It was a fairly quiet week in the joshi business. There will be a big explosion at next week's OZ Academy show. Of course spring in Tokyo means the blooming of the cherry blossoms is a big deal so most of the events on blogs and websites was related to that. There was one stand alone show at Shin-kiba 1st Ring on Apr. 6 called LEE Presents BEGINNING. Yes, that is Lee Jeans and they have done joshi shows before and will sponsor another one later this year.
The star of the show was Fuuka so they had a fan event on Saturday with Fuuka meeting fans. She was telling fans that Nanae Takahashi would appear on the May 5 Fuuka Matsuri. Takahashi confirmed that today. Before the show, Smackgirl fighter Hitomi Akano sang and Mio Shirai, Shuu Shibutani & Fuuka were signing autographs. The opener had Haruka Matsuo vs Mio Shirai. Mio attacked Matsuo with punches & dropkicks. But Matsuo came back with a half crab followed by a suplex for a two count. Mio came back but Matsuo regained control and after a superkick, Matsuo won with a Northern Lights suplex followed by a German suplex in about seven minutes.
Next was Arisa Nakajima & Toshie Uematsu vs Yumi Ohka & Hanako Kobayashi. The match started with Uematsu abusing Kobayashi. Ohka tagged in and got the same treatmant including a double team suplex. A Kobayashi cross body block on Nakajima turned things around and then Ohka wrapped her legs around Nakajima's hean from the top turnbuckle. An Ohka power bomb gets two. Uematsu tags in and catches Kobayashi on the top rope for a superplex. Ohka comes in to help but Nakajima outmaneuvers both with a cross body. Uematsu's Northern Lights suplex on Kobayashi is broken up by Ohka. This is followed by a fisherman's suplex and a cradle roll for the win at 16:32.
Next up was Hikaru & Yuu Yamagata vs Takako Inoue & Mai Ichii. The match begins with Ichii controlling Hikaru. Takako tags in and nails her with a spin kick. Yamagata tags in and Takako is double teamed. Ichii tags in and pounds Yamagata followed by a double team in the ropes. Hikaru tags in and is kicked by Ichii. A couple of stiff kicks by Takako gets a two count. Ichii crashes & burns when she misses a flying move. Yamagata finishes her with an avalanche style brain buster at 12:51.
The main event was Fuuka & Apple Miyuki vs Shuu Shibutani & Io Shirai. It's amusing to see Fuuka wearing a chamionship belt (EWA Womens Titile). Io seems to like playing heel as she doesn't shake hands with Fuuka. The match goes back and forth for a while until IO and then Shibutani get the edge on Fuuka. Apple turns the tables and after a jumping moonsault press and a Northern Lights suplex softens Io up, Fuuka finishes her with two straight F-Crashes for the win at 12:50. After the show, they all went to look at more cherry blossoms. It is good to see Apple Miyuki on one of these shows.
