Tokyo Joshi Pro’s final visit to Korakuen Hall for this year was headlined with Yuka Sakazaki’s successful first defence of the Princess Of Princess Title. Her opponent was Billie Starkz, a high school pro wrestler from America on her first tour of Japan. Starkz left a big impression with her high impact moveset, particularly the Sugoi Driver and Swanton Bomb that were both landed onto Sakazaki on the ring apron. Sakazaki had her own rough streak by doing a Brainbuster on the floor and adding a more vertical drop to the Tea Time. She later blocked another Swanton Bomb with her knees and pinned Starkz with the Magical Merry-Go-Round to win.

Sakazaki praised her challenger after the match and called her the best future star in the American scene because she gets to wrestle both men and women over in there. Her mood changed when Miyu Yamashita walked out and entered the ring. She tried ignoring Yamashita until she was challenged to a Princess Title match on the 4th January Korakuen show. Sakazaki immediately refused. Fans in the audience started calling for Yamashita to promise a treat for Sakazaki in order to get the title match because that is what she did for their previous Ittenyon match in 2020. Yamashita listed off all the different sweet food she could buy and Sakazaki turned each one down until she was offered cream puffs. That led to a little more deliberation and Sakazaki finally agreed to do the match as long as Yamashita gifts her double custard cream puffs tomorrow. Yamashita forcibly shook her hand and made her take a commemorative photo of the challenge to seal the deal.

Sadly Raku was at home sick with covid but she was still at Korakuen in spirit to support Yuki Aino & Pom Harajuku challenging for the Princess Tag Team Titles. Aino & Harajuku did the Goodnight Express together on Saki Akai for the early advantage. Harajuku in particular had the spotlight shining over her for the dramatic moments of the match. She fought with Yuki Arai and hit the Pom de Justice but Akai broke the count. Arai fought back with a Big Boot, leading the Reiwa AA Cannon to join up and hit the Double Rookie Award. Arai then finished Harajuku off with the Finally to score the team’s third successful title defence. Backstage Arai & Harajuku agreed that they want to challenge for the belts again and this time do it with Raku on their team.

Reiwa AA Cannon’s victory speech was interrupted when the room went dark and a video began playing on the screen behind them. The video showed Max The Impaler along with their tag team partner on the indies Heidi Howitzer. Together they are The Wasteland War Party and they are coming to TJPW on 4th January to fight the Princess Tag Team Champions! The message was in English but Akai & Arai were able to figure out the challenge was aimed at them. Akai said a champion has to overcome many difficulties such as this to make the title belts shine brighter. Arai understood and is ready to end her year on a happy note by getting ready for her first match of 2023.

Yamashita’s main focus of the show was to defend the EVE Championship against Millie McKenzie. The two have developed a rivalry recently in Europe splitting singles matches against each other in Spain and English. Today Japan was hosting the rubber match. Yamashita was in danger early on taking a German Suplex on the floor as well as a Topé Suicida, the Spear and a Sleeper Hold. She regained her ground using High Kicks and a close range Crash Rabbit Heat. McKenzie kicked out but was bombarded with the Skull Kick, Buzzsaw Kick and a full range Crash Rabbit Heat to take the fall. Today is meant to be the final match of their rivalry but Yamashita wants to continue fighting her in more countries around the world. McKenzie said she was disappointed over the loss because she let EVE down. However if she had to lose to anybody, she believe’s there is no better opponent than Yamashita.

Previously when Yuki Kamifuku & Nao Kakuta teamed together they were called Uma x3 as a reference to horse racing. Kamifuku showed some horseplay by getting Maki Itoh to drop her guard for a selfie and then poking her in the eyes. Later, Itoh & Hikari Noa were gathered together for Kamifuku to both give them the Famouser together. Nao Kakuta finished the sweep by pinning Noa with the Shiden Kai.

Arisu Endo was given brand new entrance music starting today called “My Way Is The Rainbow”. What hasn’t changed is she still can’t win a singles match. Mizuki left her beaten after an exchange that went from her Crossface Lock to Endo’s Camel Clutch. Mizuki fought out of the Waterwheel Drop and stunned Endo with a Spinning Back Elbow. That gave her the opening to hit the Cutie Special and win the match.

Daydream were put against a tag team of Karate wrestlers. Moka Miyamoto & Juria Nagano did their best to put their skills together to good use but the experience gap was too large to overcome. Rika Tatsumi had Nagano trapped into the Dragon Sleeper to make her give up.

Match #2 was officially a 2 Vs 3 Handicap Match. Kyoraku Kyomei weren’t going to stand for that so they dragged the TJPW GM Tetsuya Koda into the ring and encouraged him to take part in the match! Koda was convinced after the crowd chanted his name and then he got beaten up by the other team. If that wasn’t bad enough, Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao decided to join in and all five women stomped him before throwing him out. They went on with the match as normal without him. Misao took out Mahiro Kiryu & Kaya Toribami with the I Am A Hero, leaving the ring clear for Nakajima to pin Haruna Neko with the Northern Lights Suplex.

Today is Suzume’s birthday and she got to celebrate by beating the guest Yoshiko Hasegawa in the opener. The Ganbare☆Pro wrestler did a Flying Cross Body of her own to match Suzume’s. She went into a flurry of Elbow Strikes until Suzume cut her off with a Facebuster and won with the Ring A Bell.

There were a few announcements to kick off the show. Miu Watanabe learned she will be defending the International Princess Title on 4th January against Trish Adora from America. Watanabe said she is nervous to defend the title against foreign wrestlers but wants to kick off her 2023 by successfully defending the belt.

Mizuki is celebrating her 10th Anniversary in wrestling next month and got to book her own commemorative match on 15th December. She is teaming with her longtime admirer Rika Tatsumi to take on Yuka Sakazaki & Nao Kakuta. Sakazaki is there because it is the rare time when The Magical Sugar Rabbits are pitted against each other. Kakuta is involved because she began her wrestling career outside of TJPW like Mizuki did. Tatsumi was chosen to be Mizuki’s tag patner because Tatsumi represents Mizuki’s fans.

When the Yume Pro Wrestling -dream on the ring- series ended it was left up to the three contestants to decide if they wanted to continue on the path to pro wrestling. One of them is doing just that. Wakana Uehara announced her plans to stay in the business and wrestle for TJPW when she is ready. She did not know a thing about pro wrestling when she agreed to take part in the series and over time grew to love it along with developing an admiration for TJPW. She will train to wrestle while continuing her career as an actress and TV personality. Her first goal is to develop her skills high enough that she gets to wrestle against Shoko Nakajima.

