TJPW - Inspiration #7 (8/17/2023)
Miyu Yamashita vs. Shoko Nakajima
Shinkiba gave this the warm, intimate chika idol vibes of early TJPW. The match had an unpretentious, freewheeling feel to it, with Miyu Yamashita and Shoko Nakajima enjoying each other as opponents but not pulling any punches. The extended chain and ground segment early on was delightful to watch, with 10 years of shared experience evident. Nakasho's mix of submissions like the Indian death lock and yurikamome, as well as high-flying moves like topes and the 619, was truly impressive - a full-on four-dimensional assault. Miyu may be at the peak of her game, but Shoko was simply pristine in this match. ****1/4
