TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION” Results

April 1, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 01/04/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING
142 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Mizuki defeated Miu Watanabe with the Diving Foot Stomp (14:04).
2. Rika Tatsumi defeated Raku with the Missile Hips (10:26).
3. Hardcore Match: Rina Yamashita defeated Hikari Noa with the Splash Mountain onto the Chairs (19:05).

For her first ever hardcore match, Hikari Noa looked like she was born to do it. Fighting in a Jun Kasai inspired costume, Noa got a taste of violence by facing off against Rina Yamashita. Her first weapon of choice was a box filled with CDs and glowsticks which she emptied over the ring. She also got Yamashita to crash into a board with glowsticks glued onto it in the corner. Yamashita put Noa through a table at ringside with the Fire Thunder but Noa would later smash a broken piece of the table over her opponent’s head. Noa would then mimic Kasai by doing the Pearl Harbor Splash, goggles and all for a nearfall. Yamashita took over with a well timed Lariat and pinned Noa with the Splash Mountain onto a pile of chairs to win.

Noa told Yamashita after the match that she was feeling the pain but still had fun. A little too much fun because Noa wants to do it again tomorrow! Yamashita said she is busy tomorrow but she will always agree to a rematch when Noa calls her again. She also enjoyed the match and told Noa that the worlds of Hardcore and Death Match wrestling welcomes her! Noa thought today’s match was an April Fool’s joke when she first heard about it. But her dream came through and now she wants to go one step further and do a death match. In her backstage interview, Noa said she wants to end up with a cool looking back like Jun Kasai’s. Her favorite weapon is barbed wire because it is made to hurt people. So she wants to become the Death Match Queen with barbed wire!

Raku hid underneath to commit an odd ambush on Rika Tatsumi before their match. She snuck up on Tatsumi and successfully taped a teddy bear onto Tatsumi’s backside. Tatsumi quickly hit Raku with the Hip Attack but the teddy bear cushioned the blow and made the move useless. Tatsumi was able to tear the tape off, remove the bear and wrestle the rest of the match as normal.

For a while Mizuki stopped using the Whirling Candy but she brought it back when Miu Watanabe turned out to be very difficult to beat. Watanabe kicked out of it but was pinned with the Diving Foot Stomp afterwards.

The next edition of “TJPW INSPIRATION” will be held on 1st July.

TJPW’s 1st Hardcore Match Tomorrow, Dieno’s Middle Finger To Akiyama, Takao Wants The “Weak” Champion

March 31, 2021

Everything should be fine but if the blog suddenly goes quiet for a few days in April it’s because WordPress hid the classic editor function from me again and I would rather throw my laptop out the window than learn to use whatever the hell that Block post format is.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 01/04/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Mizuki Vs Miu Watanabe
2. Rika Tatsumi Vs Miu
3. Hardcore Match: Hikari Noa Vs Rina Yamashita

A bunch of new Tokyo Joshi Pro projects are starting in April. First up is the debut “TJPW INSPIRATION” show highlighting new experiences for some of the roster. Then there is the show for women only taking place a few days later and just over a week after is the beginning of “THAT’S J-PW”.

Hikari Noa finally gets to take part in a Hardcore match, the first of its kind in TJPW. Let’s just hope Rina Yamashita doesn’t go wild with the piercing spots.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “SPRING TOUR ’21 ~THE BULLET~”, 03/04/2021

It’s 1st April in Japan right now so the April Fool jokes are already being sent out. Like the “news” of Miyu Yamashita joining The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling).

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GO GIRL WOMEN ONLY FREE BOX OFFICE”, 04/04/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. 3 Way Match: Yuki Kamifuku Vs Marika Kobashi Vs Pom Harajuku

6. Rika Tatsumi, Miu Watanabe & Suzume Vs Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Arisu Endo

The free show that is exclusively for a women-only audience has reached its capacity of tickets reserved. So it’s going to have the max attendance allowed in the venue on the day.