Since Raku was absent, Shino was again in her place performing with the rest of The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) as the show opening act.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN TOUR ’22” Results

November 20, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TJPW AUTUMN TOUR ’22”, 20/11/2022
Shinjuku FACE
215 Fans

1. Miu Watanabe defeated Kaya Toribami with the Canadian Backbreaker (8:10).
2. Hyper Misao defeated Pom Harajuku with the I Am A Hero (9:38).
3. Mizuki defeated Mahiro Kiryu with the Cutie Special (8:37).
4. Yuki Aino & Raku defeated Shoko Nakajima & Haruna Neko when Raku pinned Neko with the Sunrise (9:20).
5. Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Kamifuku & Nao Kakuta defeated Suzume, Moka Miyamoto & Arisu Endo when Kakuta pinned Endo with the Shiden Kai (13:29).
6. Billie Starkz & Millie McKenzie defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Miyu Yamashita when McKenzie pinned Yamashita with the Arm-Clutch Saito Suplex (13:58).

The international challengers landed in Japan with a victory over the champion team. Yuka Sakazaki had Millie McKenzie beaten with the Magical Girl Splash until Billie Starkz broke the pin with a Swanton Bomb from the top rope. Starkz then took Sakazaki out with a Topé. McKenzie got her second wind against Miyu Yamashita by blocking the Skull Kick, hitting a Spear and then using an Arm-Clutch Saito Suplex to pin the EVE Champion. After the match McKenzie told the fans in English she loves Japan so much she wants to win the EVE Title in Korakuen Hall and come back here again. Yamashita swore she won’t lose to her again and will definitely beat her in the title match. Backstage, Starkz admitted she feels overwhelmed by Sakazaki’s energy but she has no doubt she can win the Princess Of Princess Title from her next week. Sakazaki said she and Yamashita need to bet on the pride of Tokyo Joshi Pro to both defend their championships.

Yuki Aino & Raku have combined both of their finishing moves into a devastating double team finisher. Sunrise is a combination of the Venus DDT and the Doctor Yellow.

Hikari Noa was pulled from the show due to being in poor condition. The 3 Way Match she was meant to be in became a regular singles match between Mizuki and Mahiro Kiryu instead. Shino took Noa’s place in the show opening Up Up Girls musical performance.

Match #2 turned into the Spider-Man pointing meme because Pom Harajuku walked out wearing a superhero mask and cloak. She interrupted Hyper Misao’s pre-match speech and introduced herself as Hyper Pom. Misao was insulted and unmasked her after an attack. Harajuku then went out of the ring and placed her mask first on Arisu Endo, then on Sayuri Namba and then on Daisuke Kiso. Misao kept falling for the trick thinking each of them was Harajuku in disguise. Harajuku tried to pin her with a Roll Up but it was kicked out of. The two then fought up to the top rope and started arguing over who should step down first. They tried to settle it with Rock-Paper-Scissors but instead Misao gave Harajuku the Avalanche Hyper Gotham Crash and then went back up the turnbuckle to hit the I Am A Hero for the win.

Namba was at a wedding earlier in the day and decided to keep the same dress on during her ring announcing duties.

9. Princess Of Princess Title: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Shoko Nakajima (c) with the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro (22:44).
*Shoko Nakajima fails in V5. Yuka Sakazaki becomes the 11th Princess Of Princess Champion!

For the third time in her career, Yuka Sakazaki has become the Princess Of Princess Champion! She avenged her loss against Shoko Nakajima from June at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” to regain the belt for the first time in 21 months. Nakajima pulled out her biggest moves to try and defend the title including the Locomotion Northern Lights Suplex as well as the Diving Senton onto the ring apron. But Sakazaki went high risk by performing the Magical Merry-Go-Round off the top turnbuckle. The Magical Girl Splash was not enough to finish off the champ so Sakazaki had to pull out the 450 version to win in the end.

Sakazaki was thrilled with the result and hugged Nakajima after the match. Nakajima wrapped the title belt around her waist in return. Sakazaki then told the fans she was finally able to beat Nakajima and got to do so in a big venue in front of a sold out crowd. She said it is because of the fans supporting Tokyo Joshi Pro that she’s been able to steadily improve her skills enough to make this moment happen. She also talked about TJPW’s growth resulting in her making new friends not just in Japan but from overseas too.

As the show was reaching its end, the entire roster gathered together and Sakazaki told them there is an important announcement about to be made. A video played containing two messages. First, the annual Ittenyon show at Korakuen Hall on 4th January will take place again in 2023 for the 8th consecutive year. Secondly, “GRAND PRINCESS ’23” is taking place at Ariake Coliseum on 18th March, 2023! It will be the first wrestling show to be held in the venue in 6 and a half years.

The growing relationship between TJPW and EVE resulted in several British wrestlers taking part in title matches below the main event. The Uprising of Rhia O’Reilly & Nightshade were brand new opponents for Reiwa AA Cannon. It was the first time Yuki Arai was taking on wrestlers from another country. However with Saki Akai’s guidance, the champions were able to retain. Together they took out O’Reilly with Double Rookie Awards and Akai got to pin Nightshade with the Finally. Akai explained in her post match interview that even though The Uprising had the size and power advantage, she could sense herself & Arai climbing up step by step towards victory as the match went on. Arai said the match is a reminder she still has a lot to learn but she got good experience from it. Akai does not know when their next defence is but she wants to spend Christmas and New Year’s with Arai and take their title reign all the way to Valentine’s Day so they can exchange their belts to each other.

Miu Watanabe’s breakout performance at this year’s Tokyo Princess Cup has paid off with her winning the International Princess Title! She beat Alex Windsor by kicking out of the Liger Bomb and pinning her with the Tear Drop. This is not the first time Watanabe has held gold in TJPW but she’s been waiting so long to win a singles title as a reward for her progress that it sure felt like her first time today. After the summer Watanabe had, she believes today’s result was destiny. The president of the idol agency The Up Up Girls are signed to once told her that the day she becomes a full-fledged pro wrestler will also be the day she becomes a full-fledged idol. She wants to do her best to grow the value of the championship while also continuing to grow as a wrestler herself. That includes defending the title overseas.

