6. Mizuki, Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Suzume Vs Yuki Arai, Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Moka Miyamoto

It’s not exactly the go home show for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” because Yoshiko Hasegawa’s graduation and the Texas tour will both be happening between now and then. But this show is getting the champions versus challengers multi-woman tag match.

Speaking of Hasegawa’s graduation, her good buddy Riara is showing up to face her inside a Tokyo Joshi Pro ring.

The winners of Wakana Uehara versus Shino Suzuki and Haru Kazashiro versus Ivy Steele will qualify for the Tokyo Princess Cup.

Maki Itoh will be missing the show due to a scheduling conflict. It is not wrestling related, I believe she is appearing at a LinQ concert that day because a member of that group is graduating.

SUPER JAPAN “SANSHIRO TAKAGI 30TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT ~SUPER JAPAN PRO WRESTLING HATAAGE-SEN”, 19/08/2025
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage

1. Special Single Match: TAKA Michinoku Vs MIKAMI

Plans have changed and Sanshiro Takagi has decided to rebrand his 30th Anniversary spin-off brand. Gone is MatchMake & Agent Pro Wrestling and taking its place is Super Japan Pro Wrestling! Takagi wants to imagine what it would be like if the wrestling promotion he helped form in 1997 was named Super Japan instead of Dramatic Dream Team. Part of that vision is getting one of DDT’s other founders MIKAMI to take part in the debut show. He will face the similarly aged TAKA Michinoku in what might be Super Japan’s inaugural match.

Also announced for the show are Kuroshio TOKYO Japan, The Brahman Brothers, Fuminori Abe and Ippanjin Munenori Sawa. Takagi and The Brahmans all want Yuji Nagata to be on the show but he keeps turning them down.

Max The Impaler & Pom Harajuku are going to face the similar mismatched pair of Andreza Giant Panda & Raku!

Shinjuku FACE

1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 2: X Vs X
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 2: X Vs X

Earlier today Rise Shirai brought the eight remaining wrestlers in the Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League together to take part in a draw to determine who faces who in Round 2. The winners of these four matches will qualify for the actual Princess Cup, filling in the four remaining spots. The lottery came up with these four matches:

-. Moka Miyamoto Vs Kaya Toribami
-. Haru Kazashiro Vs Ivy Steele
-. Wakana Uehara Vs Shino Suzuki
-. Pom Harajuku Vs HIMAWARI

It has not been decided yet which matches will take place when. Two will be held at the 5th July show in Yokahama Radiant Hall and the remaining two takes place in Shinjuku FACE on 8th July. The match placements will take the rest of the show cards into consideration. For example maybe Moka Miyamoto will have another match with Suzume in Yokohama to build up their upcoming title match so that would mean Miyamoto’s qualifier against Kaya Toribami would have to take place in Shinjuku.

1. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 1: Wakana Uehara defeated Kira Summer with the Banana Pillow (6:56).
2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 1: Ivy Steele defeated Toga with the Modified Pumphandle Slam (8:33).
3. Yoshiko Hasegawa defeated Uta Takami with the Muffler Hold (7:17).
4. Raku & Shino Suzuki defeated Maki Itoh & Ren Konatsu when Raku pinned Konatsu with the Doctor Yellow (9:03).
5. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami when Suzume pinned Miyamoto with the Ring A Bell (11:49).
6. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Shoko Nakajima & Chika Nanase when Tatsumi submitted Nanase with the Dragon Sleeper (12:33).
7. Mizuki, Hyper Misao, Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuki Arai, Mahiro Kiryu, HIMAWARI, Haru Kazashiro when Harajuku pinned Kazashiro with the Pom de Justice (12:21).

Today was Sayuri Namba’s graduation from Tokyo Joshi Pro. But before her last day with the company was done, Hyper Misao had a request for her in the main event. Misao asked Namba to do her own superhero introduction but it was all so Misao could stick a spray can in her hand and force her to blind the other team with it. Namba was too scared to stop and ended up spraying the can towards everybody. Mizuki & Yuki Aino brought the ring bell and hammer into the ring and held them out for Namba to officially start the match while Misao was pinning Haru Kazashiro. Namba rang the bell and Kazashiro kicked out at two. The match got more serious when Mizuki and Yuki Arai fought each other while HIMAWARI was able to handle what Misao was giving her. Misao blinded Kiryu with the spray and tagged out to Pom Harajuku. She screamed in Mahiro Kiryu’s face and Kiryu told her to shut up afterward. Instead of apologizing, she instead tagged in Kazashiro. The match broke down into all eight wrestlers fighting in the ring. Mizuki’s team got the upper hand with all four of them hitting signature moves on their opponents. Harajuku then gave Kazashiro the Pom de Justice to get the win.

