TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’24”, 16/06/2024
Acros Fukuoka
327 Fans
1. Kaya Toribami defeated Kira Summer with the Bird Cage (5:41).
2. Rika Tatsumi & Toga defeated Mahiro Kiryu & Chika Nanase when Tatsumi submitted Nanase with the Figure 4 Leg Lock (10:19).
3. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Shino Suzuki & Uta Takami when Endo submitted Takami with the Camel Clutch (7:55).
4. Nao Kakuta defeated HIMAWARI with the Shiden Kai (8:51).
5. Mizuki, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro when Mizuki pinned Kazashiro with the Cutie Special (12:04).
6. Miu Watanabe & Moka Miyamoto defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara when Watanabe submitted Uehara with the Reverse Paradox (9:57).
7. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Vert Vixen & LA Taylor when Yamashita pinned Taylor with the Crash Rabbit Heat (13:56).
It was a successful return home for 121000000. The Fukuoka team of Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh faced off against the foreign pairing of Vert Vixen & LA Taylor. It was considered to be a perfect matchup by Yamashita because of how much she and Itoh have been wrestling around the last couple of years. By working together, 121000000 sandwiched the other team together with a combined High Kick and Headbutt attack from opposite sides. Taylor was the legal woman in the match so Yamashita hit her with a short-range Skull Kick and then finished her off with the Crash Rabbit Heat.
Backstage 121000000 talked about the differences with wrestling in Japan and America. Yamashita noticed that Itoh sometimes cheats in GCW but Itoh’s excuse is it’s because she teams with Nick Gage over there. She offered to get Yamashita a matching bandana. Meanwhile Vixen blamed Taylor for losing the match. Taylor defended herself because they are a team and they didn’t lose by herself. They will team again and next time Taylor won’t let Vixen down because they are friends.
Nao Kakuta and HIMAWARI wanted to have a match that only they could do together so Kakuta spent a lot of it grabbing and pulling HIMARWARI’s long hair. It was an effective plan because she kept on pulling at the hair to cut off HIMAWARI’s momentum. This kept going until Kakuta could give her the Shiden Kai to win. Even though that sounds like a dirty way to win, Kakuta and HIMAWARI got along after the match and told reporters backstage how much fun they had during it. The reporter asked HIMAWARI if she would consider getting a haircut. She answered if it ever got cut short she would be like a rabbit without ears or a zebra without stripes.
The show had the latest meeting of the Tokyo Joshi Tokusatsu Club. Tokusatsu fans Shoko Nakajima, Yuki Aino & Haru Kazashiro joined forces and tried to combine into one mighty warrior. They made the mistake of having Kazashiro as the base and she collapsed under the weight of carrying both Nakajima & Aino stacked on her shoulders.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW CITY CIRCUIT ’24”, 15/06/2024

251 Fans – No Vacancy

2. Runa Okubo & Haru Kazashiro defeated Shino Suzuku & Uta Takami when Okubo submitted Takami with a Half Crab Hold (9:03).
3. LA Taylor & Kira Summer defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Toga when Taylor pinned Toga with the Sky High (9:22).
4. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Itoh submitted Harajuku with the Itoh Deluxe (10:47).
5. Rika Tatsumi, Raku & Moka Miyamoto defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & HIMAWARI when Miyamoto pinned HIMAWARI With the Korokan (11:25).
6. Yuna Manase defeated Nao Kakuta with the Short-Range Lariat (8:50).
7. Mizuki, Yuki Aino & Vert Vixen defeated Miu Watanabe, Shoko Nakajima & Kaya Toribami when Vert Vixen pinned Toribami with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (12:41).
It was Mizuki’s homecoming today but the attention was also on Vert Vixen by the end of today’s main event. Mizuki took out Miu Watanabe with the Whirling Candy so Vixen could isolate Kaya Toribami and pin her with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster. After the match she said she was honored to team with Mizuki & Yuki Aino. Mizuki said Watanabe & Shoko Nakajima were crazy in the match and she knew it wouldn’t be easy to turn Toribami into yakitori. The winners decided they will go eat Kobe beef to celebrate.
