TOKYO JOSHI PRO/GANBARE☆JOSHI “SHUFFLE DATE 2024”, 22/03/2024
Tokyo Ueno Park Outdoor Stage
137 Fans
1. Mahiro Kiryu & Haru Kazashiro defeated Toga & Chika Nanase when Kiryu pinned Nanase with the Spinebuster (9:21).
2. Rika Tatsumi, Runa Okubo & Uta Takami defeated Moka Miyamoto, Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer when Tatsumi pinned Summer with the Twist Of Fate (12:43).
3. HARUKAZE & Kaya Toribami defeated Raku & Shino Suzuki when HARUKAZE pinned Suzuki with the Kaze no Spear (10:10).
4. Yuki Kamifuku & YuuRI defeated HIMAWARI & Riara when Kamifuku pinned Riara with the Famouser (10:45).
5. Yuna Manase & Nao Kakuta defeated Shoko Nakajima & Yoshiko Hasegawa when Manase pinned Hasegawa with the Suzuki Dynamic (13:33).
It was a nice Friday evening when Tokyo Joshi Pro and Ganbare☆Joshi decided to go on a date to Ueno Park together. Three of the matches were tag bouts mixing together wrestlers from the two promotions. The main event was the last chance Nao Kakuta and Yoshiko Hasegawa had to be in the ring against each other. The last time they fought each other Hasegawa turned down Kakuta’s handshake. Since Kakuta is retiring soon she offered her a handshake again and this time Hasegawa accepted it. Kakuta was also happy to team with Yuna Manase again and purposely wore purple to match with her. Shoko Nakajima has heard that fans think she and Hasegawa look similar so she was happy to team up and see for herself. Hasegawa said even though she is leaving CyberFight soon, she is looking forward to wrestling with Nakajima again someday in the future. She wants to become good enough that TJPW will want to book her more often.
Riara got to team with HIMAWARI because the two of them debuted in the same year. Riara made her hair into twintails for the first time in her life to match with her tag partner. She isn’t reaching Yuki Kamifuku’s standards just yet though. Kamifuku heard Riara is a charismatic hostess but thought she acted more like a girl at the snack bar. However she understands Riara will continue to evolve from here. She will also support YuuRI as long as she doesn’t arrive late like she did today. If Kamifuku ever sees YuuRI tweet about being late again, she’s going to block her.
The show concept gave TJPW the rare chance to have two masked wrestlers team up with each other. HARUKAZE was happy not only to team with Kaya Toribami but also wrestle two idols. After discovering first hand that Raku & Shino Suzuki are also strong as well as cute she is now a fan of The Up Up Girls. That’s good news for Suzuki. She thought HARUKAZE would not become a fan based on how hard she hit her with the Spear.

Shinjuku FACE
??? Fans
1. HIMAWARI & Haru Kazashiro defeated Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami when HIMAWARI submitted Takami with a Half Crab Hold (9:57).

This was an event mixing an Up Up Girls concert with a Tokyo Joshi Pro show.

At the end of the show all of the wrestlers joined in to dance with them in the ring and on the stage.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 SPRING”, 16/03/2024
Yokohama Radiant Hall
277 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House
1. Kaya Toribami defeated Kira Summer with the Bird Cage (6:41).
2. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Mahiro Kiryu and Uta Takami when Tatsumi submitted Takami with the Dragon Sleeper (10:42).
3. Wakana Uehara & Toga defeated Haru Kazashiro & Runa Okubo when Uehara submitted Okubo with the Sleeper Hold (10:25).
4. Maki Itoh & Shino Suzuki defeated Moka Miyamoto & Chika Nanase when Itoh submitted Nanase with the Itoh Punish (8:30).
5. Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & HIMAWARI when Aino pinned Suzume with the UBV (13:43).
6. Miyu Yamashita, Mizuki & Shoko Nakajima defeated Miu Watanabe, Yuki Kamifuku & Nao Kakuta when Yamashita pinned Kakuta with the Skull Kick (15:42).