Harajuku had tears of joy because she got to do the post-match winner’s call today. She invited Namba into the ring but Namba said Pom crying is going to make her cry too. Harajuku said she is sad Namba is graduating but she is doing it with a goal for the future and that will motivate Harajuku to push herself towards her own goals. Namba noticed that Harajuku was wearing the costume from her debut match seven years ago. She then talked about starting out in TJPW around the same time as when Harajuku, Kiryu and Haruna Neko were trainees so to her it is like they are all the same age. The time Namba spent in TJPW is a treasure she will cherish forever and she owes it to everyone in the company for making it such a sparkling time. She was gifted with a bouquet by Aino and Raku. Suzume and Kiryu then gave her a commemorative album. Kiryu wanted to wipe the tears away from Namba’s face but used a water-soluble tissue that left bits of paper behind so Aino had to carefully clean them off Namba. Everyone then gathered in the ring around Namba so they could all announce her name together to officially end her career as TJPW’s ring announcer. Nao Kakuta also appeared for Namba’s final group photo.

It’s been over a year since Daydream last teamed up together and they haven’t skipped a beat together. Rika Tatsumi thought it didn’t feel that long since they last teamed up but Miu Watanabe didn’t agree with her. What they do agree on is their chemistry was perfect as always. Tatsumi can see how much Watanabe has evolved away from her while Watanabe knows she can match up to Tatsumi’s needs better than anyone else. Daydream also used the sasumata poles to trap Shoko Nakajima again and Chika Nanase got caught in one this time too. Nakajima expected Daydream to do something unexpected and they exceeded her expectations today. Nanase worked hard to help her but Nakajima thinks she needs Misao with her to beat Daydream. She was asked by a reporter if she will come up with a countermeasure for the sasumata poles and she thinks it would be pointless to do so. Kyoraku Kyomei might bring a hidden weapon of their own or they might do the unthinkable and fight Daydream fair and square.

Suzume scored a clean pin on her upcoming challenger Moka Miyamoto. During their tag match the International Princess Champion countered the Korokan into a Backslide that moved into a low Ring A Bell. She then used a Flying Facecrusher followed by a full power Ring A Bell to score the three count for Daisy Monkey. She was happy to win the match by herself and get revenge for Miyamoto recently pinning her earlier this month. She was even happier to hear Namba announce her as the winner one last time. Miyamoto knows she is lacking a lot of things and said she will analyze them more heading into the title match.

There is a little sheep doll that Ren Konatsu clips to her belt and it caught Raku’s attention. She thinks it matches her outfit better so she took it off Konatsu and used it to power up her lullaby, sending Konatsu to sleep. She then used the doll on Maki Itoh while Shino Suzuki held her in place but the lullaby sent both of them to sleep too. Raku then accidentally turned the doll on herself, resulting on all four wrestlers napping in the ring. Fumirin counted a quadruple pin of everyone but they all woke up and kicked out at two. Raku then threw the doll out of the ring.

Yuki Kamifuku missed the show because of a foot injury. The 3 Way Match she was booked for instead became just Yoshiko Hasegawa against Uta Takami.

Despite a few delays the 1st Round in the Tokyo Princess Cup preliminary league has been completed in time. Today featured the last two matches of the opening round. Ivy Steele comes out of this competition with the biggest upset so far by beating Toga. It took Steele blocking the Rock Bottom and hitting a Snap Enzuigiri to Toga to get out of harm’s way. Steele then used a Spinning Pumphandle Back Drop to get the win. Steele said losing to Toga before prepared her for today and made her work hard for the victory. Toga thought she would win today but realizes that was a bit arrogant of her to think that way. In the other match Wakana Uehara made Kira Summer submit to the Banana Pillow. Uehara doesn’t know who to expect in Round 2 but she wants to beat whoever it is to qualify for the Princess Cup. Summer tried to be more aggressive than usual but it didn’t work this time. She wants to continue getting more aggressive so the next time she will win.

It was announced that TeaDK, the team of Chris Brookes & Emi Sakura will return to TJPW for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” on 21st July. Their opponents are to be determined.

2. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 1: Shino Suzuki defeated Uta Takami with a Belly-To-Belly Suplex (7:34).
3. 12th Tokyo Princess Cup Preliminary League – Round 1: Kaya Toribami defeated Chika Nanase with the Bird Cage (7:31).
4. Moka Miyamoto & HIMAWARI defeated Maki Itoh & Ivy Steele when Miyamoto submitted Steele with the Rashomon (9:35).
5. Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Yuki Aino, Yoshiko Hasegawa & Kira Summer when Nakajima pinned Summer with the Northern Lights Suplex (12:14).
6. Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defeated Rika Tatsumi & Toga when Kamifuku pinned Toga with the Famouser (9:48).
7. Mizuki, Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Miu Watanabe, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Mizuki pinned Harajuku with the Diving Foot Stomp (13:43).

Since Haruna Neko was injured and unable to take part in her own homecoming show, some of the other wrestlers wanted to make her feel part of the main event. Pom Harajuku loudly congratulated her for the hometown show and then led Miu Watanabe & Raku in doing cat-like movements to try and attack the other team. That didn’t work and instead Mizuki pulled off one of Harajuku’s shoes and threw it over to the table Neko was sitting at. Mizuki & Daisy Monkey then brought their opponents over to Neko so she could scratch all of their faces. Harajuku tried to escape the punishment but was caught and given extra scratches. Later Harajuku tried to hit Mizuki with her shoe but missed and knocked out Yukinori Matsui instead. Watanabe held Mizuki in a Head Lock and Harujuku swung her shoe again but Mizuki again dodged it and Watanabe got hit instead. Mizuki grabbed the shoe and threw it away while Suzume & Arisu Endo cleared the ring of their opponents. That left the ring clear for Mizuki to pin Harajuku with the Diving Foot Stomp. Neko joined the winning team to close out the show with them.

Match #5 featured the return of both Hyper Misao and Kira Summer so Misao wanted to fight fair against Summer. However when they shook hands to start the match it ended up being an ambush by Misao’s team. Kyoraku Kyomei then used the ring apron on the outside to wrap up Summer in the corner. The only problem is they also caught their own partner Mahiro Kiryu in the process. When the two wrestlers were freed, Kiryu then suddenly found herself on her own fighting against Summer, Yuki Aino & Yoshiko Hasegawa. She found time to apologise for getting caught in the trap. Misao later blinded Summer with a spray can and wiped out the other two with the I Am A Hero. Shoko Nakajima finished things off by pinning Summer with the Northern Lights Suplex.

Three qualifying matches in the Tokyo Princess Cup preliminary league took place on the undercard. Kaya Toribami defeated Chika Nanase by submission with the Bird Cage. She said she needed to take every opening Nanase gave her in order to win today. Nanase said she needs to develop more attacks and power beyond what her seniors expect from her. Shino Suzuki used a Belly-To-Belly Suplex to beat Uta Takami in a first ever singles meeting between the two. Shino admits she envies Takami for her cheerfulness and natural talent but she was able to beat her today because she worked hard. She’s thankful for Takami being a part of The Up Up Girls because she pushes Suzuki to improve. Takami also shares the same gratitude towards Suzuki. Finally, Haru Kazashiro used the Fisherman Suplex to pin Ren Konatsu. This summer is Kazashiro’s last as a high school student so she wants to grab every chance she can and qualify for the Princess Cup. Konatsu didn’t even expect she would get a chance to qualify because she only debuted this month. She is fired up to try and get her first win by herself but felt the difference in experience between her and Kazashiro, even if it’s only by two years.

Neko got to give a speech during the show and get a ring entrance filled with streamers thrown her way. She thanked everyone for attending the show and explained she wasn’t able to compete because of her knee injury (she would have faced Pom Harajuku in a Princess Cup qualifier today if she could).

2. Chris Brookes & Antonio Honda Vs Munek & Ram Kaichow
3. King Of Square: MAO Vs X
4. BK-G Openweight Title: Mr. Malo (c) Vs X

Another BK-G Openweight Title defence is coming up for Mr. Malo but he won’t know who his challenger is until they show up. In a similar bit, MAO is also going to face a mystery wrestler to prove who is the most square shaped fighter around. I heard rumours that Dr. Cube was spotted somewhere in Japan causing fights in bars over the weekend but it just turned out to be Zack Sabre Jr. in disguise.