For the first time in 8 years Nao Kakuta got to wrestle Yuna Manase in a singles match. They were both with Actwres girl’Z at the time but that match in 2016 actually took place in WRESTLE-1. Here Manase blocked the Shiden Kai and got a nearfall with a Sliding Lariat. She told Kakuta she loved her before hitting another Lariat for the win. Kakuta said she made sure she wasn’t going to leave Manase out of her final matches before graduation because she learned so much from her. Manase said it still does not feel real that Kakauta is retiring. She is glad that this cute and gentle girl was able to wrestle for almost 10 years. Kakuta encouraged Manase to get stronger and Manase promised to get strong enough to destroy the ring!
Miyu Yamashita’s first match back in Japan saw her chase Pom Harajuku up to the balcony and then get locked up there so Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu could fight Maki Itoh 2-On-1. Yamashita eventually found an open exit to get back to the ring and rejoin the match. 121000000 then cleared house to get the win. Itoh asked Yamashita why couldn’t she just jump from the balcony back into the ring? Yamashita said that is dangerous and then pointed out Itoh needed her help to win. They now have to be ready to take on Vixen and LA Taylor in their home of Fukuoka tomorrow.
Today really is a happy birthday for Runa Okubo because she won her tag match! She wants to celebrate by going to Harajuku to eat strawberry candy and the 10 Yen shaped cheesy bread. Haru Kazashiro wants to join in so she can eat some yakitori.

Match #4 is important because it is taking place on the same day as Runa Okubo’s 16th birthday! Her team with Haru Kazashiro is currently being called HaruRuna while Shino Suzuku & Uta Takami have been shortened down to ShinoUta.
Both Vert Vixen and LA Taylor have come out of Korakuen Hall without any championships. They can at least try to get some commiseration wins here for their troubles.

A return to Osaka means Tsutenkakka gets to be on DDT shows again. He gets a big match against HARASHIMA to see what he is made of. I mean other than steel because he is already a tower in the body of a pro wrestler.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24”, 20/07/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Special Single Match: Aja Kong Vs Shoko Nakajima
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Rika Tatsumi
TJPW’s big match for the summer is Daydream tearing each other apart for the Princess Of Princess Title! A match like this was always on the horizon and Rika Tatsumi thinks the time is now for it to happen. She wants to be the Princess Champion again even if it means having to take the belt from Miu Watanabe. That scenario happened before last year with the International Princess Title. Watanabe does not want history to repeat itself.
There’s been a couple of times already this year when Shoko Nakajima has been in the ring with Aja Kong. Now they get to fight each other one on one! It is a match both are looking forward too. Nakajima wants to have a wrestling career as long and illustrious as Kong’s, maybe even turn into the modern day equivalent of her. Kong meanwhile is isolating herself in the mountains in order to train for this match. That is how much she sees Nakajima as a threat to her.

Earlier today Chris Brookes was one of several DDT wrestlers who were part of El Desperado’s invitational show (I’ll write a post about the show this evening). Brookes got on the microphone after his match to talk to Desperado who was at the commentary booth. He said they’ve known each other for years now but have never been in a match together. So he challenged him to a match at DDT’s Sumo Hall show next month!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW PRISM ’24”, 09/06/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
707 Fans
1. Suzume & Arisu Endo defeated Runa Okubo & Haru Kazashiro when Suzume pinned Kazashiro with the Ring A Bell (8:34).
2. Chika Nanase defeated Uta Takami with the Inari Dorii (5:12).
3. Nao Kakuta & SAKI defeated Raku & Pom Harajuku when Kakuta pinned Harajuku with the Shiden Kai (8:59).

5. Special Single Match: Hikaru Shida defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Falcon Arrow (9:40).
6. Shoko Nakajima, Mizuki, Rika Tatsumi & Yuki Aino defeated Wakana Uehara, HIMAWARI, Toga & Shino Suzuki when Tatsumi pinned Uehara with the Twist Of Fate (14:51).
7. International Princess Title: Yuki Arai (c) defeated LA Taylor with the Finally (10:09).
*V3 for Yuki Arai.
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Vert Vixen with the Tear Drop (17:17).
*V2 for Miu Watanabe.
Vert Vixen came back to Tokyo Joshi Pro in order to be Miu Watanabe’s second challenger of the Princess Of Princess Title. In the leadup to the match Watanabe unveiled a new submission hold she calls the Reverse Paradox in order to keep her opponent guessing. Maybe it was a mistake to reveal the move too early because Vixen had it scouted today, avoiding the move and being able to rope break out of it once Watanabe got to apply it correctly. Watanabe had to rely on her usual move set which turned out to be the right decision in the end. Her barrage of Laserbeam throws and Double Hammer strikes weakened Vixen enough for the Tear Drop to finish her off.
