1. Suzume defeated Haruna Neko with the Ring A Bell (7:53).
2. Miu Watanabe defeated Kaya Toribami with the Canadian Backbreaker (5:04).

4. Hyper Misao, Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino defeated Hikari Noa, Nao Kakuta & Raku when Misao pinned Raku with the Hypami Returns (10:18).
5. 2nd “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart Tournament – Round 1: Moka Miyamoto & Yuki Arai defeated Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Arai pinned Harajuku with the Finally (13:39).
6. Kobe Special 6-Woman Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Shoko Nakajima defeated Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Yuki Kamifuku when Mizuki pinned Kamifuku with the Diving Foot Stomp (14:50).

Mizuki bounced back from her Ittenyon failure by becoming the hometown hero in Kobe and winning the main event for her team. She told the fans she felt pretty depressed after losing the Princess Of Princess Title match but getting able to wrestle in Kobe today made her feel like she blew all of her problems away. Shoko Nakajima had no problem teaming with The Magical Sugar Rabbits but they will be opponents in the Max Heart Tournament the next time they are in the ring together. Nakajima said she played with a lot of toys at the beginning of the year and she learned her tag partner Hyper Misao is an unbreakable one. Nakajima wants to be unbreakable too so Kyoraku Kyomei are aiming to go all the way. 121000000 are also aiming to win after reaching the final last year. Even though Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh already have the singles championships, they still think they have to get stronger as a tag team. Yuki Kamifuku is waiting on her drinking buddy Asuka to arrive before she plans anything for the tournament.

In terms of experience levels the Max Heart tournament already kicked off with an upset. Moka Miyamoto & Yuki Arai eliminated Pom Harajuku & Mahiro Kiryu in the opening round. The two rookies have been regular opponents against each other but joined forces to enter the tournament. It is already paying off but Arai doesn’t want to stop here. Miyamoto also wants to keep advancing but knows it will be a difficult task with Suzume & Arisu Endo as the next opponents.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “GRAND PRINCESS ’22”, 19/03/2022
Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

1. Juria Nagano Debut Match: Juria Nagano Vs X
2. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) Vs Shoko Nakajima

In Miyu Yamashita’s mind there is only one person she should main event Sumo Hall against TJPW’s biggest show ever. She chose Shoko Nakajima. The two are the longest serving members of the TJPW roster and both made their official pro wrestling debut at the same time. It was on 17th August, 2013 at Sumo Hall. There isn’t a match-up more fitting.

The pro wrestling debut of Juria Nagano will also be on the show. Nagano was born in Shimane on 10th February, 1996. She is 159cm tall and has a 2nd black belt in Shito-ryu Karate. She also works as an action actress as well as a nurse. Sanshiro Takagi scouted her for TJPW and she is currently deep into her preparations for her debut.

7. Princess Of Princess Title: Miyu Yamashita (c) defeated Mizuki with the Crash Rabbit Heat (19:12).
*V4 for Miyu Yamashita.

Tokyo Joshi Pro kicked off their 2022 in Korakuen Hall for their 7th annual Ittenyon show. In the main event Miyu Yamashita put the Princess Of Princess Title on the line against Mizuki. The champion went big by using an Avalanche Attitude Adjustment while Mizuki fought back with Diving Foot Stomps both in and outside the ring. The Whirling Candy was also used but Mizuki just couldn’t find the opening to win. She was able to stop the Crash Rabbit Heat from happening but Yamashita then went on the defensive and blocked the Cutie Special. Once the Skull Kick found its mark, Yamashita followed up with two Crash Rabbit Heats to win the match and remain champion.

Yamashita thanked Mizuki for the match and said she is very special for TJPW. For that reason she wants to fight her again and continue working together. Mizuki tearfully shook Yamashita’s hand and left the ring quietly with Yuka Sakazaki. Yamashita then turned her attention to “GRAND PRINCESS ’22” at Sumo Hall on 19th March. There is only one person she wants to defend the title against that day. Shoko Nakajima! She walked out and told Yamashita she’s been ready for a long time. They both had their official debut match on a DDT pre-show in Sumo Hall back in 2013 so they both grew up as wrestlers together. For them to main even the same building is a dream come true. But Nakajima will aim to go beyond the dream and become the new Princess Champion!

In a rematch from two years ago, Maki Itoh has reclaimed the International Princess Title from Hikari Noa! The match spread out of the ring a couple of times where Itoh Body Slammed Noa onto a pile of chairs and later gave her a Hangman DDT onto the floor. Noa used a rope break to escape from the Itoh Punish and hit her with the Blizzard Suplex and Super Kick. But Itoh showed her guts and stuck up the middle finger to show she wasn’t beaten yet. The two fought up to the top rope where Itoh dropped Noa with another big DDT. That was the beginning of the end and Itoh made Noa tap to the Itoh Deluxe for the title change! Now that Itoh is the IP Champion again, she wants to go back to AEW and defend it against the woman she originally lost it to… Thunder Rosa! She also wants to fight Orange Cassidy for some reason. Noa is upset over the result because she thought she was the best fit for the IP Title. She also now doesn’t have anything to protect. Once again she’s lost another partner.

