had a successful title defence. Next is winning the Tokyo Princess Cup, a tournament she has had plenty of experience with. She wants to win it as the champion so she can choose her next challenger for Osaka in September. Yuki Kamifuku likes to live happliy and brightly. She promises to do her best so she can have a fun summer.

Pandemic Boo-Boo explodes! The team have been paired together for the first round. Hikari Noa is the only member of the Up Up Girls to have previously competed in the Princess Cup. She said Natsumi Maki is the most difficult person to wrestling in the tournament. Noa admits she probably won’t win but it is still her goal to get the victory no matter who she faces.

Miu Watanabe failed to enter the Princess Cup last year because she lost the qualifier match to Hikari Noa. A lot has changed this year so Watanabe is taking her chance to fight power with power against Nodoka Tenma. Speaking of Tenma, she is aiming to go one step ahead of her performance from last year and reach the final.

Himawari Unagi thanks everyone for voting her into the final spot. The first time she saw pro wrestling was last year’s Princess Cup final where she got to watch really cool and pretty women having amazing fights. She wants to be a part of such matches too. Rika Tatsumi felt she lost more than just a match when she was eliminated in the semi-finals last year. Her injury took place shortly afterwards so she is coming into this tournament feeling dissatisfied about her current situation. The only way she can overcome this is win the Princess Cup!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 01/06/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1H: Yuna Manase Vs Yuki Aino
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1G: Maki Itoh Vs Raku
3. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1F: Yuka Sakazaki Vs Mina Shirakawa
4. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 1E: Miyu Yamashita Vs Mizuki

Mizuki has gotten so used to tag team wrestling that the possibility of going on a singles run makes her feel a little uneasy. She won’t have a tag partner to rely on when she faces Miyu Yamashita in the first round. Yamashita needs to regain some momentum after losing her two championships. But the Princess Cup has traditionally been her Achilles heel. It’s the one place where she suffers upset defeats more often than anywhere else.

Mina Shirakawa describes her match with Yuka Sakazaki is a situation similar to Hayabusa Vs Jushin Liger from the 1994 Super J Cup! Sakazaki is gaining attention outside of Japan so Shirakawa sees this as a great opportunity for her.

Raku gets to enter the Princess Cup for the first time. She wasn’t considered for last year’s tournament because she had not won a match by that point. Maki Itoh intimidated a Weekly Pro Wrestling promoter into calling her the favourite to win this year’s tournament.

Yuna Manase is aiming to get past the 1st Round which is something she was unable to do in her previous two attempts. She believes she cannot advance her career if does not advance into at least the 2nd round. Yuki Aino has impressed Manase with her hard work lately and Aino likes to think of her as a kind sister. Aino wants to leave a strong impression on her as she enters the tournament for the first time.

None of the NEO Biishiki-gun members are entering the tournament this year. They are more interested in winning the Tokyo Princess Tag Team Titles. Also Sakisama wants Mizuki to join her collection of wrestlers. Her leadership did wonders for Misao. Imagine what it could do for Mizuki?

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 08/06/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: X Vs X
2. Tokyo Princess Cup – Round 2: X Vs X
3. Tokyo Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Sakisama & Misao

The first time Yuka Sakazaki lost the Tokyo Princess Tag Team Titles, it was to Sakisama and the NEO Biishiki-gun unit. Will history repeat itself?

Himawari Unagi won the DDT UNIVERSE vote for the final spot in the Tokyo Princess Cup. The decision to book the tag title match during the tournament has resulted in a delay to create the playoff bracket in order to avoid having Sakazaki and/or Mizuki wrestle twice on this show if they were to advance past the first round. Tokyo Joshi Pro will now wait until the 1st Round matches are drawn before determining the new bracket.

1. Yuki Aino defeated Mirai Maiumi with the Venus DDT (6:57).
2. Yuna Manase defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Suzuki Dynamic (7:42).
3. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Raku defeated Haruna Neko, YUMI & Himawari Unagi when Mizuki pinned Unagi with the Diving Foot Stomp (9:32).

7. Thunder Rosa, Allysin Kay & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Shoko Nakajima, Miyu Yamashita & Miu Watanabe when Rosa pinned Watanabe with the Reinella Splash (11:08).