The two bowed and shook each other’s hands after the match. When Vixen left the ring, Rika Tatsumi entered it to challenger her Daydream partner for the Princess Title! Tatsumi always thought that the match would happen some day but only thinking about it would never make it happen. So she is asking Watanabe directly and didn’t even wait for her to answer. It is happening at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24” in Korakuen Hall on 20th July! Watanabe said she always wanted to defend the title against Tatsumi and she definitely won’t lose to her. She still remembers when Tatsumi won the International Princess Title from her last year. She closed out the show by asking the fans “Do you like Tokyo Joshi Pro?” The fans responded with “We love it!”
Speaking of the International Princess Title, Yuki Arai scored her latest defence of the belt by beating English wrestler LA Taylor. The newcomer to TJPW used her size advantage by doing a Fall Away Slam, Lariats and a Michinoku Driver. Her size also made it difficult for Arai to use the Full Nelson and Sharpshooter but she was eventually able to lock in the hold. She also used a Backslide Pin nearfall to hit Taylor with a short range Rookie Award. Taylor was dazed by the move so Arai hit the Finally next to win the match. Arai said she has held the IP Title for half a year now and while she wants to continue defending it, she is not satisfied with only holding one title. She wants to find out if she can win back the Princess Tag Team Titles again with somebody other than Saki Akai! She would be happy to find a new tag partner who can help her improve. Backstage Taylor said it was a dream come true to have the paper ribbons thrown for her during the match introductions.
Tatsumi led a senpai team to victory against the Class Of 2023 in an 8-Woman Tag Match. Wakana Uehara & HIMAWARI used their High Speed Combined Brainbuster on Tatsumi and Uehara followed up with the BANANA PILLOW submission hold. Tatsumi escaped and hit her with a Hip Attack while Yuki Aino got rid of Shino Suzuki with the Side Suplex. After that Shoko Nakajima & Mizuki hit dives onto everyone out of the ring and Tatsumi pinned Uehara with the Twist Of Fate. Toga said everyone in her team grows after every fight but their senpais are always growing at a rapid rate too so the gap never closes. She hopes they can catch up to them some day while also becoming a wall for the juniors below them.
Moka Miyamoto was given a big match against AEW wrestler Hikaru Shida. She dodged some of Shida’s attacks to hit her with the Zero Sen Kick and also use the Rashomon. Shida reached the ropes and rallied back, hitting Miyamoto with a big Elbow Smash and using the Falcon Arrow to get the three count. Shida said backstage it’s been two years since she was last in TJPW and back then she thought if Miyamoto showed a little more enthusiasm she could become a really good wrestler. She didn’t expect her to grow so much since then and is glad to discover how much of a threat she has turned into. Also next time she gets invited back to TJPW, Shida wants to show everyone a different side of her. Although Miyamoto lost the match she is happy to show her growth and wants to challenge for a championship in the future.
It was an intimidating sight when Aja Kong’s team all showed up in matching face paint. Meanwhile Maki Itoh’s team all entered the ring with matching twintail hairstyles (apparently Itoh forced them to do it). When Mahiro Kiryu got the upper hand against Kira Summer, Kiryu used her Apology Knee Drop to apologise for beating the Aja Kongs of the world so easily. The real Kong didn’t forgive her. Kong also hit Itoh with a steel can but Itoh’s iron head withstood the blow and she Headbutted Kong in return. Kong almost hit Yuki Kamifuku with the can by accident but pulled back at the last moment. Kaya Toribami tried to take advantage of the crossfire but Kamifuku took care of her and won the match with the Famouser. Backstage Itoh, Kiryu & Toribami all complained that they couldn’t tell which opponent was the real Aja Kong.
SAKI was confused to see Raku & Pom Harajuku lie down to sleep in front of her before their match began. She decided to join in but fell for RakuPom’s trap even though Nao Kakuta tried to stop her. Later SAKI used an Atomic Drop on Harajuku and then gave Raku an Atomic Drop. That set Kakuta up to pin Harajuku with the Shiden Kai. Kakuta said she was happy to team up with SAKI in Japan after their plan to do it at the TJPW USA show had to be cancelled. Harajuku complained the Atomic Drop hurts so bad she can’t sit down and feels like she’s been split in two!
