2. 3 Way Match: Yuki Kamifuku defeated Marika Kobashi and Pom Harajuku when Kamifuku pinned Harajuku with the Famouser (7:06).
3. Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Yuki Aino & Mahiro Kiryu when Saint-Michel pinned Kiryu after the Tarte Tatin (9:09).
4. Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Raku defeated Nodoka Tenma, Nao Kakuta & Haruna Neko when Nakajima pinned Neko with the Northern Lights Suplex (11:03).

6. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Suzume defeated Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Arisu Endo when Tatsumi submitted Endo with the Dragon Sleeper (12:47).
The first Tokyo Joshi Pro show held in front of a women only audience was considered a big success. Rika Tatsumi gathered everyone in the main event together at the end to promote TJPW’s upcoming shows and tell the fans they will be waiting for them. For the backstage comments, Tatsumi was grateful to see so many people come to see the show. Miu Watanabe has performed in front of women only crowds before at idol concerts but she had great fun wrestling in front of them too. Suzume liked seeing the fans look so happy and wondered if she looked the same back when she was a fan attending shows. Yuka Sakazaki said there was a floral smell in the air coming from the audience. Mizuki joked that they smell better than Sakazaki but she still smells nice, like bathing in the forest. Arisu Endo just laughed at them arguing and stayed out of it.
Since today was “Girl’s Day” Maki Itoh gifted Miyu Yamashita one of her ribbons to tie in her hair for their match. HikaShio pulled it out, telling her it doesn’t look good on her. Itoh wouldn’t forgive them and the match became heated from there. Itoh dropped Hikari Noa with a DDT, Yamashita hit Sena Shiori with the Skull Kick and Itoh pinned her with the Flying Big Head. Yamashita couldn’t find the ribbon after the match and left the ring feeling sad.
Traps were laid out by Hyper Misao to distract each of her opponents and isolate Haruna Neko from the rest of her team. They placed a mouse toy for Nao Kakuta to play with but Neko caught it instead. Also a rice ball was left out for Nodoka Tenma but she picked it up to eat in the ring instead of eating it at the entrance stage. Misao then attempted the ambush but was surprised to see it didn’t work. At least Shoko Nakajima & Raku were there to help get Misao out of trouble.
The usual Up Up Girls performance at the start of the show was delayed thanks to an early appearance from NEO Biishiki-gun. They thanked everyone for attending their “beauty theatre” today. Sakisama asked Mei Saint-Michel what role she would like to play. She innocently replied she wanted to play Sakisama! The real Sakisama didn’t know how to react but when it was time for their match, Saint-Michel got to wear Sakisama’s hat and attack their opponents with her rose. After they defeated Yuki Aino & Mahiro Kiryu, Sakisama told them they are best suited for playing the roles of stones and trees. When NEO Biishiki-gun wins the Princess Tag Team Titles the belts will become diamond class graded at one million carats!
Before the 3 Way Match began, all participants agreed to compete without wearing any lipstick, colored contact lenses or foundation. Anyone caught breaking that rule would be disqualified immediately. Yuki Kamifuku walked out with light makeup on her face and Marika Kobashi wore sunglasses but everyone gave each other the OK to start the match. Kobashi was targeted because of the sunglasses. She argued a Gal should have vibes so she needs to wear the glasses to replace the contact lenses. Pom Harajuku armed herself with makeup remover wiped Kamifuku’s face with it. Kamifuku used the same wipes on Kobashi before pinning Harajuku with the Famouser.
For the opening match, Mirai Maiumi stomped her feet to get the audience to clap for her and Moka Miyamoto.
The second “GO GIRL” show will take place on 11th July at Itabashi Green Hall. Today’s show was free attendance but tickets for the second show will be priced at 2,000 yen.

Two teams went into battle to win the much desired all you can eat meal from Genghis Khan Kirishima. Team Red were led by Shoko Nakajima while Team White was captained by Rika Tatsumi. They cheered on their teammates throughout the 11 match challenge while Shota and Tetsuya Koda did commentary.
