Tokyo Joshi Pro runs the second half of their TJPW PERFECTION doubleheader, and it’s the last one before a big makeover…based on new clips on YouTube, this will be the final time we see the promotion with their current logo-a new one will be unveiled tomorrow at Korakuen Hall, this coming a few weeks after their new theme music debuted (as much as I like Final Fantasy-type music, as a wrestling theme I am not a fan of it). Today is another standard house show on paper.
Kaya Toribami will miss this event due to scheduling issues. No card changes as it was announced on advance.
Today’s event will be held at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. I anticipate the event’s total running time will be about 1 hour, 45 minutes.
Today’s lineup:
Mizuki vs. Hyper Misao & Yuki Aino in a 3-way
Maki Itoh & Moka Miyamoto vs. Yuki Kamifuku & Mahiro Kiryu
Rika Tatsumi & Neko Haruna vs. Nao Kakuta & Hikari Noa
Yuka Sakazaki vs. Raku
Miyu Yamashita vs. Pom Harajuku
Shoko Nakajima & Miu Watanabe vs. Suzume & Arisu Endo

Updates below will begin at 11:30 PM ET/8:30 PM PT.
11:27 PM ET UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.
The paid attendance will be announced after the show but it looks even smaller than last time, lots of empty ringside seats. I’m estimating 150-175, which even with reduced capacity is low for the venue.
The matches will begin in about 15 minutes.
We also seem to be short ringside video equipment. Only hard camera today.

Indeed a very fast event checking in at just under 100 minutes from start to finish, and very heavy on comedy matches today.
The next event is tomorrow at Korakuen Hall, a special women-only event that will also feature the reveal of the promotion’s new logo. Only women will be admitted to the event and they get in for free. For everyone else, live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 10:30 PM ET/7:30 PM PT. Live results are scheduled although due to other live events scheduled, they may be on an up to 30 minute delay.
UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 146. Also, it appears yesterday marked the 5th anniversary of the launch of Up Up Girls by TJPW, which has had a number of members in its history, most notably former top star Reika Saiki in her prime. The 3 current members (Miu Watanabe, Raku, Hikari Noa) all debuted in TJPW on 1/4/2018.