The rookie of the year Yuki Arai showed off some new moves against Yuka Sakazaki including a Sharpshooter! The match was minutes away from reaching its time limit when Sakazaki caught her opponent with the Magical Merry-Go-Round to get the win. She was full of praise for Arai afterwards. “Guts, seriousness, politeness, cuteness, Yuki Arai has it all. She is a stone that will become a diamond.” While Arai appreciates the praise she gets after every match, she knows it won’t make her stronger. She wants to expand her moveset and grow even more so she won’t lose her confidence.

Nodoka Tenma took the old costume out of the closet to become Nodoka-oneesan one last time before she graduates from TJPW this March. Before the match began she reminded the audience (and Haruna Neko) to sleep well, live long and eat their vegetables before leading everyone into the Ping Pong Pang Exercise dance. Raku & Pom Harajuku were enthusiastic for it, Harajuku in particular which led to Nodoka talking to her after the match. Since Nodoka-oneesan is going away, Pom Harajuku can take her place! After all the original plan for Harajuku when she debuted was to be the new version of that gimmick but she ended up turning into something of her own creation. Harajuku turned her offer down because she’s having too much fun as a “3 year old”, leaving Nodoka to cry next to Yuki Aino backstage. Marika Kobashi cheered her up by saying she could sense Tenma’s pride as Nodoka-oneesan shine through.

The team of Yuki Kamifuku & Nao Kakuta walked down to the ring wearing Uma Musume inspired shirts and headgear. They called their tag team Uma x3 (pronounced “Uma baba”). There was no horseplay against Daydream when the bell rang though. Kamifuku hit a Double Famouser to Daydream but they recovered. Rika Tatsumi got rid of Kakuta while Miu Watanabe stood toe to toe with Kamifuku. Another Famouser was avoided this time and Watanabe pinned Kamifuku with the Tear Drop. Tatsumi described the match as a nightmare where they had to fight a horse racing tag team. She thinks the fans saw it as a good daydream though.

For the third year in a row Shoko Nakajima and Hyper Misao faced off in a wacky stipulation match where their entire identities were put on the line. This time a stuffed Tiger Cub toy was held above the ring and the first woman to climb the ladder and grab it would win. Nakajima emptied a box of Godzilla toys all over the ring while Misao emptied a box of gacha balls making every bump in the ring even more dangerous. The end came when Nakajima hit a 619, Double Arm DDT and then the Diving Senton from the ladder. She then climbed back up to grab the Tiger Cub and win. The stipulation allowed Nakajima to rename Misao for a month but she declined to do so. The Max Heart Tournament is beginning later this week and Kyoraku Kyomei are entering it together. She thinks giving Misao a new temporary gimmick would only get in the way because both of them want to win the tournament.

On this day one year ago Arisu Endo had her debut match. Today she picked up her first win! Endo and Moka Miyamoto were the focus for the final few minutes of the opener. Endo hit Miyamoto with the Tsuruma Castle Knee Drop and then a Waterwheel Drop. She finished her off with a Modified Camel Clutch to get her 2022 off to a fantastic start. Suzume was Endo’s opponent for her debut and was happy to be her tag partner for her first win. She weirdly feels proud like a parent. Mahiro Kiryu was disappointed not to win her first match of the year while Miyamoto swore revenge on Endo for losing to her this way.

The newest addition to the TJPW introduced herself at the start of the show. Juria Nagano is a former world champion karate fighter with a 2nd black belt in Shito-ryu. She is currently active as both an actress and a nurse and has also gotten viral on TikTok. Nagano announced she will have her debut pro wrestling match at Sumo Hall on 19th March. She said she would like to make full use of her skills to liven up TJPW.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “DASH! GLIDE! NAGOYA CASTLE!”, 18/12/2021
Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall
536 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Suzume defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Ring A Bell (7:29).
2. Hikari Noa, Raku & Arisu Endo defeated Pom Harajuku, Haruna Neko & Mahiro Kiryu when Noa pinned Harajuku with the Blizzard Suplex (10:32).
3. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Marika Kobashi with the Famouser (8:30).
4. Maki Itoh defeated Nao Kakuta with the Itoh Deluxe (10:35).
5. Special 4 Way Tag Match: Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Shoko Nakajima & Hyper Misao, Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe and Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino when Sakazaki pinned Watanabe with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (12:04).
6. Special Single Match: Miyu Yamashita defeated Yuki Arai with the Skull Kick (11:12).