Nakajima went first for her team and defeated Mahiro Kiryu in the opening match. 2 Count Rules meant everybody was kept on their toes and looking for quick pins. Nakajima proved that by using a Hurricanrana to win.
Team Red then went 2-0 when Pom Harajuku beat Arisu Endo. The rookie tried to capitalise from a missed Pom Do Justice but Harajuku dodged her follow up and got her finisher the second time for the pin.
HikaShio were pitted against each other with both Hikari Noa and Sena Shiori determined to win. Noa got the better of her tag partner with a Rotating Leg Fold cradle (I thought she had a name for that, the Saigo No Bansan or something?).
A karate confrontation was up next when Miyu Yamashita faced Moka Miyamoto. After some back and forth sparring, Yamashita won with the Skull Kick, tying the scored at 2-2.
The first of several time limit draws started with Mirai Maiumi Vs Hyper Misao. But before that happened, Misao came out wearing another mask over her own. She claimed to be an incarnation of the being that controls the masks of all heroes and it had taken over Misao’s body to search for a once in a century talent. She believes Maiumi is that person and she offered her a superhero mask that contained the spirits of all the past heroes. Maiumi fell for the trick and Misao attacked her, revealing she isn’t being possessed at all. The five minutes expired while Mirai was trying to get her opponent in the Miramare. She went back to the move when the match restarted but Misao rolled on top of her for the sudden death 1 Count Pin to win.
The restaurant sponsoring the show specializes in lamb meat so Miu Watanabe spent last night counting sheep in bed so she could win with her head full of sheep. Marika Kobashi though kicked out of a Falling Canadian Backbreaker at one and fought Watanabe to a time limit draw. Kobashi then surprised Watanabe with a Cradle to quickly win during extra time. After six matches the show was at its halfway point and the captains did quick interviews about the results so far. It was 3-3 so still all to play for.
The Raku Vs Yuki Aino match began with Raku inviting Aino to lie down next to her for the Good Night Express. It also caused the referee to lie down too. When it came to actually wrestling, Aino pinned Raku with the Side Suplex.
Yuki Kamifuku is confused over why Nao Kakuta’s nickname is “Rat Chaser”. Kakuta explained that it’s not her nickname but her catchphrase. Also, Kakuta has been here for four months already and everyone has accepted her except for one person, Yuki Kamifuku! She was determined to beat her today even is Kamifuku is a champion. The two fought tooth and nail with each other, lasting the full five minutes. In overtime, Kakuta gouged Kamifuku’s eyes from behind and pinned her with a School Boy for the upset.
Mizuki described her match with Nodoka Tenma like it was a rabbit against a raccoon. She Dropkicked Tenma out of the ring then hit a Diving Body Press out of the ring. Tenma tried to do the Killswitch but Mizuki countered it into the Cutie Special for the pinfall.
With two matches left, Team White had a chance to win the challenge early if Haruna Neko could beat Yuka Sakazaki. Luckily for Team Red, Sakazaki outsmarted Neko and won with the Magical Merry-Go-Round.
With the score tied at 5-5 it was all on the line in the final match. Team White captain Tatsumi fought against Suzume, who knew she now had a lot of responsibility on her shoulders. She went for the win but couldn’t get Tatsumi pinned for long enough. Time ran out and the last match went into overtime. Suzume kicked out of a Hip Attack before the 1 Count but she was done for when Tatsumi hit a Sliding Hip attack for the victory.
Team White were declared the winners and given the meal voucher by Koda. Tatsumi wanted to go eat with Mizuki straight away but then said all of Team White should go together to celebrate. Nakajima complained about the results and told Koda that Suzume deserves something for her performance. He should do something before Nakajima reveals what secret Maria Makino merchandise Koda keeps in his room. Koda stopped her and said everyone who wrestled today deserves a meal so he will treat everyone to lunch at Genghis Khan Kirishima!

1. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo when Kiryu pinned Miyamoto with the Spinebuster (9:38).
2. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko when Watanabe pinned Neko with the Tear Drop (10:56).
3. Miyu Yamashiya, Maki Itoh, Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Hikari Noa, Sena Shiori, Mirai Maiumi & Suzume when Nakajima pinned Suzume with the Northern Lights Suplex (9:08).
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Marika Kobashi & Raku when Sakisama submitted Kobashi with the Versailles Foot Choke (11:25).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki when Tenma pinned Mizuki with the Killswitch (13:09).
The Bakuretsu Sisters have one goal on their minds in the “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament. They want to cement their status as THE tag team in Tokyo Joshi Pro’s entire existence. The current Princess Tag Team Champions are on track to prove it by eliminating The Magical Sugar Rabbits in the first round! Nodoka Tenma asked for some time to rest but Yuki Aino reminded her that Round 2 takes place tomorrow.
Mei Saint-Michel went into today’s show still depressed over experiencing her first defeat. She cheered herself up by copying Marika Kobashi & Raku’s mannerisms and told Sakisama she is okay after they won their match. Mei’s attempts at doing Kobashi’s Gal poses annoyed Sakisama, who thinks they are vulgar. Later backstage something ominous happened. Sakiama’s rose fell apart in her hands during her post-match interview. She thinks it’s a sign that a storm is coming tonight. What could that storm be?
The tournament is a chance for the lower level wrestlers to step up but Rika Tatsumi thinks her opponents failed to do that today. She wanted Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko to come at Daydream with enough momentum to break them but Tatsumi was left disappointed. Miu Watanabe expected them to have more unique attacks than just sneaker kicks and nail scratching. On the bright side, at least the result showed that Daydream are still a powerful force together.
Yuki Kamifuku celebrates her birthday today by advancing to Round 2 with Mahiro Kiryu. Kamifuku’s advice to her tag partner is to look beyond just winning the Max Heart tournament. Everyone in the tournament is thinking about winning so their goal should be to gain Max popularity!
Tomorrow’s Round 2 matches are Daydream Vs Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh, Toyo University Tag Vs Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori, Bakuretsu Sisters Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao and NEO Biishiki-gun Vs BeeStar. Everyone who lost in the 1st Round today are being thrown into an 8-Woman Tag Match.

4. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel when Itoh pinned Saint-Michel with the Flying Big Head (16:54).

6. Princess Tag Team Titles: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino (c) defeated Shin Ultra Shoko & Hyper Misao when Aino pinned Shoko with the UBV (13:28). *V2 for The Bakuretsu Sisters.
7. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) defeated Miu Watanabe with the Missile Hips (18:18). *V1 for Rika Tatsumi.
The Daydream showdown marked Rika Tatsumi’s first defence of the Princess Of Princess Title. She survived a Top Rope Canadian Backbreaker Drop from Miu Watanabe then countered the Tear Drop into the Twist Of Fate. From there Tatsumi hit Watanabe with Hip Attacks until she got the pin with the Missile Hips. Tatsumi thought she was going to be too strong for Watanabe but that didn’t happen at all. She thinks that is amazing and thanked Watanabe for fighting her. She will continue to support Watanabe building the bridge between idols and pro wrestling. Tatsumi also has a dream and that is to make Tokyo Joshi Pro bigger. The two of them agreed to continue teaming together as Daydream and they will enter the “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament beginning later this month.