Today was the last preview matches for some of the upcoming title matches at “GRAND PRINCESS ’24” on 31st March. Miyu Yamashita picked up the win for her team in the main event. She hyped up the big show with Mizuki & Shoko Nakajima afterward. Mizuki said she is really, really happy to team up with Yuka Sakazaki again. She always knew to be careful around Emi Sakura but now she has to be careful of Chris Brookes too. Nakajima said working with large monsters like Aja Kong & Max The Impaler is a dream for a special effects otaku like her. Backstage Yamashita said Miu Watanabe is very strong but she isn’t going to lose to her. She and Nakajima also wished Mizuki a happy birthday. Mizuki and Nakajima then wished Yamashita a happy birthday because that is happening tomorrow.
The way the main event ended made it finally hit home for Nao Kakuta that she will be retiring soon. It is her first match since that announcement and she took the losing fall. All that did though was fire her up for her final months in wrestling. Yuki Kamifuku said she’s had a long morning because her father gave her a lift to the station, made a mistake while driving and got stopped. It reminded Kamifuku that even the slightest mistake can be fatal so she should live her life with the utmost care. Watanabe is familiar with the power of Yamashita’s kicks by now but she knows there is more to her opponent than just that. The way things stand now, Yamashita can see everything Watanabe has to offer but not vice versa.
There was an interview that Ryo Mizunami had on Shukan Puroresu’s website this week about her time in Tokyo Joshi Pro so far. One of the things she brought up is how her and Yuki Aino’s recent tag team success comes from their individual strength rather than their teamwork. An example was on show here when Aino was able to beat Suzume by herself. She had Raku & Pom Harajuku here today for support but when Sumo Hall comes around Yukiniki will be in perfect condition against Daisy Monkey! But things have changed for Daisy Monkey too. Arisu Endo said in the past a lost like this would probably make them cry but they aren’t crying anymore. HIMAWARI is also keeping herself motivated because she wants to do her best for Ami Yumoto’s debut match.
Maki Itoh returned to Japan carrying her newly won GCW Extreme Title with her. She will be fighting Minoru Suzuki at Sumo Hall but today she was teaming with Shino Suzuki. The two are not related and Itoh was disappointed with how plain Shino’s post-match comments were backstage compared to Minoru’s. So Itoh sent a message to Minoru by putting Shino in the Sleeper Hold! She promised she is going to be a woman Minoru Suzuki will never forget!
Now that Runa Okubo is back from her high school entrance exams, she got to see first hand how much all of her wrestling classmates have progressed while she was gone. She is getting a little anxious over seeing how much Haru Kazashiro is getting better than her. But even though she was gone for two months, Kazashiro thinks Okubo is as strong as ever. The two agreed to graduate from junior high and work hard together at Sumo Hall.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 SPRING”, 10/03/2024
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall
206 Fans – No Vacancy
1. Toga defeated Chika Nanase with the Rock Bottom (4:18).
2. Yuki Aino defeated Kira Summer with the Full Nelson Of Love And Flame (5:15).
3. Mizuki defeated Uta Takami with the Face Lock (6:00).
4. Mahiro Kiryu & HIMAWARI defeated Nao Kakuta & Haru Kazashiro when HIMAWARI submitted Kazashiro with the Half Crab Hold (11:07).
5. Irregular Tag Match: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Raku, Pom Harajuku & Shino Suzuki when Watanabe pinned Suzuki with the Tear Drop (14:57).
6. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Wakana Uehara with the Famouser (9:05).
7. Shoko Nakajima, Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Miyu Yamashita, Moka Miyamoto & Kaya Toribami when Suzume pinned Toribami with the Ring A Bell (17:09).
Daisy Monkey are feeling good after teaming with Shoko Nakajima to win today’s main event. Nakajima hit Miyu Yamashita with a Topé Suicida, Arisu Endo took out Moka Miyamoto with the Tsuruga Castle and Suzume pinned Kaya Toribami with the Ring A Bell. Nakajima joked that Daisy Monkey acts like a pair of cute juniors but she knows how strong they have both become. It’s enough to make her feel jealous of them. However she now has to put her focus on beating Aja Kong & Max The Impaler in Sumo Hall at the end of the month.
