Tokyo Joshi Pro - Let's Go! Go! If You Go! When You Go! If You Get Lost You Just Go To Osaka! (1/7/2018)

1. Nodoka-oneesan vs. Yuka Sakazaki 

Yuka turned this into something more than an ordinary rookie squash - spectacular performance from her. Nodoka looked good as well, I liked the comedy spot where she was afraid to jump from the top rope to the outside.

***1/4

3. Super Milk Combination (Nonoko & Yuna Manase) & Yuki Kamifuki vs. Maho Kurone, Mizuki & Rika Tatsumi

This went on for way too long, and the work wasn't interesting enough for the time that it got.

*1/4

4. NEO Biishiki-gun (Saki-sama & Azusa Christie) vs. Marika Kobashi & Yuu

Solid match that served its purpose in putting over Biishiki-gun. Marika Kobashi seemed really motivated, she had a good momentum going. The Yuu-Saki-sama strike exchange was easily the highlight - Yuu's chops are horrific.

**3/4

1. Rika Tatsumi vs. Yuki Kamifuku

*

2. Hyper Misao & Yuu vs. Super Milk Combination (Nonoko & Yuna Manase)

**

3. Mizuki vs. Yuka Sakazaki

Great match, it's a timeout draw so they're taking it slow, but I thought they made the 'filler' feel meaningful. The crowd bought into the near-falls and submission struggles, and these two build to a hot finish.

***1/4

4. Shoko Nakajima & Marika Kobashi vs. NEO Biishiki-gun (Saki-Sama & Azusa Christie)

Azusa has returned as NEO Biishiki-gun's newest member, Azusa Christie, after getting kidnapped by Yukio Saint Laurent. I like how she is presented as a real threat. Her attire is mindblowing (!). Marika was a good heat magnet for Biishiki-gun, the way they were working her over was fun.

**1/2

5. Reika Saiki & Maho Kurone vs. Miyu Yamashita & Nodoka-oneesan

Muscle Waifu & Zombie Waifu are a strange pairing. I don't have a lot to say about this one, it's what you'd expect. Solid prelude to Saiki/Miyu.

**1/2

Tokyo Joshi Pro - Smile YES Shinjuku (11/23/2017)

1. Maho Kurone vs. Yuki Kamifuku

The work was much better in this match than their previous match, the character work, I mean... once they got to the wrestling portion, it lost me.

*1/2

2.  Ito Respect Army (Maki Ito & Mizuki) vs. Nodoka-oneesan & Marika Kobashi

3. Hyper Misao vs. Rika Tatsumi

4. Saki-sama vs. Azusa Takigawa

**1/2

5. TOKYO Princess of Princess Championship Next Challenger & Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship: Yuu (c) vs. Miyu Yamashita

Yuu is on another level when it comes to making her offense look legit. I was wincing at some of the things she was doing to her opponent. Miyu went through hell, her chest reddened from Yuu's chops. She fought hard for the comeback and it felt earned. What a match.

****1/2

6. TOKYO Princess Tag Team Championship: MiraClians (Yuka Sakazaki & Shoko Nakajima) (c) vs. Super Milk Combination (Nonoko & Yuna Manase)

Fun match between two fun teams. I thought the boob double teams were clever. I didn't feel strongly about the closer between Shoko and Nonoko, would've been much better if Yuka was there. I think she could have put together a more compelling finishing run. Good match, still.

Tokyo Joshi Pro - Girls Fight Out #6 (10/29/2017)

2. Ito Respect Army (Maki Ito & Mizuki) vs. Yuki Kamifuki & Yuna Manase

Yuna needs to improve that Raiden Drop. She's probably afraid of hurting her opponents, but come on, it has no impact. Kamifuku performed well.

**

3. Nodoka-oneesan vs. Saki-sama

Good one-sided beatdown. I could watch Saki-sama's control segments all day, that paradise lock into the PK is wicked.

***1/4

4. Nonoko vs. Shoko Nakajima

Shoko is becoming my least favorite TJPW performer to watch, her offense is sloppy and weak and she hasn't shown any signs of improvement. Nonoko's portion was good, the Oppai Driver is an awesome move.

**

5. Azusa Takigawa, Miyu Yamashita & Reika Saiki vs. Rika Tatsumi, Yuka Sakazaki & Yuu

This was a solid build for Reika/Tatsumi. Miyu had fucking awesome segments with Yuka and Yuu; Yuka was out to steal the show as always. Azusa was awful, but I'm happy that she got to main event. She was over. Good main event.

***

Tokyo Joshi Pro - Smile YES Shinkiba (11/3/2017)

1. Shoko Nakajima vs. Yuki Kamifuku

Kamifuku is learning how to move around the ring better and is wearing smaller cutoff shorts, that's all I got from this. Not a good match.

*

2. Miyu Yamashita & Maki Ito vs. Yuu & Marika Kobashi

The sequence between Yuu and Ito was gripping. I thought Ito could pull it off.

**1/4

3. Azusa Takigawa vs. Nodoka-oneesan

*

4. Saki-sama vs. Mizuki

The struggle that Mizuki was facing was well-told, and Saki-sama's workovers are always compelling. That little interaction between Sama and Ito was great, they need a match together.

***

5. Yuka Sakazaki & Maho Kurone vs. Super Milk Combination (Nonoko & Yuna Manase)

Amazing debut for Super Milk Combination. Yuna looked really motivated, and Nonoko and Yuka were good as always. Maho is obviously the designated fall person, but she was fighting hard. That headscissors counter into the Oppai Driver from Nonoko was nuts. Good stuff.

