If they can't become fluent in English, and we're not expecting them to, I'd rather them just speak from the heart in their native language. We're gonna cheer them anyway no matter what. Also some Japanese super fans flew to Vancouver for this.
>>20231261
We'll have to piece it together by the end. Miu normally rooms with Rika, but Rika is back in Japan. Suzume has roomed with Arisu before, but Arisu is in Japan. And Arisu also rooms with Arai. Neither Arisu or Rika are coming for the Vegas leg of the tour.
Texas tour, Uta and Mifu might have roomed, according to Uta's birthday event. Mifu told a story where Uta fell asleep in Mifu's bed and was sleep talking about being a second during a match.

He pretends to watch because he's ostensibly a joshi pundit/"expert", even though he admitted in a Q and A that he doesn't watch, he doesn't pay for WU (though that might have changed since they added Marigold and Senjo), and he skims results and social media because he doesn't have time to watch all the stuff he covers for his "job".

6 shows spread across 3 Japanese cities. I'm nervous that Shizuoka and Osaka will be VOD, but the fact that they're going back to Shizuoka so quickly after Shino's hometown event in May makes me wonder if Shizuoka is some new hotbed of tjpw fandom.
Or DDT is there and they have no choice but to follow them, like last year. They only streamed because they were with DDT.

It was good to see Namba updating the ticket sales, and she was going from outwardly nervous to less nervous as more seats filled up. It's hard to do a morning show, whether you're in Tokyo, Vancouver, Vegas, or anywhere. Raku gets it, people like to sleep and do nothing at home.

That would be my guess, since Shino, Arisu, and Arai are close friends outside of work.
Wonder who the other pairs/groups are. Obviously Ober Eats, they started tagging together after the Seattle trip where they stayed up all night talking and becoming friends.

From Miu's backstage promo, it sounds like Cherry is Japanese, moved to Canada when very young, and became a wrestling fan/trainee. So that's nice. Probably blows Miu's mind to meet a Japanese expat all the way over here.

I've only seen her in Mystery Wrestling but she's solid, and worked well with Suzume. Put our bee girl over on Twitter as well. She could definitely use a tour of Japan or something. Better than the dozens of Whos that Koda likes to book and spend money on for random IPC and POP challenges.
>>
>>20231453
Miyu mentioned in her interview that she liked the idea of longer tours outside Tokyo. Maybe we're starting to see that. It'll suck for us because of all the VODs, but it would probably help to expand their domestic fan base

It annoys me on social media as well. A bunch of people who hide behind random avatars and screennames have opinions on everything, jump on every trend, and feel like they can ruin the lives of and comment on people who actually put themselves out there.

I posted more pictures of myself publicly when I was younger. Then some business used my photo for advertisement without my consent. Kind of backed off since then. I wouldn't ever post myself on here though, too many miserable hikikomori who would dox you and try to ruin your life due to jealousy of actually having a life.

Almost the entire tjpw fanbase is uncles, whether japanese or western, so I'm not surprised people don't care about age. The most a poster here can hope for in life when they're older is to meeto their favorite if they visit
>>
>>20232338
There are a few nutbars in here who are terminally online and seem to hate anyone that goes out and lives life. Also, I have a family and don't want to bring any unneeded stress or danger to them because some twisted meet has too much time on their hands and a shitty attitude. As you get older and you have a spouse and child you start to value privacy more and more.

>>20232366

In japan out of all the joshi promotions, tjpw probably has one of the biggest fractions of its fanbase be women and I still feel like they're a single digit percentage of the overall total. Getting a few hundred women at a yearly tjpw womens only show with heavily discounted tickets is still a big achievement relatively speaking. It definitely helps that they're ddt affiliated and can get some fans from their pool of himbo loves. Joshi is just super uncle dominated and feels like it has been since the Beauty Pair.

You're 100% right.
I don't really think that the majority of fans being older men is the problem, it's like that with pro-wrestling over here, too.
It's just good to see variety in the crowds every now and then. Shows that there's a wider market appeal.

All three of the joshi promo generals run fine and then there will be a breakout of negative posting about Marigold in inorganic clusters at the same time in one or more of them and then it will subside. He's as obvious as he is pathetic.

Joshi stopped trying to appeal to teenage girls because the downturn in business after the Crushes retired caused Lossy to convince the Matsunagas that AJW needed to court the hardcore otaku market and that included emphasizing things like physical attractiveness so any girls that didn't leave with Chigusa and Asuka were driven away because the product was being made to appeal more to fat adut men who wanted to jack off to Takako Inoue and shit. It never really recovered from that.

Unagi should've used her powers to bring back Moka or Runa instead
>>20234323
I've gone back and forth, but I'm currently leaning toward the theory that Moka did get pregnant. That one anon theorized that she just lost interest in wrestling while out with a normal injury, but I'm not so sure that makes sense. She has just gone on a big international tour and had won her first singles title. One of her last tweets was about how excited she was. Something must have forced her to make the decision to graduate
>>20234232
Nah, wouldn't make financial sense for them to fly back. I think one reason they're doing the after party is to help fill that time

Either she dropped out, or she's debuting whenever Momo debuts

Speaking of pregnant players, I was listening to the recent Kamiyu interview today, and she said one of her goals is to be a mother. Idk if Kamiyu has a boyfriend, but it seems we can expect Kamiyu to graduate and settle down into domestic life in the near future. Also, it was interesting hearing her describe what the bts culture is like in TJPW, especially after just having read Yappy's description of IR culture. Sometimes english commentators will talk about TJPW's training as if it's like Gaea Girls, but it's clear TJPW is nothing like that

The timing of this is somewhat suspicious. Either Aniki is putting over Toga as the new friendly girls brawler and then never coming back, or it's just that she's free that date and it doesn't conflict with Senjo. I read that Senjo has a show the same day as Summer Sun Princess so Aniki won't be there.
Aniki probably won't be able to do the Princess Cup again this year either. Maybe for the best if she already won it.

Mentioned that he would have loved to help them for the Vancouver shows if they asked. I did feel like it was surprising they didn't book any aew talents but I guess they don't know each other like that and people were busy.
Billie Starkz was in England this weekend for EVE but also it's surprising they didn't get anybody for the Vegas shows either except IInspiration, who are clearly doing their own thing.
TJPW survives by being isolationist and not needing anybody anyway, I guess.

'fraid he did. He also said that he didn't know they were running shows beforehand and that they didn't contact AEW for help with running them, but if they did then he would've worked with them.

He also said he does more with DDT than TJPW because of their connections with Kenny and Takeshita and Nak.

She's an outsider so it was never guaranteed that she'd enter ever again, but I don't want everybody who wins to suddenly stop appearing, like Maki Itoh.
Really kills the kayfabe prestige. G1 winners don't just stop entering, they want to win multiple times, get multiple title shots, win multiple titles, etc.

>>20236465
It was unlikely but it would have been fascinating to see an 8 woman tag tjpw offer match on the Zero Hour.
I think the sickos would like Miu and Suzume for their flashy stuff. Maybe Wakana for her one cool move. Maybe Kamiyu because she is overtly sexual.

>>20236483
TPC is far less in scale and schedule to G1 or even Stardom's 5Star events. Considering TPC is still a 1 and done while the other two operate on round robin terms. Aniki not being in the TPC just means more matchups to explore with the TJPW cast which is better to explore in the long run along with the kayfabe. Like how Miyu is a poor TPC performer until she won it in 2023. Funny you bring up Itoh since she hasn't shown up in TPC since 2021 for various reasons.