In a match where both wrestlers were fighting for their first win, Chika Nanase defeated Uta Takami. She used a Modified Full Nelson called the Inari Dorii to win by submission. It was a move she used once before in an incomplete form but today she debuted the finished version. Nanase is happy to win but wants to aim higher. Takami thought she was going to shine brightly and win today but admits she became a complete mess instead. Losing has only fired her up even more though and she will cherish every day to work hard so she can win next time.
The show began with a non-title match where Daisy Monkey took on Runa Okubo & Haru Kazashiro. The result was no surprise with Arisu Endo taking out Okubo with a Diving Mt. Tsuruga and Suzume pinning Kazashiro with the Ring A Bell. They enjoyed being in the opening match again because it’s like being the first batter in a baseball game. They feel like they are in top form now and are confident they can defend the Princess Tag Titles against anyone.
It was announced that “WRESTLE PRINCESS V” will be held at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall on 22nd September.
Nakajima will be getting a match at “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’24” that she has always wanted. She will have a singles bout against Aja Kong! Nakajima has experienced beatings from Kong before in places like Sumo Hall as well as beneath the cherry blossom trees of Shinjo Village. She believes this match will be meaningless if she cannot use this opportunity to beat Kong! Meanwhile Kong said she will be training alone in the mountains to prepare for the match. If she doesn’t she won’t be able to compete against Nakajima.

*V1 for Daisy Monkey.
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) defeated Shoko Nakajima with the Tear Drop (21:11).
*V1 for Miu Watanabe.
If this really is the start of a new era in Tokyo Joshi Pro then the new champions have shown what they can do when you give them the ball. Miu Watanabe’s first defence of the Princess Of Princess Title was against two-time former champion Shoko Nakajima. The two started off the match with lock-ups leading into Monkey Flips. Nakajima took control with a 619 and then targeted Watanabe’s neck with submission holds and Neckbreakers. She also countered the Giant Swing into the Unmanned Local Train Hold. Watanabe was in trouble when Nakajima landed the Diving Senton on the apron followed by the Northern Lights Suplex for a nearfall. Watanabe stopped her from doing another Diving Senton and quickly put her into the Giant Swing. Nakajima fought back with another Northern Lights Suplex but the Locomotion version was blocked and turned into a Power Slam. The Tear Drop was countered into a Hurricanrana for a two count which turned out to be Nakajima’s last chance to win. Watanabe hit her with a Double Sledgehammer, the Laserbeam and then the Tear Drop for the three count.
Watanabe told the fans how happy she was to fight Nakajima for the title and win because she has now grown as a champion. TJPW is in a new era but that means each and every member of the roster is part of the new era. She wants to defend the title against everyone and do her best to make TJPW grow. She loves wrestling so much and hopes to bring in more fans who love it just as much. Backstage Nakajima said she was disappointed to lose and has no choice but to try again. She put her heart into this match so didn’t hold back from the beginning. Watanabe has not decided on who she wants her next challenger to be. She mentioned Mizuki and Rika Tatsumi because they are former champions but is just as interested in facing somebody she cannot even imagine so it will help her grow even more. If that person ever shows up then Watanabe will welcome her challenge.
Daisy Monkey are now seeing what it’s like on the other side of the fence. It was not that long ago they were the young tag team looking to beat the Princess Tag Team Champions. Now they are the champions defending against the young tag teams! Wakana Uehara put Arisu Endo in her version of the Tringle Lancer called the BANANA PILLOW but Endo escaped it. Instead Daisy Monkey’s level of teamwork was too high for the challengers to overcome. Suzume & Endo dropped HIMAWARI with a Double Team Facebuster. Endo then pinned HIMAWARI with the Ju no Okite. Endo said backstage the challengers were a tougher fight than she expected. Suzume now understands the position they are in as champions. Everyone is going to be chasing after them! TJPW will be returning to Endo’s hometown in September. She absolutely wants to defend the tag titles on that show.