DDT “APRIL FOOL 2021”, 11/04/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

0. Under Match: Hideki Okatani Vs Toui Kojima
1. Chris Brookes, Saki Akai, Yuki Iino & Yukio Naya Vs Makoto Oishi, Akito, Kazuki Hirata & Keigo Nakamura
2. DAMNATION Vs The 37KAMIINA: Daisuke Sasaki, Soma Takao & Yuji Hino Vs Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata & MAO
3. Yuya Koroku Debut Match: Yusuke Okada Vs Yuya Koroku
4. Gorgeous Matsuno Pre-60th Birthday Commemorative Match: Gorgeous Matsuno, Toru Owashi & Antonio Honda Vs Tetsuya Endo, Mad Paulie & Nobuhiro Shimatani
5. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Yuji Okabayashi
6. KO-D Openweight Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs Danshoku Dieno

A press conference was held yesterday regarding the contract signings for the two title matches at the next Korakuen Hall show. Danshoku Dieno attended wearing his wrestling gear and spoke about the last time he was in a KO-D Openweight Title match. It was when he lost the title to Daisuke Sasaki at “RYOGOKU PETER PAN 2018”. At one point during that match Dieno fought in the ring completely naked and he remembers Jun Akiyama was one of the wrestlers outside of DDT who got angry with him at the time. Akiyama argues that EVERYONE was angry at Dieno over it. When people get angry at Dieno, he can’t help but let out his feelings and give people the middle finger if they don’t like what he’s all about. That’s why he stuck up his middle fingers to Akiyama at the end of the last Korakuen show. Akiyama understands how much DDT means to Dieno and vice versa but he will not forgive him for that behavior. He sees DDT fans on social media are cheering for Dieno to win the KO-D Title one more time, but Akiyama is going to be realistic with them. A grown man in a pink T-shirt shouldn’t be giving middle fingers to people especially for a company with a growing young roster on shows that could potentially be watched by children. He’s going to break the fingers off so Dieno can’t do that anymore.

Kazusada Higuchi is still reeling over losing to Akiyama. He doesn’t like Akiyama Vs Dieno main eventing the show over Eruption defending the KO-D Tag Team Titles against Smile Pissari. Meanwhile Yukio Sakaguchi is confused over why Eruption have been entered into the Ultimate Tag League 2021 when they are the champions. Hisaya Imabayashi explained the tournament is meant to determine the strongest tag team in DDT so it should also involve the tag champions. Sakaguchi disagrees, explaining that the strongest are already the champions and the next strongest team should come and challenge them. He also complained about having to defend the titles against someone from outside DDT. Higuchi added that HARASHIMA changes tag team partners too much. The challengers have a much more positive attitude going into the match. HARASHIMA thinks he and Yuji Okabayashi can light up the wrestling by winning the tag titles. Okabayashi wants to leave Korakuen with a smile on his face and the belts around him and HARASHIMA.

DDT “MAX BUMP 2021”, 04/05/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. DDT UNIVERSAL Title: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Soma Takao

Didn’t take long for a new challenger to make himself known. Soma Takao crashed the press conference to complain about having to wrestle Hideki Okatani at the 24th Anniversary show. He doesn’t want to fight weak guys, he wants to fight for more championships. He thinks Yuki Ueno is a weak champion who only defends the DDT UNIVERSAL Title against other weak wrestlers. Ueno has never beaten Takao with his most recent defeat to him happening at the D-Ou Grand Prix. He later accepted the challenge.

CyberFight Festival Announced

February 26, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 WINTER ~LOVERS~”, 27/02/2021
Osaka Azalea Taisho Hall

1. Mirai Maiumi Vs Arisu Endo
2. 3 Way Match: Hyper Misao Vs Marika Kobashi Vs Haruna Neko
3. Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino Vs Raku & Pom Harajuku
4. Miu Watanabe, Suzume & Moka Miyamoto Vs Hikari Noa, Mahiro Kiryu & Sena Shiori
5. Osaka Special 8-Woman Tag Match: Rika Tatsumi, Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Shoko Nakajima Vs Yuki Kamifuku, Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Nao Kakuta

Two shows to follow this weekend. On Saturday Tokyo Joshi Pro heads to Osaka as everyone prepares for the Max Heart final rounds.

DDT “INTO THE FIGHT 2021”, 28/02/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Ueno & Keigo Nakamura Vs Yusuke Okada & Toui Kojima
2. Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title – 5 Way Match: The Young Bucks Autobiography “Killing The Business” (c) Vs Kazuki Hirata Vs Danshoku Dieno Vs Antonio Honda Vs Saki Akai
3. HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi & Yukio Naya Vs Daisuke Sasaki, Mad Paulie & Nobuhiro Shimatani
4. DAMNATION Vs ALL OUT!: Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao & Yuji Hino Vs Konosuke Takeshita, Akito & Yuki Iino
5. Jun Akiyama, Makoto Oishi & Hideki Okatani Vs Kazusada Higuchi, Yukio Sakaguchi & Chris Brookes
6. DDT Extreme Title – Kids Room Death Match 37 (Sauna) Count Edition: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs MAO

Then on Sunday all hell breaks loose in DDT when Shunma Katsumata and MAO get to play their game. Both of them have been shopping in hardware shops during the week gathering items they hope to use as weapons. It’s all fair as long as the referee thinks the weapons aren’t dangerous.

