3. Marika Kobashi defeated Moka Miyamoto with the Front Neck Lock (6:05).
4. Yuki Kamifuku defeated Raku with the Famouser (7:54).
5. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Itoh defeated Yuka Sakazaki & Pom Harajuku when Yamashita pinned Harajuku with the Skull Kick (11:44).
Unless they cross paths at “TJPW PPV SHOW 4” next week, today was the last preview of Miyu Yamashita Vs Yuka Sakazaki before the “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021”. Here, Maki Itoh did her job to cut off Sakazaki so Yamashita could get the pin on Pom Harajuku. After the match Itoh told the fans that Tokyo Joshi Pro will stand out more against DDT, NOAH and Ganbare☆Pro at Saitama Super Arena.
Raku spent the beginning of her match hiding from Yuki Kamifuku, sneaking under the ring and behind the referee to keep out of her opponent’s sight. Kamifuku later used her own version of the Good Night Express to get her own back on Raku.
It was announced that the next “TJPW INSPIRATION” event on 1st July will be headlined by Miyu Yamashita Vs Mirai Maiumi in a UWF Rules match.

The night time show concluded with Shoko Nakajima & Yuki Aino beating Miu Watanabe & Suzume then thanking the fans for attending. They were amazed to see many in the audience attended both shows today. They repeated the earlier point that TJPW will be second to none at Saitama Super Arena!
Sayuri Namba had to explain the special rules for Hyper Misao Vs Nodoka Tenma. They took part in three matches. The first match had Two Count Fall rules. When somebody won with a Two Count they then had to play charades with Daisuke Kiso. If Kiso guessed their gesture correctly then the woman wins the match. Misao tried to do “Pudding” but Kiso guessed wrong. Tenma had to do “Octopus” but Kiso got it right, so Tenma got the point. The second game had the same Two Count Fall but then the winner had to correctly answer a question about TJPW. Tenma was asked where did Rika Tatsumi’s debut match take place? She knew it was in Shibuya but couldn’t remember the name of the building. Misao then got a pin and correctly answered Shibuya Entertainment Stage to even the score. The final fall had both women drink a glass of vinegar then wrestle under 1 Count Rules. Misao won the round and the match with La Magistral Cradle.
Shoko Nakajima and Rika Tatsumi were revealed as the captains for the two teams competing in “TJPW PPV SHOW 4” next week. Nakajima doesn’t understand how the Summer Vs Winter theme is any different from the Red Vs White concept from the previous PPV. Tatsumi is upset that Mizuki is not on her team.

5. Yuka Sakazaki, Mizuki & Marika Kobashi defeated Miyu Yamashita, Maki Itoh & Raku when Sakazaki pinned Raku with the Magical Merry-Go-Round (13:47).
Yuka Sakazaki strikes the first blow against Miyu Yamashita on the road to “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021”. She has Mizuki supporting her quest to win back the Princess Of Princess Title too. Yamashita says she is still in good shape after yesterday’s big win but Sakazaki was still very strong. They’ve known each other for so long that Sakazaki has a read on her. All Yamashita can do for now is make sure she feels in good shape until 6th June. She doesn’t have any other plan because it is unknown how many more times they can wrestle during the current state of emergency in Tokyo.
Hikari Noa hasn’t gotten used to being a champion yet. It didn’t register with her until she was ready to go home yesterday and she noticed her carry-on case was heavier than usual. The extra weight from it was when she realized she is a champion now.
So far Arisu Endo is enjoying being a pro wrestler. Hyper Misao decided to teach her more ways to have fun in the ring. She told Endo that one of the most exciting things about wrestling is learning how to break the rules behind the referee’s back! Misao used the match to demonstrate how she can get away with choking her opponents with her cloak and blinding them with cold spray. Endo tried to copy her but was easily caught by the ref. Endo then attempted to pull off the turnbuckle pads but couldn’t figure out how to untie them. She did figure out how to cheap shot Nodoka Tenma by offering her a handshake but her follow up attack was still easily blocked. Misao & Shoko Nakajima brought the team back to action by taking out Yuki Kamifuku but Endo couldn’t capitalize and was pinned by Yuki Aino.