A big battle requires big armour. The Tokyo Joshingers arrived for their Princess Tag Team Titles match wearing new combat suits which left the referee Yukinori Matsui looking confused. The Bakuretsu Sisters tore the armour off to start the match. Yuki Aino cut off Shin Ultra Shoko by pulling her down by her cloak. Shoko freed herself from the cloak and wiped out the Sisters outside the ring with a Suicide Dive. Hyper Misao followed up by throwing a dislodged piece of her Combat Bicycle at them. The challengers had their chance but Aino suddenly countered Shoko’s Northern Lights Suplex into the Venus DDT. She then finished her off with the UBV for the three count. Backstage after the match, Shoko said she will entrust Misao and The Bakuretsu Sisters to protect the world while she returns to the stars. Her month as a superhero has ended and Shoko Nakajima will return. She also wants the Sisters to have her mask while she is gone. Misao is sad to see Shin Ultra Shoko leave already but she still wants to team with Nakajima for the Max Hearts Tournament. Nodoka Tenma promises to win the tournament so everyone will remember The Bakuretsu Sisters as TJPW’s number one tag team.
Sadly for Mirai Maiumi, the Miramare Shock did not happen today. She was all ready for it too with a new look. Yuki Kamifuku had something new of her own to show off, a new entrance song. Kamifuku kicked away Maiumi’s custom steel case made for today’s match and even closed it over her opponent’s head for added insult. Maiumi trapped Kamifuku in the Miramare submission but Kamifuku found ways to get out of it. She ended up winning with two Fame Assers, one from the second rope. Maiumi wonders if Kamifuku delivered her own Miramare Shock before the match even happened. She kept making fun of Maiumi’s rural background and all it did was make Maiumi notice things about her that she never noticed before. Maiumi promises she will deliver the Miramare Shock some day and when she does, everyone will be seeing a new Mirai Maiumi. Kamifuku said was a little worried because her opponent today has a lot more passion for pro wrestling than she does. Mirai watches a lot of famous wrestling matches and copies what she sees. Kamifuku doesn’t want to be a parody so she put more effort into her entire package today so she would win as herself instead of an imitation. She thinks it is better to show your attitude than to talk. A shock happens on its own, it is not something you can force.
The Max Hearts Tournament is on the minds of everyone in TJPW. A lot of the results were signs of intent from the women towards winning the whole thing. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh made their message loud and clear with a big victory over NEO Biishiki-gun. No amount of cheating with roses and silver platters could stop them. Yamashita wiped out Sakisama with the Skull Kick while Itoh pinned Mei Saint-Michel with the Flying Big Head, handing Saint-Michel her first loss in TJPW. Even though Itoh ultimately wants to beat Yamashita someday, she sees they make a good team together. Yamashita agrees. It’s a mystery how their styles are so different but still fit each other. Yamashita is also pleased she won a match against Sakisama. She knows she will beat her in a singles match when the time comes.
The Magical Sugar Rabbits are trying out a new move called the Yukacchi Bomb but they haven’t quite figured it out yet. It involves Mizuki doing a Sunset Flip on Yuka Sakazaki and they both land on top of their opponents to pin them. However the move also does damage to Sakazaki which makes her lift her shoulders and weakens the pinning attempt. Still, Mizuki wants to continue working on the move because it is good for them to keep challenging themselves. It’s a good thing that the experiment didn’t cost them the match because Suzume & Arisu Endo threw everything they had at them. Suzume got Mizuki out of the ring for Endo to finish Sakazaki off. But Sakazaki fought back and got the win with the Magical Merry-Go-Round.
Hikari Noa came out of her match wanting to face Nao Kakuta more often. She also wants a singles match against Yuna Manase. Both Mahiro Kiryu & Sena Shiori were disappointed they’re not at a stong enough level yet to show off their growth to Manase. Raku however was at her happiest. She won the match and got to do it in front of her two “older sisters”. Since Manase is working so hard over in Ganbare☆Pro she keeps thinking she has nothing left to do in TJPW. But there’s more to wrestling than big matches so whenever she can use her connections for a TJPW booking, she’ll look forward to being there.
Last time in Korakuen Hall, the team of Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko lost to Moka Miyamoto. Today they got their win back against her. Neko got rid of Marika Kobashi with the Codebreaker leaving Harajuku to get the win with the Pom Do Justice. The pair want to team up for the Max Hearts Tournament with the team name Harunyan.