At the last minute Hyper Misao pulled out of the show because of lower back pain problems. Her removal turned Match #5 into a 3 Vs 2 Handicap Match with Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Shino Suzuki taking on Raku & Pom Harajuku. But before it began Harajuku complained about the other team having an unfair advantage because they had a much higher amount of ability combined compared to herself and Raku. Tatsumi agreed and literally threw Suzuki over to their side of the ring so the match turned into Daydream against Raku, Harajuku & Suzuki. It briefly became a 3 Vs 1 fight when they fought out of the ring and Tatsumi was locked outside of the room. Tatsumi found a way to break back into the room by moving two of the sliding walls apart. She then took care of Raku & Harajuku so Watanabe could beat Suzuki by herself.
The three new rookies were all given a singles match challenge for the early half of the show. Uta Takami, Kira Summer and Chika Nanase all lost but the matches were put together to help get them prepared for the “GRAND PRINCESS ’24” opening bout.

10. Princess Tag Team Titles: Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino (c) Vs Suzume & Arisu Endo
11. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Miu Watanabe
Eleven matches make up the big Sumo Hall show at the end of the month. One of the big additions to the card is a match that mixes together Tokyo Joshi Pro with DDT, Gatoh Move and AEW all into one potentially massive chaotic blur. Mizuki gets to breath a sigh of relief because she gets to reunite with Yuka Sakazaki and bring back The Magical Sugar Rabbits after all. Facing them is the wild card pairing of Emi Sakura & Chris Brookes! Oddly enough it will be the first time both Sakura & Brookes are wrestling on a TJPW show despite previously being in the ring with TJPW wrestlers elsewhere. Or also in Brookes’ case doing commentary on the shows themselves.
Rika Tatsumi gets a big international singles match with Masha Slamovich. For Slamovich it’s another chance for her to leave her stamp in TJPW after matches with Miyu Yamashita and Max The Impaler back in January. Tatsumi is going to be the third high level opponent in a row for her.
This could probably be the last time Shinken Kusho get to tag together. Juria Nagano will be graduating from TJPW a few weeks later. Moka Miyamoto has been gradually climbing her way up the ladder too so far this year. Their match here looks to me like it will be a showcase for the two of them rather than their opponents Wakana Uehara & Toga.
The animals are all joining forces and it will be up to Raku & Pom Harajuku to save humanity! Or something like that. The last time Andreza Giant Panda was in TJPW he teamed with Haruna Neko. One year later Neko will still be there but she isn’t cleared to wrestle yet. So she’ll hang around ringside while Kaya Toribami fights alongside the panda.
It was already announced that the debuting Ami Yumoto will team with Nao Kakuta. We now know their opponents will be Mahiro Kiryu & HIMAWARI.
Welcome to joshi wrestling where in a match featuring six people the two teenagers are among the most experienced of the bunch. The show opens with three members of the 2023 Class against the three members of the 2024 Class.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 SPRING”, 03/03/2024
Shinjuku FACE
370 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Kira Summer Debut Match: Arisu Endo & Chika Nanase defeated Nao Kakuta & Kira Summer when Endo submitted Summer with the Camel Clutch (8:07).
2. Uta Takami Debut Match: Raku & Shino Suzuki defeated Miu Watanabe & Uta Takami when Raku submitted Takami with the Front Neck Lock (9:21).
3. 3 Way Match: Suzume defeated Mahiro Kiryu and Kaya Toribami when Suzume pinned Toribami with the Ring A Bell (8:49).
4. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Pom Harajuku when Misao pinned Harajuku with the Hypami Returns (12:04).
5. Rika Tatsumi defeated Haru Kazashiro with the Twist Of Fate (8:53).
6. Miyu Yamashita & Moka Miyamoto defeated Wakana Uehara & Toga when Yamashita pinned Toga with the Attitude Adjustment (12:08).
7. Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino defeated Mizuki & HIMAWARI when Aino pinned HIMAWARI with the Venus DDT (15:58).
The main event was a chance for Yukiniki to deliver their sharpest performance as a tag team so far. Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino came up with a lot of team work to win. They used a Double STO to get rid of Mizuki and then focused on isolating HIMAWARI. It ended with Aino pinning her with the Venus DDT. Afterwards Mizunami said today was their last warm up match as a team before they defend the Princess Tag Team Titles at Sumo Hall on 31st March. Another reason for her excitement is because today is Hinamatsuri Day! Aino said they are going to keep on burning all the way to Sumo Hall.