As Tokyo Joshi Pro heads on the long journey to “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021”, the landscape went through a big shift inside an empty Korakuen Hall today. Miyu Yamashita is now a 3 time Princess Of Princess Champion after she won it from Rika Tatsumi. She got a big hit in early with a High Kick. Tatsumi recovered to take control with Hip Attacks and submission holds. A back and forth saw kickouts to both the Attitude Adjustment and the Twist Of Fate. Tatsumi thought she had her opponent worn out with the Dragon Sleeper so she climbed the turnbuckle for the Missile Hips. Yamashita surprised her by catching her with a block and following through with a German Suplex. Tatsumi tried to stay in the fight by throwing more Hip Attacks until Yamashita knocked her silly with the Skull Kick. Tatsumi was able to kick out of the pin but another Skull Kick followed by the Crash Rabbit Heat brought the end to her title reign.
Yamashita herself was a little light headed after the match and needed confirmation from Maki Itoh at ringside to register that she won the match. She is sad that there were no fans in Korakuen today but is happy that they got to watch her on their screens at home. She invited Yuka Sakazaki into the ring to confirm they will face each other for the Princess Title at Saitama Super Arena on 6th June. Sakazaki calls it the match to determine the strongest in TJPW, and she’s going to win. Yamashita hopes the match will happen in front of a big audience so she’ll become even stronger as a champion.
NEO Biishiki-gun had their hands full against BeeStar in their first Princess Tag Team Titles defence. Mei Saint-Michel had her fun bullying Suzume until Suzume Dropkicked the silver tray into Saint-Michel’s chest. Mirai Maiumi sent the champs packing with a Double Lariat and then held them outside the ring for Suzume to dive onto them. Back in the ring Suzume went to do the Ring A Bell but Saint-Michel pushed her into Sakisama for a Big Boot. They then did the Tarte Tatin but Suzume kicked out at two. Sakisama got rid of Mirai with a High Kick which meant there was no one to rescue Suzume from giving up to the Saint-Michel. BeeStar may have earned a little bit of Sakisama’s respect though. She didn’t remember them before but today she learned who they are. They will have to give NEO Biishiki-gun thousands of reasons why they deserve a rematch but Sakisama will give them another go if she ever feel likes it.
The big upset of the day came when Hikari Noa beat Yuki Kamifuku to win the International Princess Title! Noa brought the fight out of the ring where Kamifuku was thrown into the ring post. Chairs were piled up on the floor but it was Kamifuku who slammed Noa onto them. Kamifuku caused more damage using chairs before the match went back to the ring. The match took a lot out of both wrestlers. Kamifuku climbed the ropes but Noa caught up with her to hit a Modified Avalanche Uranage. Back on their feet, Noa then hit the Blizzard Suplex for the three count, winning her first championship in her career. Backstage Kamifuku admitted that today Noa was a proper idol. She didn’t wear colored contact lenses and her concert performance at the start of the show was sharp. Kamifuku lost her title but thinks she is about to graduate into something bigger. She will become the Fujiko Mine of Fujisawa! Noa had a lot on her mind after winning the title. Her original tag team partner was the first champion and she was never able to have a title match against her. Then her most recent tag partner Sena Shiori said she wanted to see Noa win the title. Noa now wonders if this is her next step in becoming the Best Death Match Queen in the world. Whatever happens to her next, she wants to dye the IP Title in her colours and not the colour of Kamifuku.