The last time Miyu Yamashita fought Riho was in 2019 for DDT so she really wanted to spend a lot of time in the ring against her today. Maki Itoh wanted to fight Riho of course and tried replicating her athletic bridging pin kickout. Hikari Noa was also happy to finally team with Riho for the first time. It was a match that Riho was really looking forward to and at the end she picked Yamashita as someone she would like to fight more often. The two of them pretty much cancelled each other out so it was up to Itoh to get the win by making Noa tap out.

Monster collided with monster when Max The Impaler and Aja Kong were put on opposite sides of the trios match. Everyone else involved were just as much trying to stop those two from tearing down the arena together than they were trying to win. Max threw Pom Harajuku around a lot and then threw her own partner Yuki Aino at Kong. Raku’s idea to arm herself with a pillow for her sleep inducing offence worked about as well as you’d expect. Kong kept Max at bay by attacking her with a steel can while Rika Tatsumi pinned Harajuku with the Sliding Hip Attack. That didn’t stop the two monsters fighting after the match and they brawled up to the stage entrance with everyone else trying to break things up. When things finally calmed down backstage, Tatsumi said they all became closer. Aino absolutely disagreed. What they could agree on was Tokyo Dome City Hall was successfully protected from the Great Monster War. Meanwhile Kong is demanding another match with Max and wants it to be held in a venue that will let her do whatever she wants!

Hyper Misao thinks she is almost evenly matches with Mizuki. The one big difference is she lacks the flowery personality of Mizuki that makes her so princess-like. So Misao asked for the match to be held under TDC (Tottemo Dekkai Chance) Rules. A large bag of random treats and goodies was brought into the ring and everything within it was allowed to be used as a weapon. The ring was soon covered in ribbons, balloons, party string while Misao and Mizuki attacked each other with Pico Pico Hammers. Misao then emptied out a box of Nakajima’s kaiju toys to slam her opponent onto. They fought up to the stage where Misao trapped Mizuki in a garbage can and walked off to find her Combat Bike. Meanwhile Mizuki quietly escaped and hid behind the can with a fire extinguisher, spraying Misao with it when she charged in from across the stage (she later revealed Sanshiro Takagi taught her how to use it). Mizuki brought her back to the ring, climbed a ladder and hit the Diving Stomp off of it to get the win. Mizuki said she proved she can be even more crazy than Misao. But she doesn’t want to be like that so please continue calling her cute.

The speed of Suzume clashed with the brawn of Ryo Mizunami in a first time match. Suzume did some dives early but was drawn into Elbow Smash battles of which Mizunami came out on top of. Suzume switched to some clever matwork but was worn down with more Elbow Smashes. When she was on her last legs, Mizunami encouraged her to stand back up under her own strength so she could be finished off with the Lariat. This was Mizunami’s second match in TJPW and she is becoming fascinated by the place. She sees the future potential in everyone here which encourages herself to keep being stronger. Suzume wants to fight her again so she can also become strong and not lose so easily.

The Actwres girl’Z alumni were victorious against the TJPW home team. Toyo Mates organised some teamwork with Haruna Neko but Yuna Manase broke it apart with a Lariat to Mahiro Kiryu. She was then hit by Yuki Kamifuku’s Big Boot and Kamifuku was wiped out from Yoshiko Hasegawa’s Flying Cross Body. Neko got rid of her with the Nekodebraker and tried to wrap things up against Nao Kakuta. But Kakuta got the upper hand and pinned Neko after a Cross-Arm DDT followed by the Shiden Kai. Backstage Kakuta said it’s been two years since she announced her participation with TJPW in TDC Hall. Two years later and she got to be with both Manase and Hasegawa again. She wrestled in a new costume today but will be evolving herself to become better. The match was Hasegawa’s first victory since returning to wrestling so it is a big deal for her. Manase said she will do her best so that the day will come when they get to fight together again.

Seven months after her debut, Juria Nagano scores her first win. She teamed with Moka Miyamoto in the opener against Arisu Endo & Kaya Toribami in a new generation clash. Miyamoto used a Rotating Brainbuster on Endo, giving Nagano the opening to hit a Whirlwind Kick on Toribami for the win. It was a move Nagano was secretly working on but it has a bad hit rate so she waited until she had the chance to finally use it. Nagano’s next goal is to win a singles match. She hasn’t won one yet and feels the need to prove she can win without the help of her seniors.

The Up Up Girls performed at the beginning of the show like they usually do. This time however the newest member Shino performed one of the songs with the rest of the group. She is still getting ready for her eventual pro wrestling debut.

There are two new trainees, both from middle school. Haru is 14 years old and a 3rd year junior high school student from Tokyo. Momo is from Saitama, also 14 years old and is in her 2nd year of junior high. Both said they will do their best to make it to their debut matches.

Today is the 5th anniversary of The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) debut musical performance. Their schedule for today was their usual responsibilities in Tokyo Joshi Pro followed by a concert performance over in the ＠JAM EXPO 2022 in the Yokohama Arena. On today’s show Miu Watanabe was on the winning team in the main event, teaming with Shoko Nakajima to beat Daisy Monkey. Elsewhere on the card Raku lost to Yuka Sakazaki while Hikari Noa won her match as part of Free WiFi. While all of this is going on Shino, the newest member of The Up Up Girls is currently training for her debut.

Tomorrow’s “GO GIRL 3” show will unveil the new TJPW logo. Nakajima is a little sad to see the logo they’ve been using for 9 years finally go away. But she believes when something in the company changes then so too should the wrestlers and they will continue to work as hard as ever.

Hyper Misao went to see the movie “Green Bullet” and was inspired to go from super hero to a hitman for hire! She entered the 3 Way Match armed with two guns (relax they turned out to be water pistols) and asked if Mizuki or Yuki Aino will become her assistant. Mizuki agreed and took one of the guns, only to turn it on Misao. Later Misao tried to take Aino hostage at gunpoint but Mizuki coldly told them she doesn’t care what happens to her.

For the second match in a row Free WiFi grabbed Haruna Neko’s hair and bit her pigtails during their match.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP” Results

August 14, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO PRINCESS CUP”, 14/08/2022
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
551 Fans

1. Nao Kakuta defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Shiden Kai (7:56).
2. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami when Kiryu pinned Toribami with the Spinebuster (9:49).
3. Miyu Yamashita, Suzume & Haruna Neko defeated Mizuki, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Yamashita pinned Harajuku with the Attitude Adjustment (9:20).
4. Saki Akai & Yuki Arai defeated Hikari Noa & Arisu Endo when Arai pinned Endo with the Finally (11:52).
5. Shoko Nakajima & Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuki Aino & Max The Impaler when Nakajima pinned Aino with the Diving Senton (16:24).
6. Tokyo Princess Cup – Final: Yuka Sakazaki defeated Miu Watanabe with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (19:36).