DDT “DAY DREAM BELIEVER 2021”, 14/03/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Junretsu Vs Eruption!: Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi
2. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Akito, Kazuki Hirata & Shota (c) Vs Tetsuya Endo, Soma Takao & Yuji Hino
3. DDT UNIVERSAL TITLE: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Yusuke Okada

Tetsuya Endo has set his sights on the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles as his next goal. It’s a chance to get some gold back into DAMNATION’s clutches. Yuji Hino can regain a championship he once held before in DDT again. Soma Takao wants to beat Young Communication Generation because he has bad memories of being on those shows. Actually everyone who wrestled on those shows didn’t like them according to him. He claims he was only ever paid 100 yen to be on them. That doesn’t line up with Daisuke Sasaki who remembers getting paid 5,000 yen back then.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 01/04/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Mizuki Vs Miu Watanabe
2. Rika Tatsumi Vs Miu
3. Hardcore Match: Hikari Noa Vs Rina Yamashita

The show is only scheduled to last for an hour.

DDT “APRIL FOOL 2021”, 11/04/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Gorgeous Matsuno Pre-60th Birthday Commemorative Match: Gorgeous Matsuno Vs X
2. KO-D Tag Team Titles: Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi (c) Vs HARASHIMA & Yuji Okabayashi

Eruption’s second KO-D Tag Team Titles defence is a doozy. HARASHIMA & Yuji Okabayashi are the winners of the 2020 New Year’s Eve Shuffle Tag Tournament and are undefeated as a team. However Okabayashi’s schedule in Big Japan leaves him busy so the team known as Smile Pissari aren’t able to get their title match until April.

DDT/NOAH/TOKYO JOSHI PRO/GANBARE☆PRO “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021”, 06/06/2021
Saitama Super Arena

1. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs X
2. GHC Heavyweight Title: Keiji Muto (c) Vs X
3. KO-D Openweight Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs X

It’s been a popular prediction that CyberFight was eventually going to put together a supershow featuring all of their wrestling companies working together. Today it is now a reality. DDT, NOAH, Tokyo Joshi Pro & Ganbare☆Pro will all be in the Super Saitama Arena this June for the first “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL”. The plan is the show to headline with three major championship matches. The KO-D Openweight Title from DDT, GHC Heavyweight Title from NOAH and Princess Of Princess Title from TJPW will all be defended on the show. There will also be interpromotional matches between some of the groups but who gets matched with what remains to be seen. Pom Harajuku Vs Katsuhiko Nakajima in a battle of the kickers, anyone?

Sanshiro Takagi said that ever since CyberFight was established he wondered if he could put together a rock festival style of show that can convey the charm of pro wrestling and energize the audience. They will take sufficient measures to make sure everyone is protected from the Coronavirus when the event takes place. Naomichi Marufuji said everyone from NOAH has become more motivated coming out of their recent Budokan Hall show. Since the Olympic Games are at risk, he hopes that people around the world will get to have fun by watching this event. Akito sees the value of cross-promoting between the fanbases. He thinks new audiences will get to see the gorgeousness of TJPW and the sincerity of Ganpro. The comparison to music festivals reminds Tetsuya Koda of the times when Morning Musume performed at the ROCK IN JAPAN festivals. Ken Ohka says Ganpro is working very hard at becoming a major pro wrestling company. They’re not going to be piggy backing their way onto this show. Whatever spot they have will be earned.

Tomorrow sees DDT head to Nagoya for their second big show of the month.

Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Yuki Ueno & Keigo Nakamura Vs Yusuke Okada & Toui Kojima

6. DDT Extreme Title – Kids Room Death Match 37 (Sauna) Count Edition: Shunma Katsumata (c) Vs MAO

The DDT Extreme Title will be defended in a Kids Room Death Match. Fitting given how much Shunma Katsumata and MAO act like kids whenever they fight each other. You can win with a normal 3 count but you can also win when all of your 1 and 2 counts add up to a total score of 37 (which in Japanese kind of sounds like Sauna). No rope breaks are allowed and weapons are permitted except those considered by the referee to be particularly dangerous.

Yuki Ueno and Yusuke Okada have to be split apart and put on opposite teams again.