Sakazaki won the 3 Way Match to become the No. 1 Contender, besting both Mizuki and Shoko Nakajima. At first The Magical Sugar Rabbits worked together but Mizuki broke the link by attacking Sakazaki when the chance presented itself. Mizuki and Nakajima then worked together to go 2-on-1 against Sakazaki. The loop was completed when The Miraclians helped each other out against Mizuki. A big scramble of finishers at the end had Nakajima give Mizuki the Northern Lights Suplex. But Sakazaki snuck in and pinned Nakajima with the Koromogawa to take the victory and book her place in Saitama Super Arena.
The debuting Yuki Arai started off her tag match with Arisu Endo but it was only a matter of time until she faced Maki Itoh. Obviously Arai was fighting from the bottom against those two but had Miu Watanabe there to keep things even. Watanabe distracted Itoh long enough for Arai to dodge the Flying Big Head. Arai then hit her signature moved, the Kakato Otoshi axe kick that she calls Finally (named after the SKE48 song). Endo broke the count so Arai went to do the move again. Itoh dodged it this time and Headbutted the rookie. She then planted her with a DDT and got her to tap to the Itoh Deluxe. Itoh called Arai weak after the match but also told her there are still fans watching at home who got courage from her performance. This isn’t Yuki Arai the SKE48 idol, it is Yuki Arai the pro wrestler! It doesn’t matter how many years it takes, Itoh is encouraging Arai to come and crush her because Itoh will crush Arai as many times as she wants!
Hyper Misao revealed that she and The Bakuretsu Sisters are the Tojo Tokusatsu Club and they prepared a secret plan called Formation A. It was supposed to be a combined attack when Nodoka Tenma & Yuki Aino carried Misao over their heads but it collapsed in failure. Raku then did the Good Night Express with Nao Kakuta & Marika Kobashi for added insult. The Tokusatsu Club regained their senses to win the match. After all, Tokyo Dome City is a sacred place not just for pro wrestling but for superheroes too.
Moka Miyamoto is still searching for her first win, roping in Mahiro Kiryu to help her. She put Pom Harajuku in the Cobra Twist but Haruna Neko broke the hold. Miyamoto then hit a Zero Fighter Kick for another nearfall. Harajuku turned the tables with a Dropkick and won with the Pom Do Justice.
It was an empty arena show but The Up Up Girls (Pro Wrestling) still performed their show opening act.

1. Nodoka Tenma defeated Moka Miyamoto with a Diving Body Press from the 2nd Rope (6:43).
2. Mirai Maiumi & Suzume defeated Maki Itoh & Arisu Endo when Maiumi pinned Endo with a Back Drop (12:59).
3. CHOICE & CHANCE Rules: Nao Kakuta defeated Hyper Misao with a School Boy (7:57).
4. Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki defeated Shoko Nakajima & Haruna Neko when Sakazaki pinned Neko with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster (13:44).
5. Hikari Noa, Raku & Pom Harajuku defeated Yuki Kamifuku, Yuki Aino & Mahiro Kiryu when Noa pinned Kiryu with the Blizzard Suplex (10:44).
6. Rika Tatsumi & Miu Watanabe defeated Miyu Yamashita & Marika Kobashi when Tatsumi submitted Kobashi with the White Dragon Sleeper (12:27).
Rika Tatsumi got the better of Miyu Yamashita in their final warm up match before Tuesday’s Princess Of Princess Title bout. The final moments of the main event saw Tatsumi and Marika Kobashi as the legal wrestlers. Yamashita attacked Miu Watanabe for cutting off Kobashi’s Guillotine Choke. Tatsumi then got her hands on Yamashita and gave her the Twist Of Fate hanging through the ropes onto the apron. From there Tatsumi put Kobashi in a Dragon Sleeper and turned it into the White Dragon variation for the submission victory. Tatsumi told the fans watching at home she will fight to blow away everyone’s loneliness, so please support her. Yamashita was only able to get one kick in against the champion and now has a damaged neck going into the title match.