Yuki Arai got to show everyone the spot she has established for herself on the 3rd anniversary of her debut match. She wore a new costume covered in stars and teamed with Yuki Kamifuku to beat Mizuki & Nao Kakuta. Arai even scored the pinfall by hitting Kakuta with the Rookie Award followed by the Finally. Backstage Kamifuku joked that each star on Arai’s costume represents the people she wants to crush in the ring. She then pointed to a star on Arai’s dress and asked if that one is for Miyu Yamashita? Arai denied it and explained when Sanshiro Takagi scouted her for TJPW, he said he was going to make her a star. Sadly for Kakuta she is starting to feel her time is running out. She would like to team with Mizuki at least three more times before her graduation. Mizuki promised the next time they team up they will win.
The mind games on display during the start of Match #5 were something to behold. Raku & Pom Harajuku offered the customary pre-match handshake when Tatsumi & Yuki Aino both collapsed and fell asleep. Rather than attack them, Raku & Harajuku decided to lie down next to them and fell asleep too. Tatsumi & Aino noticed that and tried to pin them but RakuPom kept rolling away until they were outside the ring. They then sprung their own surprise after they were Irish Whipped into each other and swung back around to attack the other two. Raku armed herself with a pillow and attacked Tatsumi with it. Harajuku went to finish Aino off with the Pom de Justice. She missed the move though and Aino put her in the Full Nelson Of Love And Flame to make her give up. Aino enjoyed getting to wrestle Raku & Harajuku who she often teams with. Tatsumi called them a great Love Triangle. She’d like to join in to make it a 4 Way but reckons she is better off being a lone wolf. Aino admits she hangs out with Tatsumi more than the other two anyway but Tatsumi told her to keep that a secret.
Maki Itoh defeated Haru Kazashiro and had some words for her afterward. Just as she expected, Kazashiro is a loser but just by working hard today she will have encouraged some of these fans to do their best at work or in school tomorrow. Itoh thinks there is already someone out there who looks up to Kazashiro the same way Kazashiro looks up to her but if she really wants to become a hero then she should make it her goal to destroy Itoh! Later backstage Itoh said she is really looking forward to their next match together just based on the look in Kazashiro’s eyes during her speech. Kazashiro said she was so scared about today’s match she thought about running away. Itoh was even stronger that she expected but if she gets to fight her again she wants to beat her.
There was another big test given to one of the young rookies when Runa Okubo fought Yuna Manase. Okubo tried to match power with power but eventually lost to the Suzuki Dynamic. Manase was impressed with her and would like to have more matches together because of their similar wrestling style. She also called herself a relative of TJPW and noticed there are more new kids being added to the family. Just for her sake don’t ever call them grandkids. Okubo doesn’t want to use her age as an excuse for losing and trained hard for this match. She has regrets but is ready to keep training after Manase told her they should fight again.
Last month Kaya Toribami helped save America from a kappa invasion and today she continued that momentum by winning another wrestling match! The trios match was also the first time Chika Nanase, Kira Summer and Uta Takami all got to wrestle in Korakuen Hall. Both Mahiro Kiryu and Moka Miyamoto talked about how nervous they must have been before the match.
The opening match marked a big milestone for Shino Suzuki. By beating Toga she has earned her first ever singles win! The result came when Suzuki countered the Rock Bottom into a Backwards Rolling Cradle off of the ropes for the flash pin. She believes she won thanks to the support of everyone around her. With this under her belt she feels she can now catch up to the rest of her class. Toga had already beaten Suzuki twice before so she admits her overconfidence got the better of her. She is looking forward to her next match though and is now determined not to lose.
This past weekend Kamifuku went to wrestle for Vietnam Pro Wrestling and became the company’s first ever women’s champion. She still holds the Queen Of Asia Title so she is now a double crown champion of Southeast Asia! She plans to defend both titles in a singles match on 18th May and her opponent will be the TJPW debut of Alexis Lee! Kamifuku defeated Lee in Vietnam to win the VPW Women’s Title. She also beat Lee in Singapore last November to win the Queen Of Asia Title.
There was a group of special guests for The Up Up Girls mini concert held at the start of the show. The pro wrestling version of the unit were joined by another section of the idol group called Up Up Girls (2). They were there to announce TJPW and The Up Up Girls will be holding an outdoor collaborative show at Ueno Park on 7th July.