It took eight times for Yuka Sakazaki to finally win the Tokyo Princess Cup. She can now scratch that achievement off her list and make a claim to be arguably the strongest wrestler in Tokyo Joshi Pro! Her victory in a final brought Miu Watanabe’s summer campaign to surpass her seniors to a sad end. She did her best by hitting an Avalanche Tear Drop but she was too hurt to make the cover. Sakazaki later absorbed the Laserbeam strike and fired back with overwhelming Elbow Strikes. She grabbed onto Watanabe’s arm to keep her from falling down and pulled her into the Magical Merry-Go-Round to win the tournament.

After the match the two wrestlers hugged and Sakazaki said something into Watanabe’s ear. Watanabe left the ring to a loud applause while Sakazaki was presented with the brand new Princess Cup trophy from Naoya Yuzawa, the chief editor of Shukan Puroresu/Weekly Pro-Wrestling magazine. Sakazaki said she is feeling tired but also very happy to see everybody becoming more stronger. She doesn’t like that there is so much pink on the new trophy but she is very happy to have it. Her emotions have been shaken all tournament long especially when she saw both Shoko Nakajima and Miyu Yamashita get eliminated. She feels like she has become the big sister for the rest of TJPW because she wants to see everyone do well.

Sakazaki then called Nakajima into the ring. Winning the Princess Cup means she should get another shot at the Princess Of Princess Title. Nakajima said Sakazaki always gave her courage and pushed her back. It is alright by her to give Sakazaki another title match. The two agreed to have the match at Tokyo Dome City Hall for “WRESTLE PRINCESS III” on 9th October. Meanwhile Watanabe said backstage that no matter how many times she gets frustrated and no matter how many tears she sheds, she will work even harder to surpass her seniors and win next year’s tournament.

Nakajima had her hands full earlier in the show. She teamed up with Rika Tatsumi but even their powers combined struggled against Max The Impaler. The weakness they needed to exploit was Max’s unusual team-up with Yuki Aino. A misfired Lariat hit Aino and Max was then knocked away by Tatsumi’s Hip Attack. It took a lot just to keep Max away but Nakajima found enough time to isolate Aino and pin her with the Diving Senton. Nakajima said it was a scary match but she still enjoyed it. Tatsumi agreed and hopes Max comes back to Japan some day. The two of them now consider Max their friend! Aino also appreciated Max for coming over because they are really cool and inspiring.

The current Princess Tag Team Champions used today’s match to sharpen their skills before the next title defence. Reiwa AA Cannon went up against Hikari Noa & Arisu Endo. Together Saki Akai & Yuki Arai used double team moves on Endo while Noa kept getting in the way to cut off their momentum. Akai eventually got Noa out of the ring and hit a PK from across the apron to keep her away while Arai pinned Endo with the Finally.

After yesterday’s disappointing losses, Miyu Yamashita and Suzume both got to lighten up a bit by being thrown into a wacky 6-Woman Tag match with the likes of Raku, Haruna Neko and Pom Harajuku. There was also Mizuki there too to speed up the action. Harajuku wanted to do some high flying too but she was a sitting duck for Yamashita’s High Kick. One Attitude Adjustment later and Yamashita’s team were the winners.

Upcoming Princess Tag Title challengers Toyo Mates had their own preparations to sort out by taking on the masked duo of Hyper Misao & Kaya Toribami. One thing was Yuki Kamifuku did not want to sit through Misao’s usual opening speech. She took the microphone and gave it to Mahiro Kiryu so she could give a cool speech instead. Kiryu ended up getting attacked by Misao to start the match. Toyo Mates eventually eliminated Misao with the Big Boot/Spinebuster combo and Kiryu then hit a proper Spinebuster on Toribami to get the win.

The opening match saw Nao Kakuta beat Moka Miyamoto with a rough and tough performance in the ring. She was able to break out of the Rashomon and pin her opponent with the Shiden Kai.

The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) had a big surprise for everyone after they finished their musical performance at the beginning of the show. After months of auditioning about 100 applicants, they are now adding a brand new member to the group! The new member is named Shino. She is a former bus guide who was born in Shizuoka on 15th July, 1998. The first time she attended a pro wrestling show was the 3rd May TJPW event in Korakuen Hall. Shoko Nakajima left a huge impression on her that day so her goal is to reach Nakajima’s level. Her favourite idol is Sakura Oda from Morning Musume. When Shino finished introducing herself to the audience, Hikari Noa asked her if she would like to do a death match.

7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Mizuki pinned Endo with the Diving Foot Stomp (16:05).
*V3 for The Magical Sugar Rabbits.
8. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima (c) defeated Yuki Aino with the Diving Senton (15:49).
*V1 for Shoko Nakajima.

A new chapter in Tokyo Joshi Pro began with Shoko Nakajima scoring her first Princess Of Princess Title defence against Yuki Aino. The challenger put forth a strong effort to show she is ready to fight on her own but Nakajima planted her with the Double Arm DDT and got the pin with the Diving Senton. She told Aino she will continue winning and moving forward. She hopes Aino will do the same. The two shook hands over the apron after Aino left the ring.

Hyper Misao then entered the ring challenging Nakajima for the Princess Title! Misao believes the reason why their Kyoraku Kyomei tag team always blow it during their most crucial moments is because she is weak. Misao was losing faith in herself but today she won her match after being pushed into a corner and feels like she has finally woken up. For Kyoraku Kyomei to improve, Misao has to grow stronger and to do that she needs to beat Nakajima for the championship! Nakajima accepted the challenge for 3rd May and the two shook hands. Then suddenly Misao gave her the Stunner! She said the battle has now begun and Nakajima shouldn’t let her guard down because Misao will tear the belt from her if she has too!

The newly renamed Daisy Monkey wanted to prove that their bond is just as strong as The Magical Sugar Rabbits. They hit them quick with plenty of double team moves and Dropkicks. Mizuki cut off Arisu Endo’s momentum and they dying minutes of the match came down to them. Suzume did her best to stop Yuka Sakazaki but Mizuki kicked her away so Sakazaki could go hit the Magical Girl Splash onto Endo. Mizuki then followed up with the Diving Foot Stomp to get the victory.