Thunder Rosa countered Miu Watanabe’s Canadian Backbreaker into the Reinella Splash to win the main event. After the match Rosa faced off with Shoko Nakajima while Allysin Kay and Miyu Yamashita stared each other down. Nakajima motivated Yamashita and said both of them will defend their titles tomorrow and together become Mega Double Champs!

Misao is getting annoyed that “weeds” are spreading to places where the winds are gentle. She does not want to even see weak people let alone be associated with them. Sakisama agreed and talked to Tetsuya Koda about adding the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles and also the “pure white child” Mizuki to her collection. Koda said he would book a tag title match for Osaka on 12th May but Sakisama said she will be busy in Paris that day. Instead she wants the title match to happen during the Tokyo Princess Cup. In return she will agree not to enter the tournament this year. Koda did not make an immediate decision.

Mina Shirakawa gave Maki Itoh the middle finger after their match. Itoh grabbed the finger and twisted it. She then stuck up her own middle finger to Shirakawa.

Pandemic Boo-Boo used a Double Argentine Facebuster on Marika Kobashi to set up their winning pinfall.

Don’t know if it was just a bit of rookie hazing but Yuna Manase stomped on Mahiro Kiryu after their match.

It was revealed the 2019 Tokyo Princess Cup will begin on 25th May and the final will be held on 7th July.

7. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) defeated Natsumi Maki & Hikari Noa when Sakazaki pinned Noa with the Magical Magical Girl Splash (13:11).
*V6 for The Magical Sugar Rabbits.
8. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima defeated Miyu Yamashita (c) with the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex (17:57).
*Miyu Yamashita fails in V11. Shoko Nakajima becomes the 6th TOKYO Princess Of Princess Champion!

Shoko Nakajima has become the Big Kaiju of Tokyo Joshi Pro! She toughed it out to end Miyu Yamashita’s dominant reign as the TOKYO Princess Champion, taking all that the champ could throw at her. The end came when Yamashita went for the Crash Rabbit Heat but Nakajima caught her with the Northern Lights Suplex. Then Nakajima rolled it through to do another Northern Lights for the three count.

When the match ended Nakajima said Yamashita is the best ace but now it is her who has the belt. However Nakajima doesn’t feel like she has the belt at all. She feels she needs to defend it a lot from now on so it will truly become hers. Thunder Rosa then came out to greet the new champion. Rosa said congratulations to the “Little Kaiju” then challenged her to a title match in Sapporo on Monday. When she called Nakajima a “Little Kaiju” Nakajima shouted “Big Kaiju!” back at her and accepted the challenge.

Pandemic Boo-Boo got their second shot at the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles but still couldn’t beat The Magical Sugar Rabbits. The combination of the Cutie Special, Magical Merry-Go-Round and the Magical Magical Girl Splash earned the champions their 6th defence. Yuka Sakazaki said afterwards that the belts feel heavier after every defence. She wanted to go celebrate with hamburgers when NEO Biishiki-gun interrupted her speech. Sakisama scoffed at the idea of eating burgers then turned her attention over to Mizuki. She thinks Mizuki looks pure white next to Sakazaki but if she becomes part of Sakiama’s collection she will shine even brighter. Misao tried to convince Mizuki to join NEO Biishiki-gun and listed all of the positive things that happened to herself since she joined. For example Misao’s hair has grown naturally and beautifully. Also her knee injury that hampered her previous life has become fully healed. It sounds like they are challenging the champions for a title match but it’s not. That’s because NEO Biishiki-gun are always the ones who accepts challenges, not make them. The Sugar Rabbits said they won’t let Sakisama get what she wants!

Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe’s mission to turn Misao back into Hyper Misao was a big failure. They showed her a poster of Hyper Misao to jog her memories but Misao ripped the poster apart. With no other option Tatsumi had to wrestle Misao. She almost had her beat with the Dragon Sleeper but Sakisama broke the hold. Sakisama kicked Watanabe away with an Apron PK while Misao pinned Tatsumi with the Vanitas. Tatsumi still thinks Hyper Misao is still sleeping somwhere in her heart but Misao felt very cold. Watanabe also took shots at Sakisama, saying it’s not beautiful to make a fool out of other people.