This week is the one year anniversary of Toga’s debut match against Miyu Yamashita so they were opponents again for a tag match today. She was able to rope break out of the Modified Cobra Clutch and knock down Yamashita with the Elbow Butt. But Yamashita stunned her with a High Kick and won with the Attitude Adjustment. Even though she lost and took the fall, Toga thinks she showed a little bit of growth against Yamashita compared to her debut.
Haru Kazashiro is also approaching the first anniversary of her own debut. She was given a first time singles match against Rika Tatsumi and understood the importance of getting to fight a former champion one on one. She fought off a Figure 4 Leg Lock attempt and used the Rolling Leg Clutch to get a nearfall. Tatsumi cut off her momentum with the Hip Attack followed by the Twist Of Fate for the win. Backstage she said it was weird that the fans were chanting “Haru” instead of “Rika”. She hopes fans will chant “Rika” next time.
One of the big matches at Sumo Hall is Kyoraku Kyomei taking on Aja Kong & Max The Impaler. As part of their preparations for the match, Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao wanted Pom Harajuku to reveal to them Max’s weaknesses. She promised to whisper it into their ears so nobody else could here it. Instead she screeched as loud as she could into their ears.
There were two debuts on today’s show. Uta Takami from The Up Up Girls was one of them. Her match was a tag bout involving the other currently active members of the group. She showed a little bit of agility trying to avoid Raku but was eventually caught in the Front Neck Lock, leading to her giving up. Raku said the match was also an important one for Shino Suzuki because it was a chance for her to show how strong she has become too. Miu Watanabe congratulated Takami for a successful debut. When asked what kind of wrestler she wants to be, Takami said she doesn’t know because there is not a lot she can do right now. But she will do her best and give it her all so she can eventually do everything!
The other debut was for TJPW’s first ever foreign wrestler coming out of their training system. Kira Summer is from Australia. She showed power by giving Chika Nanase a Body Slam that Nanase later claimed felt like all her internal organs were about to burst out of her body. However Summer found herself in danger against Arisu Endo with no help for her thanks to Nanase Shoulder Blocking Nao Kakuta out of the way. Endo picked up the win after making Summer submit to the Camel Clutch. Summer thought she was ready but admits her opponents were surprisingly difficult. She’ll need to practice more to face them properly.
At the start of the show it was announced that Yuka Sakazaki will make a special one-off appearance at “GRAND PRINCESS ’24”! I’m just as puzzled at this news as you are. She is being advertised on the show as an AEW wrestler but the weird thing is she hasn’t appeared in AEW, ROH or anywhere else since graduating from Tokyo Joshi Pro last December. When Mizuki heard the news she said she is looking forward to reuniting The Magical Sugar Rabbits again. However she was then told by a reporter that Sakazaki’s match has not been announced yet. Mizuki told the reporter not to say scary things like that. She is now anxiously awaiting for the full card announcement to find out if she and Sakazaki will be together in the ring again.
The former AKB48 idol Ami Yumoto introduced herself to the fans at the beginning of the show. She will have her debut match at Sumo Hall but today is in fact the first time she’s attending a TJPW show. It was also the first time she got to see her upcoming tag partner Nao Kakuta wrestle in person.
Yuki Kamifuku is getting a homecoming show at Shonandai Cultural Center in Fujisawa City on 25th May.
Runa Okubo was at the show. She announced she had passed her high school entrance exams and was accepted into her first choice of school. She will return to wrestle in TJPW again starting from 16th March. Her first priority is to catch up to Haru Kazashiro’s level.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “BEAT POWER ’24”, 24/02/2024
Osaka Edion Arena #2
349 Fans
1. Chika Nanase Debut Match: Moka Miyamoto defeated Chika Nanase with the Rashomon (4:39).
2. 3 Way Match: Yuki Kamifuku defeated Pom Harajuku and Haru Kazashiro when Kamifuku pinned Kazashiro with the Famouser (6:44).