Let’s not even pretend where the inspiration for this idea came from. The brand new Marigold joshi promotion is using a jersey number system for their roster (not a new idea from Rossy Ogawa, he used a similar gimmick for Arsion). All of a sudden Tokyo Joshi Pro has come up with new merchandise that is also based on jersey numbers. Fancy that! Almost everyone in TJPW were asked to pick a number for themselves. People noticed Yuki Arai and none of The Up Up Girls were included. I guess that might be them being careful not to step into another idol group’s gimmick. Some of the numbers have deep meanings behind them, others are based on basic trivia about the women and some are just wordplay on their names.
Credit goes to @dweebyllo, @cmvenus_, @deesforta and @nampei1983 on Twitter for all taking the time to gather the names, numbers and explanations. I’m writing this post using all of the info they collected along with what the wrestlers tweeted out themselves.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “YES! WONDERLAND ’24”, 06/05/2024
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1. Toga Vs Shino Suzuki
2. Mahiro Kiryu, Chika Nanase & Kira Summer Vs Moka Miyamoto, Kaya Toribami & Uta Takami
3. Yuna Manase Vs Runa Okubo
4. Maki Itoh Vs Haru Kazashiro
5. Rika Tatsumi & Yuki Aino Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
6. Yuki Arai & Yuki Kamifuku Vs Mizuki & Nao Kakuta
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Suzume & Arisu Endo Vs Wakana Uehara & HIMAWARI
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Miu Watanabe (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima
Last week a contract signing ceremony was held at Abema Towers in Shibuya for the two title matches. Shoko Nakajima said the Sumo Hall show brought along big changes in Tokyo Joshi Pro for both the wrestlers and the fans. She herself had a big change of heart after Kyoraku Kyomei fought Aja Kong & Max The Impaler. She was amazed by everything about Kong from her aura capturing the audience’s attention to the experience of fighting her. It took almost a decade for TJPW to run a show by themselves in Sumo Hall so for the next ten years Nakajima’s dream is to become as great as Aja Kong. In order to become as great and strong as Kong, Nakajima will need to win more championships. As much as she thinks Miu Watanabe is amazing, she wants to win the Princess Of Princess Title from her so she can become even more amazing too.
Watanabe wanted Nakajima to be one of her challengers when she won the belt but she doesn’t want to be naïve about it. Nakajima pinning her in a recent tag match only reminds her how big of a target she has become. Watanabe thinks so highly about Nakajima that she is ranked alongside Oda Nobunaga when asked which historical figures she respects. She remembers when Nakajima won the Princess Title in 2019, the promo video before the match had Nakajima say “hard work is no match for a genius.” Those words shocked Watanabe at the time and have stuck with her ever since. She wants to grow as champion so there is no better first challenger for her than Nakajima. The talk about a new generation taking over TJPW annoys Nakajima. She doesn’t treat wrestling Watanabe as any different from fighting Miyu Yamashita or Yuka Sakazaki. In fact, Nakajima thought the person she spent the most time with in the dojo was Sakazaki but now she realizes it’s with Watanabe!
Daisy Monkey are finding themselves in a role reversal. The first time Suzume & Arisu Endo challenged for the Princess Tag Team Titles together they were the plucky rookie tag team. Now they are the champions who are about to take on another plucky rookie tag team! Wakana Uehara & HIMAWARI debuted in TJPW on the same daya and traded their first wins against each other so they understand each other the best. They even established the Combined High Speed Brainbuster as their tag team move that can win them matches. Uehara is known to have a big appetite so she is going to gobble up Daisy Monkey to win the Tag Titles!
Suzume recounted the many frustrating experiences Daisy Monkey had to go through in order to finally win the Tag Titles at Sumo Hall. She wants to defend the belts with Endo forever. They cannot lose them in their first defence when there are so many strong tag teams out there to fight. She hopes she will become a champion that will encourage fans to work harder and build up the courage to take the next step towards improving themselves. Or that children will see her wrestle and grow up wanting to become a wrestler too. Endo wants to bring her title belt back to her hometown so she can take a picture of herself with it next to the bronze statue of Byakkotai. After that she wants to take the belt around all 47 prefectures in Japan and show it off at all of the famous places they find. She won’t let Uehara & HIMAWARI even take a bite from them!