TJPW will have a show in for a women only audience at Itabashi Green Hall on 4th April. They originally planned to do the concept a year ago but it had to be cancelled because of the pandemic.

7. The Past, Present & Future Of Tokyo Joshi Pro Cross On The Mat!: Miyu Yamashita & Mirai Maiumi defeated Rika Tatsumi & Suzume when Yamashita pinned Suzume with the Attitude Adjustment (10:15).
Tokyo Joshi Pro went back to its roots with a return to mat wrestling matches inside TwinBox AKIHABARA. The venue hosted TJPW’s very first event where three trainees including Miyu Yamashita took part in exhibition matches alongside musical performances from idol groups. Today’s show aired on PPV through OPENREC. It begun with Sayuri Namba hosting a talk segment with Yuka Sakazaki and Yuki Kamifuku. Then there were musical performances with Maki Itoh, Rika Tatsumi and the Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling). In the “crowd” were Hyper Misao and Shin Ultra Shoko waving penlights to the music and cheering the singers on.
The wrestlers gave out comments before the matches. Yamashita worked double duty by being in both the opener and the main event because of some last minute changes. She found it meaningful for her to face the newest TJPW wrestler Arisu Endo in the room where TJPW began. She also brought back her dancing entrance to “Genghis Khan”. Endo Body Slammed Yamashita onto the mat and applied a Camel Clutch. Yamashita powered out of it, put Endo in a Cobra Clutch and pulled her down onto the mat to submit her.
Sena Shiori knew that her match with Misao was really a Handicap Match withShoko also involved. However she still fell for Misao’s trick when she was invited to become a part time superhero only to be attacked with cloak. Shoko passed over a Hyper Ultra Ball but Shiori intercepted it and used it as a weapon herself. Misao was able to recover and win with the Hypami Returns.
Both Itoh and Moka Miyamoto are new to mat wrestling despite the gap in regular wrestling experience between them. Itoh struggled out of the Manjigatame and dropped Miyamoto with a Wrist-Clutch DDT. She then finished her off with a Crab Hold.
Pom Harajuku said she is always at the mercy of The Magical Sugar Rabbits whenever they wrestle so she needed her teamwork with Mahiro Kiryu to be perfect against them. Sakazaki was excited to wrestle on a mat again because that’s a lawless area where you can do anything! They did just that by using the security barrier like a top turnbuckle to do high flying moves off of. Mizuki also used Sakazaki as a stepping stone to do a Flying Cross Body to Kiryu. Sakazaki pinned Harajuku with a Delayed Brainbuster.
Kamifuku noticed that Marika Kobashi’s makeup has been getting darker recently and it makes her look like a demon. She was going to be responsible like an older sister and clean the makeup off of Kobashi’s face. She brought along facewipes and tried to use them but Kobashi fought her off with Chops. Kamifuku removed her own makeup to show her opponent it is okay to show your true appearance but Kobashi still resisted. Kamifuku put her in a Manjigatame and forcefully wiped the makeup off Kobashi’s face, giving her no choice but to give up.
The Up Up Girls called their concert at the start of the show a warm up for their match next. Raku wants everyone to eat sweets which is why she gave Nodoka Tenma a candy necklace when the match began. But it was really a surprise attack to set up the Good Night Express. Tenma would later wrap the candy around her fist to load up her punches. Miu Watanabe used the Giant Swing on Yuki Aino. Raku fought off The Bakuretsu Sisters with the Brain Chop. The match ended when Hikari Noa used her Figur 4 Clutch Hold to pin Haruna Neko. Noa has named the pinning combination the Saigo No Bansan (Last Supper).