Aja Kong said she’d give Maki Itoh ten minutes of her time and she lived up to her promise. Heck, she even got an extra 47 seconds out of it! Rumours were going around that Itoh’s head is tougher than Kong’s steel cans. It looked that way at points but when Itoh hit the Flying Big Head, Kong kicked out at one. It wasn’t long before Kong had Itoh beaten but Itoh got to stick her middle finger in Kong’s face before taking defeat. And after too. Itoh then got on the microphone afterwards and said the loss won’t effect her because she represents the Reiwa Era and she will never lose!

Marika Kobashi ends her current run with Tokyo Joshi on the winners side with Reika Saiki. Raku did well teaming with Riho but ultimately fell to Saiki’s power.

Thunder Rosa was just as concerned with trying to out-sexy Yuki Kamifuku as she was trying to out-wrestle her. Kamifuku hit the Fame Asser but Rosa was able to reach the ropes. She then blocked Kamifuku’s Brainbuster and hit the Reinella Splash to win.

The debut of Mirai Maiumi turned out to be a big occasion because the first Tiger Mask, Satoru Sayama was there in person to present her with an encouragement award before the match. Maiumi wants to be a power based wrestler and tried to beat Nodoka Tenma with a Reverse Lariat. Tenma instead caught Maiumi in the Killswitch to end the rookie’s first match with a loss.

Yuna Manase & Himawari Unagi did what works for them most when they team together and that’s smothering their opponent’s faces with their chests. Doing that to Pom Harajuku allowed Manase to pin her with the Suzuki Dynamic afterwards.

Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
180 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Nodoka Tenma defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the WAR Special (8:15).
2. Thunder Rosa defeated Mina Shirakawa with the Thunder Driver (6:46).
3. Yuna Manase & Yuki Kamifuku defeated Yuki Aino & Miu Watanabe when Manase pinned Aino with the Suzuki Dynamic (9:24).

Not much to talk about the matches themselves but the contract signings that took place before them gave the girls plenty of chances to give some final words before tomorrow’s big show in Korakuen Hall.

After getting knocked out a few days ago, Shoko Nakajima has learned not to take Miyu Yamashita even the slightest bit lightly. In return Yamashita has realised the chances of beating Nakajima the same way twice in a row is unlikely.

Pandemic Boo-Boo have promised to show their gratitude towards the TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles for as long as people support them. The Magical Sugar Rabbits are as ambitious as ever and feel invincible when they team together.

Rika Tatsumi has a lot to handle mentally tomorrow. Not only is she fighting to turn Misao back into Hyper Misao but she has fought Sakisama and NEO Biishiki-gun plenty of times before. Miu Watanabe thinks it is more beautiful to team with a person like Tatsumi instead of Sakisama. Misao made the signing even tenser when she poured water over Watanabe’s head. Sakisama joked that she ordered Misao to water the weeds.

Aja Kong wasn’t in attendance so Maki Itoh took the opportunity to have the spotlight all to herself. She said she will crush Kong because she doesn’t see Kong as a legend, just another wrestler. There is talk going around that Itoh’s head is tougher than Kong’s steel can.

Poison Sawada JULIE and one of his creations Hoshihebi have been added to the tag gauntlet. JULIE warns everyone that he will burn down Shinjuku FACE with glowing lotus flames!

Jun Masaoka doesn’t want to get along with anybody but he is pretty much a part of the current BASARA rookie generation. Takato Nakano & Masato Kamino have been teaming together anyway. A third partner for them wouldn’t hurt.

5. DDT Extreme Title: HARASHIMA (c) Vs Antonio Honda
6. KO-D Tag Team Titles – 4 Way Tag Match: Daisuke Sasaki (c) & Soma Takao Vs Konosuke Takeshita & Shunma Katsumata (?) Vs MAO & Mike Bailey Vs Ricky Starks & Mike Rollins
7. KO-D Openweight Title: Tetsuya Endo (c) Vs Makoto Oishi

For his first KO-D Openweight Title defence, Tetsuya Endo has chosen Makoto Oishi to be his opponent because he is guaranteed to beat him. That was proven over the weekend when Endo submitted Oishi in the main event of Sunday’s show. Oishi thinks he has a chance because he could outsmart Endo with his wrestling knowledge. Endo thinks he has everything in his arsenal to beat Oishi anyway no matter how Oishi uses his head when they wrestle.