3. Juria Nagano defeated Kaya Toribami with the Senpukyaku (7:23).
4. Maki Itoh & Raku defeated Mahiro Kiryu & Shino Suzuki when Itoh submitted Suzuki with the Itoh Deluxe (13:00).
5. Bite Into The Sour And Sweet And Never Miss An Opportunity Rules: Hyper Misao defeated Nao Kakuta with a Gedo Clutch (10:01).
6. Shoko Nakajima, Rika Tatsumi & Mizuki defeated Wakana Uehara, HIMAWARI & Toga when Mizuki pinned Uehara with the Diving Foot Stomp (13:54).
7. Miyu Yamashita, Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino Vs Miu Watanabe, Suzume & Arisu Endo ended in a Time Limit Draw (20:00).
The main event was a preview for two of the big title matches being held at “GRAND PRINCESS ’24”. It ended without a winner since the match lasted the entirety of the 20 minute time limit. The champion team were in trouble heading into the late end of the bout. Miu Watanabe held Miyu Yamashita in the Canadian Backbreaker and Arisu Endo hit Ryo Mizunami with the Mt. Bandai. However Yuki Aino blocked Suzume’s Ring A Bell and placed her in the Full Nelson Of Love And Flame instead. She tried to finish her off with the Venus DDT but Suzume fought her off until the bell rang for the finish. Aino didn’t expect Suzume to be so persistent but it made her look forward to the Sumo Hall tag match even more. Mizunami wanted to beat Daisy Monkey quickly so they can move on to Sumo Hall. Both Suzume & Endo told Yukiniki they will not lose. Neither will Yamashita, she said she is going to use all of her power to beat Watanabe.
The match between Hyper Misao and Nao Kakuta had a special rule attached to it. Whenever one of them reached for a rope break they would have to drink a glass of undiluted lemon juice within a time limit or be disqualified. The same rules were used two years ago during the last time Misao and Kakuta wrestled each other in a singles match. Kakuta won that match but Misao claims that since then she has learned about the depth of life by seperating the sweet and the sour. She proved it by beating Kakuta to avenge the loss from two years ago.
Maki Itoh picked up the win in her return to action. She told the fans she didn’t have much to do during her seven week break and if it wasn’t for pro wrestling she would be as good as dead. Today she feels alive again! She was so excited she only got one hour of sleep last night. Raku made up for it by getting 10 hours of sleep which is the perfect combined amount for two people.
For her last match in Osaka, Juria Nagano got her hand raised by beating Kaya Toribami. It just so happens to be her first ever singles match victory too! It’s been her goal since last year to win a singles match so she thinks all the hard word and strategy paid off. She is also happy she got to wrestle Toribami because she always got advice from her whenever they trained together.
The debut of Chika Nanase saw her lose to Moka Miyamoto by submission. She struggled to break past Miyamoto’s defence so only got to show off Elbow Strikes and Shoulder Blocks. Her big mistake came from trying to use a Body Slam but she was unable to lift Miyamoto with it. Miyamoto then turned things around and submitted Nanase with the Rashomon. Nanase described wrestling a real match feels different than being in a training match. She could clearly see the fans in the crowd supporting her and motivated her. She wants to grow into a pro wrestler who can make everyone smile.
At the start of the show it was announced that Yamashita will be going on another American tour in April after Tokyo Joshi Pro’s USA show happens on 5th April. The excursion will go on for over two months and her first match back in Japan will be on 15th June. She hopes to defend the Princess Of Princess Title against Watanabe at “GRAND PRINCESS ’24” so she can bring the belt with her and defend it across many different promotions in America.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “THE 4TH “FUTARI WA PRINCESS” MAX HEART TOURNAMENT”, 10/02/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
674 Fans
1. Haru Kazashiro defeated Shino Suzuki with a Rotating Leg Fold (7:31).
2. Yuki Kamifuku, Nao Kakuta & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Raku, Pom Harajuku & Ram Kaichow when Kamifuku pinned Harajuku with the Famouser (11:46).
3. Kaya Toribami defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Sento Choryu (7:31).
4. Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Wakana Uehara & HIMAWARI when Misao submitted HIMAWARI with the Chickenwing Face Lock (11:34).
