Tokyo Joshi Pro - My life; let's enjoy!! (10/19/2019)

2. Hikari Noa vs. Raku

Like the Hikari-Miu match in Ryogoku KFC, this showed the individual growth of the Up Up Girls. Raku showed a strong desire to win, with an array of new moves, including an improved sleeper hold with body scissors.

***1/2

4. magical sugar rabbits (Mizuki & Yuka Sakazaki) vs. Miyu Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima

This match served as a prelude to Shoko Nakajima vs. Yuka Sakazaki, but was also a symbol of Tokyo Joshi's 2019. An epic tag match among arguably the four pillars of the promotion. Great chemistry and consistently hot action.

****1/4

5. International Princess Championship: Yuna Manase (c) vs. Maki Itoh

Ito and Yuna are such opposites that I didn't know what to expect from them, but they ended up working a very good match. Itoh is small, but she has so much charisma and confidence that her dominating Yuna during certain portions worked. The match was well laid out and had a hot finishing stretch with a shocking finish.

***3/4

6. Princess Tag Team Championship: NEO Biishiki-gun (Misao & Saki-sama) (c) vs. PINK READY (Mina Shirakawa & Yuki Kamifuku)

The pairing of Mina & Kamiyu have been having great performances since February, and their performance in this title match was appropriately the best yet. This match had a frenetic pacing, and lots of exciting double teams and momentum shifts.
