1. Emi Sakura vs. Rin Rin
Rin Rin's range of moves and technique was unexpected from a debutant. Her counters and transitions were good. Emi was the glue that held this together.
***1/2
2. Mitsuru Konno vs. Sayuri
Konno adjusted her style to work within Sayuri's shortcomings. Sayuri seems solid (she executed an impressive jumping knee), but she didn't bump. I wonder if she's ready to compete at a professional level if she's unable to bump. Her debut may have been rushed.
3. Mei Suruga vs. Tokiko Kirihara
Tokiko's debut was slower than the others, but she was the most impressive rookie other than Rin Rin. She showed good basics and was able to show her martial arts.
4. Lulu Pencil vs. Yuna Mizumori
Lulu reminds me of DJ Nira with her unorthodox movement and pacing. The crowd was really into her. Yuna gave an enthusiastic performance, bumping the stiff Lulu around.
5. Chie Koishikawa vs. Sayaka Obihiro
Chie's debut was an average rookie debut match. The way that she applied her fencing skills was creative.
6. Emi Sakura, Mei Suruga & Yuna Mizumori vs. Mitsuru Konno, Sayaka & Sayaka Obihiro
Sayaka gave a competent performance in her debut. Her wrestling wasn't all smooth but it was effective. The overall match felt like an Ichigaya trios in a traditional ring, lots of movement and creative spots.
***1/2
