Tokyo Joshi Pro - 8th Tokyo Princess Cup (7/24/2021)

5. Tokyo Princess Cup 2021 Second Round: Mizuki vs. Mirai Maiumi

This match didn't connect with me much. I wasn't into the flow and there seemed to be no clear direction. However, there were some moments that stood out, such as Mirai's Casadora counter and Mizuki's basement dropkick where she flew out of the ring.

**1/2

6. Tokyo Princess Cup 2021 Second Round: Miyu Yamashita vs. Yuki Kamifuku

Kamiyu was being cut off by Miyu's kicking ability before she was finally able to make a breakthrough and let loose. Miyu took a big bump off the apron for Kamiyu's dropkick, and Kamiyu showed off some cool combos, including an octopus hold that transitioned into a famouser. Loved the strike exchange at the end too. There were spots that looked too deliberate in their setup, but I enjoyed this a lot. The gradual pace allowed for the tension to really build up.

***3/4