After the match, Free WiFi came out to confront MagiRabi. Both Hikari Noa & Nao Kakuta politely asked for the two teams to connect together for a Princess Tag Team Titles match. MagiRabi began making jokes that they couldn’t hear Free WiFi because they have a bad connection and they left without accepting the challenge. Kakuta won’t take no for an answer though and told everyone the title match will take place on 3rd May. Backstage Sakazaki said Daisy Monkey had more guts than she expected. She made more jokes about Free WiFi being on 3G while MagiRabi are on 5G. Meanwhile Kakuta has heard the rumours about how every tag partner Noa has ends up leaving her and disappearing. She promises she won’t do that to her.

Reiwa AA Cannon is off to a good start, winning their first match together. Saki Akai & Yuki Arai showed off the double ring entrance they were working on together during the week. In the match itself they used a Double Big Boot to good effect. Akai got rid of Rika Tatsumi with the Quetzalcoatl. Arai then got a three count on Mahiro Kiryu with the Finally. Akai said she will watch over Arai to see how she grows and is looking forward to seeing how their destinies will be intertwined in the future.

Misao’s big win to kick off her big title challenge was at the expense of Miu Watanabe. When the match begun Misao handed Watanabe her CV to audition for The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling). It was of course a trap to make Watanabe drop her guard. Misao took her out of the ring and tried to trap her underneath the floor mat for a countout win but it just about failed. In the end Misao dusted off the Vanitas finisher she used from her darker days to beat Watanabe.

Free WiFi beat MakiYuki Happy to get them their Princess Tag Titles shot. They offered a handshake before the match but Maki Itoh refused, causing them to attack Yuki Kamifuku. WiFi’s teamwork led to Kakuta pinning Kamifuku with the Shiden Kai.

In her final match at Korakuen Hall, Marika Kobashi gets to leave the venue with a win. She beat Raku in a singles match and the two left ringside together happy for each other. Kobashi said Raku was the first person in TJPW she became friends with. It’s because of Raku that Kobashi got to show her true self and they have a lot of memories together. The match made Kobashi happy because it showed her that Raku has the muddy side of a pro wrestler to go along with her cute personality outside of the ring. Raku said she knows Kobashi will still be watching her after she graduates.

There were strikes and kicks aplenty when Miyu Yamashita fought the rookies Juria Nagano. The karate background of both women were on display as the two tried to get the better of each other. Nagano’s big mistake came when she missed the Brazilian Kick, giving Yamashita the opening to throw the Skull Kick and win the match. Nagano said she was honored to face Yamashita one on one in just her second pro wrestling match. The Low Kicks she took left her feeling heavy because they are not part of traditional Karate. Yamashita thinks the rematch will be really interesting once Nagano has more pro wrestling experience. They may even do the rematch at a “TJPW INSPIRATION” show so they can use different rules.

In the opening match Moka Miyamoto kept Haruna Neko away so Pom Harajuku could pin Kaya Toribami with the Pom de Justice. Toribami just couldn’t figure out how to stop those shin kicks.

10. Princess Of Princess Title: Shoko Nakajima defeated Miyu Yamashita (c) with the Diving Senton (19:04).
*Miyu Yamashita fails in V5. Shoko Nakajima becomes the 10th Princess Of Princess Champion!

In its ninth year of existence, Tokyo Joshi Pro has reached the “Dream Stage” that is Sumo Hall! In the main event, Shoko Nakajima brought an end to Miyu Yamashita’s reign as Princess Of Princess Champion. She took the Skull Kick to the back of the head but was able to dodge a second one thrown from the front. Yamashita was caught in a Frankensteiner for a nearfall and was left stunned with a Double Arm DDT. That was the end for her because Nakajima then hit the Diving Senton for the three count. It is the second Princess Title reign for Nakajima, reclaiming the belt in the same venue she lost it in November 2019.

Nakajima said today was the strongest version of Yamashita she had ever seen. After years of fighting together, no matter what pressure they were under, Yamashita never showed any fear. That is why Nakajima wanted to win so badly today, to be like Yamashita. She doesn’t know for sure if she surpassed her today but she knows for sure one day she will. Either way, the two will continue fighting together for TJPW. Nakajima later said her goal is to defend the Princess Title at “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2022” in Saitama Super Arena on 12th June. She thought last year’s title match at the show was really cool and would love to be in that position on behalf of everyone. Yamashita has mixed with happy and sad emotions over the show. Her dream to headline Sumo Hall came true but she lost. Today isn’t the happy ending for TJPW because she wants the company to grow even bigger for their supporters! She couldn’t win today but that just means she has to get stronger and restart her training. However she admits if she was to fight Nakajima for the championship again she won’t be able to beat her. The next time she wants to be in a Princess Title match will be when she is confident she will win.

It’s going to be a difficult task to take the Princess Tag Team Titles away from The Magical Sugar Rabbits. The strongest challengers in the company are Daydream and they weren’t able to beat them today. Double team moves were the plays of the day with MagiRabi hitting versions 1, 2 and 3 of Toy Story. Miu Watanabe used her individual strength to give both MagiRabi a Double Giant Swing by herself. Rika Tatsumi tried to put Yuka Sakazaki away with Hip Attacks but couldn’t get the job done. Watanabe got back in only to get wiped out by Mizuki’s Whirling Candy. Tatsumi was then dealt with MagiRabi’s signature moves until Sakazaki finished her off with the Magical Girl Niwatori Yaro. Sakazaki calls this a huge victory because of where it took place. Mizuki is cheery again because she wanted to win the Max Heart Tournament earlier this year and they just beat the winners today. Daydream were obviously upset over losing but they said they will find a new dream to make come true.

Yuki Arai’s first championship match in TJPW career ended in failure thanks to Maki Itoh. The International Princess Title bout was big enough for Kero Tanaka to be the ring announcer for. Also Itoh was joined by Naoko Hara and Mayu Kishida from the idol group Toki wo Ikiru (of which Itoh is also a member) to dance for her entrance. Itoh choked Arai with her microphone stand and showed no mercy as the match progressed. Arai kept fighting and held onto Itoh as much as she could but an Avalanche DDT followed by the Itoh Deluxe made her give up in the end. Itoh asked for Arai’s handshake afterwards and Arai reluctantly accepted. Arai said next time she will win and be the one who asks for Itoh’s handshake instead. However Itoh is sure she will continue beating Arai no matter how many times they fight. But she also believes Arai is stronger than she thinks. She has power, stamina and guts but is missing one thing to make the complete package. Arai has all of the ingredients, she just isn’t a good cook yet. Itoh will still be here for Arai to challenge her again in the future.