At the beginning of the show, Yuki Kamifuku entered the ring after the Up Up Girls opening performance. She threw insults at Hikari Noa, calling her a super unmotivated fake idol. Then she said she would be the better “Blue” member of the Up Up Girls. Noa didn’t want to argue with her so she left the ring with the rest of the unit. Kamifuku then sang “Startin'” by Ayumi Hamasaki in the ring by herself. Noa’s team beat Kamifuku’s team later in the show and Noa offered her a handshake after the match. Kamifuku didn’t respond and left the ring.
The Magical Sugar Rabbits tortured Shoko Nakajima & Haruna Neko by constantly pulling on their tails and tying them together. A crack then appeared in their teamwork when Sakazaki’s Sliding Lariat to Nakajima missed and hit Mizuki instead. Magirabi still won the match and Sakazaki apologized to her partner afterwards. Mizuki pulled a rude face at Sakazaki and left the ring without her.
The match between Hyper Misao and Nao Kakuta was held under CHOICE & CHANCE Rules. A button was placed on one of the turnbuckles. Whenever it was pressed the song “CHOICE & CHANCE” by Juice=Juice would play over the speakers. The match could then be won with 2 Count pinfalls whenever the song was playing. Misao came up with the special because she and Kakuta both debuted in 2015 and both had ACL injuries.

7. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) Vs Miyu Yamashita
The full card for the next Tokyo Joshi Pro show in Korakuen Hall is out and it now has big ramifications for “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021” in June. Whoever leaves the show as the Princess Of Princess Champion will defend the title in Saitama Super Arena against the winner of the 3 Way Match. Rika Tatsumi has never beaten Miyu Yamashita in a singles match. No matter what she did against her in those matches, Yamashita never broke. Tatsumi thinks Yamashita is not a human but a monster. The only way to beat a monster is to crush their head or punch them in the heart. That’s what she is thinking about going into Korakuen. Both champion and challenger would want the match to happen in front of an audience but they are sure fans will be cheering them on from their homes.
NEO Biishiki-gun aren’t taking too kind to BeeStar challenging them for the Princess Tag Team Titles. When BeeStar interrupted their celebration at Korakuen to ask for a title shot, Mei Saint-Michel froze on the spot. She hasn’t forgiven them for ruining her first title win ever since. Every time she looks at her championship, she sees the faces of Mirai Maiumi & Suzume staring back at her in plate’s reflection. Sakisama doesn’t understand where the challengers are getting their confidence from. They came from parts of Japan where nature is abundant so she thinks they must have been infected by the bad side of Tokyo. BeeStar say they are steadily evolving until 4th May and will get revenge for losing to NEO Biishiki-gun back in February.
Under normal circumstances, Hikari Noa does not have a positive win-loss record to qualify for a title match. However, she has received so much high praise from fans for her performance against Yamashita two weeks ago that Tetsuya Koda is rewarding her with a match against Yuki Kamifuku for the International Princess Title. He thinks Noa is fully qualified to get the title shot. This follows Sena Shiori’s departing comments about wanting to see her friend win a singles championship. Kamifuku has been defending the “Tiffany Blue” belt against locals on the roster. She wants to start defending it against international talent so she does not want to lose the title before that can happen. As the world battles against Covid-19, Noa will battle against Kamiyu-28!
The 3 Way Match consists of three of TJPW’s strongest, mashing together The Miraclians and The Magical Sugar Rabbits with only one standing tall in the end. Yuka Sakazaki wants to win back the Princess Title because she isn’t happy with how much the pandemic effected her previous reign. Shoko Nakajima wants to win back the title because she is more confident in herself now than back when she was the champion. Mizuki thinks she is a long way from becoming champion but winning the belt will get her to break out of her shell. All three of them don’t want to fight either Tatsumi or Yamashita which makes things awkward. Tatsumi would like to face Mizuki though.