5. Mizuki defeated Zara Zakher with the Cutie Special (8:40).
6. Ryo Mizunami & Yuki Aino defeated Miyu Yamashita & Toga when Aino submitted Toga with the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire (12:35).
7. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) defeated Juria Nagano with the Finally (11:41).
*V1 for Yuki Arai.
8. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe when Suzume pinned Tatsumi with the Ring A Bell (19:37).
All the hard work and struggles along the way has paid off for Daisy Monkey because they are the winners of this year’s Max Heart Tournament! It only took them having to beat Daydream for the first time ever to do it. It took them all they had to win. Arisu Endo used her new Argentine Neckbreaker Drop on Miu Watanabe but was then hit with Rika Tatsumi’s Hip Attack. Suzume tried to stop Tatsumi’s momentum but for a while it looked like it wouldn’t happen. But then she dodged the Hip Attack and suddenly hit the Ring A Bell on Tatsumi for the victory!
After Daisy Monkey received their trophies, they called out Yukiniki and challenged them for the Princess Tag Team Titles. The champions were happy to oblige and Yuki Aino told them the match should happen in Sumo Hall! The title match will go ahead at “GRAND PRINCESS ’24” on 31st March. Ryo Mizunami told Daisy Monkey she will be waiting for them there. Endo said she may have lost to Yukiniki the last time she and Suzume fought for the Tag Titles but they definitely won’t lose this time! Suzume said it was everyone’s support that took them this far.
Meanwhile Daydream tried to come to terms with losing the match backstage. Tatsumi called the result a nightmare and apologized for taking the fall. Watanabe is already competing for the Princess Of Princess Title at “GRAND PRINCESS ’24” but revealed she was prepared to do two title matches on the same day if Daydream won this tournament so Tatsumi could win a championship too. Tatsumi asked if she could have the Princess Title shot instead but Watanabe declined to give it to her. Tatsumi begged and then choked Watanabe until she calmed down and left the room. Watanabe felt the need to ask the reporters why does nobody ever try to stop Tatsumi from strangling people?
That’s the first successful International Princess Title for Yuki Arai out of the way. This was Juria Nagano’s only chance at fighting for the championship since she will be graduating from Tokyo Joshi Pro in April. She blocked the Finally and used her Karate offence to set up her finisher. She also used a Shihonage throw that Moka Miyamoto taught her. But Arai cut her off from using the Senpukyaku by hitting her with a Big Boot. Arai then hit the Full Nelson Buster followed by the Finally to win. Arai thanked Nagano for the challenge afterwards. She said it was a match that made her feel really strong.
Arai’s next opponent then made herself known. Yuki Kamifuku entered the ring and praised Arai for working really hard in both TJPW and the idol industry. That balancing act includes a lot of travelling back and forth between Nagoya and Tokyo. Kamifuku also said she likes finding ways to make TJPW more exciting. One way to do that is by having two women who value their looks fight each other for a championship. In other words, Kamifuku wants a title shot and wants it at Sumo Hall! Arai can draw in her fans from Nagoya while Kamifuku can bring over her fans in Fujisawa City. It is also a chance for Kamifuku to become a Double Crown Champion since she currently holds the Queen Of Asia Title.
Before Yukiniki could go watch the Max Heart final, they had a non-title match to deal with. Miyu Yamashita & Toga were eliminated in the 1st Round but wanted to keep teaming and a chance to fight the Princess Tag Champions together is just what they wanted. The match was also the first time Yamashita and Mizunami were in the ring together. However the result came down to Aino in her new costume submitting Toga with the Full Nelson Of Love And Fire.
The TJPW debut of American wrestler Zara Zakher put her against one of the best around. Mizuki found out right away just how powerful Zakher can be despite her small size. She used a Screw Bomb move called the Control Z as well as a Lariat for nearfalls. But Mizuki took those shots and fired back, hitting Diving Foot Stomps until she got the three count with the Cutie Special. Mizuki admitted the win is a huge relief for her because she never expected Zakher to be so powerful with only just a year of pro wrestling experience. Zakher thanked TJPW for inviting her over and she is sure she will see them again soon.
Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao were given a tag match against Wakana Uehara & HIMAWARI, two wrestlers who debuted on the same day back at last year’s Ittenyon show. While that’s nice and all, Kyoraku Kyomei used the match as a chance to stretch their opponents apart. The less experience pair had a moment where things went their way but it turned around badly for them and HIMAWARI had to submit to Misao.
In perhaps a little bit of an upset Kaya Toribami defeated Moka Miyamoto, busting out a new and improved finisher to win. Previously she’s been using a Twisting Senton from the middle rope. Today she did a Half-Twisted Lionsault to pin Miyamoto for the 3 count. The move is called the Sento Choryu.
Valentine’s Day is coming up so it was time for Raku & Ram Kaichow to go on a date. Pom Harajuku was there too as the third wheel. Their opponents though were here to take the match seriously. Nao Kakuta avoided Kaichow’s Rainmaker, Kamifuku was too tall to get Eye Poked and Mahiro Kiryu apologized the way only she knows how. The match ended with Kamifuku pinning Harajuku with the Famouser. At least Kaichow still had a box of chocolates to eat afterwards.
The opening match was put together to guarantee that either Shino Suzuki or Haru Kazashiro would earn their first ever singles win. Suzuki relied too much on using a Sleeper Hold. Kazashiro eventually figured out a way to escape it and pin Suzuki with a Rotating Leg Fold. The two hugged after the match but their emotions afterwards were far apart. Kazashiro is sure that Runa Okubo was at home watching the match. Her next goal is to beat her for the first time! Suzuki was betting she would win today and now feels embarrassed to ever think that. She wonders if she’s been naive about everything up until now. She doesn’t want to lose whether it is against her classmates or her seniors.
Last year’s Hyper Misao produced show “HYPE!” is getting a sequel! “HYPE! 2” will take place in Kitazawa Town Hall on 19th April.
Two of TJPW’s current trainees are going to make their debuts soon. Kirra from Australia and Uta from The Up Up Girls will have their first matches in Shinjuku FACE on 3rd March.

1. Yuki Aino, Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Miyu Yamashita, Kaya Toribami & Toga when Aino pinned Toga with the Venus DDT (11:27).
2. 3 Way Match: Moka Miyamoto defeated HIMAWARI and Haru Kazashiro when Miyamoto submited Kazashiro with the Rashomon (7:50).
3. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Suzume pinned Harajuku with the Ring A Bell (10:35).
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Yuki Arai & Wakana Uehara defeated Mizuki & Shino Suzuki when Uehara submitted Suzuki with the Sleeper Hold (12:11).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao when Tatsumi pinned Misao after the Daydream Eternity (20:31).
Before the Max Heart Tournament began Daydream was already considering the possibility of Miu Watanabe wrestling in two championship matches at “GRAND PRINCESS ’24” should they win the tournament. It’s starting to look realistic because Watanabe & Rika Tatsumi have made it to the semi-finals. Their win today ended the hopes Kyoraku Kyomei have of matching last year’s placement in the final. Tatsumi blocked a top rope Frankensteiner from Shoko Nakajima and held on so Watanabe could grab Nakajima and give her a Dragon Sleeper style Giant Swing. Daydream then used the Daydream Eternity on Hyper Misao to win the match. Tatsumi said the match was fought like it was the final. But they got their revenge for Kyoraku Kyomei eliminating them from last year’s tournament. Nakajima is disappointed because Kyoraku Kyomei still haven’t won a championship yet despite all they support they’ve had since the beginning of their team.
The duo meeting Daydream in the semi-finals will be Yuki Arai & Wakana Uehara! They defeated Mizuki & Shino Suzuki, which means they got rid of one of the most decorated Tokyo Joshi Pro wrestlers in the tournament. It was Uehara who got the win by countering Suzuki’s Sleeper Hold with her own and not letting go. Uehara described her time in the ring with Suzuki as a bonus bout from the Next Generation Tournament so she felt like she was fighting in two tournaments at the same time. Arai thinks she is starting to understand Uehara more and vice versa. Mizuki consoled Suzuki backstage and said it is like looking at her old self. They can team up again and help make each other stronger.