Yamashita came back out for the main event. Mirai Maiumi wanted to tag with her to experience the history of TJPW. Tatsumi thought Yamashita was getting carried away by the nostalgia so she wanted to give her a good beating. Yamashita and Tatsumi fought over by the announce table while Maiumi and Suzume kept their wrestling on the mat. Tatsumi missed the Hip Attack and collided with the wall. Miaumi hit her with a Lariat on the rebound. Yamashita countered the Ring A Bell into the Attitude Adjustment on Suzume for the three count.
After the match Yamashita spoke about the first show from 8 years ago. It was just her, KANNA, Chikage Kiba and the referee Daisuke Kiso taking part in matches. Over the years her number of friends increased and she hopes TJPW will continue to grow even bigger.

8. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuka Sakazaki (c) by Referee Stoppage with a Figure 4 Leg Lock (19:22). *Yuka Sakazaki fails in V5. Rika Tatsumi becomes the 8th Princess Of Princess Champion!
The White Dragon seizes the white crown! Rika Tatsumi was the only active wrestler from year one of Tokyo Joshi Pro to have never won the Princess Of Princess Title. Today she finally became the champion by beating the dominant Yuka Sakazaki. The White Dragon Sleeper was countered into a Cradle nearfall that almost led to Tatsumi’s demise. But fortune was on her side when she rolled out of the way of the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro. Sakazaki hurt her legs on the landing so Tatsumi used a series of Dragon Screws to set up a Figure 4 Leg Lock. Sakazaki tried to escape but ended up back in the hold and eventually fainted. Daisuke Kiso ruled the match in favour of Tatsumi, making her the new champion!
When Sakazaki recovered she shook Tatsumi’s hand and hugged her. Tatsumi got on the microphone and talked about all the times she challenged for the title and failed. There is a lot going on in the world but she hopes Tokyo Joshi can be a source of hope for everyone just like it is for her. She wants to defend the belt until the day she dies! Miu Watanabe congratulated her Daydream partner and then challenged her for the title. She grew so much from teaming with Tatsumi. This year she wants to surpass her. Tatsumi is happy that Watanabe is her first challenger and she wants the match to happen on the 11th February Korakuen Hall show. Backstage, Tatsumi repeated her goal to defend the belt until she dies. Except she can’t die because dragons are immortal. She’ll live for 100 years and even if she does end up retiring, it will be as the champion. Even then she will continue defending the belt for a century!
The Bakuretsu Sisters defeated Toyo University Tag in their first Princess Tag Team Titles defence. Yuki Aino blocked Yuki Kamifuku’s Fame Asser and held her up for Nodoka Tenma to complete the Bakuretsu Bulldog. Mahiro Kiryu tried to give Tenma the Spinebuster but it was blocked and turned into a Fall Away Slam. Tenma then hit the Killswitch for the pin. The champions were asked if it is more difficult defending the titles than it was winning them? Tenma wants to keep trying and find new ways to challenge herself. Aino said attacks are the best defence.
Coming up with a new move didn’t change a thing for Maki Itoh’s singles record against Miyu Yamashita. She locked in the Itoh Royal after countering the Crash Rabbit Heat but this time Yamashita kicked out of it. Itoh went for the Itoh Deluxe but Yamashita used Headbutts to avoid the move. Itoh Headbutted her back and got knocked down with a High Kick in return. Itoh gave Yamashita the middle finger when she stood back up so she got knocked out with the Skull Kick. Yamashita stuck out her fist to Itoh after the match. Everyone expected Itoh to stick out her middle finger again but she bumped fists instead. Yamashita said she doesn’t know what will happen this year but she would like to wrestle overseas as soon as possible if it is allowed.
To the surprise of no one, NEO Biishiki-gun continues to look down on their opponents. They had Sena Shiori beaten with the Tarte Tatin but Hikari Noa broke the pin. She tried to turn the match around until Sakisama got rid of her with an Apron PK. Mei Saint-Michel then trapped Shiori in the Saint-Michel submission hold to tap her out. Sakisama called today’s win a beautiful victory. Saint-Michel spoke about the Chinese zodiac and told her master this year is the year of the ox. Sakisama doesn’t care because the world is all about her. Saint-Michel then told her she found a restaurant that specializes in cow meat that they should try. It’s called Yoshinoya! Sakisama never heard of it but requested a reservation right away.