5. KO-D Openweight Title: Jun Akiyama (c) Vs HARASHIMA
A series of pre-show bouts will be held before “CYBERFIGHT FESTIVAL 2021” kicks off. There will be four STARTING BATTLE matches mixing together wrestlers from DDT, NOAH, Tokyo Joshi Pro and Ganbare☆Pro. The “main event” of the pre-show is being provided by Ganpro. Ken Ohka is thrilled because both the main event and the opening match are the most important matches on a wrestling card. By that logic, adding the main event and the opening match together creates something that is super important!
One of the matches is a Royal Rumble with Yoshiaki Yatsu announced to be taking part. In 2019 Yatsu began wrestling with DDT during the build up to the Tokyo Olympics. Then in the summer Yatsu had to get his right foot amputated because of issues with diabetes. Then in March 2020 Yatsu announced his plans to come back to wrestling using a prosthetic foot specially designed by Kawamura Prosthetics Inc. for use in the ring. His scheduled return in June was called off when “WRESTLE PETER PAN 2020” was cancelled because of the pandemic. Since then Yatsu got to be an Olympic torchbearer in Ashikaga City. Now a year later Yatsu will get to complete his comeback by entering the STARTING BATTLE Rumble. Yatsu demonstrated his prosthetic foot by beating up Ken Ohka a bunch with wrestling moves during a press conference.
The Battle Royal will feature wrestlers from DDT and NOAH. The winner receives a Victory Award from CyberFight.

A ring full of idols will welcome Yuki Arai to the wrestling business. Arai already named Maki Itoh as a future opponent she wanted to wrestle. She also sees Arisu Endo as her closest senpai so it makes sense for those two to be her opponents. Miu Watanabe wants to bridge the gap between idols and wrestlers which makes her the perfect person for Arai to tag with. Arai promised she will do her best to get everyone’s approval. That kind of attitude doesn’t impress Itoh. She’ll see what Arai is like in the ring but she’s not excited about it.

Did you enjoy Konosuke Takeshita’s quick stay in AEW? I bet he’ll go back eventually. The timing suggests he is back in Japan now and self isolating before he can return to action in DDT. Waiting for him is his friends in The 37KAMIINA for a massive free for all against DAMNATION and Eruption plus former ally Yuki Iino.
The recent incident in America caused Kikutaro to lose his smile. It’s up to Danshoku Dieno and Antonio Honda to bring it back!

7. Princess Of Princess Title: Rika Tatsumi (c) defeated Maki Itoh with the Missile Hip (19:36). *V2 for Rika Tatsumi.
The middle fingers went a flying in the Princess Of Princess Title match. When Maki Itoh attempted to apply the Itoh Special, Rika Tatsumi gave her the finger. Itoh bit it so Tatsumi gave her the finger with her other hand only for Itoh to bite that too. The distraction threw Itoh off her game anyway and Tatsumi caught her in the Dragon Sleeper. Itoh survived being choked out by raising her own middle fingers into the air. She had a last gasp at victory by rolling Tatsumi into the Itoh Royal but only got a two count out of it. Tatsumi used a Hip Attack to cut off her opponent’s momentum. She then hit the Twist Of Fate and pinned Itoh with the Missile Hip from the top rope.
Tatsumi praised Itoh for her efforts and asked her to come back for a fist bump. Itoh stuck her middle finger in Tatsumi’s face instead and left. Tatsumi then called for Miyu Yamashita’s attention. Three years ago Yamashita gave her a title shot in the main event of Korakuen Hall during Golden Week. Tatsumi couldn’t beat her then but things are different now. She wants to be the strongest champion and to do that she needs to beat the strongest challengers. That means Tatsumi wants to defend the belt against Yamashita next! She asked if Yamashita is prepared to take the challenge? Yamashita responded by slapping Tatsumi across the face. Tatsumi slapped her back and said their title match will happen on the 4th May Korakuen show.