Hikaru Shida did the deal because nobody kicks out of the Falcon Arrow! Even though her match against Hikari Noa was not a Hardcore match, the two couldn’t help but hit each other with a kendo stick and a chair outside the ring. Noa’s back was targeted throughout and Shida’s plan paid off when her opponent struggled to throw a Super Kick and could not hold onto the Blizzard Suplex during an attempted pin due to the pain. Shida went on to win but as she walked back up the ramp, she couldn’t help but notice Aja Kong on commentary and give her a determined look. Backstage Shida said she is grateful to wrestle in Japan again. She was surprised that Noa wanted to fight a Hardcore match against her but she likes that kind of spirit. Next time they fight Shida wants it under Hardcore rules for sure!

For the first time in TJPW, the entire NEO Biishiki-gun were together in one place. Sakisama was teaming with her usual loyal servants but the rest of the household stood with them for their entrance. Ai Shimizu, KANNA, Azusa Christie, Yoshiko-sama (with her teddy bear Charlotte) and even Misao were all seen in public again for the first time in years. The grand entrance made everyone forget that minutes earlier Raku & Ram Kaichow were walking down the ramp together looking like a newly married couple. During the match itself the maids Mei Saint-Michel & Martha worked together like a well oiled team against Pom Harajuku. Later Yukio Saint Laurent tried to stab his opponents with an injection but Kaichow turned the needle on himself. She also gave Sakisama the Rainmaker. Marika Kobashi took over and tried using moves like the Front Neck Lock and Shining Wizard on Sakisama. However Martha used a mop to distract her, Saint-Michel (with Charlotte) hit a mop assisted Diving Double Knee Drop and Sakisama pinned Kobashi with the Academy Award. After the match Sakisama gave Kobashi a red rose as a parting gift. Kobashi said that in the past she ripped up the roses Sakisama gave her but this time she will bring it home with her. She can tell this one was given out of respect and maybe even love?

Even though The Bakuretsu Sisters were opponents, they made their entrance together with a live performance of “BAKURETSU POWER” by the band angela. The younger sister won out in the end with Yuki Aino pinning Nodoka Tenma with the UBV. She said she finally found out how strong Tenma is by wrestling her one on one. She was happy to win because she admires her sister the most and shouldn’t be losing to her when Tenma is leaving pro wrestling to farm in Okayama. Tenma wants Aino to continue wrestling and doesn’t think she will need a new tag partner as a substitute for herself.

The entrances of Asuka and Yuki Kamifuku was just as much a competition as the match itself. Asuka had a routine with a male dancer while Kamifuku arrived in the arena on a motorbike looking for drinks and a smoke. The two began in the ring with light teases that grew more and more aggressive until it became a full on match. Kamifuku’s reliance on the Famouser didn’t work and she was dropped with a Sit Down Power Bomb. Asuka then picked up the win with the Moonsault. Kamifuku admitted to feeling more nervous about this match than any title bout she was ever in. She believes it is up to her to become stronger than Asuka because there will be new people coming into TJPW and looking up to her. And even if she loses to Asuka in the ring, she will never lose to her in the bar! Asuka said their bond has deepened and VENYU will team together again in the future.

TJPW’s first ring announcer Minami Momochi was on hand to witness the match between Hyper Misao and Sanshiro Takagi. She wasn’t the only face from the past because former TJPW wrestlers Nonoko and MIZUHO were in attendance to present flowers to Misao. The superhero said Takagi was not the crazy wrestler he used to be so she wanted to destroy him. Nobody was more shocked than her when Takagi showed up dressed like her in bodypaint! He grabbed the microphone and introduced himself as Hyper Sanshiro, the President who protects sales and numbers in Tokyo Joshi Pro! Misao attacked him with the help of Nonoko and MIZUHO. They then fought up the ramp on bicycles, crashing into each other. Another graduated TJPW wrestler appeared when Akane Miura from the ring crew hit Takagi with a Lariat on the ramp. Takagi knew the match was getting out of control so he ordered the rules be changed to Falls Count Anywhere! After he did that, Misao was seen standing on the top of the aisle and she jumped down onto everyone below! A castle of chairs was built in the ring and Misao got back on her bicycle. She shouted this was what she always dreamed to do in Sumo Hall and crashed into the chairs after Takagi jumped out of the way. Takagi hit her with chairs and called her a phoney hero. He sprayed her with a fire extinguisher, calling it the Hero Beam. But when he attempted to do the I Am A Hero onto some plastic boxes, Misao rolled out of the way and he crashed through them. Misao then did her own I Am A Hero to pin the DDT president for the three count! Misao said that as long as Takagi is her Peter Pan, she will always aim for his head. Takagi said he’s been dressed like this since 8am, even doing the pre-show speech to the entire locker room looking like that. He told Misao that today she has become a real hero! The two hugged and Misao then gave Takagi a Stunner.

Yuna Manase returned to TJPW with a new gang of friends with her. The visiting foursome from Ganbare☆Pro defeated the home team led by Nao Kakuta. Manase took her new role as the female Ken Ohka to heart by wrestling an outfit similar to his. Mahiro Kiryu also debuted a new costume too. Kaya Toribami and HARUKAZE had a sequence against each other that could have went either way. YuuRI joined in with Manasae to deal some pain to Kakuta & Haruna Neko. But Neko got to fight back by giving Moeka Haruhi the Nekodebreaker. The match came down to Manase and Kiryu and ended when Manase pinned her with the Lariat. The TJPW team are taking the loss as a learning experience and that more work needs to be done to make the company stronger. Manase credited her team’s win on the bond formed between all four of them. They all fought using the spirit of Ganbare☆Joshi! Manase wants everyone to know that CyberFight has so much hot joshi action from not just DDT and TJPW but Ganjo too. She wants everyone to come see Ganpro at Ota Ward Gymnasium on 10th July.

The show began with the anticipated debut of the TikTok Karate Nurse Juria Nagano. She teamed with Moka Miyamoto to take on Arisuzu in a losing effort. However it was Miyamoto who took the fall instead of the newcomer. She enjoyed her first match but described how frustrated she felt when she was taken down to the mat because she has no ground game. Suzume was delighted to see how many fans showed up to watch the match and she’s also happy to have new friends. Arisu Endo joked that the match went by too fast for her to enjoy it.

