Tokyo Joshi Pro holds their annual Golden Week blowout event, YES! WONDERLAND” 2024, today. Usually events like this would have all 3 titles defended but there are only 2 title matches today on the 8-match lineup as the International Princess Championship will not be fought for. Instead, to commemorate the 3rd Anniversary of Yuki Arai’s debut (which was in actuality a day or two ago) she will be in a special tag match. The 2 title matches are headlining the event of course-first up, Princess Tag Team Champions Suzume & Arisu Endo will defend their titles against the team of Wakana Uehara & HIMAWARI. In the main event, Princess Of Princess Champion Miu Watanabe defends against Shoko Nakajima, who will try to become the 3rd 3-time champion in history and end Watanabe’s reign in her first defense. Also on the undercard will be an appearance by Ganbare Women flag-bearer Yuna Manase.
Today’s event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE in Japanese and English. Fans will be able to throw streamers/paper tape today as well. The 8 match lineup combined with an off-site post-event party means, based on time limits, the total running time today should be just under 3 hours.
Today’s lineup (in order):
Toga vs. Shino Suzuki
Mahiro Kiryu, Chika Nanase & Kira Summer vs. Moka Miyamoto, Kaya Toribami & Uta Takami

Updates below will begin at 7:30 PM PT/10:30 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin at 7 PM PT/10 PM ET.
7 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should go to the venue shortly before the event begins.
7:17 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.
We are LIVE from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Your hosts are Haruo Murata, Kagehiro Osano & Sayoko Mita. The English commentary is Mr. Haku & Gaia something.
The paid attendance will be announced after the event. Too early to make a prediction as the crowd is still filing in but with the normal setup they have (only using the middle bleacher section on the opposite-hard camera side), and considering it’s a holiday in Japan despite a Monday morning matinee, I’ll make my usual guess of around 750. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 756)
The matches should begin in 20-25 minutes.
Sayuri Namba’s opening announcements begin at 7:24 PM PT, notable response from the crowd as she’s ditched her usual black/white dress for a more Final Fantasy-inspired all-black Tifa Lockheart-style look. During this Arisu Endo was brought out, at which time a hometown return event in her hometown of Aizuwakamatsu was announced for 9/14. Yuki Kamifuku ios also out, now having won the VPW (Vietnam) Women’s Championship in addition to her Queen Of Asia (Singapore) Championship match. And on 5/18 at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring she will defend both titles against Alexis Lee.
Up Up Girls follows and…wait, only 2? 3? Shino Suzuki is running late! Then…5 more?!? New recruits it seems-and now there are 9! Catching up to the 48s! The new girls will have a special event on 7/7 in Tokyo, based on the kanji I believe it could be at Ueno Park Outdoor Stage. (Update: The Up Up Girls official social media account announced it’s a collaboration between a second unit of the group and TJPW and it will be at Ueno Park Outdoor Stage)
The matches begin at 7:50 PM PT/10:50 PM ET.