Today RakuPom launched the debut voyage of the RakuPom Go. Raku & Pom Harajuku armed themselves with large foam noodles connected together with a rope and used them to trap Daisy Monkey in a single line so they could all move around the ring together like a train. Suzume was able to break out of the trap and tie everyone else together in the rope, Arisu Endo included. Daisy Monkey then regrouped and went ahead to win the match when Suzume gave Harajuku the Ring A Bell. Daisy Monkey will now meet Shinken Kusho in the other semi-final. They have a lot of fondness towards them and are happy to have a match together before Juria Nagano graduates. RakuPom were disappointed to lose despite creating their new express train. They agreed it is still in its experimental phase.
Nao Kakuta had a fever and could not be at the show. Haru Kazashiro was moved to the Moka Miyamoto Vs HIMAWARI match, making it a 3 Way bout.

1. Yuki Aino, Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Shino Suzuki when Watanabe submitted Suzuki with the Canadian Backbreaker (11:44).
2. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Yuki Arai & Wakana Uehara defeated Kaya Toribami & Haru Kazashiro when Arai submitted Kazashiro with the Sasori Gatame (8:32).
3. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Nao Kakuta & HIMAWARI when Raku pinned HIMAWARI with the Doctor Yellow (8:04).
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Moka Miyamoto & Juria Nagano defeated Miyu Yamashita & Toga when Nagano pinned Toga with the Hurricane Kick (13:34).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Misao pinned Kiryu with La Magistral Cradle (15:21).
A message was sent loud and clear by Kyoraku Kyomei, they are determined to win this year’s Max Heart Tournament by any means necessary! Shoko Nakajima told the fans before the main event began that Hyper Misao’s voice was completely gone because of the sore throat she had last week. But it was just a trap to make the Toyo Mates lower their guard when the microphone was handed over to them and Misao’s voice was fine after all. Yuki Kamifuku fought back by giving Nakajima a Superplex and Mahiro Kiryu then got a nearfall on Misao with a Spinebuster/Big Boot combo. But during a scramble Nakajima hit Kiryu with the 619, leaving the coast clear for Misao to pin Kiryu with La Magistral Cradle. Kyoraku Kyomei will move on to face Daydream in Round 2 tomorrow. Nakajima declared that she and Misao will win the tournament and at some point later this year win the Princess Tag Team Titles!
There are a lot of new teams and fresh pairings entering the tournament this year mixing together veterans with rookies. The experiment has mixed results so far. Last year’s co-winner Miyu Yamashita is now already eliminated after her team with Toga lost to Shinken Kusho! Last year’s semi-finalists used the advantage of already having tag team experience to make the pairing of Yamashita & Toga crumble. Moka Miyamoto & Juria Nagano double teamed Yamashita to take her out of the picture and Nagano then got to pick Toga apart to win. The result sends Shinken Kusho straight through to the semi-finals due to the uneven number of teams entering the tournament. Nagano is determined to win it all with Miyamoto before she graduates from Tokyo Joshi Pro in April. Yamashita said she had fun teaming with Toga and would like to do it again.
It is a little odd to see Nao Kakuta enter a tag tournament so soon after deciding to focus on being a singles wrestler due to Hikari Noa’s sudden absence. Well it’s not something to give much more thought about now because Kakuta & HIMAWARI were eliminated by Raku & Pom Harajuku. Kakuta was taken out with a Double Cross-Arm Facecrusher and then Raku beat HIMAWARI with the Doctor Yellow. The team called RakuPom will now face Daisy Monkey tomorrow in Round 2. The winners of that match meet Shinken Kusho in the semi-finals.
One of the fresh pairings that did have a successful debut in today’s opening round was Yuki Arai & Wakana Uehara. Together they were able to beat Kaya Toribami & Haru Kazashiro thanks to Arai submitting Kazashiro with the Scorpion Deathlock. Arai admitted she was nervous because she and Uehara had only teamed together once before but this result gave her confidence. They now have to fight Mizuki & Shino Suzuki on tomorrow’s show. Even though Kazashiro lost, she said she was happy to team up with her favorite bird.