Raku convinced Aja Kong to join in the Goodnight Express. That’s the most important thing to know about this match. But give it up to their opponents, they all tried to step up to Kong. Watanabe attempted the Canadian Backbreaker but couldn’t get her up. Kong grabbed her metal can and hit both Watanabe & Nao Kakuta with it. Mirai Maiumi though blocked Kong’s attack and took her down with a Lariat. Mizuki got rid of Maiumi with a Diving Body Attack to the outside but no one was there to stop Watanabe pinning Raku with the Tear Drop.
One year ago, Shoko Nakajima beat Hyper Misao in a match where the loser had to change their name for one month. Revenge is sweet! In the rematch both women were supposed to be connected together with a red and white rope. That proved to be difficult so they tried to wrestle around it. 100 capsules were attached to the top ropes with 10 of them containing prizes. The first person to find two of the prizes will win. The fight degenerated into a ringside brawl, a tug of war, a kaiju toy fight and then just a scramble to find the capsule prizes. They kept finding empty capsule until they both got one a piece. Nakajima went for the 619 but Misao dodged it and tied up her opponent’s arms and legs with the rope. With Misao unable to move, Misao kept opening the remaining capsules until she finally found her second prize to win the match. Misao will announce Nakajima’s new name at the next show. Nakajima tried to protest the result because the rope kept breaking on them. The result stands. Nakajima hopes her new name will be something like Shin Shoko Nakajima instead of something ridiculous.
Yuna Manase stepped in to replace Marika Kobashi on short notice when Kobashi tested positive for the Coronavirus and was pulled from the show on New Year’s Day. Manase was able to take charge and win the match for her and Moka Miyamoto. After her time away, Manase did notice some growth from her opponents. She understands Pom Harajuku has come up with new ways to sneak her kicks on opponents. And Haruna Neko is on the offensive more than ever. Miyamoto was happy to be on the winning side at the start of the year. She will use this as motivation to win her first match by herself.
The debut match for Arisu Endo saw her put Suzume in a Camel Clutch. Suzume used the ropes to give Endo a Facebuster and then hit the Ring A Bell for the victory. Endo said she was nervous before the match but once she stood in the ring she enjoyed being there. She repeated her goal to become energetic and strong like Reika Saiki.
This was just going to be a list to tweet out but by the time they revealed the complete results I figured it would make a good blog post too. Tokyo Joshi Pro asked their Twitter followers to vote for the best TJPW matches of 2020. Each voter was allowed pick three matches in order from 1st to 3rd. 85 matches were nominated out of over 150 votes. The top listed matches will be included in the “BEST OF TJPW 2020” DVD being released later this year. A few matches were tied in the same spot with the same number of votes.

Looks like Miyu Yamashita Vs Maki Itoh at Korakuen Hall has reason to go ahead. Yamashita had been saying if she got an overwhelming victory today then there would be no Korakuen rematch. Instead the final seconds of the match had Itoh in control. She countered the Crash Rabbit Heat into a Half Crab then fought for a full Boston Crab until the time expired. Itoh got angry because she thinks Yamashita is making a fool out of her. She promised she will surpass Yamashita on 4th January. Yamashita said a draw for her is the same as losing. She will achieve complete victory over Itoh at Korakuen.
Pom Harajuku left a pile of Christmas items on the floor outside the ring for Yuka Sakazaki to slip on while chasing her. She was almost able to last the full ten minutes against the champion but Sakazaki won out with the Magical Magical Girl Splash.
Team Toyo University got a direct win over one half of the Princess Tag Team Champions with Yuki Kamifuku pinning Yuki Aino. Kamifuku wrapped her International Princess Title over her shoulder and said she is going to add one more soon.