We’re going to see what it’s like for Ram Kaichow to fight under the control of Dark King Ueki and Munek. She’s been able to wrestle in other places pretty normally (if what she does can be called normal) ever since they trapped her soul, to the point that until she saw the match announcement she forgot she’s supposed to be on their side. Must be pretty relaxing when you forget you’re supposed to be someone’s prisoner.

6. Mizuki & Suzume (w/ Sayuri Namba) defeated RIKADEVIL & YUKIDEVIL (/w TORIDEVIL) when Mizuki pinned YUKIDEVIL with the Cutie Special (14:23).

In just over one week’s time Sayuri Namba will be graduating from Tokyo Joshi Pro and starting a new chapter of her life in Canada. Before that could happen she got to put together her own special show in order to make some of her dreams come true. But her dreams became under threat when a mystery trio known as BABYDEVIL suddenly emerged promising to crash her show. They weren’t messing because RIKADEVIL was armed with a whip and YUKIDEVIL carried a baseball bat with her. It was up to Mizuki & Suzume to save the day while Namba cheered them on but there was even more trouble caused by TORIDEVIL who was interfering from ringside. The group even got their hands on Namba a couple of times and didn’t hesitate to put her in harm’s way. With BABYDEVIL in complete control, Namba got on the microphone and told everyone she wants to help but she cannot fight pro wrestlers. What she can do though is call out the names of wrestlers with all of her heart to push them forward. With all her might she called out the names of Mizuki and Suzume, giving them the motivation needed to fight back. They caused BABYMETAL to misfire their attacks and hit each other by accident and then wiped them out with Cross Body Blocks. Mizuki then got the pinfall on YUKIDEVIL with the Cutie Special.

Mizuki thanked Namba for all she did to give her team the courage to stand up no matter how scary the situation had gotten. Namba always had the most respect for the wrestlers in TJPW and in return they had the same for her. Suzume said just having Namba around is enough to make her feel safe. She never thought the day would come where they would fight together but she’s happy it happened today. Namba is sure the wrestlers have felt a thousand times more pain than she did today but something about being in the ring today made her feel it even more. With only two more shows left she isn’t going to cry until the end. The moisture coming from her eyes is only sweat.

One of Namba’s dreams was to be a Round Girl one more time so she booked Kazuki Hirata to fight Hideki Sekine in a match that is supposed to have three minute rounds. Sekine ended up choking out Hirata in under 30 seconds. This happened the last time Namba was a Round Girl and she was furious. She told Hirata he hadn’t learned a thing since last time and also told Sekine to read the room. The fight restarted and they purposely paced themselves so a round could end and Namba could do her spot. In the 2nd Round Sekine picked up the Hirata GO! glasses but didn’t understand what they were for so he handed them over to Yukinori Matsui. Namba got angry again, telling Sekine it’s no fun to win normally so he should wear the glasses and dance! Sekine tried but then Namba scolded him for being bad at dancing. Hirata got fed up with Namba’s attitude and decided to side with Sekine and go after her. But Namba ended up slapping everyone to the mat and decided to wear the glasses and dance by herself. The match continued in the background and by the time Namba’s dance had finished, Sekine had again choked out Hirata with a Sleeper Hold.

Namba’s other dream was to announce her high school classmate LEONA for a match so she booked him to take on Antonio Honda. LEONA blocked Gongitsune and hit Honda with one of his own before twisting him over with a Dragon Screw and making him give up to the Figure 4 Leg Lock. After the match LEONA introduced himself to the TJPW audience and explained his history with Namba. He said due to Tatsumi Fujinami being his father and Dradition being a promotion with not a lot of young wrestlers involved, he always felt like he was alone in the pro wrestling industry. So when he found out Namba became a ring announcer in TJPW and another acquaintance of theirs got a job with Shukan Puroresu he was really happy to finally have some friends from his generation working in the same industry. LEONA told Namba that the next time they meet no matter what ring it is in he wants her to call his introduction again.

Part of the show’s selling point was seeing several TJPW wrestlers each take the role of ring announcer for a match while wearing one of Namba’s outfits from over the years. Arisu Endo called Match #1, Namba called Match #2, Raku called Match #3, Pom Harajuku called Match #4, Yuki Arai called Match #5 and Miu Watanabe called the main event. They all got to learn firsthand just how hard Namba’s job is.