There is a lot of craziness surrounding the KO-D Tag Team Titles match. Konosuke Takeshita challenged the new champions DAMNATION because he wants to get revenge for losing the KO-D Title to Daisuke Sasaki in New York. The Moonlight Express want to get their rematch because they are the former champions. Newcomers Ricky Starks & Mike Rollins saw an opportunity to get involved in the title picture and also want to be in the match. So we are getting a 4 Way Match for the belts. Now there is a new bump in the road for ALL OUT because it was announced today that Shunma Katsumata is out of action for an undetermined amount of time with a left ankle injury.

The mascot Pokotan wrestles in a DDT ring for the first time since its debut at “JUDGEMENT 2019”.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND 2019 ~OPPORTUNITY IS THERE~”, 03/05/2019
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Reika Saiki & Marika Kobashi Vs Riho & Raku
2. Sakisama & Misao Vs Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe
3. Special Single Match: Aja Kong Vs Maki Itoh
4. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) Vs Natsumi Maki & Hikari Noa
5. TOKYO Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

With 10 defences under her belt and two championships over her shoulders, Miyu Yamashita has been looking mighty unbeatable lately. Yuka Sakazaki has been the same and both of them have more overseas bookings they’re looking forward too. Sadly for Shoko Nakajima when it comes to the most established power trio of Tokyo Joshi she’s been feeling left out. Well no more! Nakajima has challenged Yamashita for the TOKYO Princess Title at Korakuen Hall. Will Anguirus topple Godzilla?

Misao is constantly telling everyone that Hyper Misao is dead and never coming back. Rika Tatsumi doesn’t believe her and is willing to fight her to prove the superhero is still alive in there somewhere. Miu Watanabe has been constantly fighting and losing to NEO Biishiki-gun ever since Misao joined the unit. With the Up Up Girls now down one member and her other partners currently taking separate paths, she gets another chance to stand up to Sakisama.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING TOUR ’19 ~ READY SET, GO!” Results

April 14, 2019

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING TOUR ’19 ~ READY SET, GO!”, 13/04/2019
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
250 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Rika Tatsumi & Haruna Neko defeated Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Tatsumi submitted Kiryu with the Dragon Sleeper (8:57).
2. Reika Saiki defeated YUMI with the Tower Bridge (7:20).
3. Natsumi Maki & Hikari Noa defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mina Shirakawa when Maki pinned Shirakawa with the Backlash (7:41).
4. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Yuna Manase & Himawari Unagi when Sakazaki pinned Unagi with a Missile Kick (12:02).
5. Sakisama & Misao defeated Miu Watanabe & Raku when Misao pinned Watanabe with the Vanitas (14:09).
6. Miyu Yamashita, Shoko Nakajima & Marika Kobashi defeated Maki Itoh, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino when Nakajima pinned Aino with a Frankensteiner (14:46).

A High Kick from Miyu Yamashita to Yuki Aino gave Shoko Nakajima the opening to pin Aino with a Frankensteiner. She congratulated Yamashita on becoming a double champion but asked when she would next defend the TOKYO Princess Title because she wants a shot! Yamashita silently agreed to it and left Nakajima in the ring. Nakajima said Yamashita is like Godzilla and Yuka Sakazaki is like Mothra. This makes Nakajima feel like Anguirus (the kaiju that came after Godzilla and is kind of forgotten about). On 3rd May at Korakuen Hall, Nakajima will face Yamashita and this time Anguirus will win!

Misao is now using a Reverse Tiger Driver which she has named Vanitas. She ran down the Up Up Girls on the microphone, telling them their hard work, sweat, tears and friendship are all meaningless. Rika Tatsumi entered the ring and stood up to Misao. She tried to convince Misao that she is Hyper Misao, the hero that protects love and peace in Tokyo Joshi Pro! Misao denied that and said she executed the weak the same way one would remove weeds from a garden. Tatsumi told Miu Watanabe she will team with her to battle NEO Biishiki-gun on 3rd May.

Marika Kobashi will be taking another break from pro wrestling after 25th May to focus on her education. Her goal is to go to university so she is studying a lot to pass her exams.