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW LIVE TOUR 2024 SPRING”, 27/04/2024
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall
223 Fans
1. Mahiro Kiryu defeated Kira Summer with a Crab Hold (5:07).
2. 3 Way Match: Rika Tatsumi defeated Nao Kakuta and Chika Nanase when Tatsumi submitted Nanase with the Dragon Sleeper (10:38).
3. Maki Itoh & Uta Takami defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Toga when Itoh submitted Toga with the Itoh Special (10:06).
4. Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Mizuki & Shino Suzuki when Raku pinned Suzuki with the Doctor Yellow (8:42).
5. Wakana Uehara & HIMAWARI & Runa Okubo defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Haru Kazashiro when HIMAWARI pinned Kazashiro after a Combined High Speed Brainbuster (13:18).
6. Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino defeated Miu Watanabe & Moka Miyamoto when Nakajima pinned Miyamoto with the Diving Senton (16:38).
It isn’t long now until Shoko Nakajima challenges Miu Watanabe for the Princess Of Princess Title during Golden Week. Today Nakajima’s message was load and clear. She hasn’t given anyone permission for the new era to take over Tokyo Joshi Pro yet! She countered Watanabe’s Giant Swing into a cradle and went on to pin Moka Miyamoto with the Diving Senton in the main event. Even Yuki Aino was impressed by her performance today. Nakajima wants to keep this up and be the kind of wrestler who can throw curveballs and fastballs at her unsuspecting opponents.
Wakana Uehara & HIMAWARI were able to show their growing teamwork by using a Combined Brainbuster to win their trios match. They still have time left before they challenge Daisy Monkey for the Princess Tag Team Titles so they would like to focus even more on their teamwork. Runa Okubo wrestled the match with an eye patch because she currently has a stye in her left eye.
When TJPW were preparing for their American shows earlier this month, Miyu Yamashita strongly encouraged them to produce double the amount of the show’s T-shirts expecting them to be in high demand. Unfortunately the extra shirts did not sell and had to go with the crew back to Japan. TJPW are now trying to sell off the extra shirts at their events as well as their online store. They are encouraging fans who bought the shirts to tweet pictures of them with the hashtag #山下ありがとう (“Thank You Yamashita”).

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HYPER MISAO PRODUCE ~ HYPE! 2”, 19/04/2024
Tokyo Kitazawa Town Hall
227 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Aja Kong defeated Raku with the Back Drop (7:44).
Last May Hyper Misao produced her first show called “HYPE!” and it got such a good reception she put together a second one almost a year later. And just like last year Misao was not going to be the hero of today’s story. Instead the show began inside a packed train entering Suidobashi Station. Raku was among the passengers squeezing through the crowd when she suddenly tripped to the ground. When she got back up, a hooded stranger handed her a bag thinking it belonged to her. The stranger disappeared before Raku could correct her and hand the bag back.
Suddenly a voice coming from inside the bag called out to Raku. Inside was a stuffed rabbit toy who was really a Battle Fairy named Shokopple who is searching for a masked idol named Re:. Shokopple believed Raku was Re: using an alter ego to hide in public. Raku didn’t understand so Shokopple explained that Re: is a magical idol who is powered by Entertainment Energy. She is meant to be at a sold out solo concert at the Tokyo Dome today. However 3 days ago Re: suddenly tweeted that she was quitting with immediate effect. The shocking news drove the city into chaos which caused Shokopple to go in search of Re:, which brought her to Raku. Sirens then went off and a commanding voice gave orders for Re: to go solve an incident happening in Shibuya. Shokopple gave Raku no choice but to follow the order.
A gang of Ganguro Gals have been going around Shibuya kidnapping innocent people like Sayuri Namba and transforming them into even more Ganguro Gals! The three Gals named Miupipi, Mokachamu and the newly transformed Bassa danced to “Night Of Fire” and revealed their plan to turn all of humanity into Ganguro Gals! Raku arrived to stop them but was mistaken for someone who was next to join the group. The Gals all surrounded her and Raku was in trouble. Shokopple told Raku there is a mask in her bag that will transform her into a magical hero. Raku grabbed the mask, put it on and transformed into Re:! During the transformation Shokopple also powered up into human form. Together they defeated the Gals in a fight. Afterwards Re: transformed back to Raku and the Gals regained their normal personalities. All were horrified that they had turned Ganguro but Miu seemed to recognise Raku. Before they could talk, the siren went off again and Shokopple dragged Raku off to the next mission.