BOYZ “(BRAND NEW) BOYZ α -HINAMATSURI EDITION-”, 03/03/2021
Kitazawa Town Hall

1. Doki! A Tag Team Match Full Of People Careers Of 2 Years Or Less: Keigo Nakamura & Toui Kojima Vs Issei Onizuka & Hideki Okatani
2. Young Communication Generation x Ganbare☆Pro Wrestling Exchange Match!: Akito & Shota Vs Shuichiro Katsumura & Yumehito Imanari
3. New BOYZ Army Vs Old BOYZ Army 5 Vs 5 Winner Take All: Konosuke Takeshita, Chris Brookes, Yuki Ueno, MAO & Jun Masaoka Vs HARASHIMA, Toru Owashi, Makoto Oishi, Keisuke Ishii & Kazuki Hirata

The main event is a Gauntlet match between the new and old faces of BOYZ. Eliminations occur under normal rules as well as being thrown over the top rope and out of the ring. Any kind of draw will eliminate both wrestlers and there is a 10 minute time limit for each match. The team order will be submitted at the start of the show.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “CHANGE THE WIND DIRECTION”, 06/03/2021
Tokyo Nerima coconeri Hall

1. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi Final: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel Vs Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori
2. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi Final: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao
3. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Final: X & X Vs X & X

We’re down to four teams: NEO Biishiki-gun, HikaShio, 121000000 and Kyoraku Kyomei. Ever since Sakisama returned to Tokyo Joshi Pro for her latest campaign, Sena Shiori has been a regular opponent for her in what has been a one sided feud so far. The other side of the bracket involves two teams both with massive momentum behind them.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GENGHIS KHAN KIRISHIMA PRESENTS TJPW PPV SHOW 3 ~11 VS 11 KOUHAKU TAIKO THE☆BATTLE 2021~”, 07/03/2021
OPENREC.tv

1. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
2. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
3. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
4. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
5. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
6. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
7. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
8. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
9. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
10. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X
11. Team Red Vs Team White: X Vs X

The teams will now consist of 11 participants instead of 12 because Maki Itoh has a scheduling conflict and cannot be on the show. I have no inkling of what the schedule clash is so you’re not getting any speculation here. Team White is captained by Rika Tatsumi and Team Red has Shoko Nakajima as their captain. A lottery will determine who from the roster will be on which team. Each match has a 5 minute time limit and 2 Count pins. If the time expires then 1 Count sudden death overtime begins to determine the winner. The team with the most wins at the end gets the Genghis Khan Kirishima prize voucher.

DDT “DAY DREAM BELIEVER 2021”, 14/03/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Junretsu Vs Eruption!: Jun Akiyama & Makoto Oishi Vs Kazusada Higuchi & Yukio Sakaguchi
2. DDT UNIVERSAL TITLE: Yuki Ueno (c) Vs Yusuke Okada

Okada has stepped up to Ueno, jealous of the DDT UNIVERSAL Champion for being more successful and better looking than him. There’s still a sense of friendly competition going on between them but that could get thrown out the window if the match gets heated.

GANBARE☆PRO “RUMBLEFISH 2021”, 21/03/2021
Tokyo Itabashi Green Hall

1. THE HALFEE Vs Team MAKAI: Shuichiro Katsumura & Shu Sakurai Vs Asuka & Hagane Shinno
2. Special 6-Man Tag Just Before Korakuen: Ken Ohka, Yumehito Imanari & Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Takashi Sasaki, Shigehiro Irie & SAGAT
3. Shota’s Independent Journey Vol. 2: Shota Vs Onryo
4. Spring HARU Vs Manase Wasshoi: Moeka Haruhi & HARUKAZE Vs Yuna Manase & Ayumi Hayashi
5. STOP THE Hidaka! Special Tag Match: Keisuke Ishii & Kouki Iwasaki Vs Ikuto Hidaka & Yasu Urano

It looks like Ikuto Hidaka has virtually swept the Ganbare☆Pro roster but Kouki Iwasaki wants another shot at him. They last fought each other in a singles match back in November.

Onryo is a big step up from Shota’s last opponent that’s for sure.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW INSPIRATION”, 01/04/2021
Shin-Kiba 1st RING

1. Hardcore Match: Hikari Noa Vs Rina Yamashita

Tokyo Joshi wants to challenge their roster to new possibilities with a series of shorter experimental shows held in front of a small audience. The first of these will be main evented by Hikari Noa and Rina Yamashita in a Hardcore Match! Noa has been wanting to do hardcore wrestling for ages and Rina was the first person she suggested as her opponent. She wants to learn as much hardcore wrestling as she can from her while in return introduce Rina to TJPW.