6f. Arisu Endo eliminated Yuki Aino by Ring Out (21:20).
7. Last One Standing Final Showdown: Yuki Arai defeated Arisu Endo with the Finally (2:45).

Tokyo Joshi Pro decided to try out something new to determine the No. 1 Contender for the Princess Of Princess Title. They put together an 8-Woman Elimination Tag Match with the extra caveat that the match would continue until only one woman was left standing. So if one team defeated the other and still had more than one wrestler left, they would fight each other until only one remained. Over the top rope rules were also in effect and a lot of the eliminations ended up that way. When Maki Itoh and Yuki Kamifuku both found themselves falling over the ropes and onto the apron, Itoh convinced Kamifuku to play a game of Rock Paper Scissors only to kick her to the floor when her guard was down. Pom Harajuku thought she was given a power boost by Yuki Arai but Miu Watanabe made her give up to the Canadian Backbreaker. Jada Stone was the next elimination when she climbed the top rope and Itoh then knocked her to the floor with a Headbutt. Itoh’s reign of terror was then put to an end when Watanabe & Yuki Aino knocked her off the apron with a Double Shoulder Block. Arisu Endo then pulled off a clutch of double eliminations, first using the Mt. Bandai on Watanabe to bounce her out of the ring and then Super Kicking Aino out of the ring to knock the other team out completely.

However the winning team had two people remaining: Arai and Endo. The match continued as a singles bout between them. Endo fought to put Arai in the Camel Clutch but Arai outmaneuvered her and rolled the move into a Full Nelson Buster. Endo tried her hardest to fight back but Arai stunned her with the Rookie Award and scored the pinfall by using the Finally. After the match Arai called Mizuki down to the ring so she could challenge her for the Princess Title face to face. Mizuki said she has seen Arai show many different emotions ever since her pro wrestling debut. She is happy that Arai is challenging her but warns she will show Arai just how heavy the championship is to carry. The title match will take place at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’25” on 21st July. Arai told the Nagoya fans that she has never main evented a wrestling show in a venue as big as Ota Ward Gymnasium before so she wants as many people in Nagoya to come see the show and support TJPW.

Backstage Arai said she was never this close to getting a Princess Title shot before. The belt has always seemed far away from her but today she got a little bit closer to it which makes her happy. She still has a long way to go but that means Mizuki has a long journey to the big show too. Arai wants to do everything she can until then to convince Mizuki that she has gotten strong enough to win the championship at Ota Ward. She admits it is a lot of pressure to say that out loud but she wants to overcome the challenge. Meanwhile Endo is reaching her wit’s end. Every time she has these crucial moments, Yuki Arai is there to beat her. Today proves that her fate is now tied to Arai. Her message to her is go win the Princess Title because then Endo will come out and challenger her for it!

Shoko Nakajima dealt a big blow to Kaya Toribami’s momentum by pinning her in their final prelim match for their upcoming title bout. She almost caused Toribami to get counted out when she hit her with a 619 while Toribami was standing outside the ring. She was able to get back in at 17 but Nakajima immediately gave her the Northern Lights Suplex for the three count. Toribami said she was beaten to a pulp today and Nakajima showed her just how high the wall is to climb. She thinks her mistake was only seeing Nakajima as a champion and not as her senior. So she will now think about how she can win. Nakajima said that ever since the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Title match was announced she spent a lot of time thinking about Toribami. The positive to that was she got to enjoy wrestling their three prelim matches to the fullest. Her advice to Toribami is to do her best and dream of winning.

The debuting Ren Konatsu got to face her idol Suzume to kick off the show. She showed some agility by doing a leap frog as well as a Diving Somersault but it was the Dropkick that she used most to try and get anything on her opponent. Suzume got her to submit to a Crucifix Headscissors hold called the Hachinosu Eight Knot. She gave the new rookie a hug for her efforts after the match. Konatsu said when the match was over she was so relieved that tears filled her eyes. When she watches the match back she’ll see what she could have done better but in the moment it was fun for her. Her goal at the moment is to wrestle overseas. Suzume was happy because her start in wrestling was very similar. There is somebody in TJPW she wanted to be like and she became a pro wrestler because of it. That kind of admiration and determination are the most important things in life to her so to meet someone who looks up to her and joined TJPW feels like her dream has come true. She still has more goals to achieve so she and Konatsu can pursue their dreams together from now on.