A big week for Yuki Arai ended with her headlining a big Tokyo Joshi Pro show in Nagoya against Miyu Yamashita. The Best Rookie Award winner performed twice on today’s show, also taking part in a musical number with other members of SKE48. In the match Arai escaped from Yamashita’s Attitude Adjustment and threw her down with the Full Nelson Buster. She went behind Yamashita and hit Finally to the back of her head. But Yamashita turned the tables with a High Kick and won the match using the Skull Kick.

After the match Yamashita said Arai isn’t afraid or hesitant and it clearly shows when she is in the ring. She still can’t beat Yamashita yet but they both know this isn’t the end between them. Yamashita encouraged Arai to get stronger and they will fight again. Arai thought this was a once in a lifetime match but she doesn’t blame Yamashita for wanting to do it again. She ended the show telling everyone she is addicted to TJPW and will do her best to one day beat Yamashita!

Yuki Kamifuku paused her match with Marika Kobashi midway through so she could read a goodbye letter she wrote for her. Sad music began playing but was then interrupted with a rap beat. Turns out it wasn’t a goodbye song, it was a diss track! Kobashi joined in with her own rap until Kamifuku attacked her and the match continued.

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.

1. Yuka Sakazaki defeated Pom Harajuku with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (8:14).
2. 3 Way Match: Shoko Nakajima defeated Raku and Arisu Endo when Nakajima pinned Endo with the Northern Lights Suplex (7:39).
3. Hyper Misao & Miu Watanabe defeated Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu when Watanabe pinned Kiryu with the Tear Drop (10:22).
4. Mizuki, Hikari Noa & Marika Kobashi defeated Nodoka Tenma, Nao Kakuta & Haruna Neko when Noa pinned Neko with the Blizzard Suplex (12:46).
5. Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Suzume defeated Rika Tatsumi, Yuki Aino & Moka Miyamoto when Itoh submitted Miyamoto with the Itoh Punish (17:02).

With two days to go until the Korakuen Hall show, 121000000 are ready to beat The Magical Sugar Rabbits and win the Princess Tag Team Titles. If they do win, Maki Itoh promises to bring Miyu Yamashita somewhere to celebrate. She also joked that Suzume is cuter than Yamashita which crushed Yamashita’s spirits.

Some mind games are being played between Yuki Kamifuku and Hyper Misao. Kamifuku knows that Misao hates dance music so she made the sound team play loud club songs over the speakers. Luckily for Misao, Miu Watanabe quickly made her way over to the music guy and politely asked him to turn it down. She also got the pin on Mahiro Kiryu so the result gives Misao an edge over Kamifuku for their Korakuen Hall singles match.

Pom Harajuku came up with a cunning plan for her 3rd Anniversary match. She entered the ring wearing a referee uniform identical to Daisuke Kiso. She then put on a cardboard mask of Kiso’s face and forced Kiso to wear a costume of herself. Yuka Sakazaki came out and thought Kiso was Harajuku so she wrestled him while Harajuku was disguised as the ref until it was time to ambush her opponent. While the plan did work, the time came for Harajuku to fight Sakazaki fairly and Sakazaki won out in the end.

The last day of the group stages is coming down to the wire in both blocks. If Tetsuya Endo wins the main event or it ends in a draw then he qualifies for the final. I think if Yuki Ueno wins he will go straight to the final because he will get the Head To Head tiebreakers over Endo and Yuji Hino. Where it gets confusing is if Jun Akiyama or Bodyguard also wins and we end up with a four way tie. I guess it would still be Ueno because he will have two Head To Head wins in this bubble and the others will just have one. Does that come into effect with Bodyguard thought because he already beat Ueno? Oh my head hurts.

The B Block is more simpler. The race is between Konosuke Takeshita and Yuji Okabayashi who are both unbeaten. If they still end up with the same points after their matches then a sudden death tiebreaker must take place. Their previous match was a draw so there is no other way to determine who goes through (I think there was a G1 that used total match times as a tiebreaker one year but we’re getting too far into the weeds at this point).

Kenta Kobashi and Tetsu Inada will be at the show. Maybe they can figure out the tiebreakers.

Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall

2. KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles – Current Blast Death Match: Danshoku “Dandy” Dieno, Yuki “Sexy” Iino & Yumehito “Fantastic” Imanari (c) Vs Atsushi Onita, Sanshiro Takagi & Kuro-chan

The feud between Sanshiro Takagi and Pheromones is reaching extreme levels. A team was needed to take on Takagi, Atsushi Onita & Kuro-chan in the Current Blast Death Match so the challenge was thrown out for Pheromones to put the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles on the line!

Last time Toru Owashi invited a DRAGONGATE wrestler over to a DDT show in Nagoya it worked out pretty well. He’s doing it again by booking Susumu Yokosuka to team with him and Kazuki Hirata. Bet Yokosuka is thrilled, we all know about his dancing efforts. This will be his first time in DDT proper if you ignore the Dramatic Dream Gate shows from 2007 and 2008.