GANBARE☆PRO “BAD COMMUNICATION 2021”, 07/04/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. GWC 6-Man Tag Team Titles: Asuka, Hagane Shinno & Shinichiro Tominaga (c) Vs X, X & X
2. Ganpro Vs DDT Full Scale Battle: Keisuke Ishii & Shota Vs Shunma Katsumata & Yuki Ueno
3. Daihyo Vs Daihyo ~ Fluorescent Lighttube Death Match: Ken Ohka Vs Takashi Sasaki

Two promotion representatives face off in the main event. It’s Ken Ohka from Ganpro against Takashi Sasaki from FREEDOMS. Ohka wants to go one step further after he finally defeated The Aka Rangers and he is willing to go through lighttubes to do it!

The new GWC 6-Man Tag Team Champions have decided to hold off on defending the belts until this show. It was Shinichiro Tominaga’s idea because he does not want to risk losing the titles before they make it to Korakuen Hall.

Wrestlers announced to appear include Moeka Haruhi, Minoru Fujita, Yasu Urano, Miyuki Takase and Ayumi Hayashi.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 WINTER ~LOVERS~” Results

February 21, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2021 WINTER ~LOVERS~”, 21/02/2021
Tokyo Narimasu Act Hall
163 Fans – No Vacancy

1. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Noa pinned Kiryu with the Blizzard Suplex (8:55).
2. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Sakisama & Mei Saint-Michel defeated Mirai Maiumi & Suzume when Saint-Michel submitted Suzume with the Saint-Michel (14:28).
3. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki, Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo defeated Marika Kobashi, Raku, Pom Harajuku & Haruna Neko when Sakazaki pinned Harajuku with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (8:43).
4. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe when Itoh submitted Tatsumi with the Modified Itoh Special (13:53).
5. “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 2: Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao defeated Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino when Nakajima pinned Tenma with the Diving Senton (14:09).

Two rounds in and the big guns of the tournament have mostly all fallen. The Bakuretsu Sisters were eliminated by Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao in a rematch of the recent Princess Tag Team Titles defence. Misao saved her partner from the Killswitch and got rid of Yuki Aino with the Hipami Returns. That gave Nakajima the opening to pin Nodoka Tenma with the Diving Senton. Nakajima still regrets failing to win the Tag Titles and owes a debt to Misao over it so they’re aiming to win the tournament! Also Nakajima noticed that she is moving faster and lighter around the ring than she has been for the last month. Maybe being a superhero for a month worked out for her after all. The Sisters are obviously disappointed over losing and said they will wait at the top of the mountain for the eventual tournament winners. They’ll take the lift up there while everyone else is climbing after them.

Daydream were also eliminated in an upset but the result might be a sign of an upcoming shift in power at Tokyo Joshi Pro. The team of Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh is not a new pairing and their teamwork was something Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe didn’t anticipate. Itoh was lifted up for the Daydream Eternity but Yamashita saved her and dropped Tatsumi face first into Itoh’s head before German Suplexing her. Itoh then took over with a Modified Itoh Special and shockingly made Tatsumi tap out! Backstage, Yamashita & Itoh announced they now have a tag team name. From today forward they are 121000000 (One To Million)! Itoh explained that they may not be able to win on their own, but together they are both a million times stronger. Yamashita came up with other names but Itoh ignored her messages and came up with 121000000 after talking with Yuki Kamifuku.

Whatever bad omen Sakisama sensed yesterday doesn’t have anything to do with NEO Biishiki-gun it seems. They had no problem beating BeeStar today. Mirai Maiumi & Suzume are so insignificant to Sakisama that she only remembers them by their colours, blue and yellow. She also isn’t impressed that the tournament winners will get a trophy because she can buy trophies whenever she wants. She wants a victory parade instead.

Last but not least, Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori made it to the semi-finals over Toyo University Tag. Shiori said her bond with Noa is strong which is why their team works. Kamifuku teased Mahiro Kiryu backstage for losing the fall. She said Kiryu lied to her about wanting to win today. She threatened to leave her unless she promises not to lie to her again and also buy her lunch at the school cafeteria. Only then will they make up.

The semi-final lottery was held later in the evening for the final rounds happening on 6th March. The first semi-final is NEO Biishiki-gun Vs Hikari Noa & Sena Shiori (team name HikaShio). The other is 121000000 Vs Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao (team name Kyoraku Kyomei).

A new series of events called “TJPW INSPIRATION” will begin on 1st April. The concept will be an experimental show held every couple of months with a small roster being challenged with new possibilities. The main event of the first show will be Hikari Noa versus freelancer Rina Yamashita in a Hardcore Match! Noa wants to absorb everything that Yamashita throws at her. She also wants Yamashita to go to Tokyo Joshi proper so this might not be a one time appearance.