The first “Futari wa Princess” Max Heart winners barely won the Princess Tag Team Titles by the skin of their teeth. The Bakuretsu Sisters did the smart thing by getting rid of Sakisama. That was set up when Yuki Aino blocked Sakisama’s Apron PK and held her on her shoulders so Nodoka Tenma could his the Bakuretsu Bulldog onto the floor. That left Mei Saint-Michel scrambling to continue fighting by herself. Tenma gave her the Killswitch and it looked to be all over. However, Saint-Michel suddenly Cradled Tenma and got the three count for the shock result.
Sakisama asked Saint-Michel how she was feeling now they are the champions? “C’est bien!” Now that she has her own championship belt that matches with Sakisama’s, she thinks she has achieved her goal of becoming a fully fledged maid! Suddenly, BeeStar entered the ring to cut off her victory speech, causing Saint-Michel to freeze on the spot. Mirai Maiumi apologized for the interruption but she wants to challenge NEO Biishiki-gun for the Princess Tag Titles. Suzume admitted they’ve been beaten by the new champions before but they are not the same now as they were back then. BeeStar will beat them to evolve even more! Sakisama told BeeStar she doesn’t remember who they are. She also doesn’t have time right now because she is very busy playing the new Monster Hunter. So Sakisama is giving BeeStar two weeks to improve because they will get their title match on 4th May.
With three defences achieved, Yuki Kamifuku now has the most successful International Princess Title run in the championship’s short history. Her grudge with Nao Kakuta over glamour against normality has also been settled with today’s result. Kakuta’s attempt to use her Shiden Kai finisher was countered into the Famouser. Kamifuku also used her long legs to fight out of a Crossface Lock, hit a Dropkick and used another Famouser to get the win. They shook hands and Kakuta told the press afterwards that during the handshake Kamifuku quietly apologized for calling her ugly.
BeeStar were the last team standing in Tokyo Joshi Pro’s first ever 3 Way Tag Match. The rules put in place allowed no tags so it was more of a tornado tag team affair. To make things even more unusual, the Kyoraku Kyomei team had a difference of opinion that led to Hyper Misao offering to team with The Magical Sugar Rabbits while Shoko Nakajima wanted to side with BeeStar. It turned out to be a trick and the two were still together all along. The match was frantic with different pairings going at it. BeeStar got rid of MagiRabi when Maiumi hit Yuka Sakazaki & Mizuki with a Double Lariat. Nakajima grabbed Suzume for the Northern Lights Suplex but that left her vulnerable for Maiumi to hit her with the Lariat and win the match.
Hikari Noa still has a lot to learn if she wants to beat the likes of Yamashita. She’s gotten stronger by having the Hardcore Match a while ago but was a bit too eager to charge into a Front Kick at the corner. That gave Yamashita the opening to hit the Skull Kick.
Raku getting the win for her team turned out to be special because today is her mother’s birthday. Both Miu Watanabe & Pom Harajuku sang “Happy Birthday to Raku-chan’s mom” backstage when she told them about it. Yuna Manase motivated Mahiro Kiryu & Haruna Neko to continue doing their best even though they lost. Even though Manase is in a different promotion now, she is still watching over TJPW and wants everyone to meet her expectations.
The opening match saw Sena Shiori earn her first victory with a new submission move. The Checkmate is an Arm Clutch Half Crab Hold and Shiori made Moka Miyamoto submit to it. It is a move Shiori has been thinking about because using a normal Crab Hold wasn’t working for her. She thanked Marika Kobashi for teaming with her and said it is really encouraging to work with Kobashi. Both Miyamoto and Arisu Endo are left waiting for another day to get their first win.
Yuki Arai introduced herself to the fans at the start of the show. She is still worried about her debut wrestling match on 4th May while also working as an idol. She wants to grow from here so everyone can say her debut match was a success.
The 2021 Tokyo Princess Cup will be held across multiple shows during the summer. The first two rounds will be held at Shin-Kiba 1st RING from 22nd to 25th July. The quarter finals will be held in Shinjuku FACE on 31st July. The final rounds will be held in Korkauen Hall on 15th August.
