NEWS: GLEAT Discontinuing YouTube?

In their latest news post today, GLEAT announced that, effective December 29, they will be ending the membership aka paid channel subscription offering on YouTube. While it cost around 900 yen in Japan, it was priced higher outside Japan-in the US where this site’s administrator is located, they charged $8.99/month instead of what should have been closer to $6-7. The membership started at the beginning of this year and all live & on demand event broadcasts (most events but they also do some non-broadcasted events) were moved behind the paywall, and they promised additional members-only content. Anyone who already paid for this month’s subscription will get a full refund. Anything uploaded prior to 2025 is still available without paying.

Future plans for the channel will be announced on social media at a later date.

BREAKING: Absent TJPW Wrestler Retires

Tokyo Joshi Pro has provided an update on Moka Miyamoto, who has been out the last several months due to an unspecified illness which also forced her to vacate the International Princess Championship. Unfortunately it’s not the best update-Miyamoto has decided to retire. There will be no retirement ceremony/event per her request. Really sad about this because over the last couple years she was showing a lot of improvement and that title win was a huge milestone for Miyamoto, who seemed to be heading towards a Princess Of Princess Championship reign in the next year or two. I wish her all the best in the future.

(Many TJPW wrestlers past & present, as well as regular TV/WRESTLE UNIVERSE personalities Haruo Murata & Sayoko Mita, have posted memories and well-wishes to Miyamoto on social media today as well)

Tokyo Joshi Pro 12/7/25 Results (Updated)

Tokyo Joshi Pro held a special collaboration event with Japanese idol music group OCHA NORMA today, featuring a combination of wrestling matches and live performances by the popular all-girl J-Pop group as well as Up Up Girls.

Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand as a PPV on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese. The PPV is available for 3000 Japanese yen (around $19 US) for paid monthly UNIVERSE subscribers and 3500 yen (around $23 US) for free subscribers. Purchase includes unlimited replays for the next month and includes all music performances in addition to the matches.

The announced paid attendance was 910, a full house/near sellout. Due to the setup it was reduced capacity, it looks like they didn’t use the opposite-camera bleacher seats at all.

Up Up Girls live performance opened the event.

Match 1: HIMAWARI & Haru Kazashiro beat Arisu Endo & Uta Takami. Kazashiro beat Takami with 16 Nights (armbar variation).

Match 2: Ryo Mizunami (Independent/Freelancer), Raku & Pom Harajuku beat Mahiro Kiryu, Shino Suzuki & Chika Nanase. Mizunami pinned Nanase after a spear.

The first OCHA NORMA live performance followed the second match.

Match 3: Ochanomizu (masked mystery wrestler) & Kaya Toribami beat Wakana Uehara & Ren Konatsu. Ochanomizu pinned Konatsuwith La Ochastral.

Match 4: In a comedy game in the ring, Haru Kazashiro, Pom Harajuku & Uta Takami beat 3 members of OCHA NORMA 3-2.

Match 5: Miyu Yamashita, Rika Tatsumi & Mifu Ashida beat Hyper Misao, Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer. Tatsumi pinned Summer after Missile Hip.

After that match…
Mahiro Kiryu beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Rika Tatsumi to win the title. Kiryu becomes the 1787th Champion. Which led to…
Natsuki Natsuyama beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Mahiro Kiryu to win the title. Natsuyama becomes the 1788th Champion. OCHA NORMA holds the belt now!

The second OCHA NORMA live performance followed before the last match.

Main Event: Mizuki, Suzume & Yuki Arai beat Miu Watanabe, Yuki Aino & Toga. Suzume pinned Toga after Ring A Bell. Erika Sato was the special ring announcer.

Overall another collaboration success for TJPW and popular J-Pop groups as many TJPW wrestlers are fans of OCHA NORMA. But then something happened backstage…
A Bottle Of Tea beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Natsuki Natsuyama to win the title. Tea becomes the 1789th Champion. Considered a submission and verbally giving up the title in naturally hilarious DDT fashion. Only in DDT (and TJPW) can inanimate objects become champions. And it is awesome.

The next event is TJPW LIVE IN BANGKOK Saturday at The Circus Studio in Bangkok, Thailand. Live streaming as a(nother) PPV on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at, if I’m guessing correctly on the time, 1 AM PT/4 AM ET. The PPV is available for pre-order for 2500 yen (around $15) for monthly paid UNIVERSE subecribers and 3200 yen (around $21) for non-paid subscribers and will be available for purchase and on demand until 1/13/26. (Correction: 3 AM PT/6 AM ET will be the live start time)

UPDATE: Breaking development several hours after the event…
Mahiro Kiryu beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion A Bottle Of Tea to win the title. Kiryu becomes the 1790th Champion. Why Kiryu…

BUSHI participation is confirmed along with TBA who is a mystery member of the group. The obvious question is whether it’s Naito or someone else.