***3/4

6. TOKYO Princess of Princess Championship: Reika Saiki (c) vs. Rika Tatsumi

Rika has been building the strength of her hip attacks and they were a serious threat to Saiki's title. There's a cool spot where Reika counters one with a kick and ends up hurting herself. This was fantastic; the crowd was hot and the action was engaging and full of emotion.

DDT - Fighting Beer Garden 2017 ~Shuten-doji Day~ (8/4/2017)

NEO Biishiki-gun (Saki-sama & Masa) vs. Aasa Maika & Riho

I was excited when this was announced, but with it taking place at a Beer Garden show I was worried there would be too much comedy, or even drinking, and luckily none of that was here. Just a straight up wrestling match. Aasa takes a good beating and Paradise Lock (!!); she is just a wonderful FIP. Riho was the workhorse, and brought this match to the next level with her high-flying offense and set-ups. Biishiki-gun were compelling characters as always. Great match.

****

Tokyo Joshi Pro - At This Time, Get Excited in Shinjuku! (6/4/2017)

1. Nodoka-oneesan vs. Marika Kobashi

This was remarkably bad. A match worthy of a billion DUDs.

2. Maki Ito vs. Azusa Takigawa

no

3. Miyu Yamashita vs. Mizuki

*1/2

4. Yuna Manase vs. Nonoko

Dug the boinmaker sequence where Yuna hits a boinmaker of her own, and the angry Nononko boob-onslaught was awesome; Nonoko was hammering Yuna into her boobs, and Yuna was selling the destruction well. I'd like to see more of that from Nonoko.

5. Shoko Nakajima & Mil Clown vs. Yuu & Nodoka-oneesan

This a prelude to Yuu's defense against Mil Clown's relative Yuka Sakazaki. There were cute moments here where Yuu was confused by Mil Clown antics.

Yuu vs. Azusa Takigawa (Tokyo Joshi Pro, 4/8/2017)

Tokyo Joshi Pro - AT THIS TIME, GET EXCITED IN NARIMASU (4/8/2017)

TOKYO Princess of Princess Championship: Yuu (c) vs. Azusa Takigawa

The way Yuu man-handles her opponents and destroys their chests with chops is unsavory. Azusa performed well enough, her chest was starting to look nasty and she was still taking those chops until the end.

***1/2

Tokyo Joshi Pro - At this Time, Get Excited In Yokohoma! (3/25/2017)

1. Maho Kurone vs. Yuna Manase

Maho's offense is doing a better job incorporating those zombie mannerisms into her offense. Yuna puts Maho to rest with an axe kick that sounded vicious.

**

2. Mil Clown & Nodoka-oneesan vs. Maki Ito & Reika Saiki

Maki Ito has all of the tools to become a Sakura Hirota-level comedy performer. Reika looked the best she has ever looked in her hot tag sequence.

**3/4

3. Konkatsu-gun (Azusa Takigawa & Nonoko) vs. Yuu & Shoko Nakajima

Nonoko is a genus of the ring. How often do you see a wrestler block a 619 with their boobs? Yuu effortlessly dispatches #1 contender Azusa with a sleeper, which has me interested in how they'll work their title match.

***3/4

4. Rika Tatsumi vs. Saki-sama (w/ Masa)

Saki-sama whips Rika with red roses and uses a Paradise Lock to turn her into furniture. Fun match. I can't say enough about how great Bii-gun is.

***1/4

5. Akane Miura vs. Miyu Yamashita

This was Akane Miura's graduation so they were putting forth a lot of effort to make this special. Great arm work from Miyu, and I liked that sequence where Akane absorbs Miyu's strikes Ishii-style and roars back on the offensive. An awesome clash of power and technique.

***3/4

Tokyo Joshi Pro - AT THIS TIME, GET EXCITED IN NERIMA! (3/12/2017)

1. Mil Clown vs. Maho Kurone vs. Maki Ito

Ito played off of Mil Clown and Maho's characters well. Really fun match.

***

2. Nodoka-oneesan vs. Yuna Manase

This was a meh debut for Yuna Manase, to be honest, but I suppose it did its job in establishing her moveset and finisher. Nothing much going for it.

*1/4

3. Miyu Yamashita & Shoko Nakajima vs. Bust Deluxe (Nonoko & Akane Miura)

Bust Deluxe reunited for one last time as part of Akane's graduation road. Akane did not wear her old gear. Some decent tag action, I liked the Miyu-Nonoko segment and Shoko was generally interesting.

**1/2

4. SIN Biishiki-gun (Saki-sama & Masa) vs. Rika Tatsumi & Azusa Takigawa

Biishiki-gun is one of my favorite joshi puroresu acts going today. Takigawa is determined to pin Saki-sama after coming so close the last time they met, scoring near-falls, but ultimately falls short to the very hold that beat her before.

***

5. TOKYO Princess of Princess Championship: Yuu (c) vs. Reika Saiki

I liked when Reika started laying in those kicks in response to Yuu's stiffness. The judoka bear Yuu was on a different level with those throws and submissions, though. Yuu's last ride looked frightening.

***1/2

Miyu Yamashita & Rika Tatsumi vs. SIN Biishiki-gun (Masa & Saki-sama) (Tokyo Joshi Pro, 1/21/2017)

Tokyo Joshi Pro - Girls Fight Out #1 (1/21/2017)

Miyu Yamashita & Rika Tatsumi vs. SIN Biishiki-gun (Masa & Saki-sama)

I didn't know what to expect from Masa's debut, but I ended up loving everything she did here. She's all gimmick, but she never overdid it and she compliments Saki's persona well. Yamashita and Saki traded gnarly kicks, and Rika hit her hip attacks and applied a wicked dragon sleeper on Saki.

***1/2
