Tokyo Joshi Pro runs their next major event, Additional Attack ’25, today in Tokyo. It’s another blowout event with all 3 titles in the line headlined by Miu Watanabe defending the Princess Of Princess Championsihp against Yuki Aino, who steps up for her first shot at the top title. In the other title matches, Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara defend the Princess Tag Team Championship against the relatively new team of Yuna Manase & Toga while Arisu Endo defends the International Princess Championship against the latest international challenger, Alice Crowley. Farther down the card are a trio of “Level Up Trials” where some of the younger talent on the roster take on veterans.
The promotion has announced that both Rika Tatsumi & HIMAWARI are off this event due to an excursion to China. That’ll take some early post-title match build out of the event because HIMAWARI is next for whoever is the Princess Tag Team Champions after today along with Shino Suzuki.
Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese and English. Actress Mio Matsuda will be a guest on Japanese commentary. Kira Summer will be on English commentary after her match. And we will have STREAMERS! This is a major event with 9 matches scheduled with no intermission so it will run longer than a normal Korakuen event, probably going around 3 hours.
Today’s lineup:
Mifu Ashida & Ren Konatsu vs. Kira Summer & Chika Nanase
Raku vs. Pom Harajuku, Mahiro Kiryu, Suzume & Kaya Toribami in a 5-way. This will be for the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championshp as apparently there were 2 title changes since the last event, when it ended with Rise Shirai’s Binder as the champion and Kiryu was the most recent as she is now the 1778th Champion. As always, subject to change
Miyu Yamashita vs. Shino Suzuki
Shoko Nakajima vs. Uta Takami
Mizuki vs. Haru Kazashiro
Yuki Arai vs. Hyper Misao
International Princess Champion Arisu Endo vs. Alice Crowley for the title
Princess Tag Team Champions Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara vs. Yuna Manase & Toga for the titles
Princess Of Princess Champion Miu Watanabe vs. Yuki Aino for the title

We are LIVE from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Your hosts are Haruo Murata, Kagehiro Osano, Sayoko Mita & special guest Mio Matsuda. Your English host is Mr. Haku, who will be joined later by Kira Summer.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event. It’s the old pandemic reduced capacity setup today with 2/3 of the opposite-hard-camera bleachers blocked off for commentary with advance ticket sales that seemed to be about average, so I’m going with my “standard” Korakuen prediction of around 700. With this setup a sellout, if it happened, would be around 1100. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 719)
The matches should begin in about 30 minutes. Opening announcements begin at 7:20 PM PT/`10:20 PM ET.
The matches begin at 7:33 PM PT/10:33 PM ET.
Match 1: Mifu Ashida & Ren Konatsu vs. Kira Summer & Chika Nanase. 20 minute time limit
Result: Kira Summer & Chika Nanase beat Mifu Ashida & Ren Konatsu. Summer pinned Konatsu after a Samoan drop. Summer will join English commentary shortly.
Match 2: DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Mahiro Kiryu vs. Raku, Pom Harajuku, Suzume & Kaya Toribami in a 5-way for the title. 20 minute time limit
Result: DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Mahiro Kiryu beat Raku, Pom Harajuku, Suzume & Kaya Toribami in a 5-way by pinning Harajuku to retain the title. But Raku was hot on her heels afterwards and remember it’s a 24/7 title as long as a referee is present so…
Match 3: Miyu Yamashita vs. Shino Suzuki. 15 minute time limit
Result: Miyu Yamashita beat Shino Suzuki
Match 4: Shoko Nakajima vs. Uta Takami. 15 minute time limit
Result: Shoko Nakajima beat Uta Takami
Match 5: Mizuki vs. Haru Kazashiro. 15 minute time limit (Mizuki came out with a completely new look, trading her signature white outfit for a more goth look with black, white/silver and pink, almost could be mistaken for Rika Tatsumi at first)
Result: Mizuki beat Haru Kazashiro
In news that will have Miu Watanabe squealing uncontrollably as she is a superfan of them, J-Pop girl group Ocha Norma is announced for appearing at the Korakuen event on 12/7.
Match 6: Yuki Arai vs. Hyper Misao. 15 minute time limit. They made last-second changes to the rules including 2 count pinfalls, after which is a trivia question. So in essence they made it a comedy match.
Result: Yuki Arai beat Hyper Misao. Doesn’t matter what the match was now because Arai wins and I’m happy.
Match 7: International Princess Champion Arisu Endo vs. Alice Crowley for the title. 30 minute time limit
Result: International Princess Champion Arisu Endo beat Alice Crowley to retain the title. V1 for Endo.
Match 8: Princess Tag Team Champions Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara vs. Yuna Manase (Ganabre Pro) & Toga for the titles. 30 minute time limit
Result: Princess Tag Team Champions Yuki Kamifuku & Wakana Uehara beat Yuna Manase & Toga to retain the titles. Uehara pinned Toga after Tornado. V1 for the champs. Next up: As previously announced, HIMAWARI (not at today’s event) & Shino Suzuki. That match will happen on 11/9.
Main Event: Princess Of Princess Champion Miu Watanabe vs. Yuki Aino for the title. 30 minute time limit
Result: Princess Of Princess Champion Miu Watanabe beat Yuki Aino to retain the title. V1 for Watanabe. A valiant effort by Aino in her first PoP title shot, and hopefully not her last. I still believe she will be champion someday. Next up: J-Rod, the latest US and potential/former WWE wrestler TJPW is bringing over. That match will happen on 11/9.
The next event is tomorrow at G Messe Gunma in Gunma. There will be no live broadcast. On demand Wednesday.
UPDATE: There have been last-minute changes to tomorrow’s event because after their match today, Endo & Crowley, who were in separate matches on tomorrow’s event, requested to team up. Endo was supposed to team with Shino Suzuki to face Mizuki & Haru Kazashiro, while Crowley was to have teamed with Yuki Arai & Uta Takami to face Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Kaya Toribami. It’s now Endo & Crowley vs. Mizuki & Kazashiro and Arai, Suzuki & Takami vs. Kamifuku, Uehara & Toribami.