During the show opening introductions, Sayuri Namba brought down KANNA and Chikage Kiba into the ring. They were the two other wrestlers who debuted in the same match with Yamashita and Nakajima in 2013 but both of their wrestling careers only lasted a few years. KANNA cried because she never expected to see TJPW to make it to this point and she thinks it will become the second launch of the company. Kiba said it was a miracle that the show went ahead without anyone having to pull out because of covid. Standing in Sumo Hall with somebody she debuted with felt like a dream come true for her. A voiceover for the show was recorded by another TJPW alumni, Azusa Takigawa.

The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) performed some of their songs and announced will be holding an audition to find a new member! They are looking for girls who want to sing, dance and fight with them. Noa would like someone to do a death match with and who is also imposing enough to beat up Sanshiro Takagi. Raku said she grew up knowing nothing about pro wrestling yet it changed her life 180 degrees and she is now here standing in the middle of Sumo Hall. Watanabe said it also isn’t important if the applicants do not know anything about idols. She is looking forward to hearing from anyone interested to join.

Tokyo Joshi Pro will return to Ota Ward Gymnasium on 9th July for “SUMMER SUN PRINCESS ’22”.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2022 WINTER” Results

January 29, 2022

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “TOKYO JOSHI 2022 WINTER”, 29/01/2022
Shinjuku FACE
237 Fans – Super No Vacancy Full House

1. Yuka Sakazaki defeated Mahiro Kiryu with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (11:43).
2. Shoko Nakajima, Hyper Misao & Marika Kobashi defeated Suzume, Arisu Endo & Kaya Toribami when Nakajima pinned Endo with the Northern Lights Suplex (11:45).
3. 3 Way Match: Mizuki defeated Nao Kakuta and Pom Harajuku when Mizuki pinned Harajuku with the Kyururindon! (7:19).
4. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Hikari Noa & Haruna Neko when Yamashita pinned Neko with the Attitude Adjustment (12:03).
5. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi-Final: Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Moka Miyamoto & Yuki Arai when Watanabe pinned Miyamoto with the Tear Drop (15:25).
6. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Semi-Final: Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Asuka when Aino pinned Kamifuku after the Bakuretsu Bulldog (15:39).

There are only so many matches left for The Bakuretsu Sisters before Nodoka Tenma graduates from Tokyo Joshi Pro this March. The team may be coming to an end soon but they can win the Max Heart Tournament in their final weeks together. VENYU couldn’t knock them out in the semi-final today. Tenma put Asuka out with the Killswitch, Yuki Aino gave Yuki Kamifuku the Side Suplex and together the Sisters hit the Bakuretsu Bulldog on Kamifuku for the win. They said they have come this far so they have no choice but to win the whole thing. Kamifuku was disappointed to lose but Asuka assured her their tournament run was not a disaster in the least.

The MokaYuki Cinderella run was all a dream. A Daydream that is! Eh? Eh? A lot of attention in the tournament was given to the Moka Miyamoto & Yuki Arai pairing but it all came to an end today. Arai put all the credit on Miyamoto for getting the team this far. Miyamoto however was more upset over the result and blamed the loss on herself. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe move on to the final.

The final on 11th February is now between Daydream and The Bakuretsu Sisters. Much like what the Sisters said above, Daydream aren’t afraid because they made it to the final by beating Kyoraku Kyomei and now MokaYuki. Both teams were complimentary to each other to close out the show.

Pom Harajuku tried to disguise herself as a ringside second for the 3 Way Match so would be ignored. Her disguise was just a large piece of paper on her back with “I Am A Second” written on it. Mizuki and Nao Kakuta didn’t fall for it and they dragged her back into the match.

In the opening match, Yuka Sakazaki got annoyed from seeing so many Yuki Arai shirts in the audience. She took her frustration out on Mahiro Kiryu, who complained to the referee about fouls being committed. Sakazaki then brought a chair into the ring and when they fought over it, the ref got knocked out by accident. Sakazaki then accidentally hit herself when she missed a swing and the chair bounced off the rope back into her face. Kiryu was falsely caught with the chair when the ref got back up and the match went back to normal.

Miyu Yamashita Vs Marika Kobashi was announced for the 5th February show in Yokohama. It will be Kobashi’s final match in her home region before she graduates in April.

There was no Up Up Girls performance to open the show because of Raku’s absence.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’21” Results

November 25, 2021

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “ALL RISE ’21”, 25/11/2021
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
437 Fans

1. Marika Kobashi & Moka Miyamoto defeated Suzume & Arisu Endo when Kobashi pinned Endo with the Run-Up Bulldog Headlock (10:42).
2. Nao Kakuta, Haruna Neko & Mahiro Kiryu defeated Yuki Aino, Raku & Pom Harajuku when Neko pinned Harajuku with the Nekodebreaker (10:38).
3. Happy Lucky Quiz Rules: Yuki Kamifuku defeated Hyper Misao with a Crucifix Pin (10:08).
4. Shoko Nakajima defeated Nodoka Tenma with the Diving Senton (16:04).
5. Rika Tatsumi defeated Yuki Arai with the Figure 4 Leg Lock (13:54).
6. International Princess Title: Hikari Noa (c) defeated Miu Watanabe with the Blizzard Suplex (11:43).
*V4 for Hikari Noa.
7. Princess Tag Team Titles: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki (c) defeated Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh when Mizuki pinned Yamashita with the Cutie Special (24:17).
*V1 for The Magical Sugar Rabbits.

The final Korakuen Hall show for the year in Tokyo Joshi Pro saw The Magical Sugar Rabbits retain the Princess Tag Team Titles against 121000000. The battle came down to Mizuki and Miyu Yamashita in the final minutes. Yamashita had Maki Itoh on hand to set up team moves but Yuka Sakazaki was there to get rid of Itoh until she was struck down with the Skull Kick. It was all up to Mizuki from there and she had Yamashita on the ropes after hitting a release Cutie Special. Another Cutie Special this time with the bridge held got Mizuki the win and MagiRabi’s first successful defence in their latest reign.

When the beaten challengers were leaving the ring, Mizuki called for Yamashita to come back. She said she was able to win today with Sakazaki’s help. She also brought up that it’s been a year since she she decided to join TJPW full time. She loves TJPW and wants to carry the company on her back for the sake of everyone who supports her. So although she hates fighting against Yamashita, she wants to challenge her for the Princess Of Princess Title! How could Yamashita refuse? She accepted the challenge and wants the match to happen on the 4th January Korakuen show! Mizuki was warned that the title is not easy to win because Yamashita will never let go of the belt. Sakazaki encouraged Mizuki to commit to the challenge because she is amazing. Later in the night Itoh made a request to Yamashita to put 121000000 on hold for the time being. The team is not splitting up, they are just on a break so Itoh can review her wrestling ability on her own. They will team again when she is ready.