Deep in the heart of Tokyo there is a host club called $hoot $hin. Shokopple could sense there was something evil about the place but all they could find were the three handsome hosts Kiryuin, Tosuke and Haruki serving female customers in a charming manner. They performed the song “Shuchishin” which made Shokopple notice Entertainment Energy filling the room. Raku was then handed a bill for 32.1 million yen! That was when they realized the host club was just a front for a gambling gang! Raku transformed into Re: for the next fight scene. The hosts tried to use Love Story powers but Re: resisted them and left them in a beaten pile. The hosts were snapped out of their senses and Kiryuin seemed to recognise Raku. But the siren went off again and Raku was gone just as quickly.
Along the way there was a breaking news story on TV. Ace reporter Azusa Takigawa was near the Tokyo Dome where the planned Re: concert was being hijacked by the heavy metal band Kokuchumu! The band members Kuroharu, Yukinojo & Bird took over the show to perform “Boukyoku no Sora”. Raku arrived when they had finished but when she put on the mask, she didn’t transform into Re:. While they tried to figure out what was wrong, Kokuchumu attacked them. The lead singer Kuroharu then grabbed the mask and revealed to Shokopple that she was Re: all along, not Raku! Re: only wanted to be an artist and she remembered how much fun music is when she met the other members of the band. They then attacked Shokopple but Raku stopped them. She tried to reason with Re: but she wouldn’t change her mind. They would have to fight.
All three of Kokuchumu then attacked Raku. When things looked their worst and Raku looked to be done for, all of the people she saved earlier in the show appeared on stage dancing to the ring. They all grouped around Raku reminding her that she is an idol. Memories of Raku’s entire wrestling career flashed through her mind as the voices all called out for her to wake up. Raku, now in her wrestling costume, fought off Kokuchumu until it came down to herself against Re:. She told her there was no reason to fight and told the story of how she became an idol. She then sang her song “Marshmellow Cacao Station” ending it by introducing herself as Raku from The Up Up Girls!
Raku told Re: she was forgetting the most important thing as an idol. It is to entertain the fans in front of you. Re: saw the error of her ways and settle her problems with Shokopple. It was now time for Raku to return home but nobody knew how until Shokopple figure it out. Raku is in the middle of her own dream and the only way to wake up is to go through a gruelling ordeal. Suddenly Aja Kong’s music played!
That’s right, Raku’s end to her story was to have a match against Aja Kong! Raku shook her hand and confirmed she wanted to do the match. She threw Chops after Chops but Kong wouldn’t budge. Raku then sang her a lullaby which did send Kong briefly to sleep but only for a two count. Kong then went on the attack, knocking her down and doing her own version of the Oyasumi Express! Raku escaped and used the Smile Train for another near fall. She then armed herself with a pillow to go against Kong’s Steel Can. Raku was able to disarm Kong and hit her over the head. She could have done it more but chose to fight on without any weapons. Kong easily overpowered her though and won by giving her the Back Drop.
Kong was apologetic after the match but she had to go hard against Raku to make it matter. She praised her for her performance throughout the show and didn’t expect her to sing a song at the end so that was a nice bonus for Kong. She was happy to wrestle Raku one on one for the first time on a show like this. Next time she wants them to team up. She suggested they can go look for the producer and crush her together!
The other cast members all gave their support for Raku too. Rika Tatsumi thanked her for all the hard work and said the match grabbed at her heart. Shoko Nakajima talked about how little time everyone had to prepare for the changes in the show after Misao got injured. But Raku was always the first to learn her lines and put in the most effort when she was given the lead role of the story. Raku told the audience that when Misao gave her the role, she also told her she was going to have a match. Raku immediately thought of Kong but was too nervous to do it. Misao convinced her to take it because it was a big opportunity for her.
Misao then explained that she got injured before the script was even finished. She even revealed HIMAWARI came in on a day’s notice to play the puppeteer for Shokopple in its rabbit form. Misao then told the fans she will need to get surgery on her injured ankle. She will be out for longer than she expected but she will come back! She also wants to produce more “HYPE!” shows so it can be a place where everyone can see that everybody in Tokyo Joshi Pro has talent. She ended the show by telling everyone “I get Hype! We get Hype!!”

It was only just at the end when Ueno started to show cracks in the armour, showing frustration over how Akito’s been handling him.