Hikari Noa has broken out of the Up Up Girls hierarchy with her latest International Princess Title defence. She has now beaten both of her Up Up partners as champion and also now has the record for most IP Title defences! Miu Watanabe threw all her best moves including using the Laserbeam to block a Dropkick. Noa had to use the Blizzard Suplex off the top rope to cause the big shift in the match before pinning Watanabe with the regular Blizzard Suplex. One of Watanabe’s favorite idols once said hard work always pays off. The lesson Watanabe learned today is training hard is not the same as working hard. Noa called the match the toughest battle she ever had. The longer she holds onto the belt the more she doesn’t want to let it go. It puts more pressure on her but she isn’t afraid of anything anymore. Which is why she wants TJPW to have a championship that will allow her to have deathmatches! She’s annoyed that Hyper Misao gets to have a Hardcore Match in DDT next month instead of her but she at least appreciates the roster is becoming more open to doing that style.

The rookie Yuki Arai has made it her goal to wrestle against her seniors and do her best against them. That was proven today with her match against Rika Tatsumi. The veteran had the smart gameplan to work over Arai’s leg, forcing the idol to get desperate and risk fighting at a faster pace. But Arai put Tatsumi is danger with a deep Sleeper Hold she wouldn’t let go of until Tatsumi reached the ropes. Targeting the leg then paid off for Tatsumi when she dodged the Finally, took Arai down with a Dragon Screw and made her tap out to the Figure 4 Leg Lock. Tatsumi said by winning through determination she could feel both her own passion and also Arai’s spirit in the ring. She previously talked about being a spark that will cause a big bang and will leave it up to the fans to think if they saw it today. Arai feels a sense of accomplishment despite losing. It was a great experience and one she thinks might change her life. Tatsumi wants to fight her again when she is stronger. She thinks she will still beat her then, of course.

Last week Nodoka Tenma pinned Shoko Nakajima in the 10-Woman Tag match. She wasn’t able to repeat the result here. The closest she came was with a Lift-Up Back Flip but she couldn’t hit the Killswitch when she needed to. Nakajima recovered, hit the Double Arm DDT and won with the Diving Senton.

There was change in roles for Match #3. Yuki Kamifuku hates it whenever Hyper Misao makes new rules for her matches, so she came up with a new match of her own to give her a taste of her own medicine. The Happy Lucky Quiz had Kamifuku and Misao answering trivia questions. The first to get three correct would win. All of the questions were about Kamifuku and her family so the quiz turned out to be heavily rigged in her favour. When Misao started complaining, Kamifuku attacked her and a proper match broke out. Well I say proper but it ended up with both women spraying each other in the face with disinfectant. There was a scramble for pins and Kamifuku got the three count in the end with a Crucifix style cradle.

A rare result happened early in the show. Haruna Neko directly won a match! Maybe she’s finally figuring out how to put it all together. Yuki Aino, Nao Kakuta, Raku and Mahiro Kiryu did their things while Neko fought off Pom Harajuku. Neko rolled her way into hitting the Nekodebreaker to get the three count.

The Run-Up Bulldog Headlock is quickly becoming an effective finisher for Marika Kobashi. She was in trouble going against Suzume & Arisu Endo’s teamwork but Moka Miyamoto stood up to keep the match level. Suzume got rid of Miyamoto with a Facecrusher but Endo could not seal the deal on her own. That was when Kobashi pulled out the Bulldog for the victory.

The return of Toyko Joshi Pro’s fan club show featured a lot of unusual matches. The main event had all the wrestlers wearing different costumes from the TJPW roster. They were randomly chosen at the start of the show by picking mystery bags left in the ring. Mizuki wore Yuka Sakazaki’s gear, Rika Tatsumi was dressed as Nodoka Tenma, Marika Kobashi got Shoko Nakajima’s costume and to finish it off Pom Harajuku appeared as Miyu Yamashita. Everyone tried to copy the wrestlers they were dressed as.

Instead of having a wrestling match Yuka Sakazaki and Nao Kakuta took part in an Athletic Meet. They faced each other in three games. The first was an obstacle course where they had to spin around in circles, bite a piece of bread hanging over their heads, search for a piece of candy hidden in a plate of powder using only their mouths and then run a lap around the ring. Sakazaki won that race and earned 10 points. The 2nd game was a Three-legged Race with Sakazaki teaming with Suzume and Kakuta teaming with Moka Miyamoto. They all had to race out of the venue to the nearby shop, buy something Daisuke Kiso would like for less than 500 yen and make it back to the venue first. Bonus points were given based on how much Kiso liked his gift. Kakuta & Miyamoto won the race and bought a can of beer for Kiso (Sakazaki & Suzume got protein milk). Kakuta was given 9 points out of 10. She was deducted one point because the beer wasn’t Kiso’s favourite flavour. The final game worth 30 points was a Horse Fight. One team lifted Sakazaki onto their shoulders and another lifted up Kakuta. They had to fight in the air and grab their opponent’s hat from their head to win. Sakazaki got to grab Kakuta’s hat first, winning both the round and the entire match.

On the morning of the show, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino had an accident where they fell and hit their heads. The result was both of them had personality changes and turned into a bunch of delinquents! They trapped Daisuke Kiso in the corner with tape and threatened him with a knife! Hyper Misao couldn’t fight them off by herself so she called for another superhero to help her. It was The Return Of Ultra Shoko to the rescue! Together they defeated The Bakuretsu Sisters and turned them back to normal. But it wasn’t entirely a heroic situation. Tenma held Kiso hostage again but Shoko decided to ignore it. She told the “middle aged man” Kiso to die for justice so she could hit the Ultra 619 on Aino and win the match. Sacrificing captives isn’t the right thing for superheroes to do but it got results so what do I know?

Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku both sang “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” for their entrance. After they defeated Mirai Maiumi & Kaya Toribami, Itoh said she is going to win the Princess Of Princess Title at Ota Ward Gymnasium.

Miyu Yamashita wore her old costume to fit in with The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) more. She was the “Hot Pink” member of the group today. Together they sang “Upper Kick” to open the show. When it was time to wrestle, the other members had to remind Yamashita she is an idol and couldn’t act aggressive. She got back into character and was still able to win the match for her team.
